    My Fob is falling apart

    My key fob is falling apart. Do these have to be dealer programmed or can I buy one wherever and program it inside the car? It seems I remember I had to take it to the dealer the last time. Thanks.. Gary 2006 Chevy Tahoe.

    Push on the gas, vehicle will not move.

    I pulled up to a stop sign today, I let off the brake, pushed on the gas and the Tahoe does not move. No problems at any other time of operation. It may have something to do with the traction control and it doesn't happen very often. I BELIEVE that today I turned of the traction control and...
