| On september 3rd, 2012 i was driving my 2003 chevy tahoe and i had just pulled into a shopping center and as i was approaching a stop sign i applied the brakes. the brake pedal went straight to the floor. i went straight through the stop sign, but, luckily there were no other vehicles at the intersection. i was able to put the vehicle into 1st gear and guide it into a parking spot away from other vehicles. when i exited the vehicle and looked under the truck, i could see all of the brake line fluid pouring out of the brake lines. the tahoe was towed to my mechanic. during the repair, the mechanic showed me all of the brake lines and they were all severely corroded. every brake line had to be replaced. there is no other corrosion on the vehicle. | |||

| While making a right hand turn down a hill out of a parking lot i heard a noise that sounded like something broke on my vehicle. went home about 6 blocks away looked to see if anything was wrong. i only looked at the front end; didn't see anything. a few days later while pulling up to my driveway in a different vehicle i noticed something hanging under the rear end of my tahoe. proceeded to check it out and found that my sway bar is completely broke where it's mounted on a bracket. i researched this and have found that this is a common issue with my make, year. | |||

| I can be going down the highway running 65-70 mph and the reduced engine power light will come on and reduces my speed to 10 mph! i pull over, disconnect the battery cable and replace it, then i could continue for another week or so. finally, i left the diagonstic computer in my truck and was able to capture the code p1125. the mechanic said to replace the throttle body. that was done in october. it ran fine for a while, but it started doing it again. the throttle body was replaced again! now, two months later, it's doing it again! no one can seem to fix the problem. meanwhile, i am a female who travels the highways everyday going back and forth to work and i have been in several dangerous situations due to this problem that will not stop! as of now, i can not drive my truck and having to rely on carpooling again until it's fixed for the third time in the past 6 months. it also appears that several people are having the same problem with no results. someone is going to get killed if this is not addressed soon! | |||

| Driving along the highway at the posted speed of 65 mph the speedometer suddenly dropped to 0 and the needle ceased to move. upon stopping at the next rest stop and checking for circuit breakers i realized that the problem was probably within the instrument itself and continued. returning to the freeway i noticed the speedometer was once again functioning but cars were passing me at an excessive speed. i estimated, by traveling with the flow of traffic, our speedometer was reading 15-20 mph fast. after stopping again and troubleshooting with no success we resumed our trip with the speedometer reading approximately 10-15 slower than actual speed. upon notifying our dealer i was told the speedometers in this year vehicle were failing at a excessive rate and the manufacturer had decided to offer and extended warranty to 70000 miles for replacement. i was never notified of this problem and warned of the defective parts in my vehicle. this particular trip was to mexico and the reliability of my speedometer would be a particular concern on the roads i travelled. this part should have been recalled due to the excessive rate of failure and the manufacturer should have notified the consumer immediately. | |||

| Recently purchased (3 days ago) a 2003 chevrolet tahoe and both my wife and i noticed erratic behavior from speedometer. after much research and another family member with the same problem on a 2004 tahoe, we realized that this was a serious safety issue that an extreme amount of other people were having. the speedometer sticks at different points while accelerating or decelerating, i wish to get this issue resolved as soon as possible via recall. gm is well aware of this problem and it should issue a full recall on the instrument cluster to fix the problem. a simple special situation warranty is not good enough. gm must issue a recall on this very widely experienced problem. they also said that although my mileage was only 2000 miles over the 70,000 mile mark, they wouldn't fix it. this is a serious safety issue! gm...do the right thing! reference blogs and gm class action lawsuit at: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f11f710/159 and also at http://www.lrolaw.com/pdf/gmspeed.pdf. *tr | |||
