“On 12/27/06 I purchased my chevy Tahoe 2003 I had complete 4x4 service on 12/14/06 as recommended by the dealer as required maintenance for 90,000 miles and to maintain the warranty.

The incident occurred in a main road with significant traffic - it had the potential to be a safety issue as I was making a left hand turn when the incident occurred. 4l60 transmission.”

I can see another Tahoe coming down the road and one of the running lights is always out. …”
