Keeps loosing power and staking while driving the brakes calipers are malfunctioning the fuel control module is being effective see there was a safety recall on this but my vehicle is listed dmfor make and model but not VIN but it's effective
We have had nothing but problems out of this tahoe. When driving the dash lights flash, door locks move up and down, speedometer will go to zero then back up to speed an so forth, the tahoe will start gearing down on its own, the air will go off, and the radio will flash on and off. The vehicle has even shut completely off before when going down the interstate. We have replaced the negative ground wires and the 175 amp mega fuse. Second vacation with this tahoe and still having problems!!!
