1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

FUEL LEAKS FROM THE CENTRAL PORT INJECTIONS INTO THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BECOMES INOPERATIVE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK THE PCM WAS REPLACED. A MISFIRED IN THE 3 CYLINDERS AND 3 INJECTOR WERE REPLACED. *SC *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ERRATIC IN OPERATING. SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL , OR START AND STOP ON THEIR OWN. INTERMITTENT OPERATION IS ALMOST NON-EXISISTANT. YOU HAVE TO EITHER TAP ON THE MOTOR UNDER THE HOOD OR PULL ON THE ARMS TO GET THEM TO WORK.SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MONTHS AND I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS IN MY AREA WITH MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS, JUNK, TRANSMISSION JUNK,TRANSFER CASE JUNK AND REAR END JUNK. HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH 1997 4X4 SUBURBAN, KNOW MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS NOW. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR YEARS. MAY START BUYING FOREIGN AT LEAST THEY STAND BY WHAT THEY BUILD. MUST WE WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND APPLYING THE BRAKES BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL FAILED, CONSUMER REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD SWITCH AT CONSUMER'S OF $125.00. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT IGNITION ANTI-THEFT CONTROLLER WAS DEFECTIVE. WHEN STARTING IT WILL NOT CRANK, AND CONSUMER NEEDED TO WAIT AT LEAST 20 OR 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION WILL WORK. CONSUMERTOWED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES. WHILE AT DEALERSTHE MODULATOR WAS CHANGED, AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE CORRECTED, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. CURRENTLY, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

SECOND TIME THE POSITIVE TERMINAL FROM AN DELCO BATTERY HAS LEAKED CAUSING THE BATTERY CABLES TO MELT. ACID LEAKS HAVE CAUSED RUSTING ON THE FRAME AND NEAR BRAKE AND A/C LINES

WHEN DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THE 99 TAHOE LURCHED FORWARD A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN STOPPED. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE DOWN HARD TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER THAT LIGHT THE AUTOMOBLE WORKED FINE. AFTER WORK THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY MORNING AND AFTERNOON OR WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE DEALER HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THE PROBLEM BUT WHAT HE CAME UP WITH WAS THAT THE WIRING HARNESS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HAD SHORTED OUT CAUSEING THE PCM MODUAL TO BURN UP. THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK IT WAS A SAFTY HAZARD. THE CAR IS IN THE DEALER NOW GETTING THE WIRE HARNESS AND THE PCM MODUAL REPLACED AND REPROGRAMED. I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ASKED FOR THE OLD PARTS TO BE RETURNED TO ME.I WILL PICK THE CAR UP TODAY 09/01/04 WITH THE BILL AT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TEN TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. *AK TAHOE HAD A RECALL ON THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER ON THE 1994 THROUGH 1997 VEHICLES. *SC *JB

THE AIR CONDITIONER LINES ON MY 1999 CHEVY TAHOE STARTED TO LEAK AND GM HAS TOLD ME THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER THAT THE PART NEEDED (PART #15010337) IS ON BACKORDER. THIS HAS BEEN A HOT SUMMER, AND WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND AGING ADULTS, THIS IS NOT JUST UNACCEPATBLE, BUT DANGEROUS.*AK

MY 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO START. THE ENGINE CRANKS AND THEN DIES. IT WILL DO THIS, THEN I WILL LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE (45 MIN. TO SEVERAL HOURS) AND I'LL GO BACK OUT AND IT WILL START RIGHT UP. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE UNTIL IT DOES IT CONSISTENTLY. ON 8/19/04, I TRIED TO START IT @ 7:45 A.M. IT TOOK ME UNTIL 8:25 A.M. TO START IT, AFTER WHICH I DROVE TO WORK (LATE). I WENT BACK OUT TO LEAVE THE OFFICE @ 10:30 A.M. - NO START. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP - STARTED RIGHT UP. ACCORDING TO THE BCM, A CODE OF DTC1626 SHOWED UP, WHICH INDICATES SOMETHING LIKE THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM IS PREVENTING THE FUEL ENABLE SIGNAL FROM BEING RECEIVED. THE DEALERSHIP SOLDERED THE WIRING CONNECTIONS ON THE THEFT DETERRENT HARNESS (PREVIOUSLY, CONNECTIONS WERE CRIMPED), WHICH THEY SAID HAD HELPED SEVERAL OTHER TAHOE OWNERS. TWO DAYS LATER, MY HUSBAND WAS STRANDED WITH MY NON-STARTING TAHOE AND MY RECEIPT FOR $161.84 FOR "FIXING" THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS TO BE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM!! THERE ARE AT LEAST 6 OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS 4 SERVICE BULLETINS, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR HOW TO PREVENT IT! I'VE OWNED 2 SILVERADOS AND 1 YUKON SINCE 1984 AND HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH GM'S PRODUCTS, BUT THIS TAHOE TAKES THE CAKE! IF IT HADN'T BEEN AN ANNIVERSARY GIFT FROM MY HUSBAND, I WOULD HAVE SOLD IT BY NOW! *AK
