I have a 2001 chevy tahoe. I purchased the vehicle 2 years. For the year I have heard a clicking noise and a knocking noise when I turn and then the noise starting getting louder. Four months ago I was pulling out of my drive way and the noise turned into a scratching sound. I parked the vehicle for 2 days took it to dealer ship and they said nothing was wrong with it. Well little did I know that nothing turned into the rear end gear differential going completely out. Now I am with out a vehicle. This is while I have my 4 children in the vehicle with me on our way to the doctors office. I broke down on the side of the road. Could not go forward what so ever. Every time I would put it into drive it would make this horrible loud noise. I am not sure if I should contact the manufacturer or what. Can some one tell me anything if it has happened to you and how much it coast to be fixed. I have an extended warranty but it will not cover it.

Abs module, transmission, parking brake, throttle body, windows, rear A/C, steering suspension. Since we purchased the vehicle we have had to spend over $4000.00 on repairs that should be recalled due to safety.

I have a 2001 tahoe that has been relatively problem-free. Recently, the transmission went out on it without warning. My wife was driving on the highway, heard a pop that sounded like a flat tire. She pulled off to inspect the car, but did not see anything visibly wrong. Turns out, she had no reverse, and could barely reach 50 MPH, so I am guessing she was missing some gears. She was lucky enough to be able to get if off of the highway, and from there I had it towed to the dealer. "something exploded in my transmission" were the mechanics words. I wondered how something could just "explode" in the transmission without warning, so I went searching the internet. Turns out alot of people have seen this related to sun-shell failure. Tsb 00822b/00822c, the federal safety agency item number 10005474.

The shift lever arm on the automatic transmission had rusted sufficiently that the shift cable connection slipped off the nipple on the shift lever arm. It appears to be a snap fit without any positive retention. It was then not possible to shift gears or re-start the engine. Luckily this happened in my own driveway just after I had driven home on the freeway. The repair shop replaced the lever arm and the complete cable assembly. I have the defective parts.

Dt*: the contact stated without warning the vehicle slipped between 2nd and 3rd gear. The next day upon entering the vehicle, none of the forward gears worked. The vehicle was reversed out of the parking lot and towed to an independent repair shop. The repair shop determined the front planetary drive snapped because a bearing broke loose. The transmission needs to be rebuilt.

Power train:transmission, would not go into reverse, have to have transmission rebuilt. This was without any noise or failure prior to this happening. Thankful I was not driving with my kids when the transmission locked up. I had just had this serviced in march of 2004. Without any warning this happend, and now I am faced with a 2000.00 repair bill.

Why does the manual state that one can pull up to 8700lbs. If the tahoe can barely handle 3500lbs? The springs have been replaced twice the manifold is cracked the fuel pump went out, the universal joint is going out, the transfer case is leaking and has only been used twice in 3 years, and has already been repaired once last year, the steering pump is going out, these are only the problems I can think of.
