TAHOE MAN - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
By BEAGLEHOE - March 18 - 2:00 amI bought a 2 door Tahoe LT used and have had it for 6 months now. I spent a total of around 2K in repairs & maintenance in the first two months of owening it. It needed these repairs and since then I havent had any real problems (knock on wood). I love this car b/c i believe in Chevy & its gona be a classic Monster truck one day.

Love it till Tran droped - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
By Pardoe1 - January 22 - 2:00 amI loved my Tahoe Great power and almost no problems in 2 years. Just a fuel pump. That was covered by extended warenty. BUT @ 111000miles the transmission droped 3rd and 4th and I was in the middle of no where. Limped it home and find the company I bought extended warenty from is belly up and dealer says oh well. Im going to see if I can get a Allison trans in this thing.

4 Transmissions in 4 Years - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
By dhawk - August 30 - 2:00 amI love my Tahoe. I love it so much that I keep putting transmissions in it instead of getting rid of it. Just two days ago it ate its fourth transmission. Apparently there is a defect (complete with s TSB to fix it) that makes these trucks eat transmissions. Unfortunately, GM doesnt feel they owe the owners for the transmissions or the fix. Other than that, the truck is awesome. It will tow a boat, trailer, or car. It will haul your family and all their luggage. While driving, you feel totally safe. My gas mileage averages about 17 mpg and the ride is smooth.

Lemmmmon - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
By HenrytheDog - June 14 - 2:00 amIt seems chevy put explosive bolts in this thing. After 36k miles its undependable. Compressor, transmission, alt., coil, ign switch, electronic trans case, etc.. This thing has been towed 4 times to the dealer.

Farewell GM - 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe
By Dallas Driver - May 8 - 2:00 amVery good experience to a point. Vehicle is 7 yrs old, only 42,000 mi. Front passenger seat EZ release cable breaks frequently resulting in 2hr labor fee. Now a head gasket is leaking. Have been told this is common to this engine. Had a shifting sensor go out at 26,000 mi. Battery tray problem resulted in leaking battery and corrosion.My previous SUV was an 89 K5 Blazer-paint peeled,factory engine defect resulted in engine overhaul at 81,000 mi and tranny went out at 90,000mi. all at my cost. Chevy engines seem to have built in problems.
