2005 Chevrolet Tahoe Power Train

The gear shifting doesn’t seem to grab properly all the time. It will lurch into gear sometimes and sometime won’t engage in the gear indicated. The indicator lights dimmed and now don’t illuminate so you don’t know what gear you are in. It seems like this is a specific recall to my vehicle but when I enter my vin it says my car is not affected. I hope this can be looked into and repaired under the recall.

HAVE HAD MYSTERY COOLANT LEAK FOR SOME TIME AND AFTER MONTHS OF LOSING ANTIFREEZE I FIND OUT THAT IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT I HAVE A CRACKED HEAD DUE TO POOR CASTING. A PROBLEM THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS FULLY AWARE OF. I THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL LONG AGO TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE, THAT HAS OVER 100,000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THE PEDAL WOULD STICK A LITTLE BIT, BUT I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ODD ABOUT THAT. (BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE MIGHT FOOT WASN'T ACCELERATING PROPERLY) THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING WITHOUT WARNING I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DRAG HORRIBLY. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHICH WAS FULL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AAMCO, THEY PLACED IT ON THE MACHINE AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK FINE, HOWEVER, WHEN THE MECHANIC DROVE THE VEHICLE HE DETERMINED IT WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE REPAIRS TOTAL @ $1800.00 WHICH I DON'T HAVE ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAY'S. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WHEN I LIVED IN GEORGIA IN 10/2006, IT HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME WITH NO VISIBLE ABUSE. *TR

THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR A WHILE AND I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE. I FOUND A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE ON YOUR WEBSITE, BUT GM REFUSES TO COVER THE DEFECT ON MY VIN. I RECENTLY ALMOST HIT SOMEONE BEING IN THE WRONG GEAR. THIS MATCHES A PREVIOUS RECALL ID OF 05V055000. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION ALTHOUGH GAS PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. WHEN I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL, THE GEAR ENGAGED AND VEHICLE CONTINUED FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE REPEATING SAME SYMPTOM. VEHICLE DID NOT FIX ITSELF. SAFELY COASTED TO SHOULDER OF FREEWAY. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. LET IT SIT A MOMENT AND SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE OFF FREEWAY AND TO SAFE LOCATION, BUT IT CONTINUED TO SLIP FROM GEAR. IT FINALLY STUCK IN 1ST GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT UP. *TR

MY 2005 LEASED CHEVY TAHOE HAD APPROXIMATELY 49,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE WAS NO FOREWARNING. THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY RIGHT UP TO THE MINUTE THE TRANSMISSION LET GO. I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN A GEAR EXPLODED AND THE CAR WAS LEFT WITH ONLY FIRST AND THIRD GEAR. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A DEALER AND GM REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE WE HAD NOT TAKEN THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS FURIOUS BECAUSE AFTER INSPECTING THE TORN DOWN TRANSMISSION, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS NO ABUSE TO THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE GEAR HAD SHATTERED INSIDE THE HOUSING (I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION). I FIRST CALLED THE GM SERVICE 1800 NUMBER AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANYTHING. AFTER A WEEK OF SPEAKING TO AGENTS AND SUPERVISORS, I WAS GIVEN THE NAME OF THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER DISTRICT MANAGER. I CONTACTED HIM AND AFTER INVESTIGATING, HE OFFERED TO PAY HALF THE COST (TOTAL COST ESTIMATED TO BE $3200). I LET THE CAR SIT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 21 DAYS WHILE I FOUGHT WITH THESE PEOPLE. FINALLY, THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING BUT THE DEALERSHIP LABOR. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD GUARANTEE THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION THEY WERE INSTALLING FOR ANOTHER 100,000 MILES - THAT WAS OF NO CONCERN TO ME SINCE IT IS A LEASED VEHICLE I WILL BE GETTING RID OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I PAID APPROXIMATELY $450 FOR THE REPAIRS AND PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER 28 DAYS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STICK TO YOUR ARGUMENT AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP, YOU CAN BARGAIN BECAUSE THEY KNOW DEEP DOWN IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD LAST LONGER ON A $38,000 VEHICLE. IF I WASN'T 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME, I WOULD HAVE LET THE VEHICLE SIT THERE UNTIL THEY PAID FOR EVERYTHING. PS - IT WAS A BOY!! *TR

INTERMITTENT 4WD INDICATOR LIGHT AND FAILURE TO ENGAGE. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATED TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE DRIVING THE WHEELS INTERMITTENTLY LOCKED. THE DEALER REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION TO TRY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT COMPLETELY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL STILL SLIP FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT MANUALLY BEING CHANGED. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM.*AK
