2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO PARK THE VEHICLE AT 5 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKES HAD TO BE APPLIED AGAIN IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK), WHICH RELATES EXACTLY TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. UPDATED 03-04-08 *BF

THROTTLE STICKS FROM STOPPED POSITION. ADDITIONAL FORCE NEEDED TO DEPRESS GAS PEDAL AT TIMES CAUSING VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE MORE QUICKLY THAN NEEDED. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE AND AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. GM IS TELLING ME IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURING LOCATION OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSURD. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED AND WINTER CORROSION IS POSSIBLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY WERE MANUFACTURED. HOW DOES GM KNOW WHERE THE VEHICLE WENT AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED, THEY DON'T. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSSWALK A FEW DAYS BECAUSE THE ABS CAME ON WHILE I WAS GOING VERY SLOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END COLLAPSED. THE FRONT END WAS CUSTOMIZED WITH AN AFTERMARKET PART. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE A ARM FAILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 77,000. UPDATED 04/16/2010. *LJ UPDATED 09/14/10

VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AT INTERSECTION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ABS SOUNDED AS IF IT HAD ENGAGED BUT MY WHEELS DID NOT STOP. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS COMING AND THEREFORE NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. I REVIEWED THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THAT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000 COVERS THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED TO REMOVE CORROSION FROM THE SPEED SENSORS AND APPLY RUST INHIBITOR. I CONTACTED APPLE CHEVROLET IN YORK, PA AND ON 2/28/07, THEY FOUND THE THAT MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS HAD EXCESSIVE RUST BUILD UP. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WAS CHARGED $241.65 FOR THESE REPAIRS AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. HOW CAN OER 1.3 MILLION VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 BE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED? *JB

MID YEAR IN 2006 THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IN MY TAHOE STARTED TO SLIDE ON ITS TRACK ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES, BACK AND FORTH. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 4 INCHES. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE SEAT SLIDES BACK WITH A BANG, AND IF YOU COME TO A QUICK STOP, THE SEATS SLING YOU FORWARD. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE. I EXPLAINED TO THE I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THEY ASSEMBLED THE SEATS. IF IT HAPPENED IN JUST ONE SEAT I WOULD AGREE, IT IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT THIS HAS GRADUALLY HAPPENED TO BOTH SEATS. AND THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THIS IS A DEFECT, AND THEREFORE CHEVROLET IS DENYING THIS IS A DEFECT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

THERE IS NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. DEALERS HAVE BEEN TELLING ME THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT COVER 2000 TAHOE WITH THE OLD BODY STYLE (IE. AS INDICATED BY THE VIN). *NM

NO BRAKES AT LOW SPEED ON MY TAHOE. THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED IN 2006 FOR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ISSUES. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER HAVING A RECALL PERFORMED IN OCTOBER 2005, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ILLUMINATED. THE FRONT END SHOOK VERY BADLY. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL PULSATED. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE RECALL WAS CAMPAIGN ID #05V379000, REGARDING SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK.

2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION MECHANIC DETERMINED REAR BRAKE SHIELD WAS RUSTED ALL THE WAY OUT. *KB THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED A RECALL ON INTERNET, HOWEVER HE WAS TOLD HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB
