2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

I A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE THAT HAS THE 3RD STEERING BALL JOINT MID SHAFT BROKEN AGAIN. I HAD THE LAST TWO REPAIRS DONE AND NEEDS IT AGAIN, THIS IS A VERY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL VEHICLES AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING, I WAS TOLD TO DEAL WITH IT. THE FACT IS THAT THIS IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER WHEN DRIVING AND IN WORRY IF THE STEERING WILL BECOME DISABLED WHEN DRIVING. THIS CONCERN NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. AT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS ONLY A DISTRACTION AND FEELS UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE AN INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS FOR THIS COMMON COMPLAINT BY MANY CHEVY TAHOE,SUB,TRUCK OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE DEFECTIVE AND DID NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

THE CHEVROLET TAHOE TAILGATE LOCK DO NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR. THE TAILGATE ACTUATOR HAS STOP FUNCTIONING ON MY CAR AND THERE NO WAY FOR ME TO OPEN THE DOOR. NOT EVEN TRYING TO OPEN WITH A KEY, BECAUSE THERE IS NO KEY OPTION TO OPEN THE DOOR ON THIS MODEL ON THE OUTSIDE TAILGATE. SINCE, CHEVROLET FAILED TO PLACE A RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE OR DEATH ISSUE. IF MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR TRYING TO ESCAPE A FIRE OR CAR SUBMERGED UNDER WATER. THERE WILL BE NO WAY FOR THEM TO ESCAPE. THIS ITEM NEED TO BE CORRECTED AND FIXED. I'M FINDING SEVERAL INCIDENTS ON THE INTERNET WERE THE LOCKING UNIT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FACTORY INSTALLED HITCH RECEIVER IS SEVERELY TWISTED. THE ISSUE HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS BUT WITH VERY INFREQUENT USE. IF THE VEHICLE HAD DONE A LOT OF HEAVY TOWING THIS UNIT WOULD HAVE FAILED FOR SURE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE FAILURE WERE TO HAVE BECOME CATASTROPHIC. I HAVE COME TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED BY THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO HAVE USED THE VEHICLE FOR ANY INTERMEDIATE TOWING. *TR

I HAVE 4 MICHELIN CROSS TERRAIN TIRES P265/70R17. THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY WITH PLENTY OF TREAD BUT THE SIDE WALLS (NOT NEAR TREAD) OF ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE DEEP LONG CRACKS (UP TO 8 INCHES IN LENGTH) I NOTICED THIS SEPT. 2010 AND THE DEALER ISN'T VERY HELPFUL AND JUST WANTS TO CHARGE ME MONEY FOR NEW TIRES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD NO LONGER SOUND WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY TIME THE HORN WOULD SOUND WAS WHEN THE BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
