| The speedometer would not decrease speed, and but would register an increase, and consequently would not reflect actual speed. i could correct problem by repeatedly starting vehicle, until eventually it just would no longer register a change in speed at all. now i have no idea what speed my vehicle is traveling. | |||

| The safety issue here is the fact that gm door actuators do not work properly. gm is not recalling the parts and this has been going on for years. doors will not lock, or open consistently, and they do not cover the repairs unless you have the original factory warranty or it might be covered on major guard which they don't even offer on my vehicle. the internet is filled with thousands of people with the issue. people can be carjacked, or their vehicles stolen because their door locks won't function. gm just flat out does not care, and the problem isn't just on the tahoe & suburban lines. here are just a few links out there on this issue. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/webx?14@@.f206d4b/0 http://www.chevymalibuforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7950 and here's someone who appears to have a fix, get rid of the cheap chinese parts. http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/f69/tahoe-door-lock-actuator-problem-solution-27064/ the fact that this business practice is allowed to continue seems absurd. this part needs to be fixed and a recall issued. at a minimum it should be covered by gm for all failures on all vehicles. | |||

| We have a 2005 chevy tahoe and we recently encountered a problem - the liftgate will not unlock. we discovered that is no manual key entry and there is no internal unlock system. this is a major safety issue : repeat: there is no internal unlock system which is a hugh safety issue in the event of an emergency exit needed - especially with the third seat intalled. the only way to unlock the liftgate is via remote key - but the lock does not respond to the remote key so the liftgate cannot open. there are tremendous amounts of complaints posted on the internet forums and we can not believe that there is no recall on this horribly unsafe situation - not to mention equpment failure. what is being done about it? thank you. | |||

| Last year i notice that the traction active warning would go on and there was a humming noise that would follow. this would happen throughout the first few months. around may of last year it started happening more often, as i was driving the truck would suddenly stop and turn off on its own after traction warning came on. also after having stopped at a traffic light the traction warning would come on when accelerating to go . this has happened now everyday since may of last year. i have researched this online to see if this is happening to any other owners of tahoes and it has. from what i have read cheverolet has not been able to fix this problem. i have been fortunate not to be rear ended by another car but i have had some close calls. i have read that other drivers have turned off their stabilitrak control. i have tried this and it does help to some extent but this is not the solution to the problem. cheverolet knows of the problem and they have not issued a recall for this problem. other drivers have brought their suv in for repairs and had the speed sensors replaced. when they drive their suv after the so call repair, the problem still continues. i believe the issue is the transfer case. due to that every time this problem would start the noise would come from right under the driver seat. even with the stabilitrak control being turned off the humming and rumbling of gear sounds right under the seat. this is a dangerous situation when driving 30 to 40 mph the suv coming to a stop and turning off. several people wrote that this happened at hwy speed. this has been my fear. cheverolet should officially recall tahoes with this issue. in canada a recall was put out due to a similar situation. why is it that this hasn't been done here and owners in the us have to pay for repairs that have not solved the problem. | |||

| The shift lever position indicator located in the instrument panel cluster does not illuminate at various times. this has happened on and off for a while and i decided to research the issue. i found a similar recall for this model year vehicle on your website, but gm refuses to cover the defect on my vin. i recently almost hit someone being in the wrong gear. this matches a previous recall id of 05v055000. | |||
