Body problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe

Driver fell asleep ran into the back of a semi truck, airbag did not deploy. Vehicle was a total loss.

Bought Tahoe in 2006,noticed had to push brake peddle hard when stopping,told several different dealers about it,told it was normal. Different people drove it and also said you really had to push hard to stop. I changed tires last year and asked them about the brakes,I was told that there was trouble on the 2006 Tahoe.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the rear deck cargo door could not be unlocked electronically. The dealer advised that the cargo door was not designed to do open electronically. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

The rear hatch door actuator when not working properly will not allow the window or the rear hatch door to unlock. This is a hazard in case of an auto accident.

2006 chevy Tahoe rear hatch will not unlock/open. This is the second time that this has occurred with this vehicle. First time repaired by the dealership where it was purchased new after the warranty expired -- expensive repair. Now facing having to have costly repair again and the vehicle is less than 7 years old. This is a keyless entry and poses a serious safety issue as there is no way to open the hatch from the inside or the outside of the vehicle. I do not have the VIN at this time.
