Shift indicator does not illuminate. Called dealership in reference to the 05v055000 recall that i assumed was applicable to all tahoes with the same problem. Service tech inicated that my vin was not part of the recall. Seems that the recall should be expanded to include all of the same vehicles since the problem seems to affect the all.

When releasing the emergency brake i heard a loud snapping noise. I noticed that the release lever was very lose and my emergency brake had not fully disengaged. I had just picked my kids up from school when this happened. I was still able to drive at a slow speed with an annoying chime going off since the break had not fully disengaged. My husband being a mechanic looked at the release lever when he pulled on it…

I started the vehicle and put the transmission into drive and started to roll when the brake pedal went to the floor. I engaged the emergency brake to stop and thankfully stopped the tahoe before hitting anyone or any other vehicle in the lot. Looking at the owners manual and the dash lights,…

Approximately 1 year ago the gear shift indicator began to be dimmer than the other dash displays. The dealership said nothing was wrong. Since then it is now no longer visible and it is not possible to visually determine what gear the vehicle is in. I have been told that it is not covered under gm recall 05023 (nhtsa 05v055000). *js

Have had mystery coolant leak for some time and after months of losing antifreeze i find out that it is very likely that i have a cracked head due to poor casting. A problem that general motors is fully aware of. I think that the manufacturer should have issued a recall long ago to remedy this problem. *tr

Around may of last year it started happening more often, as i was driving the truck would suddenly stop and turn off on its own after traction warning came on. Also after having stopped at a traffic light the traction warning would come on when…
