1995 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

3 BOLTS HAD BROKEN FROM DASH,RATTLING IS GETTING WORST / SPOKE WITH CHEVY REFERENCE # CO2357402, (GMPP) REFERENCE #807001694. *AK

BF GOODRICH RADIAL LONG TRAIL T/A TIRE (16") EXPERIENCED POSSIBLE FAILURE CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLLOVER, THE ROLLOVER CAUSED 2 INJURIES AND ONE FATALITY. *SLC

ANTI-LOCK INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED; ERRATIC BRAKING BEHAVIOR. DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED ABS MODULATOR ASSEMBLY. ALL REPAIR COSTS WERE BORNE BY THE OWNER; DETERMINED TO BE A NON-SAFETY REPAIR. (?).

IN NOV 1998, THE SAME INSTANCE OCCURED IN AS THE BATTERY + CABLES CRACKED THE SIDE MOUNT BATTERY CABLE ATTACHMENT. THIS CAUSES ACID LEAKAGE (UNDETECTED) TO LEECH INTO BOTH CABLES, WITH EVENTUAL CABLE FAILURE, POSSIBLE TOTAL POWER LOSS. IN MY 1ST REPORT (ODI # 724340) I PAID $405.95 TO THE DEALER + TOWING CHARGES TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THIS TIME I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY WITH BOTH SIDE AND TOP MOUNT POSTS, 2 NEW CABLE ASSY'S, AND ATTACHED THE STARTER + CABLE TO THE SIDE MT, AND THE POWER CONTROL + CABLE TO THE TOP MOUNT TO ELIMINATE THE WEIGHT/PRESSURE ON THE SMALL SIDE MT 3/8" BOLT. THE WEIGHT OF BOTH CABLES ON A SINGLE SIDE MT POST IS EXCESSIVE, AND WITH VEHICLE VIBRATION DURING DRIVING THIS INCIDENT WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE HOPEFULLY ELIMINATED THIS ISSUE BY SPLITTING THE CABLE MT LOCATIONS. HOPEFULLY CHEVROLET WILL RECALL THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM COSTING CONSUMERS ALLOT OF CASH. AND THE KICKER, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A STANDARD OR EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE, WITH RESULTANT CABLE FAILURE IS NOT COVERED. FEEDBACK REQUESTED IF POSSIBLE.

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SEAT FRAME ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE, CAUSING SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED ABOUT THE SEAT. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE RESEARCHING INFO. ON THE WEB I NOTICED THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING BATTERIES. AFTER MY TAHOE DIDN'T START I FOUND THE OEM BATTERY WAS LEAKING FROM + TERMINAL. THIS OCCURED SOME TIME AGO AND THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR SERVICE ONE MONTH PRIOR SO I THOUGHT THE MECHANICS HAD OVER TIGHTENED IT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND + CABLE MYSELF; SO FAR SO GOOD. ON TO MY CHEIF COMPLAINT; APPROXIMATLY ONE WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING I FELT A SNAP IN MY SEAT. I WROTE IT OFF AS A SPRING UNTIL I STOPPED, SUDDENLY MY DRIVERS SEAT HAD BECOME A ROCKING CHAIR. UPON RETURNING HOME I FOUND THAT THE SEAT WAS SECURED TO THE PEDASTAL VIA LESS THAN 1/8" OF METAL. IT SEEMS GM IN ITS QUEST TO SAVE A BUCK NOT SO CLEVERLY FIGURED THAT THE STRESS IN NORMAL OPERATION ON A POWER SEAT IS NOT AS MUCH OF THAT IN A MANUAL SEAT. MY PROBLEM IS I PAYED MORE FOR A SEAT THAT POTENTIALLY PUTS MY FAMILY AND COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE IN LIFE THREATINING DANGER. WHAT GOOD IS A SAFETY BELT ON A SEAT THAT WILL NOT STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR VEHICLE IN A CRASH. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT THE LATTER. I HAVE A PROBLEM BELEIVING THAT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO EGINEERED THIS MESS CAN GET AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION MOTOR TO RUN. CURRENTLY I AM AWAITING MY LOCAL GM SERVICE SHOP TO FIT ME IN SO THEY CAN SPARE 1 MEASLY MINUTE TO LOOK AT MY SEAT; THE CLOSEST APPOINTMENT WAS A WEEK AWAY. IN MY OPINION ANYTHING LESS THAN THEIR CURRENT SEATS WOULD BE UNACCIPTABLE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I AM THE FIRST TO HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.*AK

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN BOTH THE AC DELCO BATTERIES LEAKED ACID INTO THEIR ATTACHED POWER CABLES ALSO DAMAGING THE ALTERNATORS. NLM

THIS TIRE SEPARATED LIKE YOU PEELED IT WITH A RAZOR BLADE. I AM THE ATTORNEY AND HAVE PHOTOS AND THE TIRE IF THEY ARE NEEDED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET INFORMATION ON THESE TIRES AND OTHER ACCIDENTS IF POSSIBLE. 4 MONTH OLD BABY DIED AND MOTHER LEFT WITH BROKEN NECK, VEHICLE ROLLED OVER AND THAT IS POSSIBLY DUE TO A DEFECT ALSO. THE MISSISSIPPI HIGHWAY PATROL INVESTIGATED BUT DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS A FATALITY AND DID NOT DO AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 70HK11395 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16) (DOT NUMBER: 70HK11395 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16) (DOT NUMBER: 70HK11395 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)

DRIVERS SEAT MOUNT FAILED. SEAT FRAME BROKE CAUSING SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. SEAT COULD BREAK FROM MOUNT DURING AN ACCIDENT OR SUDDEN STOP.

A TREAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE SEPARATED ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE STEEL BELTS TO COME THROUGH. THERE WAS NO COMPLETE SEPARATION, MORE LIKE A TEAR. TIRE PRESSURE WAS COMPLETELY LOST. THE TIRES WERE 2 YRS OLD WITH ADEQUATE TREAD ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT CHECKED THE TIRE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )
