2002 Chevrolet Tahoe Electrical system Problems

“During the past seven years, at random intervals ranging from days, months and years, my Tahoe will not start. I have had it checked by a Chevrolet dealer and an independent automotive shop. They are unable to replicate the problem. This happens when I stop the vehicle to get gas, park it to go shopping or to a doctor's office. I never know if it is going to start or not. I fear for the safety of my wife and son when they are operating the Tahoe in case this happens to them. At first, I thought it was just my vehicle. …”

“I am the original owner of a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe that experienced ABS cut-in at low speeds in dry weather in 2005 and was recalled under campaign 05v379000 / NHTSA action number : pe05020. The cut-in problem has recently returned, with exact same symptoms as before. I called GM as the original recall no longer appears to be in effect, but they do not appear to be willing/able to cover any repairs against that recall despite the corrosion treatment and lubrication obviously not being a permanent fix. …”

“Purchased the truck brand new in 2002 and have had nothing but hell from it. We've had several issues, several breakdowns and stranded moments on the highway due to something malfunctioned in the fuel system that even chevy couldn't figure out. It's been unreliable and given us hell the entire time we've owned it. We've dumped thousands $$ into repairs in the last 15 years. Most recently a new transmission after it went out on us towing a small trailer with a tow package that couldn't tow. We've dumped enough money into this truck to have purchased another truck brand new. …”

“It started on oct. 15, 2013, I went outside o start my truck and it would not start I had to get a jump for it to turn over. It happens everyday. I replaced the battery as well as the starter recently. I have to put it on charge every other night since something in the electrical system is causing it to drain. I have yet to find out what. There is nothing left on at night or when I park it during the day. I am trying to find out if there is a possible wiring issue that is causing something to kick back on & run when it is not started. …”

“Due to the error in the fuel gauge(indicating more fuel than the vehicle had) the vehicle ran out of fuel on the interstate with my entire familty on board. This could have been a serious accident as I was unable to exit the freeway and was not given a low fuel indicator light. This error in fuel level could have resulted in serious injury and I request a oem recall to correct gauge or sensor errors, our fuel gauge is still not displaying accurate readings, we do not trust the gaure anylonger. We have also seen wild gauge swings/listings at random intervals”
