VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP WILL BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL REACHES THE INDICATOR LIMIT.
DURING BRAKING, THE PEDAL WILL BE LOWER THAN NORMAL AND STOPPING DISTANCES WILL BE LONGER. IF THIS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING DISTANCE IS LIMITED, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE FOR WEAR. IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF WEAR, THIS SECTION OF THE BRAKE PIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGNED BRAKE PIPE SECTION. IF THERE ARE NOT SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE BRAKE PIPE, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A SPACER CLIP TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL.

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Dec 4, 2007
I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE AND AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. GM IS TELLING ME IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURING LOCATION OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSURD. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED AND WINTER CORROSION IS POSSIBLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY WERE MANUFACTURED. HOW DOES GM KNOW WHERE THE VEHICLE WENT AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED, THEY DON'T. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSSWALK A FEW DAYS BECAUSE THE ABS CAME ON WHILE I WAS GOING VERY SLOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 MALIBU AND IT HAS 129K MILES ON IT. THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE REASON FOR THIS WAS, BUT IT NEVER SEEMED TO AFFECT MY CAR IN ANY WAY. TODAY THE CAR TURNED ON FINE TWICE, ONCE COMING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THE SECOND TIME COMING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT ON AFTER LEAVING FROM A JOB INTERVIEW, IT CRANKS AS IF IT WANTS TO TURN ON BUT DOESN'T. IT SOUNDS LIKE IF THE GAS TANK IS ON EMPTY BUT IT'S ALMOST FULL. I CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND EVEN TRIED A JUMP START AND IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. FINALLY I GOT IT TOWED HOME AND FIND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT CHEVY MALIBUS ARE FULL OF DEFECTS.(HTTP://WWW.AUTOSITE.COM/CONTENT/RESEARCH/FORUMS/INDEX.CFM/ACTION/POSTS/FID/1601) (INCLUDING MY AC THAT ONLY WORKS ON 3, 4, AND 5). MY ANTI THEFT DEVICE WON'T LET ME DRIVE MY OWN CAR, AND I ALREADY MISSED AN IMPORTANT CLASS. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE ANTI THEFT LIGHT TURNS OFF, BUT IT NEVER TURNS OFF. IT HAS BARELY STARTED WITH THIS PROBLEM TODAY, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, MORE LIKE HORROR STORIES, I'M SCARED OF MY MALIBU AND I DON'T TRUST IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL GET WORSE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THE DEALER TO FIX AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS BUT WON'T ADMIT TO; THERE NEEDS TO BE A SERIOUS RECALL. *TR

2000 TAHOE: REAR HATCH WINDOW HINGE BROKE. IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC...PRETTY SHODDY FOR A 4W DRIVE VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY OPENED THAT WINDOW 5-6 TIMES SINCE 2002, SO IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT ABUSED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW...WOULD LIKE GM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE $600 WINDOW PLUS HINGES (THE CHEVY DEALER QUOTED $1300.) *JB

VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AT INTERSECTION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ABS SOUNDED AS IF IT HAD ENGAGED BUT MY WHEELS DID NOT STOP. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS COMING AND THEREFORE NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. I REVIEWED THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THAT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000 COVERS THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED TO REMOVE CORROSION FROM THE SPEED SENSORS AND APPLY RUST INHIBITOR. I CONTACTED APPLE CHEVROLET IN YORK, PA AND ON 2/28/07, THEY FOUND THE THAT MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS HAD EXCESSIVE RUST BUILD UP. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WAS CHARGED $241.65 FOR THESE REPAIRS AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. HOW CAN OER 1.3 MILLION VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 BE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED? *JB

MID YEAR IN 2006 THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IN MY TAHOE STARTED TO SLIDE ON ITS TRACK ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES, BACK AND FORTH. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 4 INCHES. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE SEAT SLIDES BACK WITH A BANG, AND IF YOU COME TO A QUICK STOP, THE SEATS SLING YOU FORWARD. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE. I EXPLAINED TO THE I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THEY ASSEMBLED THE SEATS. IF IT HAPPENED IN JUST ONE SEAT I WOULD AGREE, IT IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT THIS HAS GRADUALLY HAPPENED TO BOTH SEATS. AND THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THIS IS A DEFECT, AND THEREFORE CHEVROLET IS DENYING THIS IS A DEFECT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE. RECENTLY THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HINGE IN THE LIFTGATE FAILED. THE GLUE THAT CONNECTS THE GLASS TO THE HINGE FAILED AND NOW THE REAR WINDOW IS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY ONLY THE LATCH AND THE OTHER HINGE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE GLASS WERE TO FALL OUT IN THE ROAD IT WOULD BE A MAJOR HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS HINGE HAS FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS AND WAS IN NO WAY ABUSED. I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, COX CHEVROLET IN BRADENTON, FL AND THEY INFORMED ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE COST OF A NEW ONE IS OVER $1,000. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I NOTICED OTHER POSTS ON THE INTERNET BE PERSONS WHO HAD THE SAME FAILURE AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED BY GENERAL MOTORS. PLEASE ADVISE ON ANY THING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET GM TO ADDRESS THIS PRODUCT FLAW. *NM

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE. FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS STOPPING UNDER 10 MPH DUE TO THE FAULTY ACTIVATION OF THE ABS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I BARELY AVOIDED A DANGEROUS CRASH. I CALLED ART MOEHN CHEVROLET IN JACKSON, MICHIGAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE POSSIBLE RECALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ART MOEHN CHEVROLET IN JACKSON, MICHIGAN ON APRIL 7, 2006. THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED AT A COST TO ME OF $241.60. I DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ABS PROBLEM AND LOCATED A RECALL FOR 1999-2002 GM TRUCKS (SEE NHSTA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V37900). I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE BRAKE WORK DONE ON MY 2000 TAHOE IS THE EXACT REPAIR SENT TO CHEVY DEALERS BY GM FOR THE RECALLED VEHICLES (SEE GM BULLETIN # 05068B). I AM SEEKING FULL REIMBURSEMENT OF MY COSTS FOR REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE. THANK YOU. *NM

Air bags, Mar 4, 2006
I TOOK MY TRUCK TO ISLAND CHEVROLET FOR THE ANTILOCK RECALL AND I MENTIONED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS ON THE CHEVROLET TAHOE 2000 BECAUSE MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I WAS TOLD MY 2000 TAHOE IS NOT ON THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS THE MODEL MADE LATER IN THE YEAR. BUT WHEN THEY PUT THE TRUCK ON THE DIAGNOSTIC THEY FOUND IT HAD RIGHT & LEFT SIDE DEPLOYMENT LOOP RESISTANCE LOW. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $800.00 AND SINCE I HAD TO FIX MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ALSO I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE LATER MODELS OF 2000 ALSO. I KNOW OF A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE LATER 2000 MODEL. *NM
