1997 Chevrolet Tahoe

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY SLIPS OR JERKS TO THE RIGHT. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT HAS INCREASED OVER TIME. ON JANUARY 28, 2003 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING SENSOR. THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED 22 MONTHS LATER, CAUSING DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT 35 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN LOSE OF CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE AND ACCIDENT FOLLOWED. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE WAS CONTACTED AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR INSPECTION OF SAID VEHICLE. THEY RESPONDED THAT IF NO PROBLEM WAS DETECTED DURING INPSECTION, THAT CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR. INSPECTION IS STILL PENDING.*AK

1997 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. HAVE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM AT NIGHT. LUCKILY, MADE IT TO AN EXIT RAMP OFF OF A HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS !!!!! CAN'T GET DEALERS TO REPAIR BECAUSE VIN NBR WASN'T ON THEIR LIST, BUT MODEL, YEAR AND PROBLEM SAME AS OTHERS.*AK

MY 1997 CHEVROLET TAHOE TRANSMISSION JUST FAILED. HAVE NO 2ND, 4TH OR REVERSE GEARS, ALWAYS WORKED PERFECT UNTIL NOW. AFTER A WEB SEARCH FOUND OUT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING VERY MUCH. SUN GEAR SHELL BREAKING ON 4L60E TRANSMISSIONS. THERE IS A BIG DEFECT AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEMS TO ALL THE GM OWNERS. SEEMS THEY CUT BACK A LITTLE MUCH ON QUALITY CONTROL THIS TIME AND DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE. PLEASE HELP US GET THIS PROBLEM RECALLED. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPAIRS DONE YET. KEEP HEARING $2000 TO $2500 T0 FIX THIS $40 PART. DEALERS WANT TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION WITH NEW ONE JUST OF THIS PORBLEM. DOES IT SEEM RIGHT TO YOU?*AK

WE HAVE A 1997 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT IS ESPERIENCING WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL 03V159000. WE CONTACTED RUSS DARROW CHEVROLET IN MADISON WI, AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE MILAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS 125,000 THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT RECALLS BY MANUFACTORERS WERE LIMITED BY MILEAGE. ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE EXPERIENCING A VISIABILITY PROBLEM IN RAIN AND SNOW. THEY OFFERED TO FIX IT FOR BETWEEN $50.00 AND $500.00. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT IN THIS RECALL. *AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM. THE RECALL STATED, IF CONSUMER WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM HE DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. CONSUMER WAS CURRENTLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HONOR RECALL BECAUSE THE DEADLINE DATE WAS FEBRUARY 2004.*AK
