general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe

Purchased the truck brand new in 2002 and have had nothing but hell from it. We've had several issues, several breakdowns and stranded moments on the highway due to something malfunctioned in the fuel system that even chevy couldn't figure out. It's been unreliable and given us hell the entire time we've owned it. We've dumped thousands $$ into repairs in the last 15 years. Most recently a new transmission after it went out on us towing a small trailer with a tow package that couldn't tow. We've dumped enough money into this truck to have purchased another truck brand new. On 3/28/16 the truck spontaniously caught fire and burned down while unoccupied and parked in our driveway. To add to the hardship we had just reduced the insurance to liability after carrying full coverage for the past 15 yrs. The truck is a total loss and now we are without transportation!! what happened chevy?.

When the a/c fan is turned on. . It begins to make a fluttering noise the whole time you are driving. ( very loud). I have had to a/c belts to break because of this fluttering. The compressor must be locking up.

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe drivers seat heater shocking driver and burning holes through the seat and leather. This occurs whether the heater is turned off or on.

Due to the error in the fuel gauge(indicating more fuel than the vehicle had) the vehicle ran out of fuel on the interstate with my entire familty on board. This could have been a serious accident as I was unable to exit the freeway and was not given a low fuel indicator light. This error in fuel level could have resulted in serious injury and I request a oem recall to correct gauge or sensor errors, our fuel gauge is still not displaying accurate readings, we do not trust the gaure anylonger. We have also seen "wild gauge swings/listings" at random intervals.

I am the original owner of a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe that experienced abs cut-in at low speeds in dry weather in 2005 and was recalled under campaign 05v379000 / NHTSA action number : pe05020. The cut-in problem has recently returned, with exact same symptoms as before. I called gm as the original recall no longer appears to be in effect, but they do not appear to be willing/able to cover any repairs against that recall despite the corrosion treatment and lubrication obviously not being a permanent fix. Other gm vehicles impacted by the abs issue and which are still in service will begin to experience similar failures and NHTSA and gm need to recognize the original issue has not been resolved and take action.

Turned a/c on and heard a rattle then a thumping sound. A/c still worked for two days then the a/c belt broke. This was a brand new belt. Mechanic replaced belt, drove across the street. . . . Compressor locks up and breaks the belt. Mechanic contacts gm and finds out that the fan clutch could go out, send a signal to a/c compressor causing to lock up. Replace fan clutch, replaced belt. . . . Again noise then belt breakage. The compressor is working then locks up for no reason. Putting in a new compressor, new belt, and the new fan clutch remains.

Went to start car so I could pick daughter up from a basketball game (11:30 p. M. On a Friday night) and the truck would not start. It would turn but got no fire to it. The following morning it did the same thing to include the Monday morning. Had it towed to dealer, it started on the first try when the tow truck let it down. They check it out, told me it was my fuel pump. Charged me $645. The following week (Sunday, the same thing occured again and I took it to another dealer on Monday and they checked it out, put it on the machine and no problem was noted by the machine. Service manager suggested that it could be the sensors because about every 300 miles or full tank of gas, it has started doing this. Suggested I bring it in next time when it does not start to see if they can detect the problem. Christmas day, it did not start as we were on our way out of town for a family christmas in another state. It did start the next day (Sunday) and was fine for the week until today (new year's eve). Again, had it towed to the last dealer and they checked it. It did not start the first time but it did the second try. Asked if I pumped the gas while trying to start it. I did not and they checked the vehicle out and again put it on the machine and it did not detect anything wrong. They asked that I make an appt. For Thursday so they keep it over night and see if it will start for them. All dealers were Chevrolet dealers. No additonal parts were placed on teh vehicle. Have steady oil changes, tire rotations and any and all services done in a timely manner. Since Dec 6 (first incident) it has not cranked on me 3 separate times.

The electrical system has shorted out the fuel pump 3 times, dealer replaced fuel pump after every incident. Please provide additional information. Ts.
