2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has Firestone Wilderness AT tires on it. They are 16 inch and there is no recall on them, but I don't feel safe.
Tie rod fell off at 40 miles per hour on a busy street.
General comments?
After the tie rod fell off, the vehicle was not steerable. Somehow we got stopped without wrecking or hitting someone or something. I took pictures and there was still grease on the threads of the tie rod. The nut had never been installed.
I filed a report with the National Transportation and Safety Board, and with Chevrolet. I never have received any kind of a response from anyone. What worries me most is am I the only one who never got the nut installed or are there other Tahoe's out there with a possibility of this hapenning to them? Chevrolet was good at fixing it, but what if I had been on Highway 5 driving at 70?
