2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ABS MOTOR STARTED TO RUN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, BUT THE ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN. I HAD TO GO UNDER THE HOOD AND PULL THE FUSE TO PREVENT THE MOTOR FROM BURINING OUT AND TO PREVENT THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE DEALER WANTS $1000 TO REPLAVE THE EBCM, BUT SOME COMPAINES ON THE INTERNET WHO WERE FORMED SOLELY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WILL DO IT FOR CHEAPER. THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTENET SITES WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL TYPES OF CHEVY TRUCKS FROM 1999-2003.*AK

ON AUGUST 3, 2003, CHRISTOPHER MOFFEIT, AUDREY MOFFIET AND THEIR TWIN DAUGHTERS, MACKENZI MOFFIET AND MALLORY MOFFEIT, WERE INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ROLLOVER ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING IN THEIR 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE. MACKENZIE AND HER SISTER, MALLORY, WERE SECURELY BUCKLED INTO THEIR CHILD SAFETY SEATS WHICH WERE FASTENED INTO THE BACKSEAT OF THE TAHOE WITH SEATBELTS. FORENSIC EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE SEATBELT SECURING MACKENZI'S CHILD SAFETY SEAT RELEASED DURING THE ROLLOVER COLLISION. MACKENZI'S CHILD SAFETY SEAT WAS EJECTED FROM THE TAHOE. AS A RESULT OF THE INJURIES SHE SUSTAINED, MACKENZI PASSED AWAY SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. FORENSIC EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE SEATBELTS OF CHRISTOPHER AND AUDREY ALSO RELEASED DURING THE ROLLOVER COLLISION. BOTH WERE EJECTED AND DIED AUGUST 3, 2003 AS A RESULT OF THE INJURIES THEY SUSTAINED IN SAID ACCIDENT.*AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND, THERE IS A SHUDDERING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. *LA

2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE--ABS LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, NOISE HEARD BELOW VEHICLE. SERVICE TECH ADVISED THE ABS SENSOR MODULE HAD GONE BAD--@$1,000.00 REPAIR. SAW SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE--THOUGHT IT MAY HELP TO INCLUDE THIS INCIDENT. *LA

DEFECTS: ABS LIGHT ON AT 43,600 MILES. WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF A LOUD NOISE IS HEARD BENEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAID THE ABS UNIT IS PURGING. AT 20 MILES AND REGULARLY THERE AFTER, WHEN THE FOG LIGHT POWER BUTTON IS PRESSED, THE REAR WINDOW WIPER BRIEFLY MAKES NOISE AS IF IT HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. AT 3000 MILES AND REGULARLY THERE AFTER , ALL FOUR DOORS SQUEAK AT THE HINGES AND MUST BE LUBRICATED WEEKLY. AT 10,600 MILES THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEGAN TO LEAK. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT SQUEAK AND DO NOT FIRMLY LOCK INTO POSITION. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS DO NOT LOCK INTO POSITION. THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT WORKED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *LA

SHOULDER RESTRAINT FAILS TO LOCK, IT CONTINUALLY RETRACTS WHILE DRIVER IS WEARING IT. WITH EVERY MOVEMENT SEAT BELT CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN RESTRICTING ANY MOVEMENT OF YOUR UPPER BODY. DRIVER RESTRAINT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DRIVER IS FORCED TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHETHER WEAR THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR NOT WEAR IT AND BE IN DANGER AS WELL AS BREAKING THE LAW! ALTHOUGH THE RETRACTING MECHANISM SQUEAKS ALL THE TIME, THE RETRACTION DIFFICULTIES ARE INTERMITTENT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, BUT GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO REPAIR THE SEAT BELT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS 49K MILES, DESPITE THE OBVIOUS HAZARD TO THE VEHICLE OWNER AND OTHERS SHARING THE ROADWAY AT THE TIME. *JB
