2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DT: 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ON APRIL 15, 2005 CAROLINE WAS COMING OFF RAMP AT 10 MPH THERE WAS WATER DRAINING OFF SIDE, THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON APRIL 18,2005, AND THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. *AK DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR SEEMS TO FILL WITH WATER. NO WATER FOUND IN DOOR. DOOR IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW WATER TO GO IN DOOR AND DRAIN OUT BOTTOM. IDLE IS ROUGH. DEALER LET VEHICLE IDLE IN STALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES WITH NO ROUGH IDLE NOTED. *TT

CUSTOMER THAT WANTS TO KNOW IF A MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING/REPLACING ITEMS LISTED AND/OR CONTAINED IN THE (TSB) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN'S; AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANUFACTURER?

THE ABS ACTIVATES AT SLOW SPEEDS(ANYTHING BELOW 10 MPH) WHETHER YOU ARE GOING FORWARD OR REVERSE. IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL LONGER DISTANCES IN ORDER TO STOP, NOT MENTIONING SCAREING THE DEVIL OUT OF THE DRIVER. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE OFTEN.

HEAR A KLUNKING NOISE EVERYTIME THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS, THEN A WHINING NOISE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS, AND A NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE TRANSMISSION... THEN YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE NO REVERSE.

DT: THE CONTACT HAS 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. NOTICED A FUTTER/RATTLING COMPRESSOR LIKE SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING. APPEARS TO BE FROM AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) COMPRESSOR AIR VENTS IN THE BACK OF THE TAHOE ARE NOT COOLING OFF AS WELL AS THE FRONT. WITH A/C OFF IT WILL NOT MAKE THIS NOISE. CALLER TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. HAD SEVERAL THINGS DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO KEEP THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, AND NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP.*AK

BRAKES FADED AND PULSATED, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, DID NOT OCCUR EVERYTIME, MAINLY SLOWER SPEEDS. BRAKES STEADILY GOT WORSE. FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED HAD TO TURN TO AVOID STRIKING CAR IN FRONT. FRONT WHEEL HUBS AND BEARINGS ALONG WITH RUSTED BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. BRAKE PADS ONLY MAKING CONTACT WITH LESS THAN ONE INCH OF ROTOR

DT: THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STOPPED WORKING. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP , AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM WAS A WEAR AND TIRE PROBLEM. CONTACTED GMC, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD NOT WORKED FOR A MONTH. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP RIGHT NOW.*AK

DT: THE 2002 TAHOE ABS DEFECT IN THEM. CALLED GM THEY ARE NOT GOING TO WARRANTY THE VEHICLES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. THERE IS NO RECALL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, BECAUSE THEY ARE RECALL THE ONES CANADA. THE BRAKES AT A SLOW SPEED ARE ACTIVATING, AND TOOK TO A GM DEALER AND GM WILL NOT REIMBURSE. TESTING AND FOUND THE ABS SENSORS CORRODED AND GAP SPREAD, PER GM TECH AT DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AT OWN EXPENSE AND WANTS REIMBURSMENT!! *NM
