Fuel System, Gasoline · at 27,074 miles · reported Oct 30, 2006
Dt*: the contact stated that while driving the vehicle the fuel line constantly spewed gas from the rear of the vehicle. This occurred at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined the cause of the problem was due to rats chewing on the fuel line. The vehicle was taken to a couple other independent mechanics who determined that it was caused by a stress fracture. The dealer replaced the fuel line. Updated 1/10/2007 - the consumer has the old part in his possession, part # 15126980.
Parking Brake · at 88,267 miles · reported Oct 25, 2005
Parking brake will not work. The trucks were recalled, because they are a standard. Tahoes were not even though they are the same parking brake. My parking brake not working is dangerous when I park on a hill or when I need the extra safety. It has also affected my reverse due to parking on a hill and then putting it in gear. It is now very loud to put it in gear. Truck recall #05042
Fuel System, Other · reported Sep 28, 2005
In january of '05, the fuel gauge on my 2001 chevy tahoe quit working. It shows empty all of the time. This also causes my low fuel light to come on, and the check engine light to be on.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · reported Jun 22, 2005
Potential for fatal accidents. The 2001 chev. 1500 silverado I drive has poor brakes to the extent that the brake pedal can be depress to a point below the level of the accelerator pedal. Several times when backing and looking out the back window I have applied the brakes and hit the accellerator pedal at the same time. This causes the asb system to acctivate. When taken to the dealer they tell me that the brake pedel travel is no greater than any other vehilce of the same make and model. Two of my sons drive the chev suburuban and complain of poor brakes as well.
