2005 Chevrolet Tahoe LS review from North America
"Fantastic truck. The Tahoe is the greatest made Chevy. Like A Rock"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering column tightened at 14k miles by dealer.
Factory radio replaced by dealer at 14k miles.
Cloths seats show wear at 85k miles; standard wear and tear.
First brake job front and rear at 85k miles.
Service tire monitor light on at 85k miles.
Think rear strut might need to be replaced at 85k.
Routine maintenance 36k radiator flush, and fuel injector service and fuel filter replaced.
Serpentine belt and accessory belt replaced at 85k miles.
AC Delco Battery replaced at 84k miles for $100.
5-7k routine oil change use synthetic oil.
General comments?
Went offroading at 30k miles very fun.
Drove in the Houston bayous at 45k miles, also fun. Got out easily in the mud, and only have 2WD.
Drove in hurricane rains and storms at 75mph; stable and no hydroplaning, very safe. Drove in foot deep water and never got stuck.
Onstar service is great at times where the battery ran down and I had to get jumpstarted, or when I got into serious accident.
I bought the car for comfort. I am in the car 6 hours a day sometimes. A/C blows ice cold, never had problems.
