Seat belts, rear/otherApr 22, 2005
ON CERTAIN CREW CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE 2ND ROW CENTER OCCUPANT SEAT BELT ROUTING MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO POSITION THE LAP PORTION OF THE SAFETY BELT LOW AROUND THE HIPS OF OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY SMALLER OCCUPANTS, SEATED IN THIS POSITION. APPROPRIATE USE OF A CHILD SEAT OR BOOSTER SEAT, AS RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN, DOES IMPROVE THE FIT CONDITION FOR THIS USER GROUP. IN ADDITION TO INSTRUCTIONS ON PROPER INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD RESTRAINT (WITH CHILD SEATS OR BOOSTERS), SPECIAL VERBIAGE FOR RESTRAINING OLDER CHILD IS INCLUDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. ALSO, THE SUGGESTED SEAT BELT FIT/ROUTING FOR ADULTS, IRRESPECTIVE OF SEATING POSITION, IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TEXT.
A LAP PORTION OF THE SEAT BELT ROUTING THAT IS NOT LOW AND SNUG ON THE HIPS CAN ALLOW THE LAP BELT TO RIDE UP ON AN OCCUPANT'S ABDOMEN INSTEAD OF FITTING LOW AROUND THEIR HIPBONES, AND THEREFORE, CAN EXPOSE THEM TO MORE RISK OF ABDOMINAL AND INTERNAL ORGAN INJURY.
DEALERS WILL CUT OPEN THE GUIDE LOOP, REMOVE A PORTION OF THE LOOP, AND THEN THE REMAINING TWO SIDES SHOULD BE FOLDED OVER AND SECURED WITH A RETAINER FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 21, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, OR HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.

CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND PASSENGER VANS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, ?PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.? SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST HOUSING RELIEF VALVE BORE.
CONSEQUENTLY, THE VALVE O-RING SEAL MAY FRACTURE. STEERING EFFORTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY INCREASED WHILE BRAKING OR PARKING. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A FRACTURED SEAL MAY REQUIRE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THE SAME VEHICLE DECELERATION RATE AS PRIOR TO THE SEAT FRACTURE.
DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339; CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463; OR HUMMER AT 1-866-486-6376.

AS A RESULT, THE DOOR STRENGTH MAY BE DEGRADED DURING A SIDE IMPACT VEHICLE CRASH.

IN NOV OF 2008 WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IPC AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AFTER WE GOT THE TAHOE BACK WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES JERKY AND IF WE USE THE CRUISE THE TAHOE SPEEDS UP AND WE HAVE TO TURN CRUISE OFF TO STOP IT FROM SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL. ALSO WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES JERKY THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM ALARM GOES OFF AFTER IT MAKES IT HARD TO STOP. (WE HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE SEVERAL TIMES.)RECENTLY 12-2009 OUR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TAHOE TO OUR DEALER AND REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE THESE PROBLEMS GO AWAY. PLEASE HELP AS WE HAVE THREE KIDS AND ONE ON THE WAY. THE PARTS WE HAVE REPLACED ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT BRAKE SENSOR AND HUB, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER, EBC ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND THE FUEL FILTER. WHICH IS EVERYTHING RECOMMENDED BY OUR DEALER. I JUST WANT IT FIXED!!!! *TR

I BOUGHT A 2003 TAHOE WITH 69,000 MILES ON IT AND ABOUT 20,000 MILES LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING IT IS HARD TO DRIVE THIS WAY. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS ON OTHER G.M VEHICLES AND WAS COVERED IF THE MILES WERE UNDER 70,000 MILES. NOW I AM STRUCK WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. IF THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RECALL THEN MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, BUT NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT IT. *TR

2003 TAHOE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INACCURATE VALUE. DO NOT KNOW AT WHAT SPEED VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY COMMON DENOMINATOR AS TO WHAT SPEED IT DISPLAYS AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS ACCURATE OR NOT. THIS IS SCARY! INTERNET SEARCH REPORTS A ON GOING PROBLEM.

THE OIL PRESSURE IS ALSO AFFECTED BY DROPPING TO ALMOST ZERO. I HAVE HEARD THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2005 SILVERADO WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS HOWEVER I HAVE NOT FOUND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2003 CHEVY TAHOE DEFECTIVE - WHILE DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AT 55MPH SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO OVER 100 MPH. THIS CAUGHT ME OFF-GUARD AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, ALMOST GETTING REAR-ENDED IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, IN MY OPINION!! NOW WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED SPEEDOMETER READING 50 MPH. READING ON THE WEB IT IS EVIDENT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $800 TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM! *TR

POPPING NOISE FROM UNDER HOOD, MAINLY WHEN TURNING LEFT (HAS NOW STARTED WHEN TURNING RIGHT). ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. IT CAN ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. FEELS VERY UNSTABLE, LIKE FRONT-END COULD FALL APART AT ANY MINUTE. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2001 (NHTSA ITEM #10009991, #10010873, #10000950, #10004991, #1004239, #10005172, #10004723, AND FINALLY THEIR "FIX" #10025148) . HOWEVER, THEY ACT AS THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE (EDMUNDS.COM, YAHOO...JUST SEARCH FOR I-SHAFT ASSEMBLY) AND THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS GM/CHEVY/CADILLAC VEHICLES AND GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THIS SITUATION IS AS-MUCH, IF NOT WORSE THAN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/DASHBOARD PANEL PROBLEMS, THAT GM HAS RECALLED. PLEASE, HELP THE MASSES WHO HAVE BEEN SOLD THIS DEFECT. BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE Z71 AND RECENTLY EXPERIENCED SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS. WHEN SLOWING DOWN, BELOW 10MPH, THE ABS KICKS IN RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS ON CLEAN, DRY PAVEMENT. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING THING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE, ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WHO IS DRIVING AROUND TWO SMALL CHILDREN. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OLDER VEHICLES THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO AND I WONDER WHY THE RECALL DOESN'T PERTAIN TO 2003 AND NEWER VEHICLES. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS FURTHER AND MAKE SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I DO SEE A BULLETIN POSTED BY CHEVROLET SO APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING TO HOUSTON THIS PAST WEEKEND, WHEN WE LOOKED DOWN AT THE SPEEDOMETER TO SEE THAT WE WERE TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 120 MPH. SINCE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WAS PASSING US QUITE EASILY, WE WERE ASSURED THAT WE WERE NOT, IN FACT, TRAVELING 120 MPH. WHEN WE PARKED THE CAR, WE WERE STILL TRAVELING AT 120 MPH. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR PRODUCT, BUT HAS NOT DONE A FULL SCALE RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY HAVE A 7 YEAR/70,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION. THE ISSUE WITH THAT IS THAT WE PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH MORE THAN 70K MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWINGLY SOLD US A VEHICLE THAT HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS INACCURATE AND ERRATIC READINGS (70 MPH AT COMPLETE STOP; 120 MPH WITH MOVEMENT, SOMETIMES 0 MPH WITH DRIVING). THIS OCCURS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, INTERMITTENTLY, BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME DUE TO EXPENSE QUOTED BY DEALERSHIP. ALSO NOTED ARE INACCURATE OIL PRESSURE READINGS (PEGGED PRESSURE READINGS IN HIGH ZONE). IT IS NOT RELIABLY AFFECTED BY STOPPING/RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. *TR
