problem #4

Dec 271998

Tahoe 4WD

  • miles
The turn signals quit working at the dealer and they never did pin-point it. The 4WD system engaged on it's own at 75 mph and the trans, cut out resulting in no power and then it returned but the 4WD system was gone. The barkes failed and then started working ok. The parking brake was in need of adjustment every 2000 miles. The ABS would kick in for no reason.
