Steering · at 12,000 miles · reported Apr 3, 2008
I have a 2002 chevy tahoe that has a bumping noise in the steering column. I also have three friends that have the exact same noise in their like vehicle. It seems it should be a recall since it is in this number of vehicles. I have reported it to the nstb and got a note back thank you for your letter.
Parking Brake · reported Jul 4, 2007
Bad design of emergency brake on my 2002 tahoe SUV. Had seldom used the emergency brake and was getting the state inspection done and would not pass inspection due to failure of the emergency brake. Auto repair replaced the damaged equipment.
Tires · reported Mar 25, 2004
Tread seperation on my bf goodrich 245/70/16 t/a tires that came with my 2002 chevy trailblazer. All 4 tires have cracks around the sidewalls. Should the cracks get deeper, I have been told the tread will seperate from the tires. These have about half the tread life let. Unfortunately, I AM told this is a pro-rated problem that seems to have happened to only these 4 tires.
Parking Brake · reported Feb 10, 2004
Late model (Year 2000+) full size GM vehicles have parking brakes that fail to function in as few as 15,000 miles. The failure occurs whether the driver uses the brake or not. I AM a texas state vehicle inspector in the fort worth area and have seen hundreds of these with a common design defect.
