2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

REAR WINDOW HATCH FRAME BROKE AWAY FROM HINGES ON THE BODY FRAME. WHEN OPENING THE REAR HATCH WINDOW THE HATCH SEPARATED FROM THE BODY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE LEFT SIDE BROKE/SEPARATED AS WELL ON ITS OWN. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE IN THIS CONDITION AS THE WINDOW COULD NOW EASILY COMPLETELY BECOME DETACHED FROM THE CAR THUS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM #1355994572 WHICH IS PENDING RESOLUTION.*JB

DT: CONSUMER SAYS THAT ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER APPLIES THE BRAKES, HE SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. CONSUMER WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IF HE CONTINUES TO DRIVE VEHICLE, IT WILL EVENTUALLY LOCK UP. CONSUMER ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF RECALL IN THE NORTH PART OF THE NATION, BUT HIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. CONSUMER WANTS HIS VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDE IN THE RECALL TO GET IT FIXED. CONSUMER WANTS TO REIMBURSED IN FULL FOR COSTS OF FIXING PROBLEM.*AK *JB

DURING THE RECENT HIGH TEMPERATURE WEATHER WE HAD LAST WEEK, THE MOLDING OF THE REAR HATCH SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW. THE HINGE THAT SECURES THE GLASS TO THE HATCH TORE FROM THE MOLDING WHICH IS PART OF THE GLASS. WITH THIS TEAR IN THE WINDOW MOLDING, THE WINDOW COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION. I WOULD GUESS THAT THE TRIM/SEAL WHICH THE HINGE IS PART OF BECOMES TOO SOFT DURING EXTREME HEAT, AND MAKES IT SOFT ENOUGH TO TEAR WHEN THE WINDOW IS OPENED AND CLOSED. VIN: [XXX] GM CLAIMS THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". *NM UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE LISTED CAMPAIGN ID 05V155000 ON A 2002 TAHOE. I SPOKE WITH CHRIS LASH, SAFETY DEFECTS ENGINEER WITH YOU LAST YEAR IN NOVEMBER. TODAY, I SEE GM HAS RECALLED SEVERAL VEHICLES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I AM NOT INCLUDED ON THIS LIST ALTHOUGH I HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP FAILURE. MY VIN IS [XXX]. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO ASSIST IN THIS EFFORT. GM IS NON-RESPONSIVE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *NM UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DT: CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT ABS BRAKE FAILURE. . AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY FAILED. THERE WAS PULSATION WITHIN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THIS RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING AND INDICATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITHIN THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. A LOCAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN CLEANED THE ABS SENSOR. THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ABS SENSOR AND REPLACE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. CONSUMER DISCONNECTED THE ABS FUSE. CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ABS BRAKES IN CANADA. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BURNED OUT, AND WHEN HE WENT TO REPLACE THEM THE LIGHT BULB AND THE SOCKET WERE CHARRED. HE NOTICED THIS ON 7-19-05. HE HASN'T TALKED TO THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER BUT PLANS ON DOING SO. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED.*AK

DAY RUNNING LIGHTS ON VEHICLE BURNED OUT - UPON CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB FOUND THAT THE LIGHT BULB AND THE LIGHT SOCKET HAD BURNED - LIKE IT CAUGHT ON FIRE - CLEAR LENS COVER IS SMOKED UP.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE, HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER, WHERE THEY REPAIRED. SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE SUN GEAR SHEILD / REACTION SHIELD. DROVE FINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 MONTHS, THEN SAME EXACT PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN.

OEM WILDERNESS FIRESTONE TIRES WEARING UNEVENLY. ALIGNMENT, BALANCE, PRESSURE,ETC ALL IN CHECK. THE INNER WALL WEARS UNEVENLY CAUSING ROAD NOISE, VIBRATION. NO TIRE FAILURE, YET. SPOKE TO DISCOUNT TIRE REPS. AND THEY'VE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITH THESE ON TAHOES. ONCE A DIFFERENT TIRE IS REPLACE ON THE RIM, THE UNEVEN WEARING STOPS.

TURNED A/C ON AND HEARD A RATTLE THEN A THUMPING SOUND. A/C STILL WORKED FOR TWO DAYS THEN THE A/C BELT BROKE. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW BELT. MECHANIC REPLACED BELT, DROVE ACROSS THE STREET....COMPRESSOR LOCKS UP AND BREAKS THE BELT. MECHANIC CONTACTS GM AND FINDS OUT THAT THE FAN CLUTCH COULD GO OUT, SEND A SIGNAL TO A/C COMPRESSOR CAUSING TO LOCK UP. REPLACE FAN CLUTCH, REPLACED BELT....AGAIN NOISE THEN BELT BREAKAGE. THE COMPRESSOR IS WORKING THEN LOCKS UP FOR NO REASON. PUTTING IN A NEW COMPRESSOR, NEW BELT, AND THE NEW FAN CLUTCH REMAINS.
