CURRENT MILEAGE IS AT 116,000, ON GOING DEFECTS AS SUCH IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, I WILL HAVE TO REPAIR AGAIN WITH OUT OF POCKET COST AVERAGE FROM $125.00 TO $300.00.

THE HEATING ELEMENT LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT BURNED THROUGH THE SHIRT AND BURNED THE SKIN. THE SKIN WAS RED AND NOW THERE IS A SCAB. THIS WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE A SCAR. I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALLS IN THE DATABASE FOR THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN TAHOES (2005). THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CRANK VEHICLE, IT JUST TURNED OVER ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT FIRING. WILL FINALLY CRANK AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AFTER HAVING ISSUE LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, HE STATED THAT IGNITION WAS SENDING A FALSE SIGNAL TO CAM. SHORTLY AFTER THE ODOMETER STARTED GIVING A ERROR AND CANNOT GET THE PRESENT MILEAGE ANY LONGER. JUST LEARNED OF THIS SITE AND WAS TRYING TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. HAVE NOT YET TAKEN TO MECHANIC ON ISSUE WITH ODOMETER. *TR

MY REAR LIFTGATE AND WINDOW FOR MY 2005 CHEVY TAHOE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. I'VE READ A BLOG OF ALMOST 300 DIFFERENT OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ...WWW.CHEFSEATTLE.COM/BLOG/SITE-NEWS/SUBURBAN-REAR-LIFTGATE-WONT-UNLOCK-HOW-TO-FIX. IS CHEVROLET GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE? WHAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN THE VEHICLE AND PEOPLE NEED TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE REAR LIFTGATE DOOR? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF CHARGING OWNERS ALMOST $500.00 TO FIX THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT OUR FAULT? *TR
