2005 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while attempting to check the Carfax report, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 42,000 and upon checking the Carfax, it was discovered that the mileage was 260,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the passenger’s side air bag warning light was illuminated while starting the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The independent mechanic determined that the passenger’s side sensing system had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was advised by the mechanic that there was a recall associated to the failure, NHTSA Campaign Number: 06V417000 (Air Bags). The mechanic referred the contact to a dealer for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had checked the NHTSA.gov website and became aware that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

The gear shifting doesn’t seem to grab properly all the time. It will lurch into gear sometimes and sometime won’t engage in the gear indicated. The indicator lights dimmed and now don’t illuminate so you don’t know what gear you are in. It seems like this is a specific recall to my vehicle but when I enter my vin it says my car is not affected. I hope this can be looked into and repaired under the recall.

THE HATCH BACK, BOTH THE GLASS AND THE WHOLE TAIL GATE, WORKED FINE UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO AND NOW NEITHER ONE WILL OPEN. I THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT UNLOCK VIA REMOTE OR MANUAL KEY. FROM THE INTERIOR, THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE OR EMERGENCY RELEASE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFT GATE DOOR OR WINDOW. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, ESCAPING FROM A VEHICLE THAT WAS DAMAGED, OVERTURNED OR ON FIRE VIA THE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE LACK OF AN EMERGENCY REAR LIFT GATE RELEASE.
