Tahoe

  • 140,000 miles
I purchased my 1999 Chevy Tahoe in 2004 with 87,000 miles from original owner. I received all maintenance records from original owner, as well as original dealership price/option sticker. I noticed once over 100,000 miles there was an electrical malfunction or problem, like a power surge anytime the power window buttons are depressed and when I accelerate, there is a surge and when truck slows down or is in park, there is N surge. There is sudden energy! there is also a problem with the dashboard/radio and switch buttons below lights working. They have failed! electrical problems can cause fires and I have noticed it is not my Tahoe only with the same existing electrical problems, as I have been looking for a second vehicle, as I have my kids both of driving age and my 1999 Tahoe ls is my only vehicle. I feel safe on the road in my Tahoe. I love the four wheel drive option, as I live in Minnesota and I could not live without it over the winter months! I am also very proud to point out, my Tahoe has 343,000+ miles on it and still going strong!!!! I can not afford a new Tahoe, as I am on a fixed disability income now, so I am shopping for a 1999 or newer at a reasonable price. I am satisfied with all the years I have driven mine and hope to get many more years out of it. People are amazed when I tell them how many miles are actual miles on my Tahoe. I am amazed, as well. :) [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Cruise control automatically engaged without anyone activating the cruise control device, whatever speed that was accelerated to was automatically engaged with the cruise control, when the brakes were applied the cruise control did not disengage as it should.
