2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

MINNESOTA IS A "SALT" STATE. THE BEARING/ABS SENSOR ASSEMBLY HAS BECOME "BAD" ON MY 2000 TAHOE CAUSING UNWANTED AND UNSAFE ABS ACTIVATION AT SLOW SPEEDS PARKING OR JUST BEFORE COMING TO A FULL STOP. THE RECALL SHOULD COVER MINNESOTA AS A STATE WITH CORROSION IMPACTS. A $35,000 VEHICLE 5 YEARS OLD, TRUCK CLASS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE CONSUMERS TO PAY $578 PER WHEEL TO CORRECT AN OBVIOUS AND UNSAFE DESIGN FLAW.*JB

DT: THE VEHICLE WILL STOP, BUT THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. MANUFACTURER'S RECALL # 05060 WAS ISSUED. THE CONSUMER COULD HEAR THE ABS KICK IN WITH EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM ON AUGUST 15, 2005. THIS USUALLY HAPPENED ON DRY PAVEMENT. CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY SAID THIS ONLY APPLIED TO THE RUST BELT STATES. *AK *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF, THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO DEACTIVATE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE AND THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK). THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE RECALL WOULD ONLY APPLY TO THE SALT BELT STATES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 133,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOMETIMES FEELS AS THOUGH IT MAY NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER FOUND RECALL 05V379000 ABOUT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE CONSUMER DID NOT LIVE IN THE STATE IN WHICH WAS AFFECTED, BUT HE FELT HE WAS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM AS NOTED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED GM AT THIS TIME. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS AT THIS TIME HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

ABS ACTIVATES AT SPEEDS UNDER 10 MPH. INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCES HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR MISS COLLISIONS.

DT: THE FAN THAT COOLS THE MOTOR HAS NO CAGE, HAD A KITTEN CRAWL INTO THE FAN WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT CUT THE KITTEN ,AND CONSUMER HAD DIFFICULTLY GETTING THE KITTEN OUT. *AK

ABS MOTOR WILL NOT STOP RUNNING. DEALERSHIP PULLED FUSE TO DEACTIVATE THE ABS SYSTEM. ABS LIGHT AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ARE NOW CONSTANTLY LIT.

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY TOHOE WHICH HAS MASSIVE CORROSION ON THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. WE BOUGHT AND USED THIS VEHICLE FOR COUPLE YEARS IN MINNESOTA. WE NOW RESIDE IN TEXAS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED AND IS COMMON WITH VEHICLES FROM UP NORTH. WE FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.

I HAVE A CHEVY TAHOE 2000 NEW AND MY CAR HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A GMC SERVICE STATION NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME THEY HAVE JUST CHARGED ME FOR BREAKS AND NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED, AND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. THE FUEL GAGE HAD NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN# 05V155000 CONCERNING FUEL PUMP FAILURE WAS ISSUED. THE AFOREMENTIONED SYMPTOMS WERE TYPICAL FOR FAULTY FUEL PUMP WIRING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER MADE CONTACT BY PHONE WITH BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER IN AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER'S REQUEST WAS DENIED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK (12/02/05) *SC

UPON STOPPING ON SLICK ROADS, THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN ALL DAY, EVEN AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF. HAD TO REMOVE THE MAXI FUSE TO SHUT IT OFF. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER GM TRUCKS OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THIS IS A SMALL TOWN AND 3 VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEMS IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL. *NM

WHILE LOWERING DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW A SNAP OCCURED AND THE WINDOW FELL TO THE BOTTOM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL REPAIR CENTER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A DEALER ONLY ITEM. THAT THE ENTIRE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD GONE THROUGH HUNDREDS! I VEIWED THE BROKEN ITEM AND THE STEEL CABLE SEEMED TO BE A DESIGN FLAW, ALLOWING WATER TO SETTLE AT CABLE ENTRANCE. WHY REPLACE THE ENTIRE REGULATOR $235.91?*AK

CONSUMER STATES BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. BRAKE LINES TO REAR RUSTED THROUGH. REPLACED 4 LINES FROM FRONT TO REAR. *BF WHILE BRAKING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LINE RUPTURED CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DURING REPAIR OF THE BRAKE LINES THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SELF ACTIVATES AND WILL NEED NEW HUBS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WITHIN DAYS THE CONSUMER OBTAINED A COPY OF THE RECALL AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY APPLICABLE IN CANADA. *NM

TIRES ROUTINELY REQUIRE AIR TO BE ADDED. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND CONTINUE TO REQUIRE AIR BE ADDED EVERY FEW WEEKS. HAVE ASKED THE DEALER REGARDING THIS AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES RELATED TO RIM LEAKS OR REASONS FOR THIS. HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE ON OTHER TAHOES. *NM

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HIT A PATCH OF ICE WHICH SENT THE VEHICLE SLIDING, AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND CONSUMER WAS INJURED. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND MANUFACTURER. *AK CONSUMER FEELS THAT MUCH OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING MIGHT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE PROTECTION OF THE 4 AIR BAGS IN THIS TAHOE-NONE OF WHICH DEPLOYED UPON AN IMPACT THAT CRUSHED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. JAMMED TH EFRONT PASENGER DOOR WHICH CONSUMER COULD NOT OPEN , AND BENT THE CAR'S FRAME BEYOND REPAIR. *BF

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, MY CHEVY TAHOE'S ANTI LOCK BRAKES RANDOMLY KICK ON AND KEEP MY VEHICLE FROM COMING TO A REGULAR STOP, MY BRAKING DISTANCE IS VARIED. MY CAR WAS EXTENDED INTO INTERSECTIONS NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE THE ABS KICKED ON. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS IN PARKING LOTS WITH OTHER CARS BECAUSE THEY WILL KICK ON.

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE FRONT SEATS WOULD SLIDE ON THE RAIL. THE PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN TO DO THIS FIRST AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. BOTH SEATS ARE NOW SLIDING ABOUT 5 INCHES BACK AND FORTH. THE GM MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAYBE THEY COULD WORK WITH HIM TO GET IT CORRECTED IF IT WAS A DEFECT. *JB

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO ISLAND CHEVROLET FOR THE ANTILOCK RECALL AND I MENTIONED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS ON THE CHEVROLET TAHOE 2000 BECAUSE MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I WAS TOLD MY 2000 TAHOE IS NOT ON THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS THE MODEL MADE LATER IN THE YEAR. BUT WHEN THEY PUT THE TRUCK ON THE DIAGNOSTIC THEY FOUND IT HAD RIGHT & LEFT SIDE DEPLOYMENT LOOP RESISTANCE LOW. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $800.00 AND SINCE I HAD TO FIX MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ALSO I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE LATER MODELS OF 2000 ALSO. I KNOW OF A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE LATER 2000 MODEL. *NM
