I bought this vehicle at tax time in 2014. I absolutely love my truck. It's a lifted, automatic 4WD with front and back towing pkg, and perfect for the mountain roads and snow where I live. Less than a month after I bought it I had to travel 300 miles to tucson and the transmission went out, didn't have the money to get it fixed so I transferred my job and started over in tucson. After much deliberation with the dealer, they finally had the transmission rebuilt. They gave me a 300 mi warranty (all I needed to get back to tucson) and less than a week after I got home, the fuel pump went out. So I let the truck sit for 2 months before I got it fixed. I came across enough money to get me and my children out of dv situation and proceeded to drive them to Michigan. Made it to ok and it was completely burned out again. I always have routine maintenance done, I do understand how to use an automatic 4WD, I don't push my vehicle too hard. I made it to Michigan but here it is winter and I have a truck in ok that I love and am still paying for and can't use, and do not understand why the transmission keeps going out and in the mean time I have 2 kids and one on the way and can't afford to fix my truck or get a new one. I was told there was a recall on my transmission, but cannot find one. Please let me know if there is anything I need to know or can do.
1997 Tahoe had a stick substance in the cargo area. The black rubber piece that is attached to the iron bar that the tire is mounted to has been melting and dripping into the cargo area. The substance was very strong and made the consumer feel sick while driving the vehicle.
Over the past 2 years have had multiple incidents of low speed brake failure/inadequate braking, especially on down hill grades. Parking lots. Feels like ABS is malfunctioning. Multiple mechanics have worked on system, all relate it to ABS malfunctions. Awaiting info on ne recall due to salt corrosion affecting ABS. News media stated the entire system would have to be replaced to correct situation. Only luck has prevented an accident so far.
My anti-lock brakes kick in when applying the brakes at slow speeds. This happened last year and we had the parts replaced on one side (but don't remember the exact date). It is now happening again, and we believe the other side needs replacement. Also had the problem one time when I was just going slow in a parking lot and not applying brakes. Also having a problem with engine knock. Mechanic said it was a defect with the cyclinder.
Odometer fraud. I purchased a vechicle and later found out that the miles have been rolled back almost 100,000 miles. I would like information on how to proceede in filing both criminal and civil charges against the responsible party.
