| My 2000 tahoe caught a fire - it started cranking by itself w/o the keys in it and then flames started shooting out of the drivers side of the suv and burnt that side of the dashboard and busted the windshield. i was able to put the fire out with 2 fire ext. and a water hose. i had to jerk the cables from the battery to get it to quit cranking. and if you connect them back it will start cranking again w/o the keys. i was not having any problems with it and i don't know how it could start by itself w/o keys or anyone in the suv. i asked gm to assist me and they stated that the statute of repose in ky is eight years from the original purchase and they will not assist me. i could understand that but not something like this when a vehicle starts on its own and burns - please help me. thanks *tr | |||

| Air bag light is activated. i have had my 2000 tahoe ls in for service to correct this problem once already, but after about 2 months the light is back on. i felt i needed to file this report because of several articles i have read on this subject. i have read everything from air bags will not deploy, to air bags will deploy for no reason at all,both of which should be considered unacceptable and dangerous. *tr | |||

| My sunroof leaks, my brakes do not work well, my rear windshield wiper went crazy, wouldn't stop ,now is broken; my two back power window motors have stopped. i cannot roll one down, the other one was replaced while under warranty. my parking brake does not work. my 2000 tahoe also leaks underneath the steering column somehow causing my driver's side floorboard to get soaked and there are pieces rusting underneath due to this. my car smells of mildew because of these leaks, my leather seats are ruined and the floor boards are ruined. *jb | |||

| Dear sirs, i own a 2000 chevy tahoe, that i bought new. ocacionally the engine ( 5.3 l), would stall without warning. usually when braking but just before a complete stop.it always happened when the engine was at operating temp.i also noticed that the engine, at idle, would dip down to 200- 300 rpm's, with the a/c or defroster on, and the engine would stumble and shake the vehicle. if i tap the gas peddle a little, it produces the same results.i took the truck to harbor cheverlet, michigan city on 2-25-02 for service after it had stalled on me 8-10 times since new,and they reprogrammed the pcm per tsb #00-07-30-006, and sent me on my way with 33092 miles on the truck. i returned to the dealer again on 4-12-02 ,same complaint. they said no problem found at this time. it is now 12-18-02 and in the last month it has stalled around 15-20 during idle conditions.there are no other problems with the engine other than at idle. i am taking it back to the dealer on satuday with 49000 miles on, and out of warranty to see what they say about fixing it. do you have any information on the number of complaints for this vehicle and problem, and could you e-mail that to me? thank you. | |||

| A co-worker and i went to a christian book store during lunch on thursday, march 19, 2009, we left our office at 12:30 pm. we arrived at the store approximately 12:50 pm. we went into the store, we weren't in the store 10 minutes and my alarm was going off on my 2000 chevrolet tahoe. i tried to unlock & relock the truck because i thought it was just a fluke. i looked out the window of the store and saw a little smoke coming from the hood (near the windshield). i thought maybe it was overheating (we never had any trouble with overheating in the past), fire never entered my mind for a second. i ran outside and opened the door. when i opened the door there was a bunch of smoke and fire under the driver's side dash. then the fire went crazy. the fire department said it took all the water they had to put it out (500 gallons). they are pretty sure it was electrical. we have never had any trouble with this tahoe. we didn't have anything mechanically done to it. it literally caught fire sitting in the parking lot. if this had happened when i was still driving my friend and i wouldn't be alive. this has been a very traumatic event in my life, don't know what the insurance is going to do if anything and can't afford another vehicle payment. plus the tahoe was only 4 payments from being paid off. called chevrolet on friday, march 20th , talked to oscar robins and he was suppose to talk to my husband, instead he had his representative call him and ask him useless questions (like my height??). my husband said that representative was going to call me with some more questions. they never did. *tr | |||

| When turning left at slow speeds, my wife noticed that the steering wheel had a good amount of resistance. when she turned the wheel further to the left, the vehicle had a complete loss of power. at the time of the incident, my wife was in north conway nh,so she had the vehicle towed to the nearest chevrolet dealership (crest auto world, north conway, nh, (603) 356-5401). the service rep at crest auto world found that the main engine harness had wrapped itself around the steering column and when my wife turned the wheel, the harness was severed, thus removing all power to the vehicle. the service rep found that the harness was not installed properly. my dealership in va beach was notified. the dealership in north conway nh repaired the wires in the harness and recommended that we have the entire harness replaced when the vehicle returned to va beach. *ak | |||
