Potential Tahoe purchase

[mike1944]

I'm looking to buy a 2010-11 Tahoe this year, has anybody had any serious problems with them? Buy the way I have a 2002 Tahoe at 60.000 miles and runs good just think it's time to get a new truck.

2010 Denali, 17k, zero problems.

2011 Tahoe LTZ, 5500 miles, currently at the dealership having the fuel system module replaced. 5th time its been back to the dealership since delivery.

I don't believe he ever specified that it was certified by GM...

Clkelley,

Having a couple things on the Carfax report does not mean the vehicle in its entirety is a bad vehicle. To me, a Carfax report shows how the previous owner took care of their vehicle. There are many things that a previous owner could have contributed to the troubles that particular Tahoe had. Since those issues have been fixed, I wouldn’t foresee any other issues with those parts. However, like I said, to me the carfax is a reflection on how the previous owner took care of their vehicle. Our detailed, 172-Point Vehicle Inspection and Reconditioning Process is one of the toughest hurdles in the industry. Before any Chevy, Buick, GMC, Pontiac or Saturn vehicle earns the title of Certified Pre-Owned, it must pass all of our rigorous standards first. Our 172-Point Vehicle Inspection and Reconditioning Process is conducted only by highly trained technicians and adheres to strict, factory-set standards to ensure that every vehicle's engine, chassis and body is in excellent condition. No part is overlooked. If it fails a single point, we completely recondition it—or it won't be certified. You can view out 172 point inspection sheet at http://www.gmcertified.com/themes/default/pdf/CPO_172-PointInspectionChecklist051811.pdf You can also visit http://www.gmcertified.com/used-car-inspection to get a more detailed and interactive view of our inspections. I hope this information has answered your questions.

Thank you

Hmm that's not very good... what other issues have you had?

The nav unit was replaced and the A pillar trim was replaced. Took 2 visits to get the nave fixed up. Then an extra visit because the dealership ordered and installed the wrong color A pillar trim. Other than that its been great!

Things happen but 5 times to the dealership for a brand new truck! I'll be test driving some new Tahoes and Denalis this weekend.

Great Job

crotalus,

In my personal opinion, I would be very hesitant to purchase something with a carfax report like that. There are plenty of others Tahoes out there that are great. I encourage you to look on www.gmcertified.com to find some certified Tahoes in your area.

Thank you,

Elizabeth, GM Customer Service

It's nice to know that GM is watching out for it's customers.

One of the things you should check is the leather. If it has minimal cracking, the previous owner most likely took good care of the vehicle. GM Leather is very hard to maintain and cracks very easily without heavy conditioning and care.

The Carfax could also reflect the costumer having TSB or recalls immediately addressed as well in case that has not been mentioned yet.
