• 12/19/2002· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  DEAR SIRS, I OWN A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE, THAT I BOUGHT NEW. OCACIONALLY THE ENGINE ( 5.3 L), WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. USUALLY WHEN BRAKING BUT JUST BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP.IT ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS AT OPERATING TEMP.I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE, AT IDLE, WOULD DIP DOWN TO 200- 300 RPM'S, WITH THE A/C OR DEFROSTER ON, AND THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND SHAKE THE VEHICLE. IF I TAP THE GAS PEDDLE A LITTLE, IT PRODUCES THE SAME RESULTS.I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HARBOR CHEVERLET, MICHIGAN CITY ON 2-25-02 FOR SERVICE AFTER IT HAD STALLED ON ME 8-10 TIMES SINCE NEW,AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM PER TSB #00-07-30-006, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH 33092 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 4-12-02 ,SAME COMPLAINT. THEY SAID NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME. IT IS NOW 12-18-02 AND IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS STALLED AROUND 15-20 DURING IDLE CONDITIONS.THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OTHER THAN AT IDLE. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON SATUDAY WITH 49000 MILES ON, AND OUT OF WARRANTY TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FIXING IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND PROBLEM, AND COULD YOU E-MAIL THAT TO ME? THANK YOU.

  THE TIRES WERE CHECKED AND INFLATED TO 39 PSI BEFORE LEAVING HOME FOR THE 112 MILE TRIP. ON THE RETURN TRIP AFTER APPROX. A ONE HOUR STOP THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES. THE TIRE HAS AN L SHAPED SPLIT ABOUT 12" LONG 3/4" DOWN FROM THE EDGE OF THE TREAD THEN A 90 DEGREE TURN AND AN OPENING ALL THE WAY TO THE BEAD. THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BELOW THE 12" SPLIT HAS THE CORD BOBY OF THE TIRE ATACHED TO IT. THE CORD HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD PORTION AND IS HANGING DOWN INSIDE THE TIRE. THE TREAD TO BEAD SPLIT IS COMPLETELY OPEN BOTH PLIES OF CORD SPLIT AT THE SAME PLACE. I NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES ARE SAFE. MY GM DEALER HAD TWO REPORTED FAILURES OF THIS TYPE OF TIRE ON THE SAME DAY THE OTHER PERSON SAID HIS TIRE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER AT 18,000 MILES.

• 12/06/2008· TIRES

  MY SON WAS DRIVING ON I-74 NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS AT THE POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON OUR CHEVY TAHOE DEFLATED. THE TIRE WAS A KELLY SAFARI - 265/75/16. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY THE TIRE SUDDENLY WENT FLAT, SUCH AS A ROAD HAZARD OR A NAIL IN THE TIRE. GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN I CALLED THEM. MY TIRE DEALER, TIRE DISCOUNTERS, GAVE ME $60 CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF FOUR NEW TIRES SINCE I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE REMAINING THREE TIRES. THE KELLY SUFARI TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 30 THOUSAND MILES (OVER ONE HALF THE ORIGINAL TREADWEAR WAS REMAINING AT THE TIME OF THE DEFLATION). THE TIRE WAS A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND THE OTHER THREE WERE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. MY SON WAS ABLE TO CONTROL OUR TAHOE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF I-74 WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GOODYEAR TIRE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF CONCERN EXHIBITED BY GOODYEAR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HOPE THIS DEFLATION PROBLEM GETS RECORDED AND THE NHTSA FOLLOWS UP WITH GOODYEAR. I SEE I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE A BLOW-OUT DEFLATION PROBLEM WITH A KELLY SAFARI TIRE. *TR

  MY 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS UP ON A RAMP AND I WAS CHECKING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY TRUCK. THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS ON P POSITION AND THE KEYS WERE OFF THE IGNITION. MY LOWER BODY WAS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND AS I WAS CHECKING INSIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK ON ITS OWN OFF THE RAMP. THE DRIVER DOOR PULLED DOWN THE POLE FROM THE BACK PORCH AS IT WAS BACKING UP AND SHUT BACK HITTING MY KNEE AND INJURED IT. I HAVE A BRUISED LEFT SHOULDER AND BACK PAIN. MY KNEE IS BADLY SWOLLEN. I WAS ABLE TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL OTHERWISE THE DOOR WOULD HAVE HIT THE SECOND POLE HOLDING THE BACK PORCH AND IT WOULD HAVE COLLAPSED ALTOGETHER. I INCURRED DAMAGE ON MY BACK PORCH; MY VEHICLE. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I FOUND OUT THAT THE ATC FUSE SOMEHOW BLEW WHEN I WAS UNDERNEATH: THE 4WD INDICATOR WAS NOT LIT UP AT ALL, WHILE IT WAS SET IN 2HI THE WHOLE TIME. IT HAD SOMEHOW SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN WHEN THE FUSE BLEW. WHEN I REPLACED THE FUSE THE LIGHT WENT BACK TO THE 2HI POSITION. THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS ON P THE WHOLE TIME EVEN AFTER IT ROLLED. THIS INCIDENT IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND REQUIRES A RECALL BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE EXTENSIVE INJURY OR DEATH IN CASE THIS FUSE FAILS IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY GM TO FIX THE ISSUE AND COMPENSATE FOR ALL THE DAMAGES. *TR

  BRAKE LINE CORROSION!! (ALL LINES!), ONE RUPTURED, LOST BRAKES, FORCED OFF ROAD TO STOP, EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE, ALMOST CRASHED. DRIVING HOME FROM AIRPORT AT 1AM, GETTING OFF HIGHWAY, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR.... BRAKES KICKED IN APPROX. 90-95% OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BUT TOOK FOREVER TO STOP. ANOTHER CAR WAS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND I WAS FORCED INTO THE GRASS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE CAR CAME TO FULL STOP. TOWED HOME - I REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER THINKING THAT'S WHERE THE FAILURE WAS, BUT THEN I COULDN'T BLEED REAR BRAKES AND NOTICED THE PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK AND CRAWLED UNDER TO DISCOVER THERE WAS A BRAKE LINE THAT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THIS HAPPENED AT THE ABS MODULE, WHERE 5 BRAKE LINES CONNECT, AND ALL THE LINES SHOW DANGEROUS CORROSION LEVELS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT ALSO AFFECTED A FUEL LINE RIGHT THERE TOO, (FUEL FILTER IS RIGHT THERE).... I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE NEW, AND THERE IS 1 LINE THAT LOOKS BRAND NEW (NEVER REPLACED), AND ALL OTHER LINES IN THAT AREA ARE DANGEROUSLY CORRODED. VERY ODD THAT ONE LINE LOOKS GOOD, AND ALL THE OTHER LINES ARE BAD. I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL LINES AND CORROSION AVAILABLE. *TR

  EXITING FREEWAY BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SLOW SPEED , BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK ON MY FOOT AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES. HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUMP THEM. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE (CAR OR PERSON) AHEAD OF ME. THESE WERE ABS BRAKES AND AT SLOW SPEEDS THEY FAIL. ACCORDING TO A NEW MEDIA THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE (2000 TAHOE) BECAUSE WE DO NOT LIVE IN RUST OR SALT BELT. OUR AREA DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND SNOW AND USE OF SALT ON THE ROADS TO CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THESE BRAKES. IT IS INTERESTING THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN OTHER STATES, THERE IS A RECALL BUT IN WI THERE IS NOT. APPARRENTLY LIFE AND LIMB ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS IN OTHER STATES. I WILL BE AWAITING YOUR IMMEDIATE REPLY BY PHONE, LETTER, EMAIL OR FAX. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. FLOYD J. MICHAELS. *JB

WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THEY INFORMED ME THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE STATE OF UTAH. MY ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE QUITE OFTEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSE ME TO SKID, WHICH COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAS NOT YET TO DATE.
