problem #3

  • 35,015 miles
A scheduled oil change on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe revealed broken metal pieces. Cormier Chevrolet who is my service/purchase dealer determined that the debris came from 3 broken rocker arms. Cormier made the necessary repairs under warranty, however, 3 months later the same problem manifested itself again. This time cormier replaced all 16 rocker arms, but I had to pay a $100 deductible. I feel the necessary repairs were caused by defective assembly and/or parts. Especially when my vehicle is driven 98% of the time on local roads only, and has just 35,015 total miles and was purchased brand new.

When starting the vehicle, check engine light comes on and dash says reduced engine power. Vehicle will only drive about 15 miles per hour. Upon researching this through various internet websites, this same problem has and is happening to a huge amount of 2003 Tahoe owner's and it's always a faulty wiring harness problem - yet GM refuses to acknowledge there is a problem. On a side note, headlights have always been very dim.
