The power window on the driver's side of the vehicle will stop working all of a sudden. It is not all of the time, but sometimes, when I have the window down, and I push the power switch to close or open the window it will not work. This could lead to a very serious problem, if for some reason I am unable to open the door and then the window will not go down. We live in michigan and you recently recalled vehicles because of a problem with the master power window switch causing fires in the driver's side door, which ended up melting and/or burning the door. There must be corrosion of the wiring in my vehicle that is causing the problem with my window. I know that your recall was not for the same year as my vehicle, but it sounds like the exact same problem and I don't want to end up having my car door catch on fire, especially if me or my family are in it, or if it is parked in our garage it could burn our entire house down. When we purchased this vehicle from the dealership it was brand new, and there have been no other owners.
Over the past 2 years have had multiple incidents of low speed brake failure/inadequate braking, especially on down hill grades. Parking lots. Feels like abs is malfunctioning. Multiple mechanics have worked on system, all relate it to abs malfunctions. Awaiting info on ne recall due to salt corrosion affecting abs. News media stated the entire system would have to be replaced to correct situation. Only luck has prevented an accident so far.
My anti-lock brakes kick in when applying the brakes at slow speeds. This happened last year and we had the parts replaced on one side (but don't remember the exact date). It is now happening again, and we believe the other side needs replacement. Also had the problem one time when I was just going slow in a parking lot and not applying brakes. Also having a problem with engine knock. Mechanic said it was a defect with the cyclinder.
Odometer fraud. I purchased a vechicle and later found out that the miles have been rolled back almost 100,000 miles. I would like information on how to proceede in filing both criminal and civil charges against the responsible party.
1997 Tahoe had a stick substance in the cargo area. The black rubber piece that is attached to the iron bar that the tire is mounted to has been melting and dripping into the cargo area. The substance was very strong and made the consumer feel sick while driving the vehicle.
