2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TAHOE Z56. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE PLUGS AND WIRES, I NOTICED THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK AROUND THE # 1 & # 8 MANIFOLD AREAS - AS EVIDENT BY THE BLACKISH COLORING ON RIGHT UNDER THE VALVE COVER IN THESE TWO AREAS. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE # 8 BOLT HAD ALREADY BROKEN OFF (DETACHED HEAD), AND THE #1 BOLT WAS SPINNING/STRIPPED, JUST READY TO FALL OFF. I AM REPORTING THIS SINCE IT APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ***** AS I STATED, THIS IS A 2006 TAHOE WITH ONLY 59,082 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ******* *TR

TAILGATE OR BACK GLASS CANNOT BE OPENED. THEY ARE LOCKED, FUSE GOOD. SLIGHT CLICK CAN BE HEARD WHEN TRY TO OPEN, BUT DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS AN ELECTRIC LOCK AND NO WAY TO OPEN MANUALLY. WHEN SEARCH ON THE INTERNET HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS COULD BE FOUND ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM IN THE DESIGN. HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO 2007 HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM . I HAVE SEEN RECALLS EVEN FOR CHILD SAFETY STICKER. I WONDER WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR LIFTGATE FAILED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN AFTER 68,000 MILES, DEALER WANTED 500.00 TO FIX.. WHAT A RIP OFF ALSO A VERY SAFETY CONCERN FOR CHILDREN & PETS...ALSO LOADING ISSUES..IN SHORT TERMS SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A (T O Y O T A ) THEY ARE BUILT TO LAST ..END OF STORY.. CHEVY SUCKS. *TR

2006 CHEVY TAHOE, REAR HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK/OPEN. WINDOW WILL NOT OPEN AS WELL, KEYLESS ENTRY SO I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS. SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THE LATCH FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE OF VEHICLE. JUST SPENT $400 ON A FAULTY ACCELERATION SENSOR THAT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST POWER TO VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED. *KB

2006 CHEVY TAHOE EXIT DOOR FOR 3RD ROW SEATING HAS NO MANUAL EMERGENCY EXIT AND ALSO HAS BECOME LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. REPAIR EST. AT 600+ DOLLARS BUT STILL WILL NOT PROVIDE EMERGENCY MANUAL EXIT THROUGH THIS LIFTGATE OR WINDOW BEHIND 3RD ROW SEAT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN OR DISABLED NEEDING OUT INCASE OF EMERGENCY. ADA SHOULD REVIEW THIS PROBLEM FOR DISABLED NEEDING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESS THROUGH THIS DOOR! *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE W/ 3RD ROW SEATING. THE LIFTGATE LOCK FAILED WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING OUT. THIS IS VERY FEARFUL FOR OUR FAMILY FOR WHICH WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WHO MAY BECOME TRAPPED AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE THIS VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I READ 11 COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME MATTER. CHEVROLET ARE AWARE THAT THESE COMPLAINTS ARE OUT THERE AND KNOW THE RISK IN WHICH ARE INVOLVED. WHY SHOULD THEY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A DEATH OCCURS DUE TO A DEFECT ON THEIR END. I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL CAN LOOK INTO THIS. NOT TO MENTION THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A KEY ENTRY TO UNLOCK IT AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO RECALLING WHAT OTHERS HAVE IDENTIFIED AS THE ACTUATOR. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOWS AND REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE REAR LIFT GATE AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE LOCAL MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER LOCK ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE POWER LOCK ACTUATOR.

2006 CHEVY TAHOE, 63,000 MILES, REAR LIFTGATE STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT/EMERGENCY YOU CAN NOT EXIT FROM THE REAR SERIOUSLY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL TIME TO EXIT VEHICLE. FROM ALL THE BLOG POSTS ETC... THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM ITSELF. THE RIGHT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO IDENTIFY CORRECTION AND REPLACE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED-ONE DEATH WOULD BE ONE TOO MANY. *TR
