2002 CHEVY TAHOE LT 4WD, CURRENT MILEAGE IS 85K. FOR THE LAST 25K MILES THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED A NOISY SHUDDERING SOUND WITH A SLIGHT VIBRATION FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT.

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY TAHOE AND ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO(DECEMBER 2010) MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO START FAILING TO READ PROPER FUEL LEVELS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR A COUPLE MORE WEEKS UNTIL FINALLY THE FUEL GAUGE SIMPLY WOULDN'T MAKE A READING AT ALL. I STAYED OPTIMISTIC THAT THE SITUATION WOULD CORRECT ITSELF BUT NO SUCH CORRECTION AROSE. I TRIED USING FUEL INJECTION CLEANERS TO POSSIBLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT AGAIN NOTHING HELPED. FOR THE PAST COUPLE DAYS I HAVE BEEN READING NUMEROUS FORUMS AND ARTICLES ON THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN CHEVY VEHICLES RANGING FROM 2000 TO AS RECENT AS 08 MODELS. I'M WRITING THIS IN HOPES THAT A RECALL CAN OCCUR THAT WILL HELP SOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM. CHEVY NEEDS TO BE LIABLE FOR THE FRAUDULENT MANUFACTURING OF VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. INSTEAD OF LETTING AMERICANS SHOVEL OUT 800 PLUS DOLLARS IN ISSUES THAT SHOULDN'T BE OCCURRING SO EARLY IN A VEHICLES LIFE. I HAVE YET TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IN HOPES THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL FORCE CHEVY INTO RECALLING THE VEHICLES FOR PROPER REPAIRS. *KB

I HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2002 TAHOE AFTER DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING, COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, AND OR DEADLY. BRAKE LINES COMPLETELY RUSTED UNDER DRIVERS DOOR ALONG FRAME..LIKE HUNDREDS, AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SAME EXACT PROBLEM, SAME LOCATION. TO REPLACE ALL OF MY BRAKE LINES EXCEPT THE REAR LINES, WHICH WERE REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, IT COST ME $800. RECALL NEEDED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR KILLED. *TR

WE HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF OUR DOOR HANDLES. THE BLACK PLASTIC AND HARDWARE JUST ROTS AWAY. EVENTUALLY YOU PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE PIECE BREAKS OFF OF THE CAR AND HANGS BY ONE REMAINING FIXTURE. MONEY PIT FOR SURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME & WHILE ACCELERATING I NOTICED MY TRUCK BEGIN TO REV & NO LONGER ACCELERATE,MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR & PUT IT BACK ON IT, I WAS IN AN 50 MPH AREA, & MY TRUCK JUST CONTINUED TO REV. I STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. I REPEATED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THEN I PICKED UP SPEED BUT ON TO ABOUT 35 MPH. MY TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR. I MADE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I ORDER A NEW TRANSMISSION OFF EBAY, HAD IT INSTALLED & GOT MY TRUCK BACK IN ABOUT 3WKS. IN JUNE 2012 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED, MY TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR & MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION & IN JULY 2013 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I DID NOT GO GET ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. I STARTED ASKING AROUND & FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TAHOE TRANSMISSIONS. I THEN TRIED PUTTING LUCAS STOP SLIP & THAT DID NOTHING TO HELP THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I HAVE PUT TOO MUCH MONEY INTO NEW FACTORY BUILT TRANSMISSIONS & THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM. *TR

2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE DRIVERS SEAT HEATER SHOCKING DRIVER AND BURNING HOLES THROUGH THE SEAT AND LEATHER. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE HEATER IS TURNED OFF OR ON. *TR

2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE EXPERIENCING UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEED. A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS HAS BEEN ISSUED. I CALLED CHEVROLET AT THE NUMBER STATED IN THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE THUS CHEVROLET WILL NOT REPAIR THE DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE. I FIND IT AN UNIMAGINABLE COINCIDENCE THAT I HAVE THE VERY SAME YEAR/MODEL VEHICLE EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS STATED IN THE RECALL YET CHEVROLET STATES THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPAIRS UNDER THE RECALL. THE GM RECALL # IS 05068, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # IS 05V379000 AND THE NHTSA ACTION # IS PE0502. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL. *TR

I WALKED INTO MY GARAGE AT NIGHT TO SEE IT FILLED WITH SMOKE, PLASTIC SMELLING AND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE 2002 TAHOE I SAW A RED GLOWING BALL AND A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM ABS BOX BY THE FUEL FILTER. I BACKED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND FAR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHEN I STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDER AND THERE WAS A BURNED BLACK SMUGE BOX . IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS TAHOE? *TR

ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON NEW BRAKES WERE PURCHASED AND VEHICLE IS NOT STOPPING IN LOW MPH EX 10 MILES PER HOUR VEHICLE STILL PROCEEDS AND BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR ? *TR

2002 CHEVY TAHOE WITH 105, 000 MILES. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND FOUND A SEVERED EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT ON THE ENGINE. THE BOLT IS FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE END OF MANIFOLD. THE BOLT IS WORN AND RUSTY ON 90% OF IT AND THE OTHER 10% IS SHINY (LIKE A NEW BREAK). CALLED DUBLIN, CA CHEVY AND WENT IN AFTER THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS. THE OFFERED TO FIX IT FOR 10% OFF THE $1000 BILL. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS THEIR DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD PAY. I CALLED GMAC AND THEY TOLD ME TO GOTO ANOTHER CHEVY DEALER IN SAN LEANDRO, CA FOR A DIAGNOSIS SINCE THE 1ST DEALERSHIP NEVER LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. THAT DEALER LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD AND IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY, $500, BUT IT COULD RUN MORE IF THERE WERE MORE BOLTS THAT BREAK OFF DURING THE REPAIR. I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND I HAVE TAKEN IMMACULATE CARE OF THIS TRUCK. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS BY LOOKING AT THE BOLT THAT THE BOLT WAS OVER TORQUED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM. IF I LET THIS CONTINUE WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM, I WILL HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM ON MY HANDS AND IT WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

UNABLE TO FOLD DOWN REAR SEAT DUE TO CABLE ISSUES.

MY 2002 CHEVY TAHOE ANTILOCK BRAKES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE KEPT GOING. I WAS GOING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THERE WAS A SCRUBBING SOUND. MY VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND I CAM TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES AND SAID THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND FOUND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL NHTSA #05V379000 BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T LISTED. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE'S HEARD OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES, 2002 CHEVY TAHOE: A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES DUE TO A LEAK IN THE BRAKE LINES DUE TO EXTENSIVE CORROSION OF THE BRAKE LINES. AN INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES REVEALED A LEAK (DEVELOPED SUDDENLY) AND THE ENTIRE SET OF BRAKE LINES ARE HEAVILY CORRODED ALONG THEIR ENTIRE LENGTH. THE ONLY REASON THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WAS THE LEAK DEVELOPED SUDDENLY BEFORE THE TRUCK WAS STARTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2002 CHEVY TAHOE, A GENTLEMAN RAN A STOP SIGN, I HIT HIM AT 39 MPH, HEAD ON IN MY TAHOE, T-BONED HIS TRUCK. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, NOR DID MY SEATBELT KEEP ME FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY HEAD KNOCKING ME OUT. GM SENT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY CAR WHICH HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM GM ON THIS INCIDENT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW THINKING IT WAS SAFE. THE ONE TIME I NEEDED MY SEATBELT TO WORK, IT FAILED. THE COMPUTER IN MY CAR SHOWED BOTH SEATBELTS WERE ON AND IN WORKING ORDER, IT SHOWED THE CRASH WAS AT 39 MPH YET THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THEY WERE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER. WHATEVER ANSWER GM GIVES ME WILL NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH UNLESS THEY ADMIT TO FAULTINESS IN THEIR EQUIPMENT. *TR

VERY UNSAFE ON FREEWAYS!! WAS TOLD BY PEPBOYS WHEN THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP THAT SOMETHING WASN'T WORKING WITH THE COMPUTER, OH REALLY, BUT OF COURSE WE WERE TOLD THAT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THAT IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY THE FUEL PUMP AND THEY DIDN'T WORK ON THE COMPUTER. COST OF REPAIR WAS PROBABLY THE DECIDING FACTOR. NOW I FEEL UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. WHAT'S UP CHEVY?, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER?? *TR
