2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE — Complaint #619607

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL filed April 7, 2007

NHTSA complaint #619607 (ODI reference 10187243) concerns a 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE and was filed on April 7, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 6, 2007. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:conventional:mechanical, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET TAHOE cohort independently describe similar parking brake:conventional:mechanical failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

WENT TO HAVE A VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION DONE ON THE 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND IT FAILED BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE /ARKING BRAKE WAS STICKING, AND THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES WERE METAL TO METAL. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. SO TO MAKE IT INSPECTION WORTHY I HAD TO PAY $250.00 TO REPLACE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES!! I HAVE READ THIS IN MANY INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET. *AK
