Some body take my truck like a robery. Im have a police report bit they don't find it.
The exhaust manifolds on my truck are severely rusted and bolts have broken off causing the dreaded po430 code and now the truck won't pass state emissions testing until I spend over $1,000 correcting general motors' defect. So many trucks were effected and my cousin's 2005 tahoe had the same exact issue. Both trucks are well maintained and mine is normally parked in my garage and cleaned frequently. Don't let me get started on the rust under the rear doors. Great trucks but gm really dropped the ball with quality of these parts. It's unfair to the customer to have to correct these issues despite taking good care of their vehicles. I own 5 vehicles and none of them have this issue, even my 22 year old 96 impala ss.
While driving the vehicle it appears the vehicle speed is not responding to the accelerator. You push down on the accelerator to increase speed while in traffic and nothing happens. This has occurred at least 3 times since we purchased the vehicle on June 17 of this year. Dealer states there are no codes or history of codes in the vehicles computer. Left it there for a day but they could not reproduce the problem. What now.
The state of California ordered installation of the interlock ignition device (iid) to prevent the vehicle from being operated by intoxicated drivers. The device malfunctioned, causing the vehicle not to start or stall while driving. Manufactured by guardian interlock, model 3050, serial# 13429 & 18832, transponder 4. 4e.
