I got on hwy 26 at the white rock ballentine exit. I was traveling on 26 when I saw a maurice barbeque truck come onto the highway so I moved over one lane. As the truck was coming onto the highway, at an extremely fast speed, at the lake murray entrance I saw something fly out of his truck. It had to have flown out his window and it hit my windshield and made a crack in it. I immediately tried to honk my horn to get him to pull over. He gave me the finger. So I slowed down went behind him took his plate number down and called maurice's bbq number right away. I unfortunately didn't have time to follow him because I was in the middle of taking my kids to an emergency doctors appointment. I felt I took all the right steps to make sure I reported this properly. I continued to call maurices 3 times a day and left messages and no one responded finally 3 days later a woman called me and told me she sent it to the insurance but they weren't gonna pay for it. The insurance company called me and said the driver said he didn't do anything wrong and because you didn't follow him we wont pay for it. This is so unfair to me as I didn't even get a chance to state my case... I am appalled and disgusted by how maurices bbq handled the situation ... Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

While lowering driver's power window a snap occured and the window fell to the bottom. I contacted my local repair center. They informed me that it was a dealer only item. That the entire regulator assembly would have to be replaced. I spoke to the dealership and they informed me they had gone through hundreds! I veiwed the broken item and the steel cable seemed to be a design flaw, allowing water to settle at cable entrance. Why replace the entire regulator $235.91?

Rear windows intermittently would not work and then both failed at the same time. N eeded to replace both motors and regulators.cost of repair exceeded $425.00. Apparently there is a service bulletin on this and a known defect like this should be covered by the manufacturer.

While the van was parked in the driveway with the engine running toddler poked head out of the rear passenger side window, and put hand on the door arm rest, where the power window controller switch was located. The window started going up, toddler paniced and pushed down harder on the controller switch, and window continued going up and chocked the toddler. Consumer felt that a child proof device should be installed in all of the windows to prevent such incident from occurring. *ak

My rear windshield collapsed into pieces when I opened the cargo door. The shattered glass flew everywhere and resulted in minor cuts scrapes, and not to mention incontrollable tears on my 6-yr old daughter and myself. The service dept. Employee stated several vehicles have gone for the same reason. My parking brake is inoperable and caused my vehicle not to pass inspection. My co-worker had the same problem just yesterday and it needed all of the cabling replaced. When my vehicle was still under extended warranty we lost 3 tires and the men at the tire shop told us that our truck was missing the pinions on all four wheels and the dangers it caused. I had them added to my truck and haven't had a tire bust since. Never got compensation. I think this is something I should be compensated for. Its ridiculous how these new vehicles are falling apart and no one is on our side.

All of the windows except the driver's window would not roll up or down. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the power window motor needed to be replaced.

The two rear power windows on my 2000 chevy tahoe developed internal intermittent shorts at the exact same time. I have also experienced trouble with the two front power windows not working at times. The dealership stated they have seen prior problems with the power windows in the tahoe's. My vehicle only had 23751 miles on it at the time the back window motors were replaced. I was charged over $400.00 for these repairs. It seems to me the problem with the motors is a factory defect and I shouldn't be held liable for the expense of replacement.

My sunroof leaks, my brakes do not work well, my rear windshield wiper went crazy, wouldn't stop ,now is broken; my two back power window motors have stopped. I cannot roll one down, the other one was replaced while under warranty. My parking brake does not work. My 2000 tahoe also leaks underneath the steering column somehow causing my driver's side floorboard to get soaked and there are pieces rusting underneath due to this. My car smells of mildew because of these leaks, my leather seats are ruined and the floor boards are ruined.

Neither one of the electric passenger windows will work. One will work at times and then at other times it will not. The window will not go down or up. This could purpose a problem especially with people with small children. You would have to break a glass to get in the passenger windows if needed. Chevrolet should fix this problem as it is a recurring problem in the tahoe. I would be glad to know they are willing to fix this problem.

Windshield wiper motor circuit board failure. Windshield wipers worked only intermittently, then stopped operating totally. After further investigation and troubleshooting, found open circuit in pc board contained in the the wiper motor housing. Looks like gm has still not addressed this issue even though their are recalls on earlier vehicles for the same type of failure.
