TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD,ONLY 26,000 MILES. TTOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD SECOND AND THIRD GEAR WAS GONE. THEY REBUILT THOSE GEARS. PICK TAHOE UP AND WITHIN A HR IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. RETURN TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY, WAS TOLD IT WAS PUMP STICKING. REPLACE THAT. PICK BACK UP AND WITHIN A HR DID THE SAME THING. RETURN VEHICLE AND THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE FOR NEW TRANSMISSION. A WEEK LATER IT HAS NOW STARTING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STERRING. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LEAK IN THE LINES. THIS 2002 TAHOE HAS HAD PROBLEMS STARTING WITHIN MONTHS OF PURCHASE. STERRING COLUM MAKING CLUNKING NOSE, REQUIRED LUBE TWICE. HEADLIGHTS FILLING WITH WATER. NOSE IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AROUND SHOCK AREA. THEY HAD DIFFERENT REPAIRS SUCH AS REPLACING SHOCKS, GREASING. AFTER OVER A YEAR THE DEALERSHIP ADDED BUSHINGS TO THE SHOCKS, SO FAR OK.

PROBLEMS WITH FRONT ALIGNMENT ON 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE.*MR AT APPROX. 7-8K MILES, CONSUMER STARTED HAVING TIRE PROBLEMS. HE ROTATED THEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID ROTATE THEM AGAIN. CONSUMER DID. AT 14K MILES NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. CHEVY SAID TO ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 2K MILES BUT THE CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS RIDICULOUS AND DID IT EVERY 3K MILES BUT TO NO AVAIL. CONSUMER NOTED THEY NEVER TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. (PH

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND TIGHTENS, RESTRICTING (ELIMINATING!)ANY PASSENGER MOVEMENT. IT IS LIKE A SNAKE AND JUST KEEPS TIGHTENING DOWN. IN ADDITION, PRESSURE BECOMES SO GREAT ON SEAT BELT RELEASE, MY WIFE AND CHILD ARE UNABLE TO RELEASE THE SEAT-BELT. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, STANDING STILL, FORWARD OR REVERSE, ETC... DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR PROBLEM, RETRACTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND SAME CONDITION WAS PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT,THIRD RETRACTOR IS SCHEDULED FOR INSTALL. FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND DEALER HAS DONE ALL TO REPAIR PROBLEM AT THEIR LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY ME ON SEVERAL WORK VEHICLES BOTH TAHOE AND PICK-UP ALL 2002 YEARS. ALL OTHER RETRACTORS IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, WORK PROPERLY.*AK *JB
