2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

VERY CONCERNED ABOUT INABLILITY TO MAINTAN SEAT MOUNTED SEATBELT SHOULDER STRAP ON SHOULDER WITH ANY SHOULDER MOVEMENT. SHOULDER STRAP CONTINUES TO SLIDE OFF SHOULDER CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IMPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF POSITIONING OF SHOULDER STRAP IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT. UNABLE TO GET ANY SAFETY INFORMATION FROM GM CONCERNING THIS ISSUE OR SEATBELT PROTECTION FOR THIS VEHICLE IN GENERAL. I DON'T WISH TO BE ONE OF YOUR STATS IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS BEFORE THIS MAY CAREFULLY BE LOOKED AT. THANK YOU.*AK

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT STARTED TO OCCUR. THE VIBRATION WOULD BE SO BAD THAT I COULD BEARLY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WOULD THEN FADE IN 5 MILES OR SO. I HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE VIBRATION STARTED TO OCCUR I COULD USE MY LEFT FOOT AND LIFT UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VIBRATION WOULD IMMEDIATLEY STOP. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL THE DEALER THIS NEW INFORMATION.*AK
