2004 Chevrolet Tahoe LT review from North America
"Poor quality, Poor GM Service for such a high price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
9,000 miles. Gauge cluster replaced, now going bad again. Intermediate shaft replaced, making noise again. Window pillar trim made cracking noise and was bowed, they replaced and it's bowed and noisier than ever. Exhaust pops, replaced heat shield still pops they say it's normal. Headlights flicker on and off when stablitrack kicks in. Took in 5 times they say nothing is wrong.
Brakes crack, but they say nothing is wrong. Service 4x4 light comes on, but again they say nothing is wrong.
Stabilitrack kicks in when it shouldn't and stays engaged for long periods.
Front springs are creaking. A/C is making a terrible noise from behind climate control box and under the hood.
Engine sounds like something is rattling around in the bottom. At first they cleaned oil pump pick up tube then 2nd time told me noise was normal.
I've had this in the shop 6 times and not 1 thing has been fixed. Contacted GM and they are no help. Warranty is about to run out and I only have 18,000 miles. on it.
General comments?
I do love my Tahoe, but for the extremely high price I paid of $46000 I expected more. The quality sucks for the price. We bought 2 Toyota's new both at a cost below $22000 and never once had them in the shop! They were just to small.
