2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT VEHICLE WOULD ROLL ON ANY INCLINE WHILE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL, THE CONSUMER PUSHED THE PARK/EMERGENCY BRAKE TO THE FLOOR AND TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE REGULAR BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN ROLLED AWAY. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TOOK THE DEALER HE WAS TOLD THE LEFT REAR ROTOR DRUM ASSEMBLY AND BOTH SIDE SHOES WERE WORN BEYOND LIMITS. *JB

THE CONSUMER STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES HAS FAILED COMPLETELY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

I RECENTLY TRADED MY FORD EXPEDITION FOR CHEVROLET TAHOE. UPON OPENING REAR TAIILGATE ONE NIGHT NOTICED THAT THE HINGES THAT HOLD GLASS TO TAILGATE HAD SEPARATED FROM VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AFTER READING OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINTS.*AK

2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS AN INOPERATIVE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM. PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED.*AK

PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. I ASKED MY DEALER TO CHECK OUT MY BRAKES AND WAS TOLD THE PARKING BRAKE RUINED THE ROTORS AND NEEDED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT COSTING $ 800. I HAVE NEVER USED THE PARKING BRAKE. I STILL COULD HEAR A SQUEAK AND RETURNED FOR INSPECTION, NOW I WAS TOLD THE BACKING PLATE IS RUSTED, THEY CUT OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE PLATE STATING IS DOESNT NEED IT? SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH GM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS MISTAKE. *AK

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2001 CHEVY TAHOE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY PARKING BRAKE. IT NEVER HAS WORKED PROPERLY, HAVING SLIPPED ON NUMEROUS OCCATIONS. WHEN I PUSH IT DOWN, IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY ON 12/7/002, BUT IT CONTINUED TO FAIL. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON IT THAT SAYS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE INSPECTED, AND CHEVROLET HAS PUT NO DEMAND ON THE DEALERS TO INSPECT THEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.*AK

I JUST WATCHED THIS A.M.'S LOCAL NEWS AND SAW A LOCAL MAN EXTREMELY UPSET AND CONCERNED ABOUT HIS 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE'S PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. I, TOO, HAVE A 2001 CHEVY TAHOE AND HAVE HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2001. THE MAN CLAIMED HIS PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT SAFE AND IN FACT HAD FAILED TO THE POINT OF HIM HAVING TO PAY TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE GM WOULD NOT. (OVER $300) THIS, AFTER HE HAD DISCOVERED GM HAD SENT NOTICES TO ALL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. THE FACT IS THAT MY PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AND I FEEL AS THE MAN IN THE NEWS REPORT SAID; THAT GM SHOULD SEND OUT A NATIONWIDE RECALL TO HAVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FIXED! WE BOUGHT OUR VEHICLES IN GOOD FAITH AND GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, PARTICULARLY WHEN SAFETY IS AN ISSUE! GM...DO THE RIGHT THING! FOR YOUR REFERENCE, THE LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL IS NBC AFFILIATE CHANNEL 12 IN PHOENIX, AZ.*AK

PARKING BRAKE / EMERGENCY ON 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS INOPERABLE. PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER BEEN USED ON THIS VEHICKE. BROWN AND BROWN ADVISED 300.00 DOLLARS TO PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ON EMERGENCY BRAKE.*AK

DRIVERS SEAT HEATING SENOR OVER HEATED. THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS AT 28,000 MILES. NOW AT THE PRESENT MILEAGES OF 33,000 MILES THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN ON THE OCCUPANT WHILE DRIVING. *JB THE SPARE TIRE CABLE PLASTIC CONNECTOR WOULD NOT RELEASE THE SPARE TIRE. *SC *JB
