  All Good Except Suspension!! - 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By damagg13 - April 24 - 9:06 am

  I purchased this 01 Tahoe used in 05 with about 50k on it. Everything has been great, added a dual exhuast along with a k&n filter for a 2-3 mpg increase. Other than that the truck is stock. Mechanically the truck is still in good shape,(engine and trans) but everything else in the car is LOOSE, LOOSE,LOOSE! Steering is awful, and the suspension has not been unfixable! The "autoride" feature has to be the worst automotive engineering mistake ever! Air compressors dont last and shocks are about $400 per unit. Granted the truck is 10 yrs old from build date, but you cant even cure suspension issues without spending thousands!

  Not bad but not good either. - 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By truck owner - April 19 - 2:42 pm

  I have been the original owner of my 2001 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I have had minimal trouble with it. I now have 100,000 miles on it and am starting to expeience some difficulties. The window motors are starting to burn up and the windshield washer motors are starting to crack and fail due to freezing. I have concerns about the transmission. It has been known to slip and I am the last one of all of my friends that has not had the transmission rebuilt. I have done all regular maintenance and I change the oil every 500 miles. My complaints are not with fuel mileage as I have the 5.3L motor and I average 15-16 mpg and I have more room than a 4Runner that get about the same mileage. Poor handling!

  Falling pieces - 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By daveboy - August 16 - 2:00 am

  Although we liked the space and the smooth ride (for an SUV), the lack of quality on the interior was very frustrating. Rattles and pieces falling off throughout the vehicle resulted in multiple trips to the GM dealer. Gas mileage was another issue.....but we knew that when we bought an SUV. After 9 months and 10000 miles we traded in for a car that wouldnt end up at the dealer more than at our house.....a Toyota Camry.

  Great truck??? - 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Mike N - July 3 - 2:00 am

  Have owned my 2001 Tahoe for 1 1/2 years. Have had more problems with this vehicle than any other Ive ever owned. Problems have ranged from warped trim to major power-train issues. This truck has been in the shop more times than I care to think about. When it is functioning well I must say that it can haul, tow, comfortably seat and ride well the best in this class. Im concerned that it will continue to cause problems after the warranty expires and therefore am planning to get rid of it.
