2001 Chevrolet Tahoe transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gas pedle stuck or linkage in cold weather. Did not drop our of paqssing gear but held in passing gear for a couple of seconds. Pressing break could not overcome the engine reving.
Automatic transmission stopped shifting while driving. Dealer determined that transmission must be replaced.
When the vehicle shifts from 1st to 2nd, there is a shuddering noise coming from the transmission.
Defects: ABS light on at 43,600 miles. When car is turned off a loud noise is heard beneath the drivers side of the vehicle my independent mechanic said the ABS unit is purging. At 20 miles and regularly there after, when the fog light power button is pressed, the rear window wiper briefly makes noise as if it had been activated. At 3000 miles and regularly there after , all four doors squeak at the hinges and must be lubricated weekly. At 10,600 miles the rear differential began to leak. Both driver and passenger seat squeak and do not firmly lock into position. The driver and front passenger seats do not lock into position. The parking brake has not worked since I purchased the vehicle.
I have had my tahoe in the the dealer several times. Where to begin. We have had middle seat latches catch and need to be replaced, the front dash and radio bubbled up and peeled...that was replaced. A component in the steering column was replaced when the car would just up and die everytime you turned left. That was replaced. The back window latch broke while on vacation. It too was replaced. All the seat/seatbelt recalls were repaired. Then on 5/18/03 our power steering went out without any warning. They replaced it on 5/19/03 at the dealer. We took it back in on 5/30 with the complaint of it still not "feeling" right. It was hard to turn to the left. They found no problem. Then on 7/13/03 while driving with a car full of boys, then the car died and started on fire. The 2 men, both whom have backgrounds as mechanics that help me said that it the universal joint on the power steering box was rubbing against the positive battery cable. Once it rubbed thru the insulation the car caught fire. They had to disconnect the battery before they were able to tow the car because everytime the wheel moved a little it began sparking again. Also, they had to end up towing it from the front because the steering column wouldn't lock up when the ignition was off, so, they couldn't tow it from the back.
Immediately after application of the anti-loch brakes at low speeds in 2 wheel high mode, the vehicle seems to "lock up" the wheels as if it were in 4 wheel drive. We get severe wheel hop and when we stop the vehicle, then restart it there is a very loud clunking sound. After that the vehicle preforms normally. The problem also goes away if the vehicle is turned off. The vehicle goes into 4 wheel auto, 4 wheel low and 2 wheel high normally at all other times. Again, the problem only happens when the antilock brakes are activated at low speeds (no problem from high speed stops) and it has happened twice in the past 5 minths.
There seems to be a problem with my transfer case for the 4 wheel drive. 4 wheel drive does not want to engage when it is pressed.
Consumer stated the automatic transmission was slipping from 2nd gear to the 3rd gear. Dealer had been notified and will replace the transmission .
When the vehicle accelerated, the RPM's whined out and the transmission engaged roughly which also caused the vehicle to surge.ts
The consumer stated that the transmission had shifted from drive to 3rd and back again while the vehicle was in motion. Also, the trasmission clunks when put into reverse and the engine revved up and down while shifting.
While driving in dry weather vehicle tries to engage into 4 wheel drive. Vehicle starts to shutter. Took to dealer ,and dealer greased yoke in transfer case, changed oil, but problem still exists. Cannot find cause.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Transmission was slipping due to insufficient fluid/paint thin primer showing through.
Transmission was slipping due to insufficient fluid/paint thin primer showing through.
Vehicle was taken to a transmission shop for jerking between 10-20mph... I was told that the transmission had internal problems and it was common for the chevrolet trucks from 1996-2001 I have found well over 50 complaints of transmission failure on the internet in a matter of hours. I feel this is a serious problem that general motors needs to address.
Very poor wet road traction, spinning wheels starting from stops. Sliding to stops on wet roads with only moderate application of brakes.*ak (tiresize: p265-70-16)( dot number: tire size: p265-70-16 )
