2004 Tahoe, 79,000 miles. Engine overheated which could have caused fire if I had not noticed and stopped. Gm dealer says overheaing due to crack in cylinder head and confirmed TSB 06-06-01-019b (06/12/2007) applies to vehicle, which admits there is known manufacturing defect in certain cylinder heads which can cause engine coolant to leak internally causing overheating and potential engine failure. Dealer refuses to cover repair. I have pending complaint with gm customer service to pay for damage. I think this should be a recall as it can lead to overheating, engine failure and potential fire. There are multiple reports on internet of same problems by other owners.

I just bought a truck from a used car dealer, who said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. There is a problem with the heating and cooling. When I turn off the a/c it still blows air out of the vents, and the truck needs u joints.

The fluttering/grinding noise actually began around August '06. I had to drive without ac with windows down to survive the heat. I asked a local auto repair station about the noise, since it was out of warranty, and he said he had worked on several Tahoes with the same problem. He said that the Chevrolet dealership knew about the problem because they instantly told him what had to be replaced. They told him the average repair bill for this issue would be approx $1500 at the dealership. Since then I have heard other Tahoes with the same noise , especially at stoplights when they accelerate. Not everyone can afford that kind of repair, and if chevorlet knows about this issue, why hasn't there been a recall. This is not the typical and routine wear like oil changes and tires.

Air conditioner, compressor, clutch and belt tensionor on Chevrolet Tahoe. Belt tensionor breaks locking up causing compressor clutch to sieze then causing compressor to disentergrate internally shooting internal components thru accumalator and inside vehicle climate control system. Serpentine belt tenstsionor could cause belt to break which drives the entire system to include power steering. This is a common problem for Chevrolet models, however it may only begin having the problem at 3-4 years of ownership therefore appearing to be a normal breakdown of components. The problem is common enough the dealers and experienced mechanics maintain the parts as basic stocked items.

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. One owner vehicle, bought new. Flutter/rattling sound when accelerating with air conditioner on. Does not rattle when compressor is off. Rear air stopped blowing cold. Mechanic states several people with the same problem. Replaced tensioner pulley. Belts. Still rattling/ loud. Now states compressor/condenser need replacing before seizes up. Mechanic states this is a know defect of this model, but not aware of recalls. This needs to be addressed since it seems to be a mechanical defect.

Flutter/rattling compressor like sound when accelerating. Appears to be from a/c compressor. From my research, other owners have reported similar complaints. Dealer say this is not a equipment failure issue.

I have a 1998 Tahoe (purchase new from edmark Chevrolet in nampa, idaho) with a 350 vortec with 42,000 miles. I have just been told that I am leaking engine coolant from the intake manifold near the rear firewall. A very reputable mechanic says this is very common for this engine and will cost around $400-$500 to fix. While I have owned the car for 6 years I am am upset that a $34,000 car with only 42,00 miles has a problem which is deemed to be "common". If it is common, and I suspect it is, why doesn't gm post a bulletin and offer to repair the problem. It certainly wasn't caused from abuse or neglect. This same car last year with around 36,000 miles on it had to have its alternator replaced at a cost of $350 and a leaking gas tank which cost me $450. These repairs seem rediculous to me considering the price of the vehicle, the low mileage, and the general overall care. It has never been in an accident. Frankly, I enjoy the vehicle tremendously and it fits my lifestyle perfectly. However, having said that I cannot afford to keep pouring major dollars into this vehicle. I have always been a chevy guy and would like to remain one. I have been loyal and would appreciate chevy being loyal to me by repairing my coolant leak and reimbursing me for the other previously mentioned expenses.

Water pump starte to leak after 2 years with a replacement from the dealership. Gasket originally was corroded from the dexol coolant. This time the metal housing for the water pump developed a hole just below the shaft, large enough for a pencil to be inserted.

Coolant used in my 1998 Tahoe causes early corrosion of parts in the cooling system. Even following the recommended flushing, I am finding myself facing a rather large service bill to fix a leak caused by the type of coolant used. The dealer I purchased the car from (new) admitted that they do have this problem with early corrosion, yet Chevrolet is not covering any of the repair cost.

While traveling on highway engine check light appeared on dashboard. Dealership is aware of problem.

The heater hose is attached at the intake manifold with a quick-connect fitting that is made of pot metal. When this fails (and it is inevitable due to the type of metal used) the engine loses all coolant and leaves you stranded. There is no "quick repair" for this failure. Older engines had a connector into the intake manifold made of steel or brass which was more reliable and usually did not break off flush with the manifold. Nlm.

Consumer states that a defect in the mulitfunction switch, causes her to have no brake lights. Dealer replaced part 3 times, problem still occuring. Nlm serpentine belt tensioner coming apart. Disconnect nipple fitting leaking. Wipers slapping on windshield and has no speed and/or intermittent wiper operation. Dealer found needs wiper motor and wiper transmission.

Water pump bracket installed wrong at factory, causing serpentine belt to wear through/break, as well as engine to overheat and radiator to overflow.

The brake failures are well known by all Tahoe owners. The failures for the windshield wiper control assembly, brake light assembly are all related to poor quality electrical components not intended for any reasonable service life. Junk by any quality standards. The service department at nelda stevenson Chevrolet acknolwdged these components have high failure rates, but they get paid to correct them. The coolantconnector is an extememly poor design. Despite threading into the intake, it is made of a poor quality material that breaks off at the entry to the manifold requiring removal of the manifold to remove the broken threads resulting in a $400 bill to replace a $12. 95 part. Again pathetic design and choice of materials to save a couple of dollars in manufacturing. As a design engineer, I find these choices by gm designers deplorable and will buy used bmws from now on. A BMW with 200,000 miles has more service life left in it than a brand new gm product.
