2006 Chevrolet Tahoe

THE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON MY TAHOE HAS FAILED. MY REAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL. IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOCK ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR FOR SAFETY IT DOES NOT. I HAVE THE 3RD ROW SEATING AND USE IT FREQUENTLY FOR MY KIDS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY TAHOE OWNERS. THE ONLY PLACE I CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT PART IS THROUGH GM AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE PARTS. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 15 MPH OVER A ROAD BUMP WHEN THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL THUMPING FELT WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFECT WAS WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TAHOE Z56. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE PLUGS AND WIRES, I NOTICED THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK AROUND THE # 1 & # 8 MANIFOLD AREAS - AS EVIDENT BY THE BLACKISH COLORING ON RIGHT UNDER THE VALVE COVER IN THESE TWO AREAS. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE # 8 BOLT HAD ALREADY BROKEN OFF (DETACHED HEAD), AND THE #1 BOLT WAS SPINNING/STRIPPED, JUST READY TO FALL OFF. I AM REPORTING THIS SINCE IT APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ***** AS I STATED, THIS IS A 2006 TAHOE WITH ONLY 59,082 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ******* *TR

TAILGATE OR BACK GLASS CANNOT BE OPENED. THEY ARE LOCKED, FUSE GOOD. SLIGHT CLICK CAN BE HEARD WHEN TRY TO OPEN, BUT DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS AN ELECTRIC LOCK AND NO WAY TO OPEN MANUALLY. WHEN SEARCH ON THE INTERNET HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS COULD BE FOUND ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM IN THE DESIGN. HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES FROM 2005 TO 2007 HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM . I HAVE SEEN RECALLS EVEN FOR CHILD SAFETY STICKER. I WONDER WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR LIFTGATE FAILED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 CHEVY TAHOE, REAR HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK/OPEN. WINDOW WILL NOT OPEN AS WELL, KEYLESS ENTRY SO I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS. SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN THE LATCH FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE OF VEHICLE. JUST SPENT $400 ON A FAULTY ACCELERATION SENSOR THAT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST POWER TO VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED. *KB

2006 CHEVY TAHOE EXIT DOOR FOR 3RD ROW SEATING HAS NO MANUAL EMERGENCY EXIT AND ALSO HAS BECOME LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. REPAIR EST. AT 600+ DOLLARS BUT STILL WILL NOT PROVIDE EMERGENCY MANUAL EXIT THROUGH THIS LIFTGATE OR WINDOW BEHIND 3RD ROW SEAT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN OR DISABLED NEEDING OUT INCASE OF EMERGENCY. ADA SHOULD REVIEW THIS PROBLEM FOR DISABLED NEEDING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESS THROUGH THIS DOOR! *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE W/ 3RD ROW SEATING. THE LIFTGATE LOCK FAILED WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING OUT. THIS IS VERY FEARFUL FOR OUR FAMILY FOR WHICH WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WHO MAY BECOME TRAPPED AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE THIS VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I READ 11 COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME MATTER. CHEVROLET ARE AWARE THAT THESE COMPLAINTS ARE OUT THERE AND KNOW THE RISK IN WHICH ARE INVOLVED. WHY SHOULD THEY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A DEATH OCCURS DUE TO A DEFECT ON THEIR END. I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL CAN LOOK INTO THIS. NOT TO MENTION THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A KEY ENTRY TO UNLOCK IT AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO RECALLING WHAT OTHERS HAVE IDENTIFIED AS THE ACTUATOR.
