2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

UNKNOWN

My Tahoe has the New Process 246GM transfer case. They have a known issue called pump rub where the pump is to close to the magnesium shell, and rubs pin holes in the shell which causes fluid to dissipate over time causing the transfer case to run dry burning it up. I've had a mechanic check it out and there was no fluid in the case, and now I have a transfer case that's burned up. I've called a transmission shop, and they told me it was a common issue. I would like for general motors to correct this issue

BRAKES NOT WORKING WHEN PRESSED CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

THE TAHOE USED AS OUR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT MEDICAL TRUCK WAS SPEWING FUEL FROM ABOVE THE GAS TANK. WE DROPPED THE TANK AND FOUND THE LINES ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK RUSTED SEVERELY TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED ON A MEDICAL RUN WITH THE ENGINE IDLING.

THE MAIN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WAS FULL OF CONDENSATE AND CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. TOOK MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC SHOP FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS MANY TAHOE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TEN MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE AS TO WHERE THE FIRE ORIGINATED. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW FACILITY. IT WAS UNKNOWN YET IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, "STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED- SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF A DRIVE-THRU AREA OF A BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V045000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).

THE REAR MAIN DEAL WENT BAD IN ALMOST ALL OF THE TRUCKS AND SUVS WITH A 4.8L OR 5.3L ENGINE IN THEM WHERE THE POUR OIL EVERYWHERE AND THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED AN EPA VIOLATION AND A FIRE HAZARD IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP SO WE CAN SAVE LIVES AND SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH AND A KID RAN OUT BETWEEN TWO CARS AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY PARTIALLY FAILED. THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY STOPPED, BUT IMMEDIATELY GOT A BRAKE FAILURE WARNING AND I HAD TO HOLD THE PEDDLE TO THE WALL TO STOP THE REMAINING MILE OR SO HOME. I GET HOME AND LOOK UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR TO INVESTIGATE A PUDDLE AND I SEE SMOKE WHERE THE RUPTURED BRAKE LINE HAD BEEN SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THOUGHT FOR SURE THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. THE BRAKES WERE JUST SERVICED, PADS AND ROTORS A YEAR OR SO AGO, SO I HAD NO CLUE THE LINES WERE BAD. JUST GOT HOME TO SEARCH ON THIS AND SEE THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS, BUT NOT MUCH HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS SINCE 2014. VERY DISTRESSING. SEEMS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS GM IS OFFERING THE REPLACEMENT LINES FOR SALE, BUT NO MENTION THAT THE DEALERS WANT $2,000 OR MORE TO INSTALL THEM?? I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS KID IS STILL ALIVE AND WE BOTH DID NOT HAVE TO ENDURE A DEATH DUE TO THE CLOSE CALL. HOWEVER, I'M EXTREMELY DISTURBED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MILLIONS OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE ROAD AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE WITH THIS TICKING TIME BOMB. EVERY SINGLE SUCH AFFECTED TRUCK WILL EVENTUALLY RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED. GM IS CLEARLY NOT ADDRESSING THIS OR EVEN WARNING PEOPLE OF THE HIDDEN PROBLEM. WHY WON'T YOU GUYS DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BIG PROBLEM? YOU'VE KNOW ABOUT THIS FOR 4 YEARS AND NOTHINGS BEEN DONE? I'M SHOCKED, THAT GM HAS BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ALL RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO A MFRS DEFECT BY USING CHEAP AND INFERIOR PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT HOLD UP IN THE NORTHERN CLIMATES. COATED BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE MANDATED!!! JUST CAME BACK FROM THE NEXT PAGE TO QUALIFY: NO CRASH - BY ABOUT 1 FOOT. NO FIRE - VERY LUCKY. NO INJURY/FATALITY - THIS VERY CLOSE! I WOULD LIKE A CALL BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000.

WHILE RUNNING THE AC WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED, THE AC TEMPERATURE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH TO WARM AIR. THIS IS WITH THE AC BUTTON PUSH ON WITH THE UNIT WORKING PROPERLY. IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WOULD RESET AND WORK AGAIN. BUT SHORTY AFTER IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN

BRAKE LINE RUSTED. LOST FLUID AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 53 YEARS. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE.

WAS AT CHEVY DEALER TO LOOK FOR A NEW CAR, WHEN LEAVING PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR GOT OUT AND FOUND FLUID ON GROUND UNDER DRIVER SIDE. DEALER EXAMINED AND FOUND BLOWN BRAKE LINE, AND SAID ALL LINES WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND NEED TO REPLACE AT A COST OF $4200. HAD THEM REPLACE ONLY ONES THAT WERE LEAKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE HEARD LOTS OF PROBLEMS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. CHEVY SHOULD BE CORRECTING THESE ISSUES.
