2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE Service Brakes Problems

THERE IS A RECALL #04004. "BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE" BUT MY VIN# IS NOT ON THE LIST. OVER 64,000 VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED AND THERE IS A "#1" ON THE MOUNTING SURFACE. ALL OF THE UNITS DETECTED A MACHINING ERROR IN THE RELIEF BORE CAVITY FOR MODULES PRODUCED FROM A MACHINE IDENTIFIED AS "FADAL #1" THIS CAN AND HAS CAUSED MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE TO HAVE NO POWER ASSIST WITH MY STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF HOLDING TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A RED LIGHT. AND CAN NOT OPERATE IN SMALL SPACES SUCH AS PARKING GARAGES AND CERTAIN PARKING STALLS. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAT I CAN DO IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND FIND OUT IF THERE IS SOME MISTAKE AS FAR AS MY VIN# NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BUT YET EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY VEHICLE HAS BECOME INOPERABLE FOR THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE NO POWER ASSIST AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT...I WANT TO SEE ABOUT RECEIVING SOME AID IN ALL THIS. THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE SINCE AUGUST OF 2019. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO LOSE WORK FOR A LACK OF TRANSPORTATION. MY CREDIT HAS FALLEN BEHIND BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND SPENDING MY SAVINGS ON TRYING TO GUESS AT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. FOR IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. NOW THAT THE COVID-19 IS HERE IS A DOUBLE WHAMY! IN DIRE STRAITS - CALI LOVIN MY 4X4 - [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, "STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED- SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF A DRIVE-THRU AREA OF A BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V045000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH AND A KID RAN OUT BETWEEN TWO CARS AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY PARTIALLY FAILED. THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY STOPPED, BUT IMMEDIATELY GOT A BRAKE FAILURE WARNING AND I HAD TO HOLD THE PEDDLE TO THE WALL TO STOP THE REMAINING MILE OR SO HOME. I GET HOME AND LOOK UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR TO INVESTIGATE A PUDDLE AND I SEE SMOKE WHERE THE RUPTURED BRAKE LINE HAD BEEN SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THOUGHT FOR SURE THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. THE BRAKES WERE JUST SERVICED, PADS AND ROTORS A YEAR OR SO AGO, SO I HAD NO CLUE THE LINES WERE BAD. JUST GOT HOME TO SEARCH ON THIS AND SEE THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS, BUT NOT MUCH HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS SINCE 2014. VERY DISTRESSING. SEEMS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS GM IS OFFERING THE REPLACEMENT LINES FOR SALE, BUT NO MENTION THAT THE DEALERS WANT $2,000 OR MORE TO INSTALL THEM?? I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS KID IS STILL ALIVE AND WE BOTH DID NOT HAVE TO ENDURE A DEATH DUE TO THE CLOSE CALL. HOWEVER, I'M EXTREMELY DISTURBED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MILLIONS OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE ROAD AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE WITH THIS TICKING TIME BOMB. EVERY SINGLE SUCH AFFECTED TRUCK WILL EVENTUALLY RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED. GM IS CLEARLY NOT ADDRESSING THIS OR EVEN WARNING PEOPLE OF THE HIDDEN PROBLEM. WHY WON'T YOU GUYS DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BIG PROBLEM? YOU'VE KNOW ABOUT THIS FOR 4 YEARS AND NOTHINGS BEEN DONE? I'M SHOCKED, THAT GM HAS BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ALL RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO A MFRS DEFECT BY USING CHEAP AND INFERIOR PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT HOLD UP IN THE NORTHERN CLIMATES. COATED BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE MANDATED!!! JUST CAME BACK FROM THE NEXT PAGE TO QUALIFY: NO CRASH - BY ABOUT 1 FOOT. NO FIRE - VERY LUCKY. NO INJURY/FATALITY - THIS VERY CLOSE! I WOULD LIKE A CALL BACK.

WAS AT CHEVY DEALER TO LOOK FOR A NEW CAR, WHEN LEAVING PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR GOT OUT AND FOUND FLUID ON GROUND UNDER DRIVER SIDE.

ON 11-11-15 I WAS SITTING AT AN ATM WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. LIMPED TO OUR MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF $580. ON 5-28-17 MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND WAS LETTING MY SON OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND YET AGAIN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. GOT THE VEHICLE HOME, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ONLY 2" OF FLUID WAS LEFT, CHECKED BRAKE LINES AND FOUND RUSTED OUT PLACES WITH FLUID LEAKING OUT. GOT THE VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC, SAME ONE THAT REPLACED THE FRONT LINES, HE ADVISED THE SAME PROBLEM, RUSTED OUT LINES. ESTIMATE TO REPLACE REAR LINES $540. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A "FLAW" WITH THAT YEAR TAHOE AND PICK UP TRUCKS. MY QUESTION IS IF THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE BRAKE LINES WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED??? IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM, NO BRAKES IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION!!!!!!! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE BRAKING SYSTEM EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC AND INSTANT FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO CRASH INTO AN EMBANKMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. DURING THE CRASH, THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A RIGHT KNEE INJURY THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO CORROSION AND RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

BRAKE LINE BLEW WITHOUT WARNING. APPROACHING STOP SIGNAL AND WAS SLOWING DOWN BY BRAKING AND THEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I SWERVED INTO LEFT TURNING LANE TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND TRAVELED HALFWAY THROUGH THE BUSY INTERSECTION BEFORE STOPPING. PROCEEDED INTO LOT OF NEARBY CONVENIENCE. BRAKE FLUID POOLED UNDER CAR. COULD HEAR AIR COMING OUT OF BRAKE LINE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED.

I WAS TRAVELING TOWARDS HOME AROUND 45 MPH IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ATTEMPTED A NON-SIGNALED RIGHT HAND TURN AND THEN CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD. I APPLIED MY BRAKES IN A MANNER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR AS SHE DECIDED WHAT SHE WAS GOING DO. THE PEDAL WAS FIRM AT FIRST, THEN COMPLETELY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. THIS RESULTED IN ME TAKING AN OFF ROAD ADVENTURE THROUGH SOMEONES YARD AND BACK ONTO THE ROAD TO AVOID SLAMMING THE CAR IN FRONT ME AS SHE REGAINED HER SENSE AGAIN. I SLOWLY CREPT HOME AND SPIT A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID ALONG THE WAY. THE HARD BRAKE LINES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SO CORRODED WITH RUST AND I FOUND THE FRONT FEED LINE INTO THE ABS MODULE HAD BURST FROM THE CORROSION AND USE OF CHEAP FACTORY LINES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE 11 YEARS AGO GM DECIDED CHEAPER BRAKE LINE MATERIAL IN 2004 IS BETTER THAN MY LIFE IN 2015. NOW I FIND THAT THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED AND THEY ARE BLAMING "MAINTENANCE" AS THE CAUSE. IN ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED, NOT A SINGLE ONE HAD TO HAVE A HARD BRAKE LINE REPLACED. IT'S JUST NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A MATERIAL AND PRODUCER FLAW THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. IT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE.

Mileage: 136,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST MY REAR BRAKES. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO STEER ON TO THE SHOULDER TO AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE/DOWN SHIFTING TO CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED. I NARROWLY AVOIDED 3 OTHER VEHICLES. THIS FAILURE WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON THE STEEL BRAKE LINE RUNNING TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN AFTER FREQUENTLY INSPECTING MY BRAKE LINES, THE ROUTING OF THIS LINE IN PARTICULAR MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS ISSUE, WHICH IS WIDELY KNOWN, HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

WHILE AWAY FROM HOME AND TOWING MY BOAT I STARTED TO LOSE BRAKING POWER AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP. THE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE LINES AND POOR QUALITY OF THE COMPONENTS AND THE WAY THEY ROUTE THEM THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THAT NEITHER I OR ANYONE ELSE WAS INJURED.

TRAVELLING NORTH ON STATE ROUTE 741 WITH MY FAMILY OF 6. WE BEGAN TO SLOW FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE. AT ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING AND WHEN I APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE THE BRACKET FASTENING IT TO THE FRAME BROKE AS WELL. THE TRUCK WAS GAINING SPEED WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AT ALL. I PUT IT INTO A DITCH DOING 60 MPH. IT TOOK ME 1.5 MILES TO FINALLY GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. TOOK IT TO A GARAGE THEY REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES TWO REAR CALIPERS, MASTER CYCLINDER, AND HYDRO BOOST CANISTER. HOW DO ALL THESE PARTS FAIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BRACKET BREAK AWAY FROM FRAME TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE? APPARENTLY THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE IS TO MUCH FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM TO EFFECTIVELY STOP THIS VEHICLE. I AM TOLD BY A DEALER THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLE. I AM VERY MAD ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. THIS VEHICLE WAS AT CHEVROLET DEALER IN BELLEFONTAINE OHIO 11 MONTHS AGO FOR A FULL INSPECTION AND NOTHING WAS FOUND EXCEPT AN INNER TIE ROD THAT NEEDED REPLACED. HOW??? WITHOUOT PRIOR WARNING CAN ALL THESE COMPONENTS IN A BRAKEING SYSTEM FAIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. THERE WAS ZERO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING AND TRUCK MILEAGE IS BELOW NATIONAL AVERAGE. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. SERIOUSLY CONCERNED OWNER!

DRIVING VEHICLE ON LOCAL STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT STOP SIGN. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TOTALLY TO THE FLOOR AND LOST ALL BRAKES. UNABLE TO STOP I NARROWLY MISSED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS ALREADY IN THE INTERSECTION. CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AGAINST CURB ON OTHER SIDE OF INTERSECTION. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT BOTH REAR BRAKE LINES HAD COMPLETELY BLOWN UNDERNEATH DRIVERS DOOR. THEY WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS ISSUE AND FOUND QUITE A FEW STORIES DEVOTED TO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IMAGINE IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 15 MPH IF THIS EVENT HAD OCCURRED. I ALSO HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THROUGH EMAIL. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH SON IN CAR WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES DOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY SHE HAD ROOM TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THE STOPPED CAR WHILE CONTINUING TO PUMP BRAKES COMING TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THANK GOD NO HARM WAS DONE TO HER OR MY CHILD. 2 BRAKE LINES HAS BEEN RUPTURED ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND WAS SPEWING BRAKE FLUID EVERYWHERE. ALL OF THE LINES CONNECTED TO THE ABS PUMP WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES, WHEN I DID THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE AND AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT AFTER PULLING OVER I OBSERVED BRAKE FLUID GUSHING OUT A RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED. VERY UNSAFE. I LIVE IN CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA AND THIS TYPE OF CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES IS TOTALLY UNSAFE. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVE-THRU AT MY LOCAL BANK I PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT THE WINDOW & THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS SOMEONE AT THE ATM & I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP BEFORE I RAN OVER THEM. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP & THEY TOLD ME BEFORE THEY PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHAT WAS PROBABLY WRONG WITH IT. RUSTED BRAKE LINE(S). I SAID SURELY NOT ON A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THEY SAID OH YEAH WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE A LOT OLDER VEHICLES AT HOME THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE INFERIOR MATERIALS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE TO SAVE A BUCK FOR THE COMPANY. *TR

CAME OUT OF THE MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I LEFT A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID DOWN THE STREET. WAS TOLD BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND COMPLETELY DETERIORATED. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND HAD TO STOP WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I EXPECT TO PAY SOME $600 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINE WHICH SHOULD CERTAINLY LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL/REIMBURSEMENT FOR OWNERS. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS FIXED, AND CAN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL -- THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN ANYTHING APPROACHING A SAFE MANNER. *TR

BRAKE LINE RUPTURE CAUSING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS SWITCHING THE CARS AROUND IN MY SINGLE WIDE DRIVE WAY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED ON MY VEHICLE.

APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING WHEN A VEHICLE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF ME. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CRASH BUT MY VEHICLE JUST BARELY CAME TO A STOP. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND FOUND ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON 3/28/14 I BEGAN NOTICING STRONG GAS FUMES COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I AGAIN TOOK IT IT IN AND FOUND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, ALL THE FUEL HOSES, AND THE STRAPS AND BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FUEL TANK WERE RUSTED OUT. I READ THAT NHTSA WAS DOING A STUDY OF THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND MY VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST BUT I OBSERVED A LOT OF RUST UNDER MY VEHICLE. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND A CRASH RECONSTRUCTIONIST AND THESE RUST ISSUES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH VEHICLES RESULTING IN CRASHES. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT EFFECTS CRUCIAL SYSTEMS LIKE THE BRAKES AND FUEL SYSTEMS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I WAS COMING TO A JUNCTION, APPLIED MY BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I WAS SLOWLY GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND A CAR WAS COMING TOWARDS ME, I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN FRONT OF HIM, TO AVOID HIM HITTING ME. I GOT TO THE MAIN JUNCTION WHICH IS ON A HILL AND I PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES AND IT FINALLY STOPPED. I DROVE 2 MILES AN HOUR FOR ABOUT 100 FT AND TURNED INTO A GAS STATION. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WHILE WAITING FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE TOW TRUCK MAN GOT UNDER THE CAR AND SAID ALL MY BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND LEAKING.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS TRAVELING DOWN HWY 60 IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO ABOUT 4-5 MILES PER HOUR AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I CRAWLED TO THE NEXT EXIT WHERE I BARELY MADE IT UP THE INCLINE AND INTO A GAS STATION. WE CHECKED THE GAS, OIL, BATTERY, ETC. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I STARTED IT UP AGAIN, IT SEEMED FINE. I CONTINUED HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT IT ALL CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED 12-15 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE TELLS ME THAT THE COMPUTER IS NOT "THROWING CODES" AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS NOT A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. THE MOST RECENT "EPISODE" WAS LAST NIGHT. WE TOOK THE BOAT DOWN TO THE RIVER TO GO GIGGING AT NIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO PULL THE TRAILER UP THE BOAT RAMP AND PARK THE VEHICLE, THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND I COULD NOT PULL UP THE HILL. EVERY TIME I ATTEMPTED IT, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I ACTUALLY WENT BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE RIVER!! MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS SCARED WE WOULD BE TRAPPED IT SOMETHING FURTHER MALFUNCTIONED AND WE ROLLED BACK INTO THE DEEP COLD WATER!!! FROM WHAT I HAVE NOW RESEARCHED GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY HAS NOT BEEN DEALT WITH! I AM NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE BEAUTIFUL BOYS AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. I CANNOT PUT THEM IN A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. SO OUR ONLY VEHICLE SITS AND WAITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY LEAVING ME STRANDED A LOT UNTIL GM CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION ON THEIR DIME. THIS ISN'T FAIR THAT A PROBLEM IS KNOW AND NO ONE AT GM WILL FIX IT. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES! *TR
