On four ocassions I have had cold air blow out of my heater after the engine temperature gauge was over 100 degrees. After contiuously moving the control knob on and off, eventually, sometimes an hour later the heat comes on. This just started to occur this year. By the time I was able to get to a dealer there was heat coming out and they could not find any problems. When there is cold air coming out, you can depress the "flow thru air and air conditioning" buttons and the light on these buttons do not illuminate. When the heat comes back on, the lights on these buttons illuminate. I have told this to the dealer but their "diagnostic" check, again, shows no problem. It appears to me that this could be an electrical problem or a bad switch. Just the other day, two days ago, when this last happened, I had the radio on am and when I moved the heat switch from "off" to "on" this created static on my radio.

Ever since I purchased this auto I have been complaining about a front end problem. The auto dealer kept telling me it was nothing. Sensing it was a male/female problem I took my son in one day and they finally looked and said it was because I had "glazed brakes". The siutation did not improve after the so called fixed it. Shortly thereafter, I noticed something very funny about the tire on the front passenger side of my vehicle. I had already had the tires rotated so there would be not reason for excessive wear and bubbling on one tire only. I then took the auto a front end alignment shop. It was determined that the front end was out over 3/4" and could not be aligned without proper manufacturer adjustment of the holes. They refused. Chevy has acknowledged this problem by manufacturing the elongated hole on the 2000 model. Please be aware that neither chevy or my dealership would assist us. I was able to pay for this repair and have it done before I had a major front end blow out. Please, please make this information available to the public before we start reading about tahoes as well as fords.

I was 20 miles from home going 64 MPH, on a slight curve. I heard and felt the back tire blow the tire wall from the point of tire wear to the center. I was shocked at the damage.. The tahoe leaned severely to the right, but remained upright. I held the steering wheel tight and straight. And eased the tahoe to the side of the road. The tahoe was hard to control, but was able to get it to the side of the highway. When the tire blew the tahoe leaned severely to the right. When I got out of the tahoe, I discovered the tire had suffered catastrophic failure. The tire compleley collasped. The side wall completely blow away. This tire was a full size spare with only 4000 miles on it. Square chunks where removed from part of the sidewall. There were a number of tears in the tire. From the point of the tread to the center.. I called my husband on the cell phone; he was in the middle of a trial (he's an attorney). He drove the 20 miles to the site and he was shocked at the damage. We called a tow truck the wheel itself was damaged. At this time we do not know if the rear axle is damaged, it will be checked out tomorrow. It's at the dealership now. No one had seen anything like it. This was not a flat, it was an entire blowout. We still have possession of the defective tire and photos were taken at the scene and at the dealership.*ak (tiresize: p2451/76r1)( dot number: tire size: p2451/76r1 )
