2002 Chevrolet Tahoe LS review from North America
"Disappointing quality for low mileage on vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced under warranty: Transmission pump and associated parts necessary to rebuild automantic transmission (39,000 miles)
Oxygen sensor (45,000 miles)
Front and rear axle pinion seals (49,000 miles)
Leather seat on driver side cracked and coming apart.
Fuel level sensor in fuel tank acting erratically and going out after extended warranty ran out at 60,000 miles (of course!). Dealer and manufacturer's customer no-service rep. says fuel level sensor normal wear and tear item (at 61,000 miles??). Dealer says $570 to replace fuel level sensor.
General comments?
Too bad cheap quality leather is used on GM vehicles at 60,000 plus miles.
My VW Passat has 117,000 miles and the leather is wearing like iron, no cracks or signs of excess wear.
