This vehicle has been returned to a dealer (tony's Chevrolet) because it is under warranty. The vehicle engine dies when put into gear after being started. It also runs very rough and "chugs" while idling or while driving, as if it is going to die. The dealer says that it is a timing problem that will be fixed when a new software card is available (approx. Sept. 1). They claim that no damage is being done to my car. Chevrolet customer service claim that they they have no reports of this problem in Tahoes. After talking to tony's, Chevrolet c. S. Said that it is a timing problem, off by 12%, and that it will be repaired with a new software card. I am not convinced that this is not causing harm to the car. I am convinced that it is increasing my gas consumption. I feel unsafe and uncomfortable in this new (6 months old) and expensive vehicle. It is totally unreliable. I am concerned about being out at night or this winter with a vehicle that may not run.
Dealership damaged body while replacing engine, was alerted to the obvious damage and repaired.
I have had this vehicle back a three different dealerships. Two of them informed me that these conditions are normal for this vehicle and there is nothing that the can do. Wallace lundgren at least kept the vehicle for a week and apparently tried to duplicate the symptoms. These problems are occuring intermittantly and me being an automotive technician know how hard intermitant problems are but because of the safety of my family I believe that a vehicle that intermitantly has no brakes should be taken seriously. Also I would like to note that lundgren Chevrolet gave me a 2000 suburban as aloner and guess what no brakes intermittantly. Also my service manager fred scharnberg has had the same problems with his new 2000 suburban. I believe g. M is about to have a very big problem when these vehicles start killing people because the can't stop.
