The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe. Over the years, the vehicle experienced several electrical failures, including the instrument panel lighting malfunctioning. The failure made it difficult to view the gauge information. In addition, the turn signals would only operate when the fog lights were activated, and the rear windshield wiper malfunctioned. The vehicle was taken to gilcrest Chevrolet (6030 S. Tacoma way, Tacoma, wa) where the rear window motor and instrument panel were replaced; however, the failures eventually recurred. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 10,000.. consumer stated dash light replace multi windshield wiper and replaced passenger seat heater.

Shift indicator does not illuminate. Called dealership in reference to the 05V055000 recall that I assumed was applicable to all Tahoe 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.

Rear lift gate will not unlock and it doesn't have a manual release inside nor does it have a key access from outside the vehicle to unlock it. If involved in an accident/wreck someone could be trapped in the vehicle with no way out. Shift indicator light in dash does not illuminate - unable to tell what gear the vehicle is in. Extreme safety hazards! Chevy should be held responsible and issue a recall to prevent someone from being injured.

Poor quality electrical to exterior lamps (brakes/signals/headlights) causes them to go out even when the bulb is still good. Have replaced bulbs in excess of "normal". safety concern regarding assumption that all lamps are working (especially when recently replaced) only to find out through law enforcement or other motorists that one or multiple lamps are not functioning. Event has occurred multiple times and without warning. Incidental observation of vehicles of similar make/model on the road indicate this is a common problem. Also, conversations with auto parts stores indicate this is a common problem with this vehicle type. Remedied by replacing bulbs and/or re-seating bulb in socket.

The 3rd brake light is an led type and is inoperable. I have noticed that a number of same style Chevy Tahoe have the same problem. Nothing has been done at this point to rectify the problem.
