1998 Chevrolet Tahoe LT review from North America
"With the exception of the annoying "Service Engine Soon" light, I wish I had a fleet of these!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My water pump went between 100k and 125k.
Two oxygen sensors went not long after that.
Tie rods needed replacing about the same time as the oxygen sensors.
The "Service Engine Soon" light has been on and off constantly over the past 4 years.
General comments?
I love the spaciousness, safety that its size affords my wife and kids, and I absolutely love the power in the big V-8. It has never, ever stranded us and has started everyday since we have had it.
