1998 Chevrolet Tahoe

THE BRAKE FAILURES ARE WELL KNOWN BY ALL TAHOE OWNERS. THE FAILURES FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ASSEMBLY, BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE ALL RELATED TO POOR QUALITY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY REASONABLE SERVICE LIFE. JUNK BY ANY QUALITY STANDARDS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT NELDA STEVENSON CHEVROLET ACKNOLWDGED THESE COMPONENTS HAVE HIGH FAILURE RATES, BUT THEY GET PAID TO CORRECT THEM. THE COOLANTCONNECTOR IS AN EXTEMEMLY POOR DESIGN. DESPITE THREADING INTO THE INTAKE, IT IS MADE OF A POOR QUALITY MATERIAL THAT BREAKS OFF AT THE ENTRY TO THE MANIFOLD REQUIRING REMOVAL OF THE MANIFOLD TO REMOVE THE BROKEN THREADS RESULTING IN A $400 BILL TO REPLACE A $12.95 PART. AGAIN PATHETIC DESIGN AND CHOICE OF MATERIALS TO SAVE A COUPLE OF DOLLARS IN MANUFACTURING. AS A DESIGN ENGINEER, I FIND THESE CHOICES BY GM DESIGNERS DEPLORABLE AND WILL BUY USED BMWS FROM NOW ON. A BMW WITH 200,000 MILES HAS MORE SERVICE LIFE LEFT IN IT THAN A BRAND NEW GM PRODUCT. *AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. ECM CODE 1870 SLIPPAGE. VALVE BODY FAILS EITHER BY CONTAMINATION OR DEFECT CAUSING HIGH LINE PRESSURE CAUSING HARD 1-2GEAR SHIFTS. HARD SHIFTS CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE AND EMINANT FAILURE. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES THAT SOUND IDENTICAL. THIS CANNOT BE BY ACCIDENT. ALL TRANSMISSIONS ARE GM 4L60E.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE MOTOR WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. AFTER PULLING OVER IT WOULD THEN RESTART. THIS HAPPENED 8 TO 10 TIMES DURRING THE SAME TRIP, AND THEN IT STARTED RUNNING FINE AS IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM.DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. AFTER THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT THE SAME TIME THE FUEL TANK AT THE TOP WERE THE FUEL PUMP AND LINES ENTER STARTED LEAKING FUEL AT FILL UPS

TRUCK VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 45 MILES PER HOUR. TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR INSPECTION AND THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN DONE: CHANGE TIRES THREE TIMES, ROTATE ALL TIRES, PITMAN ARMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BRAKEPADS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, ROTERS REPLACED, SHOCKS REPLACED, ALLIGNMENT , BALANCING OF TIRES, STEERING STABALIZER DONE, WITH ALL THIS THIS TRUCK CONTINUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND WONDER IF THIS TRUCK MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. PLEASE HELP! *AK
