1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THERE IS A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK IS EXPANDABLE AND CAUSES THIS POPPING SOUND. NLM DEALER REMEDIED PROBLEM AND FOUND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO BE THE PROBLEM. *SLC

FRONT COLLISION AT 25-30 MPH, AND NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, CONSUMER SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES.*AK

WHEN TURNING RIGHT, STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK AND VEHICLE WILL ROCK AND SWERVE DUE TO EVO SENSOR MODULE. HAD EVO SENSOR REPLACED. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK THE EVO SENSOR CONTROLS THE POWER STEERING PUMP, THE SENSOR IS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN NEAR THE FIREWALL ON THE CABIN SIDE. *TT

BRAKES ON RIGHT PASSENGER'S SIDE KEEPS WEARING DOWN METAL TO METAL. HAD REPLACED 5 TIMES. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK

DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND BOTH AXLES CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH.*AK

VEHICLE FAILS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED. WHEN RELEASNG THE ACCELERATOR I NOTICE THAT TACHOMETER REMAINS AT THE SAME RPM. AT FIRST THIS TROUBLE WAS INTERMITTANT BUT HAS PROGRESSIVELY FAILED MORE OFTEN UNTIL NOW IT IS CONTINOUS. THE ONLY WAY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN IS BY BRAKING USING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES. WHEN THE ENGINE BRAKING WAS WORKING OK, ABOUT TWO SECONDS AFTER TAKING YOUR FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR IT WOULD SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 2/22/2001 AND HE SUPPOSEDLY TOOK IT FOR A TEST RUN, HOWEVER, THE ODOMETER IN AND OUT WERE IDENTICAL, 26528 MILES. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN, THEIR LATEST RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY ALL DO THAT AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. I FEEL THAT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED SHORTLY IT WILL CAUSE PREMATURE BRAKE FAILURE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE BRAKING WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.*AK

WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED THE CAR CONTINUES AT CURRENT SPEED FOR 5 TO 8 SECONDS BEFORE DECELERATING. THE TACHOMETER READING DOES NOT DROP DURING THIS TIME. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DRIVING AROUND TOWN SPEEDS. IT'S SCARY. IT WILL DECELERATE AND THE TACHOMETER READING DROP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, BUT I'M NEVER SURE.*AK

TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVE TETHER ANCHORS INSTALLED T CHILD SEAT. DEALER USED FRONT TIE DOWN BRACKETS AFTER OWNER'S MANUAL READ DO NOT USE FRONT SET OF TIE DOWN BRACKETS TO INSTALL ANCHORS. DEALER ALSO INDICATED MANUAL WAS WRONG.*AK

FRONT SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RETRACT OUT FROM SPOOL MECHANISM. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK CONSUMER STATED PASSENGER SEAT BELT/SHOULDER STRAP DOES NOT PULL OUT OF FLOOR MOUNT.*SLC
