My 04 z71 tahoe has started to "run out of gas" even when it's got plenty in the tank. When I changed the fuel filter underneath on the drivers side, I tried to blow thruogh the old one and couldn't. I figured the new one would solve the problem but 20 miles down the road the engine shut down again. It started back up after a few minutes only to shut down after another 15-20 miles (and so on for the next 80 miles home. I need help, advice,or a grenade. Any suggestions on what to check next?

I have an 07 Tahoe, purchased OCT 06. I had planned to take it to the dealer this past Monday for Oil, tire rotation and check out what I believed was slipping in the transmission on start. Making a long story short, as I was coming home on Sunday night, I accelerated from a stop at a red light. Normal acceleration, nothing hard and at 30-35 mph, bang and thatt was all she wrote. Lost all forward drive. After pulling over, I discovered that I had reverse and could only go forward in first gear. 2,3, and D nothing. I searched tahoe trannys on the web from my phone and found this site. Sorry I am not the only one with this same story. Good news. Roadside assistance is spot on. Within 1 hour, my tahoe had been towed to the nearest dealer. NDM

Replying to: ndmatte (Mar 19, 2008 5:05 am) _____________________________________________________________________ Gee, what a surprise! Another failed transmission on a new GM SUV. As I have said many times on this forum.....they don't build 'em like they used to. Oh sure, they give you DVD, Nav, Bose stereo, fold up power seats, heated mirrors, leather seats, expensive wheels and tires, big buck clear coat paint jobs, etc but somewhere along the line GM forgot that most SUV buyers would like to have a dependable vehicle that starts and stops and can do some work on occaision. And a vehicle where the transmissions and fuel pumps actually perform like they should. Dream on. |
