2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD BE ENGAGED, THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IF THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE, AND IN NEUTRAL GEAR, THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT WAS A NORMAL POSITION FOR THE BRAKE AND THEY WERE SELF ADJUSTING. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS.*JB

VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 4 TIMES FOR MALFUNCTION OF THE BRAKES. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED BUT NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. CONSUMER FEELS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. *TT *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATES AND IS VERY FIRM. VEHICLE HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP TO RETURN IT TO HELP ELIMINATE THE SHAKING. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT FEELS THIS CONDITION IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TT *NLM

BLOWOUT (OUTSIDE SIDEWALL). TIRES WERE USED ON A 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES USE. SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS APPROX 60MPH. THIS OCCURRED AT NIGHT WHEN TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 58 DEGREES. I HAVE INCLUDED THIS INFORMATION SO YOU CAN SEE THAT NEITHER EXCESSIVE SPEED OR TEMPERATURE WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. TS

I AM WRITING TO YOU AT THE REQUEST OF GENERAL MOTORS SERVICE ADVISOR. I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE. AT 39,000 MILES ONE OF THE THIRD SEAT LATCHES IN THE BACK BROKE. THIS PREVENTED THE SEAT FROM LATCHING DOWN IN PLACE AND LET THE SEAT POP IN AND OUT OF THE FLOOR MOUNTED LOCKING BRACKETS. GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE SENT ME TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGREED TO COVER THE ITEM AS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY ASKED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA SO THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE LOOKED AT TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE SAFETY OF AN OCCUPANT RIDING IN THE SEAT COULD BE COMPROMISED. 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE VIN 1GNEK13T51R101941 PART NUMBER 12478359

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PH

THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. CONSUMER STATES' TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALAER. TS

THE ROOF STRUT THAT THE HEADLINER ATTACHES TO IS PUNCHED TOO BIG FOR THE PLUGS THEY INSTALLED. GM HAS REPLACED THE HEADLINER, PLUGS, AND NOW WANT TO INSTALL FELT AROUND THE PLUD AND "RAM IT BACK IN" WHICH IS NOT A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WAITING FOR THEM TO EITHER REPLACE THE STRUT OR THE CAR. I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE WITH THIS, CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO? DT

DRIVER FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS AS WELL AS PASSENGER FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN MY 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE WHEN MY VEHICLE HIT BLACK ICE ON I-70 IN KANSAS AND WAS STRUCK BY AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK. TRUCK HIT AT SECOND PASSENGER DOOR ON RIGHT SIDE, SPUN OUR VEHICLE, RIPPED OFF THE FRONT GRILL, BADLY DENTED THE FRONT BUMPER AND TOTALLED THE VEHICLE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER RECEIVED CHEST, HEAD AND FACIAL INJURIES. DT

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE BATTERY TERMINAL CRACKED, RESULTING IN ACID LEAKING ON TO BATTERY TRAY AND OTHER UNDERHOOD ELECTRICAL WIRING. TS
