Automatic Transmission Column Shift Problems of Chevrolet Tahoe

The shift lever arm on the automatic transmission had rusted sufficiently that the shift cable connection slipped off the nipple on the shift lever arm. It appears to be a snap fit without any positive retention. It was then not possible to shift gears or re-start the engine. Luckily this happened in my own driveway just after I had driven home on the freeway. The repair shop replaced the lever arm and the complete cable assembly. I have the defective parts.

I own a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe. I have found that when the key is in the accessory position, you are not required to use the brake to shift out of park. My 18-month old son discovered this while we were cleaning out the truck and it started to roll down the driveway. I contacted the dealer to see if there was a recall or fix and found that there was not. I found out that this is actually how all Tahoes since 2003 are programmed to work. This behavior is not consistant with the other key positions and I feel is a saftey hazzard. Luckily no one was injured in the discovery of this. I would like to see someone follow up with gm to get this resolved before there are injuries or deaths. I would also like to see some follow up with me as to the outcome of this complaint.

This model has the manual transfer case shift lever. Although the lever moves correctly in the various positions, such as 2wd. , 4wd. High 4wd. Low, neutral and makes the usual noises when shifting, the four wheel drive is not engaging nor is the indicator light , showing the front axle is engaged, lighting up. This has caused several close calls in " almost accidents" and almost being stranded. We live in a rural setting where there is a 11 mile distance between some neighbors and very sparse cell phone access. The point being that when we buy a vehicle with 4 wheel drive , we expect it to work and our lives depend on it! in this case a front wheel drive car would provide better traction, having the weight of the engine over the drive wheels, rather than having the light rear end wheels trying to push the heavy front end of a truck around. When you are driving a vehicle expecting it to perform as a four wheel drive vehicle, such as in steering and added grip and maneuverability, the unexpected surprise equals that of a brake failure! your help and research in this matter is appreciated. I have had nothing but a ignorant, lying. And expensive experience with my local Chevrolet dealer and have had to take it to another state for any repairs. Thanks!.

Took vehicle in for 4-wd problem, and when vehicle was picked up it had no power steering. Dealer calims failure was due to cold weather starts. Power steering units should not fail with only 44000 miles . Could have caused serious accident if it had failed while on the road. Dealer charged $350. 00 to repair and dismissed concern that this should not happen.

While driving at any speed and coming to a stop, their is a banging noise and too much play within the transfer case, and within the slip yoke of the transfer case, it binds.

7/15/98one month old the car locked into 4wd when it was started in the driveway. It would not shift out it was inoperative. It needed parts replaced to fix. The car was taken in again because it felt like it was locked in 4wd again because all the axiles were turning. I was told that was normal and that the universals were worn out. That made three universals in three years. Also that the lights on dashbaord for the 4wd uni would not stay on to tell if you were in 4wd or not. Now something in the transfer case is broken. I recently read the owners manual on the 4wd unit and it says the front axsiles are not supposed to turn in 2wd. I brought this up to the dealer saying that even though this car has 93000. 00 miles the transfer case would not have more than 1000. 00 miles on it and that this car has a drive train history of failure with three universals and three problems with the transfer case. They tell me that all the axiles turn and wear out which is not what their owners manual says.
