| As i was driving down the interstate at a controlled speed of 70mph i suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. as this happened i felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. this is now happening every day i drive to work or anywhere i drive over 55mph. i have a 4 month old son and i am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. i have read that service centers can not fix this. | |||

| I reported to chevrolet that my tahoe was making a clunking sound when turning the steering wheel. i also informed them that i had gone to a local service shop to have three wheel alignments as the tires were feathering (inner wear of the tire). date are 05/31/2008 wheels replaced(2) and alignment done. 07/15/2009 2 wheels replaced. 11/05/2009 alignment done, 01/25/2010 alignment done. dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty intermediate drive shaft after a week long inspection. shaft was replaced at dealer on 02/2010. service advisor states that the intermediate steering shaft has nothing to do with the tire wear. *tr | |||

| We took our vehicle to the dealer for a 3rd time now (look for my other complaint on this website on electrical problems/windshield problems) for the same problem plus a number of multiple other problems. the problem that the dealer can't seem to remedy is the windshield wipers and wiper spray keep coming on all by themselves and cannot be turned off unless you turn the vehicle off and then restart it. they've replaced the windshield wiper module but they still come on randomly. the heated seats sometimes don't work and in order to get them to work you must restart the car. the front passenger window will randomly not roll up or down from the drivers side master switch and will only start working after restarting the vehicle. when i took my car to get serviced (oil change) the mechanic noticed several leaks under the vehicle, one coming from the engine bell housing another from the rack and pinion area and the third from the power steering pump housing area. when we took it to the dealer they cleaned the engine pan (i have before pictures) and added an engine dye and they stated they found no leaks, we'll check it again after a few hundred miles. they also cleaned up the other leaks from the other areas and claimed no leaks. our mechanic also noticed while rotating the tires that the front right rotors were deeply grooved which answers my question as to why my brakes have been squeaking. he says that with only 10,000 miles it is not normal for them to be grooved, and is definitely a defect with the calipers probably sticking. showed the dealer and the service writer stated it was normal, that cannot be normal. so now they resurfaced the rotor and the brakes are still squeaking. after bringing my vehicle home from the dealer for repairs the car locked itself i did not lock it, the car keys were not even in my hands anymore they were hanging on the key rack. there are definitely some major electrical problems and mechanical problems with this vehicle. *jb | |||
