Check engine light won't go off. Not able to see gear panel prnd321. Right turning signal doesn't work sometimes or make high beams come on when it comes on.
We've put 21,000 miles on these tires in 3 years and have tire rumbles, vibration while driving and side wall is cracking and flaking away. Brought to the dealer where we got the tires from and they have no idea what's causing it. Seems to me that several people are having this issue. There needs to be a recall for these tires before someone gets hurt while driving.
Noticed noise in my power steering on inspection found to be low on fluid finley found leak at break system. On research found this to be a problum on many chevy autos and trucks from 2003 to 2006 those are the ones I found
Steering wheel locks on his own, brake engages for no reason electrical system off
Abnormal noise of rattling, crackling, and clucking in steering column when making left turn or slightly turning steering wheel to left also driving vehicle at 15 MPH or higher speed knocking noise consistent in steering column. My vehicle was serviced twice at mileage 24,757, and in 2007 mileage 41,309 by the dealer and repaired with new lubrication kit was installed into the intermediate shaft at no cost to me due to warranty coverage. However, my 2005 tahoe has had the continuing problem throughout my sole ownership. Current mileage is at 116,000, on going defects as such is a manufacture defect, I will have to repair again with out of pocket cost average from $125.00 to $300.00.
I have a 2005 chevy tahoe, which recently I have been having many problems,I was wondering if there any recall notices for this vehicle...service air bag light is on...ABS light is on...seat belts on middle section does not work correctly,it gets stuck many times...steering sometimes gets stiff.
Approximately 5:50 p.m. As my daughter and I were driving down a busy road the car stopped without warning. Many of the dashboard lights came on and the steering locked. I was able to crank again to pull it into a business parking lot. I was not completely in the parking space and was concerned about upsetting the flow of traffic for this business, but could not crank the car to get it completely in the parking space. As I was out of town, the vehicle had to be towed approximately 75 miles. When the guy came to tow the car all the lights were still on, steering still locked and unable to start engine up. The guys at the chevrolet dealership where it was towed started working on the vehicle on friday morning by closing they still had not figured out the problem with the car. Around lunch time on monday they realized it was the ignition switch. The part was $49.52 but the labor was costly. I ended up paying $476 to have the vehicle repaired. Really did not feel safe driving the car for quite some time. Can't believe my vehicle will not be covered under this recall when it is the exact same symptoms. My statement on the repair order states, "the customer says the car stopped as she was driving down the road."
