  • 200K miles and going strong - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I bought a 2004 Z71 Tahoe from the original owner in 2009. After owning the last 6 years, I can say it is the best, most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. It has 199k miles on it and has only had a few minor issues (1) water pump went out around 140k miles, replaced, (2) began using coolant at a slow rate but no leaks. Mechanic said it was seeping into a cylinder and being burned, recommend I use Alumiseal. I used and it fixed the problem, (3) recently had the "Service Airbag" light come on. I found out the most common problem is corrosion on the front impact sensors. Found a website that explained how to replace them, so I did. Solved the problem.

  • 233K Miles and Still Running Like a Champ! - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I purchased our 04 Chevy Tahoe new from the Chevy dealer in 2004 as our daily driver family car and let me tell you, it gets driven every day. It is the base model with cloth interior. Sticker price at the time was $38K. It is now 2015 and we have put over 233,000 miles on this same vehicle and it is still running like a champ with no mechanical issues what so ever. Praise GOD! The only issues we have had are the instrument cluster gauge went out at about 150K miles, which is typical with GM vehicles, and the A/C blower was replaced at around 180K miles. That is it. We have not had any engine or transmission problems of any kind. And to be quite honest we have never had the transmission service done ever on the vehicle like the dealer recommends, just routine oil changes about every 5K - 7K miles, sometimes we have even gone as far as 10K - 12K miles before the next oil change. Just check the fluid levels , (oil, Transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid) from time to time and that is it. Needless to say I will be getting another Chevy Tahoe when the time comes, my goal is to get 500K miles out of this wonderful 04 Tahoe before that day comes. :)

  • High quality comfortable SUV - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

    Ive had my Tahoe for 3.5 years and it has never had any problem of any kind-- Ive put 78k miles on it. This fantastic vehicle has the most comfortable 1st and 2nd row seats Ive ever seen. The third row, although it has lots of padding, does not have very much leg room, its great for children. The ride and handling are very good. One high point of this sturdy SUV is its AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT TRACTION. While other vehicles are spinning around and slipping off the road, this vehicle charges ahead with utter confidence. Good visibility is another high point.

  • Great SUV - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

    Bought this vehicle used w/ 21,000 miles on it and have now had it for over 4 years and now it has almost 83,000 miles on it. Have had only two minor problems with it, the push button 4x4 went out and had a problem with the steering shaft. Im debating trading this vehicle, but I hate to so bad. I keep it clean and it just still looks and drives so good. Nothing Ive test drove looks or drives as sweet as my Tahoe. This is a great vehicle. Wish I could afford a newer model.

  • Incredible work by Chevy - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I needed a SUV to help me out with my every day life I was thinking more along the lines of a trailblazer but I am so happy that I did not get it and got the Tahoe instead this is by far the most impressive vehicle I have ever had the pleasure of owning we recently took a trip to the beach and the roominess of the truck far exceeded my expectations and the gas mileage isnt really that bad Im averaging 22-23 hwy and 18-19 cty plus if I was concerned about gas I would bout a yaris but me and my family really enjoy the size looks and comfort plus with a a K and N air filter new plugs and wires and TB spacers Im hoping to up my mileage around 26-27 before exhaust changes

  • 2004 Tahoe, sure beats the Durango p.o.s - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    so far so good. we traded in a 2000 Durango because the ball joints were failing. Have been extremely pleased with the tahoe. I have an escalade ext and the tahoe is very similar in features and handling. The ride is almost as good as the caddy--but not quite as foregiving on bumpy roads

  • love the tahoe - 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

    The Tahoe is an ideal SUV for a my family of 5. It is comfortable and the design is sleek compared to a mini van. It has all the features a mini van has and you have the added bonus of 4x4. It is spacious and nice to look at.
