1995 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT MOUNTING IS UNSAFE. THE SEAT IS MOUNTED TO A WEAK CROSS BRACE INSTEAD OF THE MAIN SEAT FRAME RAILS. THIS DESIGN IS DOOMED TO REPEATED FAILURES AND IS UNSAFE. IF THE SEAT WAS MOUNTED BY THE MAIN FRAME RAILS THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS. CHEVROLET SHOULD REDESIGN THE SLIDE BRACKET TO MOUNT TO THE PROPER MOUNTING POINTS.*AK

WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION THE FOOT BRAKE FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL RESULTING IN VEHICLE COLLISION, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN HIM CAUSING HIS HEAD TO STRIKE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHILED KNOCKING HIM UNCONSIOUS. NLM

THE SEAT FRAME BROKE WHEN I CAME TO A NORMAL STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DIVER CHEV FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE SEAT FRAME WITH THE PART IN STOCK. THE SEAT NOW IS JAMMED AGAINST THE CONSOLE. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY PART AVAILABLE AND THAT HE HAD NO SOLUTION. I EXPLAINED THAT THE POWER SEAT WAS UNDER CONSTANT STRESS AND IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IS I WEERE INVILVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS IT COULD BREAK FREE AS IT WAS BASICLY PUSHED OUT OF NORMAL ALIGNMENT. INADDITION THE POWER SEAT MOTOR STRUGGLES TO MOVE THE SEAT WHICH WILL WEAR IT OUT NOT TO MEMTION THAT THE SEAT BOTTOM IS JAMMED AGAIST THE CONSOLE AND IT WILL WEAR THE LEATHER OUT. I CALLED CHEV OWNER ASSISTANCE 1-800-222-1020 AND THEY AGREED THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD AHVE NEVER OCCURED BUT AFTER CALLING THE DEALER SAID THER WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AUTO LINE AND THEY SENT ME BACK A LETTER AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT PROGRESS THE COMPLAINT. I AM LEFT PAYING $ 268.00 FOR A FAULTY REPAIR WHICH I BELIVE HAS NOW RESULTED IN A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION THE WEAR ISSUES ON THE LEATHER SEAT AND POWER SEAT MOTOR. *AK

WHILE TRAVLING DRIVER WAS ADJUSTING SEAT, AND SEATBACK WENT ALL THE WAY BACK. DRIVER STOPPED VEHICLE, AND ADJUSTED PROPERLY AND RESUMED TRAVELING TO DESTINATION. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER. NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED.*AK

ANTI-LOCK INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED; ERRATIC BRAKING BEHAVIOR. DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED ABS MODULATOR ASSEMBLY. ALL REPAIR COSTS WERE BORNE BY THE OWNER; DETERMINED TO BE A NON-SAFETY REPAIR. (?).

IN NOV 1998, THE SAME INSTANCE OCCURED IN AS THE BATTERY + CABLES CRACKED THE SIDE MOUNT BATTERY CABLE ATTACHMENT. THIS CAUSES ACID LEAKAGE (UNDETECTED) TO LEECH INTO BOTH CABLES, WITH EVENTUAL CABLE FAILURE, POSSIBLE TOTAL POWER LOSS. IN MY 1ST REPORT (ODI # 724340) I PAID $405.95 TO THE DEALER + TOWING CHARGES TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THIS TIME I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY WITH BOTH SIDE AND TOP MOUNT POSTS, 2 NEW CABLE ASSY'S, AND ATTACHED THE STARTER + CABLE TO THE SIDE MT, AND THE POWER CONTROL + CABLE TO THE TOP MOUNT TO ELIMINATE THE WEIGHT/PRESSURE ON THE SMALL SIDE MT 3/8" BOLT. THE WEIGHT OF BOTH CABLES ON A SINGLE SIDE MT POST IS EXCESSIVE, AND WITH VEHICLE VIBRATION DURING DRIVING THIS INCIDENT WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE HOPEFULLY ELIMINATED THIS ISSUE BY SPLITTING THE CABLE MT LOCATIONS. HOPEFULLY CHEVROLET WILL RECALL THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM COSTING CONSUMERS ALLOT OF CASH. AND THE KICKER, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A STANDARD OR EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE, WITH RESULTANT CABLE FAILURE IS NOT COVERED. FEEDBACK REQUESTED IF POSSIBLE.

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SEAT FRAME ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE, CAUSING SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED ABOUT THE SEAT. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE RESEARCHING INFO. ON THE WEB I NOTICED THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING BATTERIES. AFTER MY TAHOE DIDN'T START I FOUND THE OEM BATTERY WAS LEAKING FROM + TERMINAL. THIS OCCURED SOME TIME AGO AND THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR SERVICE ONE MONTH PRIOR SO I THOUGHT THE MECHANICS HAD OVER TIGHTENED IT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND + CABLE MYSELF; SO FAR SO GOOD. ON TO MY CHEIF COMPLAINT; APPROXIMATLY ONE WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING I FELT A SNAP IN MY SEAT. I WROTE IT OFF AS A SPRING UNTIL I STOPPED, SUDDENLY MY DRIVERS SEAT HAD BECOME A ROCKING CHAIR. UPON RETURNING HOME I FOUND THAT THE SEAT WAS SECURED TO THE PEDASTAL VIA LESS THAN 1/8" OF METAL. IT SEEMS GM IN ITS QUEST TO SAVE A BUCK NOT SO CLEVERLY FIGURED THAT THE STRESS IN NORMAL OPERATION ON A POWER SEAT IS NOT AS MUCH OF THAT IN A MANUAL SEAT. MY PROBLEM IS I PAYED MORE FOR A SEAT THAT POTENTIALLY PUTS MY FAMILY AND COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE IN LIFE THREATINING DANGER. WHAT GOOD IS A SAFETY BELT ON A SEAT THAT WILL NOT STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR VEHICLE IN A CRASH. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT THE LATTER. I HAVE A PROBLEM BELEIVING THAT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO EGINEERED THIS MESS CAN GET AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION MOTOR TO RUN. CURRENTLY I AM AWAITING MY LOCAL GM SERVICE SHOP TO FIT ME IN SO THEY CAN SPARE 1 MEASLY MINUTE TO LOOK AT MY SEAT; THE CLOSEST APPOINTMENT WAS A WEEK AWAY. IN MY OPINION ANYTHING LESS THAN THEIR CURRENT SEATS WOULD BE UNACCIPTABLE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I AM THE FIRST TO HAVE SEEN THIS PRO

ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN BOTH THE AC DELCO BATTERIES LEAKED ACID INTO THEIR ATTACHED POWER CABLES ALSO DAMAGING THE ALTERNATORS. NLM

THIS TIRE SEPARATED LIKE YOU PEELED IT WITH A RAZOR BLADE. I AM THE ATTORNEY AND HAVE PHOTOS AND THE TIRE IF THEY ARE NEEDED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET INFORMATION ON THESE TIRES AND OTHER ACCIDENTS IF POSSIBLE. 4 MONTH OLD BABY DIED AND MOTHER LEFT WITH BROKEN NECK, VEHICLE ROLLED OVER AND THAT IS POSSIBLY DUE TO A DEFECT ALSO. THE MISSISSIPPI HIGHWAY PATROL INVESTIGATED BUT DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS A FATALITY AND DID NOT DO AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 70HK11395 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16) (DOT NUMBER: 70HK11395 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16) (DOT NUMBER: 70HK11395 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)

DRIVERS SEAT MOUNT FAILED. SEAT FRAME BROKE CAUSING SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. SEAT COULD BREAK FROM MOUNT DURING AN ACCIDENT OR SUDDEN STOP.

A TREAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE SEPARATED ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE STEEL BELTS TO COME THROUGH. THERE WAS NO COMPLETE SEPARATION, MORE LIKE A TEAR. TIRE PRESSURE WAS COMPLETELY LOST. THE TIRES WERE 2 YRS OLD WITH ADEQUATE TREAD ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT CHECKED THE TIRE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P245/75R16 )

NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

BATTERY LEAKED, CAUSING ACID TO DESTROY PAN AND BOLT THAT HOLDS BATTERY IN PLACE AND DESTROY WIRING AND FINISH BELOW BATTERY . *AK

WHILE DRIVING WOULD EXPERIENCE HESITATION. TOOK TO DEALER & MECHANIC INDICATED THAT ACID HAD CORRODED SEVERAL OF BATTERY'S CABLE WIRES WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH AN AC DELCO. PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL BATTERY, CORRODED CABLE WIRES, HAPPENED WITH THE DELCO BATTERY. HAD TO GET DELCO BATTERY REPLACED. *AK

THIS VEHICULE HAS A DRIVERS POWER SEAT, UPON PULLING OUT ONTO THE ROAD THE SEAT BROKE LOOSE FROM ITS MOUNT. I DID HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICULE AS IT LIFTED FROM THE FRONT LEFT MOUNTING BRACKET. AFTER LOOKING AT THE SEAT I DISCOVERED THAT THE SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS BOLTED INTO THIN SHEET METAL TO THE SEAT FRAME AND NOT INTO THE SEAT FRAME RAIL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM SINCE THE PASSENGER SEAT FRAME RAILS ARE BOLTED TO THE SEAT BRACKETS AS SHOULD BE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT , BUT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE NEW SEAT FRAME AND LABOR AS A NORMAL SERVICE CALL. CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE AND FILED A REPORT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE PUT ON FILE AS A COMPLAINT FILE # C01348445, HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING IN A WEEK. I WILL BE FIXING THE SEAT MY SELF IN THE NEAR FUTURE BY TAKING 3/16 X 1 1/2 FLAT BAR AND BOLTING IT TO THE SEAT SUPPORT BRACKETS AND BOLTING THE SEAT FRAME TO THE FLAT BAR. WILL TRY TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS FIXED AND AFTER IT IS FIXED, ANYWAY THE DAMAGE PART WILL STILL BE THERE AS THE FLAT BAR WILL JUST GIVE IT STRENGTH. WHAT IT APPEARS TO LOOK LIKE IS THE VEHICULE HAS A FULL SIZE SEAT INSTALLED ON SUPPORT BRACKETS MADE FOR A S10 SIZE VEHICULE. IF MY SEAT BROKE I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OR WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME, THEY MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY AS I

DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY & WAS REPAIRED. IT HAS BROKEN 2 OR 3 TIMES SINCE AND BEEN REPAIRED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. DEALER NOW SAYS OWNER NEEDS TO BUY A NEW SEAT. WE FEEL GENERAL MOTORS IS RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BACK WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SEAT CONTINUE TO BREAK UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN A COLLISION? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN A COLLISION? THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAGS ARE USELESS IF THE SEAT BREAKS! THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A PIECE OF ALLOY METAL ON THE SEAT BRACE THAT CONTINUES TO BREAK. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SEVERAL GM VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN GOOD FAITH WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, MORE THAN ONCE. NOW THEY WANT US TO BUY A $500 SEAT TO FIX A PROBLEM WE FEEL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

THE SEAT FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS BROKEN AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE SEAT FRAME CAUSING IT TO ROCK BACK AND FOWARD. THE MOUNT IN THE FLOOR NOW HAS BEARING THAT MOVE THE SEAT TRACK THESE ARE WORN FROM ALL THE MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT.

REPORTED PROBLEM OF LEAKY BATTERY TO DEALER NOT COVERED BY WARRENTY. *AK

I RECENTLY READ OF YOUR INVESTIGATION OF TAHOE BATTERY LEAKAGE. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN POWER FAILURE. MY BRAKES FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD THAT ACID FROM THE BATTERY HAD LEAKED ONTO THE BRAKE LINE AND DESTROYED IT. ALL THE FLUID WAS LOST. THE BRAKE LINE, RIGHT FRONT HOSE AND (OF COURSE) BATTERY WERE REPLACED. SOMEONE SHOULD TELL GM THAT IT IS NOT TOO SMART TO PUT LEAKY BATTERIES OVER A BRAKE LINE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN (AND STILL IS) DEALER MAINTAINED AND SERVICED. *AK

RE: INCIDENT AE00013 - THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITANTLY, TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM WITH IT. ABOUT A MONT LATER THE TAHOE STARTED INTERMITANTLY LOSING POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES. TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALER THAT THEN DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID ON TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR. HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND BATTERY. THEY CHARGED OVER $700 TO DO SO, INCLUDING $89 LABOR JUST TO INSTALL A NEW BATTERY! ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AFTER THAT SIMILAR LOSS OF POWER WAS OCCURRING. TOOK TAHOE TO A DIFFERENT CHEV DEALER WHO THE FOUND ALTERNATOR WAS NOW BAD, WHICH I SUSPECT MAY BE RELATED TO THE ONGOING BAD BATTERY PROBLEMS.*AK

MY BATTERY FAILURE WAS SAME AS POWER FAILURE THAT NEWSPAPER SAID NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING. I STILL HAVE BATTERY WHICH WILL SHOW WHY VEHICLE LOSES POWER. I ALSO KNOW OF ONE MORE EXACT SAME FAILURE WITH A SUBURBAN WHICH PROBABLY HAS'NT BEEN REPORTED. THE CARGO DOOR HINGES ARE ANOTHER FAILURE THAT GMC REFUSES TO ADDRESS AND BLAMES IT ON POOR MAINTINENCE BY THE OWNER. *AK

THE BATTERY LEAKED BATTERY ACID. THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS CORRODDED BY THE ACID AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ACID ALSO LEAKED ONTO THE INNER FENDER AND THE BRAKE LINE. THE ACID REMOVED THE PAINT FROM THE FENDER WHICH BEGAN TO RUST. THE BRAKE LINE APPEARS CORRODDED BUT HAS NOT FAILED YET.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN#95V124000 INDICATED A WIRING DEFECT ON THE HIGH MOUNTED STOP LIGHT FOR 1995 CHECROLET TAHOE. MINE FAILS.I TOOK THE TRUCK TO JERRY HAMM CHEV. IN JACKSONVILLE ON 5/4/00 TO HAVE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FIXED FOR THE SECOND TIME,AND ASKED THEM TO ALSO REPAIR THE HIGH-LIGHT. THEY REFUSED,STATED THE RECALL WAS NOT IN THEIR DATABASE. I PROVIDED THEM WITH A PRINTED COPY OF YOUR CAMPAIGN,AND THEY STILL REFUSED. THEY ALSO MADE ME PAY FOR THE ABS MODULATOR REPAIR ON 02/22/99 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT TAHOES WERE HAVING ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURES. I DON'T THINK THE ABS MODULATOR (HEART OF THE ABS) SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE FAILED AT 47,000 MILES. THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS SPLIT THE COST OF THE PART AFTER I COMPLAINED AND INDICATED I WAS CALLING CHEVROLET

BOTH PASSABGER AND DRIVER SEAT FRAMES/TRACKS HAVE FAILED. SEATS ROCK EXCESSIVELY AND PASSANGER SEAT SOMTIMES RELEASES AND SLIDES FOWARD. 3 FRIENDS THAT HAVE CHEVY TAHOE'S HAVE HAD THEIR SEAT FRAMES REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES (ONE PERSON HAS HAD 6 NEW SEATS) I BELIEVE THAT THIS AMOUNT OF FAILURES CONSTITUTES A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND IS UNQUESTIONABLY A SAFETY HAZARD (PASSANGER SEAT SLIDING FOWARD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED ABRUPTLY, I ALMOST SENT MY GIRLFRIEND THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW). I AM ONLY 175LBS AND MY SEATS FRAMES HAVE NO REASON TO FAIL. PLEASE CHECK ANY DEALER REPAIR HISTORY FOR THIS MAKE AND YOU MAY FIND AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUT OF FAILURES. *AK
