2006 Chevrolet Tahoe

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED SHE NOTICED THAT THE REAR LATCH HAD BECOME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED HER THAT THE LATCH WOULD NEED REPLACING. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND REFERRED HER TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,039 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 165,039.

MY 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE TRACTION ACTIVATION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD NO MATTER HOW HARD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE SENSOR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS STARTED AT 20,300 MILES THE 1 ST TIME AND AT 45,256 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING WRONG NO RECALLS ON THIS ITEM. *TR

NO SPECIFIC EVENTS. WE SIMPLY REMOVED THE CUSHIONS AND PADS FROM THE GRACE NAUTILUS BOOSTER SEAT AND NOTICED THAT THE BELT WAS COMPLETELY FRAYED. THE RESTRAINING SYSTEM HARNESS (WHICH LOOK LIKE SEAT BELT MATERIAL) WAS FRAYED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH. WE WOULD NEVER HAVE NOTICED IT HAD WE NOT REMOVED THE PADDING TO WASH IT. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2006, MAKE=CHEVY, MODEL=TAHOE)

2006 TAHOE REAR LIFTGATE WILL NOT UNLOCK, NOR WILL WINDOW OPEN. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE. THERE IS NO KEY HOLE TO OPEN MANUALLY. MY GRANDCHILDREN OFTEN RIDE IN THE REAR SEATS, AND THEY WOULD BE TRAPPED IN A COLLISION. THERE IS NO INSIDE HANDLE, EITHER. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAS AN IDENTICAL MODEL IN WHICH THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED. GM SHOULD IN OUR ESTIMATION, RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE MOST EFFICIENT FIX WOULD BE TO HAVE KEY ACCESS TO UNLOCK. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR QUIT WORKING AT AROUND 67000 MILES. THERE IS NO MANUAL OR KEY OPERATED WAY TO UNLOCK THE LIFTGATE. IT FAILED IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRAP SOMEONE INSIDE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN WAS TO CRAWL INSIDE THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE, RIP THE PLASTIC TRIM PANELS OFF THAT COVER THE MECHANISM, AND THEN MOVE THE ACTUATOR BY HAND. WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT HE WANTED OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE LOCK ACTUATOR. I READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

2006 CHEVY TAHOE REAR LIFT GATE OR WINDOW WILL NOT UNLOCK TO OPEN. CAN NOT MANUALLY OPEN FROM INSIDE VEHICLE DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION. GMC WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND TONS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN ALL MAKES OF GM SUVS. IT IS IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
