| 1999 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON DRY PAVEMENT AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THROUGH RESEARCH, HE DISCOVERED A RECALL ON THE 2000 MODELS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). THE RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO SOME 1999 MODELS; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 166,000. UPDATED 07/08/08. *BF |
| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS OUR SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 CHEVY TAHOE, HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING INCORRECT SPEEDS. SOME DAYS IT WOULD SAY WE WERE DOING 120 MPH WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN WE WERE IN PARK. SOME DAYS THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SAY 0 ALL THE TIME. IN THE SUMMER OF 2007 IN TOTAL STOPPED WORKING, IT DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. SINCE WE NEVER KNOW WHAT SPEED WE ARE DRIVING, WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CHEVY FEELS IT IS NOT AND WILL ONLY REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART IN VEHICLES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 70,000. OURS HAS MORE THAN THIS MILEAGE ON IT SO THEY SAID THEY DON'T CARE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHEVY'S OTHER THAN TAHOES AND ARE YOUNGER THAT OUR VEHICLE AND THEIR SPEEDOMETERS DO NOT WORK EITHER. THAT IS TOO MANY PEOPLE ON THE ROADS THAT HAVE FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY UNDER THERE RULES. *TR |
