problem #1

Jul 012012

Tahoe Z71 2WD 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

The door locked right before vacation and could not open it to load up. Friday afternoon and no one could fix it. Had to load back in from back seats. My son got it unlocked a few weeks later by removing the door panel and doing something to a spring. It worked for a couple of weeks and locked up again after I locked the car a few times. Ridicus that you can't lock your car or it might not unlock and you have a miserable vacation because of cheap chevy parts. I have to borrow a vehicle to transport things I should be able to use the Tahoe for. That isn't all:

Hyrdraulics won't hold door up

Blower motor resistor out... blower stays on and won't shut off, have to pull fuse

air bag light comes off and on

phone charger port blows fuses.

I have 135k miles now and this has been going on for several years. Emailed Chevy and they offer no assistance.
