WAS DRIVING 15 MPH WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THERE WAS A VAN MAKING A STOP WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THERE WAS NOTHING PEDDLE FELT HARD DID NOT EVEN MOVE I USED BOTH OF MY FEET PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD DID NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN AS THE VAN STARTED TO DRIVE OFF I RAN IN TO TO IT . VAN HAD NO DAMAGE TO IT ONLY MY VEHICLE HAD DAMAGE TO IT
THE LAST GMC RECALL FOR VEHICLES THAT SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVEN OVER A BUMP, RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC. DID NOT INCLUDE 2000 TAHOE. I COMPLAINED CONSTANTLY FROM 2000 TO ~2012 OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT RECONSTRUCT THE COMPLAINT BY DRIVING A COUPLE OF BLOCKS, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ESSENTIALLY, THEY WERE TELLING ME THAT A PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST EVEN AFTER I FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS HAPPENING NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN GOING OVER THE SAME SMALL BUMP ON A MAJOR ROADWAY, ~3 FEET FROM A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE CAR AND MY HEART WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF FOR NUMEROUS SECONDS LEAVING ME WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STEER OR STOP. WE WERE JUST FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE NEVER HIT FROM BEHIND AS MANY TIMES THAT IT HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP STILL CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT A PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS SO HAPPY TO FINALLY GET RID OF THAT VEHICLE. *TR

6 of 6 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
