1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 55MPH ON HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN IN FRONT, AND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT OTHER VEHICLE BROADSIDE. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF.*AK

BRAKES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT 10,000 WHICH WAS ONE YEAR AGO AND ARE NOW BEING REPLACED AGAIN AT 21,000. WHEN CONTACTING MANUFACTURER, THEY REPORTED NORMAL USAGE, WHICH IS OBSURD.*AK

CONSUMER STATES BRAKE SFAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 2000 MILES AND THE DEALER HAS FAILED TO PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM.YD

MY VEHICLE HAD NO FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY 3 YEAR OLD CAN FAR TOO EASILY UNBUCKLE HIMSELF. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN ITEM THAT WOULD PREVENT HIM FROM DOING SO. *AK

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED VEHICLE EXPERIENCES EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND HAS NOT BBEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE OR CORRECT PROBLEM. *AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AND CONTACTED THREE DEALERS. THE DEALERS FAILED TO CORRECT THESE BRAKE DEFECTS. *YH

INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE SWAYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE TWICE.*AK THE CUSTOMER THINKS THE PRE SET FRONT END COULD BE POSSIBLE CAUSE. *YH

DEALER GAVE CONSUMER FRONT & BACK BRAKES ALL THE AROUND & THEY WERE JUST CHANGED. BRAKES WERE ALWAYS PURCAHSED FROM DEALER (DELCO). BRAKE DRUMS PADS & ROTORS WERE CHANGED. DEALER WAS SAYING IT WAS NORMAL WEAR. LAST TIME THEY WERE CHANGED WAS IN AUGUST.*AK

THE 10/22/00 DEFECT WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN MICHIGAN. IT WAS FIXED AND WE GOT THE VEHICLE BACK ON 10/27/00. ON OUR TRIP BACK TO INDIANA ON 10/30/00, THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WAS FLYING OUT AND IT STARTED THE HIGH PITCH HUMMING AGAIN. THAT WAS BASICALLY TWICE IT WENT OUT IN ONE WEEK! AS OF THIS DATE, 11/2/00, IT IS BACK TO A DEALER IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. *AK

THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE ORIGINAL DELCO BATTERY BROKE OFF, LEAKING ACID DOWN THE WHEEL WELL ONTO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINES AND THE ABS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE. THE ACID CORRODED THE BRAKE LINE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR, AND REMOVED THE PAINT ON THE FRAME AND LOWER A-FRAME. THE FAILURE OCCURED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED. HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY AND 2 CANS OF BATTERY ACID CLEANER TO REMOVE THE ACID IN THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LOWER FRAME ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKE PROBLEM OCCURED AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME. SHE SAID THAT THE STEERING WAS SHAKING AND RUMBLING. IT WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE. I FOUND THE LEFT FRONT CALIPER HAD SEIZED IN THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY AND WORN THE OUTER PAD TO LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. SHE SAID IT HAD BEEN SQUEALING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE RIGHT SIDE WAS OK, BUT, I CHANGED ALL FRONT PADS ANY HOW. I HAD TO CLEAN RUST FROM THE CALIPER AND MOUNT TO ALLOW MOVEMENT IN THE ASSEMBLY. I STILL HAVE THE BAD BATTERY AND THE BRAKE PADS. *AK
