2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

TIGHTEN FUEL CAP WARNING STARTED COMING ON AND NOW HAVING ISSUES WITH REFUELING. GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF CONSTANTLY WHILE TRYING TO REFUEL AND GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER, TAKES FOREVER JUST TO MANAGE TO PUMP 10.00 WORTH OF GAS IN IT, VERY FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST ALONG WITH MONEY WASTED FROM FUEL SHOOTING OUT WHILE TRYING TO PUMP GAS. SEEMS LIKE GM WOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS FROM DOING RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM !!!!

THE HATCH BACK, BOTH THE GLASS AND THE WHOLE TAIL GATE, WORKED FINE UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO AND NOW NEITHER ONE WILL OPEN. I THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE KIDS THAT RIDE IN THE 3RD ROW SEATS, AND IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE OR OTHER DOORS, MY KIDS WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE BACK!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, NO AIR WOULD EMIT FROM THE VENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT BLOWER RESISTOR WITH CONNECTOR FOR THE AIR CONDITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,580.

REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT UNLOCK VIA REMOTE OR MANUAL KEY. FROM THE INTERIOR, THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE OR EMERGENCY RELEASE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFT GATE DOOR OR WINDOW. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, ESCAPING FROM A VEHICLE THAT WAS DAMAGED, OVERTURNED OR ON FIRE VIA THE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE LACK OF AN EMERGENCY REAR LIFT GATE RELEASE. IN MY CASE, I HAD SECURED MY PET IN A PET CRATE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON A 77 DEGREE DAY. I COULD NOT GET HIM OUT THE REAR ACCESS, UNABLE TO OPEN SAME BY ANY MEANS. FORTUNATELY I HAD TIME AND CRAWLED IN THE BACK, TURNED THE CRATE AROUND, FOLDED DOWN REAR SEATS, AND REMOVED 100 LB LABRADOR RETRIEVER OUT THE SECOND ROW DOOR. THERE IS A KEYED LOCK BLOW THE LIFT GATE IN THE REAR COVERED BY A PLASTIC DOOR. THE KEY TURNED AND THE WHOLE LOCK CYLINDER CAME OUT. THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON THIS LOCK IN THE DRIVER'S MANUAL OF WHAT IT DOES OR DOES NOT DO. I AM HAVING THIS REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY AT MY EXPENSE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET/GM. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A CLICKING SOUND WOULD COME FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE IGNITION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

REAR LIFT GATE WILL NOT UNLOCK AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A MANUAL RELEASE INSIDE NOR DOES IT HAVE A KEY ACCESS FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO UNLOCK IT. IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT/WRECK SOMEONE COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE WITH NO WAY OUT. SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT IN DASH DOES NOT ILLUMINATE - UNABLE TO TELL WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARDS! CHEVY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM BEING INJURED. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 7TH THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE. WE CONTACTED GM TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE INSTRUCTED THERE WERE NOT AND WE SHOULD CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. ON FEBRUARY 11TH THEY HAD US TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONDUCTED AND INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE WHY. GM RETURNED OUR VEHICLE TO US ON MARCH 3RD STATING THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS CAUSED BY SHORTED WIRES IN THE WIRING HARNESS. SINCE OUR VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MORE ISSUES THAT WERE NOT PRESENT PRIOR TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DRIVER SEAT IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION, THE REAR WINDOWS WILL NOT WORK, THE REAR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK, THE FUEL SYSTEM IS LEAKING GAS, AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD, EVEN HAVING TO BE JUMP STARTED WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO US. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS, STATING THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE AIRBAG BLEW, WHILE WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT SMOKE INSIDE THE DASH, WE BELIEVE THE AIRBAG BURNT/SHORTED THE WIRES AFTER IT DEPLOYED. GM CLAIM NUMBER [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
