| 2001 | PARKING BRAKE | I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THE REAR SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONING BUT THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL DANGEROUS ISSUES..THE THROTTLE STICKS AND HAPPENED WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE DRIVING 55 MPH..NOT FUN! THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DETRIMENTAL. THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AND HAS BEEN "FIXED" 2 TIMES..IT STILL DOES NOT WORK AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION...THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE FOR SHORT STOPS AND THE VEHICLE SLIDES!! THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE TO ME. GM MUST HAVE MANY LAWSUITS IN THE WORKS AND MANY TO COME. *NM |
| 2003 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TAHOE THAT THE PASSENGER 'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY ON 1/27/07, A WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF A WARRANTY ISSUE. THE CONTACT COMPLAINED SINCE THIS WAS A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING SHAFT VIBRATED WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR A RIGHT TURN, THE DEALER REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE. THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, 7 MONTHS LATER THE VIBRATION RESTARTED. THE DEALER LUBRICATED THE PARTS AND IT WORKED AGAIN. THE CONTACT WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT SINCE THIS PROBLEM WAS STILL UNRESOLVED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLEWAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,796 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.*AK |
