A few weeks ago i was traveling down hwy 60 in southwest missouri and the "reduced engine power" light came on. The vehicle immediately slowed to about 4-5 miles per hour and i was unable to accelerate. I crawled to the next exit where i barely made it up the incline and into a gas station. We checked the gas, oil, battery, etc. I turned off the vehicle and when i started it up again, it seemed fine. I continued…

On 3/28/14 i began noticing strong gas fumes coming from my vehicle. I again took it it in and…

I was driving down one of the busy roads in manatee county, and the back hatch glass of my 2004 chevy tahoe blew off of my car. It went air born and landed in the south bound lane almost on top of a car. If the car had not slammed on its brakes and swerved, it could have killed someone. I contacted the dealership, and the will not fix the problem. The hinges are still attached to my vehicle and the insurance company…

I have a 2004 chevy tahoe z71. The speedometer recently quit working. The mileage keeps accumulating but the speed does not show. I know of several other owners with the same problem. This would seem to be a huge safety concern. The chevy dealer tells me the fix is about 200 dollars and they must keep the car for up to a week to send the module back to factory. I can assume most people are like me and cannot do…

2004 chevrolet tahoe, speedometer registered incorrect speed and slowly stopped working. I called the chevrolet dealer, and they knew exactly what was wrong, and told me it would cost $500.00 to fix it.

I drive a 2004 tahoe ls. I am a salesman and drive quite a bit and have racked up around 95,000 miles to this day. While driving, about a year ago, i noticed my speedometer acting erratically. The needle would jump or lurch past each number as it ascended through the numbers on the speedometer. It was more noticeable in the 55 to 75mph range. The speed was still accurate so i viewed it as a non-issue. However, as…

Whenever i try to accelerate the car does not respond. This is a safety issue, for example when i try to merge on to the freeway. Chevy stated that the car is performing as it should. I have driven other identical cars, that do not have the same problem. But they refuse to fix the safety issue.ui. *ak
