2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THROTTLE STICKING. I SEE MAI=NY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFOIR GM HAS TO FIX THE PROBLEM???*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM. THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD. OWNER HAS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE PARKING BRAKE EVERY 5,000 MILES. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER, AND OWNER WAS TOLD THAT THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN REDESIGNED, AND TO BRING IT IN FOR AN EVALUATION. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

THE BEARING AND THE HUB ASSEMBLY HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CAUSE HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BEARING AND HUB ASSEMBLY, FRONT WHEEL BOTH REPLACED. *TT

ABS COMPUTER MODULE CAUSES THE PUMP TO CONTINUOUSLY RUN THE ABS LIGHT TO TURN ON. IT SEAMS THAT MANY 2001 TAHOES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AS PER THE PARTS DEPARTMENT ATTENDANT AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. AFTER DISCOVERING THAT THE PART WAS ABOUT $800.00 AT THE DEALER, I CONTACTED MANY SALVAGE YARDS AND THEY ALL HAD MEANY TAHOES, BUT THEY SAID THAT THE ABS MODULE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PARTS TO SALE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT MEANY PEOPLE WERE IN THE SAME SITUATION. I BELIVE THAT THERE SHUDE BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

A LOUD AIR BLOWER SOUND COULD/CAN BE HEARD FROM THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO TWO MECHANICS WHO BOTH TOLD ME THE ABS SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER TO NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE ONLY CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO PURCHASE $1,200 PART + LABOR FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER WITH NO GUARUNTEE THE PART WILL WORK. WAS TOLD BY MECHANICS THEY SEE THE ABS FAILURES IN CHEVY PRODUCTS DAILY. IN NOVEMBER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE ABS SYSTEM HAD BEEN DISENGAGED DUE TO FAILURE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND WILL SELL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *AK

I OWN A 2001 CHEVY TAHOE, THE HEATER BLOWER WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER THE KEY IS OUT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE SHOP 4 TIMES NOW WITH DEALERS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL HEAD AND THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER TWICE BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP, THEN THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THAT STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND SICK OF RUNNING UP CHARGES TO FIX SOMETHING THAT EVEN THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX. *JB

OUR 2001 TAHOE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR QUITE A WHILE. IT HOUSES THE TURN SIGNAL, CLEARANCE LIGHT AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT. IT CONSTANTLY FILLS WITH WATER. THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE LENS AND I HAVE DRIED IT OUT AND REPLACED BULBS ON A MONTHLY BASIS. I NOTICED THAT A LARGE MAJORITY OF CHEVY TRUCKS, TAHOES AND SUBURBANS ON THE ROAD HAVE ONE OF THESE LIGHTS OUT ALSO, ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. *NM

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH AN ABS BRAKE MODULE FAILURE. THE MOTOR/PUMP THAT CONTROLS THE ABS BRAKES WON'T TURN OFF. IT KEEPS RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. MY ABS LIGHT TURNS ON AND ABS BRAKES ARE NOW NOT OPERATIVE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON 2001 MODEL CHEVY/GMC FULL SIZE SUV/PICKUPS. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS DUE TO ABS BRAKE FAILURES.*AK

THE ABS BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE SENSOR, THE ROTORS, AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. *NM THE DEALER FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE PROBLEM. *TT

GAS PEDAL STICKS CLOSED, AND REQUIRES A LARGE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL. HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. WHEN YOU START UP IN MORNING, LEAVING PARKING SPACES, AT STOP LIGHTS, ETC. *JB
