SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC |
MY 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS HAD AN ONGOING BRAKE PROBLEM FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. THE BRAKES SEEM TO APPLY THEMSELVES DURING NORMAL DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO SETS OF TIRES AND TWO SETS OF FRONT BRAKE PADS IN LESS THAN 50000 MILES. SOMETIMES WHEN I SMELL SOMETHING GETTING HOT WHILE DRIVING I WILL STOP AND FEEL THE FRONT WHEELS. THEY WILL BE SO HOT THAT I CANNOT TOUCH THEM. THEN THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO MAKE A PANIC STOP AND THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AND THE WHOLE CAR SHUDDERED AND SHOOK AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE I WOULD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AS I AM ON LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD A LARGE EXPENSE. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS FOR YEARS HOPING THAT GM WOULD FINALLY ISSUE A RECALL. THE TIRE DEALER THAT INSTALLED THE LAST SET OF TIRES TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES FAILED BECAUSE OF THE FRONT WHEELS GETTING SO HOT. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE PUT VERY FEW MILES ON THE CAR AND DO NOT DRIVE IT OVER 50 MPH. I STILL HAVE THE TIRES FROM THE REAR BUT THREW AWAY THE ONES FROM THE FRONT BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THEM. *TR |

POWER TRAIN |
WENT TO DINNER AND DROVE HOME WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, STOPPED AND BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD. SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE RPM'S RACED TO 4K AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN. NO DRIVE, OR 3RD. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE IT IN REVERSE AND SLIGHTLY IN 2ND BUT HAD TO STRAIN UP HILL TO GET OUR CAR AND KIDS HOME IN THE DARK IN 1ST GEAR. GOT HOME AND CHECKED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN FLUSHED 14K MILES AGO AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION NOT CAUSING THIS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS PINK, CLEAN AND MEASURED WHERE IT SHOULD ON THE DIPSTICK. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET IN WHICH PEOPLE HAD THE SAME NO FORWARD MOVEMENT IN 3 OR 4 BUT 1, 2 AND REV. OK. FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE 4L60E TRANSMISSION THAT GM HAS PRODUCED DUE TO A FAULTY FORWARD SPRAG COMPONENT THAT WAS BUILT WITH CHEAP STAMPED METAL AND THEY RELEASED A TSB PERTAINING TO AN UPDATED COMPONENT! I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH TAHOE AND HAVE MADE IT TO 113K MILES ON MY TRANSMISSION. IM BEING CHALLENGED TO PROVIDE RECORDS OF MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE BEING DONE. I HAVE WORKED FOR A CAR DEALER AS A SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 10+ YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED ALL OF MY PARTS FROM A GM DEALER TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WOULD RUN AND DRIVE PROPERLY. I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH THOUGH TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP LABOR RATE AS I HAVE ONE OF MY TECHNICIAN TO PERFORM MY SERVICES REGULARLY. I JUST PURCHASED FLUID FROM OUR GM DEALER AND HAD A COMPLETE TRANS FLUSH AT 100K MILES LIKE RECOMMENDED BY GM. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS CAUSING A TSB RELEASE WERE NOT DUE FOR TRANS SERVICE YET! IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE BUT FROM POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT GM CLAIMS ARE BUILT TO LAST! JUNK! *TR |
