2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

WAS AT CHEVY DEALER TO LOOK FOR A NEW CAR, WHEN LEAVING PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR GOT OUT AND FOUND FLUID ON GROUND UNDER DRIVER SIDE. DEALER EXAMINED AND FOUND BLOWN BRAKE LINE, AND SAID ALL LINES WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND NEED TO REPLACE AT A COST OF $4200. HAD THEM REPLACE ONLY ONES THAT WERE LEAKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE HEARD LOTS OF PROBLEMS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. CHEVY SHOULD BE CORRECTING THESE ISSUES.

ON 11-11-15 I WAS SITTING AT AN ATM WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. LIMPED TO OUR MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF $580. ON 5-28-17 MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND WAS LETTING MY SON OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND YET AGAIN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. GOT THE VEHICLE HOME, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ONLY 2" OF FLUID WAS LEFT, CHECKED BRAKE LINES AND FOUND RUSTED OUT PLACES WITH FLUID LEAKING OUT. GOT THE VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC, SAME ONE THAT REPLACED THE FRONT LINES, HE ADVISED THE SAME PROBLEM, RUSTED OUT LINES. ESTIMATE TO REPLACE REAR LINES $540. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A "FLAW" WITH THAT YEAR TAHOE AND PICK UP TRUCKS. MY QUESTION IS IF THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE BRAKE LINES WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED??? IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM, NO BRAKES IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION!!!!!!! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE THIRD ROW SEAT MADE AN ABNORMAL SOUND WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LATCHES THAT LOCK THE SEAT WERE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE SEAT TO MOVE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCHES WERE FRACTURED, AND THAT THE RIGHT AND LEFT IN-HAND LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

LEAVING MY DRIVE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD LIT UP FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS THEN WENT OFF. A FEW MILES LATER DID THE SAME THING THEN ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. NEXT TIME I STARTED IT UP THE GAUGES WOULD NOT WORK ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AND THEN GAUGES WOULD START WORKING. SOMETIMES MY BATTERY WILL BE DEAD WHEN I GO OUT IN THE MORNINGS. THE DRIVER SEAT HEAT COMES ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. IF IT'S COLD OUTSIDE THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN WARMED UP FOR A WHILE. *TR
