| Although the dash says apply brake to shift from park, my 3 year old son was able to shift out of park causing the vehicle to start rolling backward down a hill. what i discovered was that he had turned the key halfway between the off position and the accessory position and in this intermediate position the vehicle freely shifts out of park without pressing the brake at all. i contacted the dealer and he indicated it is the brake shift lockout switch that controls that safety feature. clearly if my 3 year old son can get around that safety feature, it is not a safety feature at all. *ak | |||
| While driving over a period of time, and when making a stop , vehicle slams into gear very harshly. cause unknown. please give any further details.*ak | |||

| I have had this vehicle back a three different dealerships. two of them informed me that these conditions are normal for this vehicle and there is nothing that the can do. wallace lundgren at least kept the vehicle for a week and apparently tried to duplicate the symptoms. these problems are occuring intermittantly and me being an automotive technician know how hard intermitant problems are but because of the safety of my family i believe that a vehicle that intermitantly has no brakes should be taken seriously. also i would like to note that lundgren chevrolet gave me a 2000 suburban as aloner and guess what no brakes intermittantly. also my service manager fred scharnberg has had the same problems with his new 2000 suburban. i believe g.m is about to have a very big problem when these vehicles start killing people because the can't stop. *ak | |||

| I have enclosed a letter with fax describing events. thank you. no component mentioned in summary. *ak the consumer wrote a letter on behalf of her sister who is the owner of the vehicle in question. the owner took the vehicle to a repair shop where the mechanic stated he had never seen a rear differential in that state and found it to be rare and very unusual for a vehicle of that age/mileage. he advised the owner to check to see if there was a recall. upon contacting gm, the consumer learned there was no recall. gm instructed the owner to have the vehicle towed to another dealership to have gm look at the vehicle. the second mechanic agreed this was unusual and that gm should cover at least 75 percent of the repair. by this time, the owner had the necessary repair completed. *ph | |||

| I own a 2000 chevy tahoe. it will not allow me to shift out of 4wd. i have researched similar complaints on the internet and have found many. there seems to be a correlation between the cold weather and the proper operation of that function. in a cold weather state such as michigan, this could be a problem all winter long. as a recurring condition it can be expensive to repair. just to diagnose the problem is at least $100 at most dealerships. *cb | |||
