ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING WHEN OUR 99 CHEVY TAHOE LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT A FUSE WAS BLOWN (20 ECM-B FUSE). HE DID NOT KNOW WHY AND STATED THAT IT WAS UNCOMMON FOR THIS PARTICULAR FUSE TO BLOW. WE HAD THE FUSE REPLACED AND DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM UNTIL JUNE 26, 2005. AGAIN, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. I REPLACED THE 20 ECM-B FUSE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT A MILE WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ONCE AGAIN. I AGAIN REPLACED THE FUSE, TURNED OFF ALL THE POWER IN THE CAB (NO RADIO, NO A/C) AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE NEXT 5 MILES TO MY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
