2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I AM 6FT 1IN TALL AND WHEN I SIT IN THE TRUCK WITH THE SEAT IN ITS LOWEST POSITION, LEAVES ME WITH 1-2 INCHES OF HEAD SPACE, I CAN NOT ADJUST THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE DOWN THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK. THE MIRRORS DO NOT FLAIR OUT OR UP ENOUGH FOR ME TO SAFELY SEE INTO THE ADJACENT LANES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I SAT IN SEVERAL TAHOES AND THE MIRRORS WERE ALL THE SAME. I HAVE REMEDIATED THE PROBLEM, SOME WHAT, BY ATTACHING A CONVEX MIRROR TO EACH OF MY SIDE MIRRORS. WHEN THE MIRRORS ARE FULLY FLARED UP AND OUT, HALF OF THE IMAGE I SEE IN THE MIRRORS IS OF MY OWN TRUCK. *TR

GM/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT CORRECT SAFETY ISSUE WITH SPARE TIRE. GM/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT PUT RESPONSE IN WRITING. GM/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT DISCUSS MIXING OF BRIDGESTONE AND GOODYEAR BELT DESIGNS. THE SPARE IS NOT A "DUMMY TIRE" AND IS NOT A "FULLY OPERATIONAL SPARE" PER GM. THE SPARE CANNOT BE USED IN 4WD, IF SPARE USED IN 4WD WARRANTY IS VOIDED. GM/CHEVROLET MIXES TIRE MFG, TIRE DESIGN, TIRE # BELTS ON DRIVE TIRES AND "SPARE". THIS IS AN UNSAFE ACT. THE FOUR DRIVE TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE DUELLER HL ALENZA P275-55R20 (2POLY/2STEEL/1NYLON BELT). THE SPARE TIRE IS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P265-70R17 (2POLY/2STEEL BELT) (MFG DESIGN IS FULLY OPERATIONAL) SPARE. GM/CHEVROLET HAD NO DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE ODD SPARE CATEGORY PRIOR TO PURCHASE AND NOT NOTED IN WINDOW STICKER. OWNER MANUAL IS UNCLEAR ABOUT THE SPARE AND AVOIDS ANY FACTS ABOUT THE SPARE BEING GOODYEAR AND DRIVE TIRES ARE BRIDGESTONE DESIGN. GM/CHEVROLET HAS CREATED A THIRD CATEGORY FOR A SPARE: "BOBO". TYPE 1 IS FULLY OPERATIONAL SPARE, TYPE 2 IS A DUMMY SPARE (NOT FULLY OPERATION), AND TYPE 3 IS NEW AND IS A BOBO SPARE, APPEARS TO BE A FULLY OPERATIONAL TIRE BUT GM STATES NOT FULLY OPERATIONAL (AND NOT A DUMMY TIRE TOO). THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR GM TO NOT HAVE A BRIDGESTONE DUELLER HL ALENZA P265-70R17 TIRE ON THE SPARE RIM, INSTEAD OF A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HPP265-70R17 TIRE. THIS WOULD MAKE ALL TIRES ON THE TAHOE BRIDGESTONE DUELLER HL ALENZA DESIGN/BELTS. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE, AND TWO WEEKS LATER DROVE IT TO THE WASHINGTON COAST FROM BOISE, IDAHO (APPROXIMATELY 630 MILES). WHILE THERE THE BACK DRIVERSIDE REAR SEAT DOOR WORKED FINE. THEN ON THE FOURTH DAY, WE RETURNED FROM AN OUTING, AND IT WAS OKAY. WENT OUT LATER TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE CAR AND THE LEFT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. EXTERNAL HANDLE COME OUT ABOUT AN INCH AND STAYED OUT (LIKE NO SPRING CONNECTED). DOOR WAS UNLOCKED (BUTTON UP). TRIED THE INSIDE HANDLE AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. JUST SWUNG OUT AS NORMAL, BUT DIDN'T OPEN DOOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE RETURNED TO BOISE, AND DOOR WAS INOPERATIVE WHOLE WAY HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WE WENT OUT TO UNLOAD SOME MORE THINGS. AND THE DOOR WORKED. I AM TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER WHO SAYS THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THIS WITH OTHER TAHOES. CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY FACTOR. IF WE WERE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR DIDN'T OPEN, IT COULD BE A FACTOR TO SURVIVAL. ADDITIONALLY, IN THE EVENT OF A WATER ENTRY, SINCE THE REAR WINDOWS ONLY ROLL DOWN HALF-WAY, ESCAPE IS NECESSARY THROUGH THE DOOR. IN THIS CASE, AN INOPERATIVE DOOR COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. *KB

2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO INFORM NHTSA OF THE TERRIFIC SERVICE THAT WIN KELLY CHEVROLET DID FOR A RECALL. HE RECEIVED NOTICE THROUGH ONSTAR THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL AND WITHIN 4 HOURS THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *KB

THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER A BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED WHICH STATED THE RECIRCULATION DOOR WAS NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. THEY ALSO STATED GM TECH'S HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. *JB

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 85 IN MY HOMETOWN OF THOMASVILLE NORTH CAROLINA IN MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE WHICH HAD EXACTLY 1,320 MILES ON IT, ON 12/13/10 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:00 PM, MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. I WAS TRAVELING AT ROUGHLY 60-65 MPH AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. I WAS CRUISING ALONG, PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AS I ALWAYS DO BEING MINDFUL OF OTHER DRIVERS AND MY SURROUNDINGS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP OR BANG WHICH I WOULD CONSIDER SIMILAR TO A RIFLE OR SHOTGUN BLAST. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HEARING THIS LOUD NOISE, I SLOWED MY SPEED TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THE LOUD NOISE. ABOUT THAT TIME MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AND BEGAN TO CHIME AND LIGHT UP SIGNALING THAT MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND BEGAN TO FEEL THE VEHICLE PULL AND DRAG AND FELT THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE BEGINNING TO DROP. I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON AN OFF RAMP. I GOT OUT TO INSPECT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WHAT I SAW WAS A TIRE THAT WAS COMPLETELY DEFLATED AND WAS SMOKING. I THEN GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND CALLED ONSTAR AND NOTIFIED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY THEN CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME AND CHANGE MY TIRE WHICH THEY DID IN A TIMELY FASHION. *TR
