1999 Chevrolet Tahoe review from North America
"I would buy another one.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, up until this week, everything has been smooth sailing. Then, I began to smell something "sweet" after I would drive. Well, to my surprise, it was a coolant leak. I was not able to find the exact place of the leak, so I replaced a few hoses and the thermostat, hoping that maybe the o-ring was worn. However, I have come to find out that it is the intake gasket. After reading the other comments on the site, I see that it is a common problem. I will be getting it fixed asap.
General comments?
I like the vehicle. It really is in good condition being a used purchase. I would recommend to someone needing extra room. Since it was used, I went ahead and replace the brakes, rotors, and callipers and also the alternator. That is not to say that any of those things had problems, but driving the vehicle with my kids around just makes me feel safe. I think it is a sounds investment and gives this mechanic chick something to do.. although the intake will cost about 1000.00 in parts and labor, its well worth it...
