3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2009

I purchased my 1999 chevy Tahoe in 2004 with 87,000 miles from original owner. I received all maintenance records from original owner, as well as original dealership price/option sticker. I noticed once over 100,000 miles there was an electrical malfunction or problem, like a power surge anytime the power window buttons are depressed and when I accelerate, there is a surge and when truck slows down or is in park, there is n surge. There is sudden energy! there is also a problem with the dashboard/radio and switch buttons below lights working. They have failed! electrical problems can cause fires and I have noticed it is not my Tahoe only with the same existing electrical problems, as I have been looking for a second vehicle, as I have my kids both of driving age and my 1999 Tahoe LS is my only vehicle. I feel safe on the road in my Tahoe. I love the four wheel drive option, as I live in minnesota and I could not live without it over the winter months! I am also very proud to point out, my Tahoe has 343,000+ miles on it and still going strong!!!! I can not afford a new Tahoe, as I am on a fixed disability income now, so I am shopping for a 1999 or newer at a reasonable price. I am satisfied with all the years I have driven mine and hope to get many more years out of it. People are amazed when I tell them how many miles are actual miles on my Tahoe. I am amazed, as well. :) [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
