Yesterday was driving home from work and came to a round about, slowed down and vehicle died (alternator gauge went below 14, oil pressure dropped below 40, and battery light came on). I lost all steering and brake pedal was stiff. Now vehicle continuously idles rough and will stall out if not on the throttle, idles 500 and lower. I have replaced mass air flow sensor, air filter, plugs, wires, o2 sensors, fuel filter, evap canister, alternator, and had throttle body cleaned. See there are many complaints filed of the same issues and wondering if anyone at gm has found a solution. Also have noticed gm has recalled the intake gasket but I have not received anything on this recall.

Purchased 2003 chevrolet tahoe on 1/13/2003. Since then vehicle has been in services over 10 times for engine stalling out or for vehicle trying but not cranking. Fuel pump was to blame at least 3, bad gas has been the blame twice, cpu brain twice and anti-theft system once. As long as vehicle has half tank of gas vehicle runs fine.

The tahoe was purchased dec. 30 2002. In april we were driving 65 on the interstate. The tahoe stalled, we pulled over put in park and started it. We drove about 13 miles it did the same thing. We called the dealership and took it in. They could find nothing. In june we were on the interstate driving 60 to 65 and the same thing happened. We had been home about 30 min. And my husband went to move the tahoe and it would not start. The dealership came to pick it up and kept it for several days. They told me it was the rubber on a fule filter in the gas tank that was closing up when it had pressure on it. Once the tahoe died the pressure released and the fuel could flow through.

When I had my 2003 tahoe for only 6 months, my tahoe stalled in the road and had to be towed to the dealer. Well, they fixed it and they said it was a defective fuel pump. I would like to know if this has happened with other similar vehicles. Also, I had to bring back my tahoe to the dealer last week because of a thumping noise in the steering wheel and they said that the steering wheel shaft just needed some lubrication. My concern is that I only had this vehicle for 14 months with 15700 miles on it and I already have problems. Could my vehicle be a lemon? Please research about other 2003 tahoe's if they have had similar problems.
