When I turn there is a popping noise that can also be felt in the steering wheel also when I am driving and feel a bump. The fuel will at times show a full tank then all of a sudden go to 1/4 tank it changes all the time and is not accurate, I cannot depend on it because I never really know how much fuel it actually has. The driver seat heater got extremely hot and and we will not use because are scared it might burn thru the seat since it already left a small burn mark. The problem with the steering wheel on this particular vehicle also did the same on another Chevrolet we had and have researched online and it seems is a big issue with Chevrolet vehicles.
2003 chevy Tahoe with seat heaters. Heater driver side comes on by itself and can not shut it off. Seat gets extremely hot and I have been told by dealer that we have to replace seat module control cost $500.
I have a 2003 Tahoe z71 with leather seats. My wife noticed a smell and thought it was exhaust. I drove the vehicle and it did not smell that way all the time. We finally found the problem by my wife getting burnt. Her seat heater was getting way too hot and produced a burning smell. It got so hot that it left a burnt mark on the leather seat and burnt her back and that's when we figured out that it was what was causing the smell. Be careful when you turn on those front seat heaters. Will report to Chevrolet.
