“Air bag light is activated. I have had my 2000 Tahoe ls in for service to correct this problem once already, but after about 2 months the light is back on. I felt I needed to file this report because of several articles I have read on this subject. I have read everything from air bags will not deploy, to air bags will deploy for no reason at all,both of which should be considered unacceptable and dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10274989, filed 2009-06, 43,902 miles“My 2000 Tahoe caught a fire - it started cranking by itself w/o the keys in it and then flames started shooting out of the drivers side of the SUV and burnt that side of the dashboard and busted the windshield. I was able to put the fire out with 2 fire ext. And a water hose. I had to jerk the cables from the battery to get it to quit cranking. And if you connect them back it will start cranking again w/o the keys. I was not having any problems with it and I don't know how it could start by itself w/o keys or anyone in the SUV. …”

NHTSA complaint #10000243, filed 2002-12, 32,000 miles“A co-worker and I went to a christian book store during lunch on thursday, march 19, 2009, we left our office at 12:30 pm. We arrived at the store approximately 12:50 pm. We went into the store, we weren't in the store 10 minutes and my alarm was going off on my 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. I tried to unlock & relock the truck because I thought it was just a fluke. I looked out the window of the store and saw a little smoke coming from the hood (near the windshield). I thought maybe it was overheating (we never had any trouble with overheating in the past), fire never entered my mind for a second. …”
NHTSA complaint #10262659, filed 2009-03, 105,000 miles“The ABS caught on fire. Lost brakes and all brake fluid, no police reports because it was in my alley way as soon as I started moving, when it happened the ABS and brake lights both came on at the same time. No prior warning.”
