Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING WHEN OUR 99 CHEVY TAHOE LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT A FUSE WAS BLOWN (20 ECM-B FUSE). HE DID NOT KNOW WHY AND STATED THAT IT WAS UNCOMMON FOR THIS PARTICULAR FUSE TO BLOW. WE HAD THE FUSE REPLACED AND DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM UNTIL JUNE 26, 2005. AGAIN, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. I REPLACED THE 20 ECM-B FUSE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT A MILE WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ONCE AGAIN. I AGAIN REPLACED THE FUSE, TURNED OFF ALL THE POWER IN THE CAB (NO RADIO, NO A/C) AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE NEXT 5 MILES TO MY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
