2004 Chevrolet Tahoe LT from North America - Comments

Very loud pinging noise from exhaust system when sitting idle or after shutting the vehicle off.

Clicking noise from steering wheel when making sharp turn.

Memory settings not saving.

GM is aware of the exhaust problem and admits it is not normal. They are working on a fix, but nothing can be done currently to fix the problem.

MY 2004 YUKON from North America.

Also.

1. Clicking noise when making sharp turns.

2. Has an extremely loud consistent pinging noise coming from exhaust. I can here this noise from 50 feet away. Dealer told me that there is nothing they could do and that this was NORMAL. This is very hard to digest.

And.

3. Fuel Gage not properly registering.

4. Constant message to tighten my fuel cap, even when the cap is tight. Dealer said this is also normal because the computer is too sensitive. This is also hard to digest.

5. Currently on my 3rd CD player. Makes grinding noise when you put CD IN. Also, says CAL ERR when turning it on.

My 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe sounds like it has glass pack mufflers on it. The engine noise inside the vehicle is so loud it drives you nuts on a trip. Dealer says this is normal. I also have a 2001 Tahoe that is not like this at all. So something has changed between 2001 and 2004 but I find it hard to accept. Any advise? djmorgan@sbcglobal.net.

Hello,

I have an answer to your pinging exhaust and Memory Seats, I have owned Chevy Tahoe's since 1996, and belive it or not, they all have made a pinging noise in the exhaust, that's just the way they're made! About your memory seats, when I bought mine at the end of 2004, mine did the same thing, but when I set the easy exit seat to come on, I stopped having that problem. But you have to remember that when you get in, you have to press driver 1 or driver 2 in order for it to go back to its position. The reason it started working is because I was using it more often, and when you use it more often it will "stick" to it's position. May sound crazy, but it worked!

Hope this was helpful!
