The dash for the past year will work for a month or two, then go out for a month or two. I can not read any of my dash gauges. I can't tell how fast I'm going or how much gas I have etc. I have read where numerous other Tahoe owners have experienced the same issue. It is very annoying and not safe for my teenage son to drive. With as many complaints as have been filed, can we get a recall?

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 55-60 mph on normal road conditions, the four wheel drive activated without assistance. The four wheel drive mechanism failed to respond when the contact attempted to deactivate the system. The four wheel drive warning indicator illuminated intermittently on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection, but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. Recently, the front driver's and passenger side seats failed to recline backwards. In addition, there was water leaking from the sunroof near the passenger side sun visor. Finally, the passenger side power window and heated seat failed to operate. The VIN and mileages were unknown.

Chevrolet Tahoe. Swerved to miss a dog at 35 mph and lost control. Car very unstable. The faster the speed, the harder it is to control. You have to be on the steering every second. If it is windy out, it will slide over to another lane without notice. Car very top heavy. Reported this to dealer in medford, Oregon and they said that is was normal. Normal to lose control so easily?? purchased new and only had 4,800 miles on it and sold it that day. I am a very good driver, no tickets or accidents and driving over 45 years. If my wife had been driving or a car had been coming the other way, someone would have been killed. If this had happened at 60 to 70 mph, a certain roll over would have happened. Car very unsafe.
