The Chevrolet Tahoe, a full-size sport utility vehicle available in four-wheel drive, was introduced in 1995. Although Edmunds.com contends that the Tahoe's interior is superior in both "quality and design," it suffers from multiple door lock problems.
Chevrolet technical service bulletins (TSBs) indicate that a common problem amongst second generation (2000 to 2006) Tahoe models is a failure to operate the locks using the remote keyless entry feature. The keyless entry mechanism will either intermittently fail to unlock/lock the vehicle or fail entirely.
Chevrolet TSBs report that 2000 to 2006 Tahoe models suffer from manual lock disengagement. Customers reported that the manual lock lever may become loose and/or completely disengage from the door panel.
TSBs indicate that a disengaged manual lock can be remedied by repairing the lock lever. The Tahoe's keyless entry malfunction can be fixed by reprogramming the door module, which can be performed at an authorized Chevrolet dealership.
