2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the power steering became soft, and the vehicle started to lose forward momentum. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the engine failed to respond, and the vehicle continued to lose forward momentum. The contact stated that the check engine and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over and turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle started to function normally. The contact stated the failure had been intermittent but had become a recurring failure while driving at various speeds. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the failure was with the electrical system; however, there was no fix for the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Battery continues to die there is something continuing to pull power believed to be an ecm issue other models like mine had a similar recall but my vehicle wasn't apart of it

UNKNOWN: The heater-AC blower wire harness female clip and has melted three times with replacement parts. While it was on I was feeling for it and I can feel a strong pulsing so it has a lot of power. The wire harness gauge is week and small. Cheap parts the manufacturer made on a budget. I have heard many complaints and and worries from others that feel it can catch on fire and would be a dangerous distraction driving the freeway while it starts to melt it is a strong obnoxious fume and smells like it an catch fire. Also if you loose your heater on the freeway in the cold your windows fog up.

The first problem was the cluster , it completely went off . I took it to a mechanic he said he fixed it . It works for one day then completely shut off again, I can not see what gear I am in , any alert that I need to see for warning and saftey completely off in the cluster . . Shortly after the first issue I noticed 2 cracks on my dashboard ,on both driver and passenger side of the vehicle . I had not put a lot of thought into that as it didn’t seem like a safety concern up until I’ve read several post of others with same issue . ( I’m guessing a fire should be expected anytime because of others stories I have read off here the cracks have lead to fires ) Another issue is I have to add quart oil to my Tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . I’ve taken it to have that fixed and each time was told there is no leak . I get the works done each oil change and still have to add oil 2 weeks after a new air filter oil etc .. a major issue that could have been a major wreck was While driving down a highway around 11 pm .. my car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoe and it started making a loud click sound saying system is shutting down ,my steering wheel locked up and all power to vehicle completely shut down .period . No power to anything at all what so ever . The battery was fairly new . Well We had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day … he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldn’t see anythjng and told me I should sale it right away He warned me of a lot of issues he keeps seeing with Tahoe . Well now my driver door will not open at all I have to crawl through the passenger side door to get in and out of my car . With all these serious issues still going on I m very scared to be in my car , not getting my alerts and being trapped inside . Please someone point me in the right direction I have 5 kids this is not safe !

OUR CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100K MILES AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING TO THE SPEEDOMETER AS WELL AS RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC... WE EVEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO IS ALSO HAVING TROUBLES FIGURING IT OUT. PAID OVER $500 TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE BCM AND IGNITION SWITCH STILL HAVING ISSUES TO THE POINT IT WILL NOT START.

IT DIES ON A NIGHTLY BASIS AND I SEE FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A IN GOING PROBLEM WHERE THE COMPUTER NEEDS UPDATED AND THE RADIO CONTINUESLY RUNS AND THATS NOT THE ONLY DRAIN

THE DASH CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE 80 K.THIS VEHICLE IS VERY WELL-MAINTAINED IT LOOKS LIKE IT ROLLED OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WHAT A JOKE. SO YOU RECALL THE VEHICLE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, I STARTED NOTICING IT WHEN I WOULD FILL UP WITH FUEL. IT HAS TO BUILD THE PRESSURE UP BEFORE IT'LL START. MANY MECHANICS TOLD ME THIS IS A DEFECT. KAT FRIDAY NIGHT I RAN AN ERRAND. PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY EXITED THE VEHICLE HIT THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE VEHICLE. I GO OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND I CAN SMELL BURNT WIRES. THE WINDOW/POWER LOCKS/MIRRORS MODULE ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. LUCKILY IT SHORTED OUT THE MODULE, BUT IT BURNT UP AND MELTED ONE OF THE CONNECTORS. THIS JUST HAPPENED SO I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO FIGURE THE CAUSE. BURNS 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. GENERAL MOTORS THREW ME UNDER THE BUS IN 1988 ON A BRAND NEW PICK UP TRUCK WITH THE DEXCOOL ANTIFREEZE THAT ATE EVERY GASKET OUT OF THE ENGINE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT I REPLACED IT AT MY COST WITH NO HELP FROM GENERAL MOTORS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THESE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS THEY GOT TOP DOLLAR FOR THESE VEHICLES. ALL OF THESE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL. THE DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE CUT SEVERAL PEOPLE. IT'S LIKE A RAZOR. A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS HAD A PIECE OF TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE HOW EMBARRASSING.

Mileage: 80,000

VEHICLE RESETS ITS SELF DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN DRIVING RADIO CUTS OFF AND ABS LIGHT FLASHES OFF AND ON STABILITY TRACK FLASHES OFF AND WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND START IT BACK UP IT STOPS.

I HAVE AN AIRBAG FAILURE ON MY DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. ON SATURDAY 11/21/2020 THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR KEPT SAYING DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS ENTIRELY CLOSED. LATER ON THAT MORNING, THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD COLD AC WHILE THE REST OF THE CAR WAS THROWING HOT AIR ON IT'S OWN. BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT SAYING THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN, INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURNED ON. REPLACED THE DOOR MODULE AND ISSUE NOT FIXED. BATTERY DRAINS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND FIX ITSELF. THIS CAR IT'S USED ONLY TO DRIVE LESS THAN 10 MILES PER WEEK. IT IS SO ANNOYING WIHT THIS ISSUE JUST TO GET IT OUT AND BACK HOME. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, PASANGER DOOR SENSOR, AC FILTERS ALL THIS IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND IT'S ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Mileage: 213,000

THE O2 SENSOR CAN LOSE FROM ITS HOUSING. I HAD NEVER DONE ANY REPAIRS TO THIS O2 SENSOR. WHICH IT IS LOCATED AT POSITION BANK 1 SENSOR 2. THE SENSOR CONNECTION CAME LOSE FROM WHERE IT IS HELD ON TO THE FRAME. IT CAUSED THE WIRING TO GET SLACK AND WRAP AROUND THE DRIVE SHAFT. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AS I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE SUV I SEEN THE O2 SENSOR WAS CAUGHT ON THE SHAFT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ONCE TIME INCIDENT THAT HAD OCCURRED TO ME. BUT AS I WENT TO THE SALVAGE YARD TO GET A HARNESS. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE MODEL TRUCKS.

Mileage: 208,750

WOW. I AM SEEING ALL MY SAME ISSUES SO THOUGHT I BETTER ENTER MY INFO AS WELL. FIRST THE HORN WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN BLARING WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 2.5 YEARS AGO AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE A HORN, AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL INCLUDING THE RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL (I QUESTION IF THE AIR BAG IS ACTIVE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE OF THIS). THEN, THE REAR LIFT GATE ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT OPEN (MAYBE LAST WINTER). 6 MONTHS AGO, THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH ARE OUT SO I CAN'T SEE MY ODOMETER OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN ACCESS ON THE DASH. RECENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST RANDOMLY FELL OFF THE TRACK. RECENTLY, EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK ELECTRICALLY: POWER DOOR LOCK, AND POWER WINDOW. AND I FIND THAT GM WILL NOT ADDRESS AT A MINIMUM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES? NOT GOOD.

WELL THERE'S A COUPLE OF RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING TELLING ME WHEN CAN I GO GET IT FIXED

ON JUNE 4, 2020 I HAD NY FRONT WINDOW BROKEN I TOOK IT TO CHANGE THE FRONT GLASS AND THE CUT OF THE VIPER ALARM I HAD ON THE CAR SO THE ALARM WAS JUST TURNING ON AND ON I TRY TO TURN IT ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP AND IT DIDN'T SO I DECIDED TO TAKE OFF THE POSITIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY TO SEE IF TAKING IT OFF IT WOULD STOP AND IT DIDN'T SO I PUT BACK ON AND TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T NOTHING DEAD JUST THE LIGHTS OF THE CHECK ENGINE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION AND UNTIL THIS DATE CAN FIND WHAT TO DO WITH IT I CHANGE THE FUSE BOX AND STILL DON'T TURN ON. *TR

MY 07 TAHOE HAS BEEN HAVING STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL ON FOR MONTHS I'VE THROWN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTS AT MY TAHOE IT'LL WORK GREAT FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN THE CODES POP RIGHT BACK ON MY DASHBOARD CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND THE TRUCK TO LOSE ENGINE POWER AND JERK AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE I'VE HAD TO BE TOWED HOME , CHANGE SEVERAL PARTS AND CAN GET NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY IT KEEPS COMING UP. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECALL IT FOR THIS ISSUE I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING FOR THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TO KEEP COMING ON AND NOT KNOWING WHY PLEASE GM YALL ARE THE BEST AND NEED TO FIX IT!!!!!!! VERY TIRED OF THROWING MONEY AWAY!! *TR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL SPORADICALLY DISPLAY TWO M.I.L. 'S - SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $4,000 ON DIFFERENT PARTS, AS WELL AS HAVING THE HEADS COMPLETELY REBUILT ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. THE ONLY TROUBLE CODES IT SHOWS WHEN HOOKED TO A SCANNER ARE A P0300 (GENERIC MISFIRE DETECTED) P0301 (MISFIRE CYLINDER 1) AND 0443 (EVAP EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM VALVE CIRCUIT). AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF RESEARCH ONLINE, IT IS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THERE IS NO DIRECT SUREFIRE RESOLUTION. BUT RATHER A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT IS SOMETIMES VERY LABOR INTENSIVE AND EXTREMELY INVASIVE TO TRACK DOWN THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTROL SWITCH, ADDED A SECONDARY BACKUP BATTERY AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLES, REPLACE THE PLUGS, PLUG WIRES AND IGNITION COIL PACKS. IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE AND AT THIS POINT I HAVE AS MUCH MONEY INVESTED IN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE SPENT PURCHASING IT. I AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO SELL THIS TRUCK AND LET'S HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF DEALING WITH SUCH ISSUES BUT AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT AND DISCOVERING THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST CHEVROLET / GM SUVS AND TRUCKS, PARTICULARLY WITH THE 5.3 L ENGINE, I FEEL GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING IT OR LET ME TRADE IT IN TOWARDS A NEWER MODEL WITH A SUFFICIENT CREDIT APPLIED. THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM STOPPING OR ACCELERATING ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. IF I AM SIMPLY CRUISING ALONG AT 25 MILES PER HOUR STEADILY AND NOT ACCELERATING OR BREAKING, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS PREVALENT. BUT AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, IT IS SPORADIC AND CONTINUES TO REOCCUR INCESSANTLY.

I HAVE A RECALL ON MY AIR BAG AND I WANT IT FIXED BEFORE IT BECOMES A PROBLEM

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM BURNED WASHER FLUID HEATER

Mileage: 152,000

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHEV TAHOE TODAY, WHILE IN MOTION, THE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME UP ON MY DASH ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. THEN THE ENGINE STARTED STRUGGLING. I GOOGLED THESE PROBLEMS AND IT APPEARS GM RECALLED MODELS FROM 2014 AND 2015 WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL IMPACTED MODELS. IF THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER, IT COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Mileage: 138,000

RECALLS ON NUMEROUS GM VEHICLES FOR CATCHING FIRE: THE VEHICLE WAS SETTING IN DRIVEWAY FOR OVER 7 HOURS AND NEIGHBORS WERE AWAKEN BY LOUD EXPLOSION AND LOOKED OUT AND SAW FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THEY WOKE MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER UP OUT OF DEEP SLEEP AND CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FROM FRONT BUMPER TO BACK CARGO AREA TOTAL LOSS. FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME BUT COULDN'T SALVAGE THE CAR. THE GARAGE DOOR, GARAGE ENTRY DOOR AND DOWNSTAIRS BASEMENT WERE DAMAGED AD POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT ON THEM. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SIGNS OF OVER HEATING, OR SMOKING, AND ANY TYPE OF BURNING SMELLS.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION. NOT SHOWING THE ODOMETER OR DRIVE TREE (PRND321) SPEED GAUGE IS STILL WORKING. SEEING MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH PEOPLE SODERING ON THE BOARDS OF CLUSTER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF NETS CAMPAIGN NUMBER: (AIR BAGS) AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE CONTACT CALLED SAX MOTOR CO. AT (701) 483-4411 (LOCATED AT 52 ST E, DICKINSON, ND 58601). THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 7 WEEKS. I'VE SPENT $6,000 HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AS THERE WAS CYLINDER 7 MISFIRE. HOWEVER, AFTER ALL THIS I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR CODES AND THEY NOW BELIEVE ITS ELECTRICAL AND THE WHOLE CAR NEEDS TO BE RE-WIRED. WHEN IT BROKE DOWN ORIGINALLY, IT WAS IN NEUTRAL IN A CAR WASH...

Mileage: 149,000

DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - THIS GAUGE CLUSTER HAS BEEN NOTORIOUS FOR BEING DEFECTIVE IN A GREAT MANY OF GM VEHICLES. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE CLUSTER IN MY 2005 TAHOE BECAUSE GM WOULDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THAT SHOULD NEVER BE THE CASE. WHEN THESE CLUSTERS FAIL THEY CAN LEAD TO MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF INJURIES DUE TO IMPROPER READINGS WHICH DRIVERS DEPEND ON TO MAKE CORRECT DRIVING DECISIONS. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE THAT ANY DEVICE PLACED INTO A VEHICLE WHICH GIVES DRIVERS INFORMATION FOR WHICH THEY DEPEND ON ACCURACY TO OPERATE THAT VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED FOR REPLACEMENT NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AS THIS IS IN ITS SIMPLEST TERMS A MATTER OF SAFETY. SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND 1 TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THIS IS A "WEAR AND TEAR" STANCE THE COMPANY IS TAKING WITH THIS ISSUE. I FOUND OUT MY CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN I RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET WHEN MY GAUGE CLEARLY INDICATED A PROPER SPEED LIMIT ON CRUISE CONTROL. THE OFFICER STATED THAT I WAS GOING 17 MPH FASTER THAN WHAT WAS ALLOWED. THIS WAS MY FIRST TICKET SO I WAS LET OFF WITH A WARNING BUT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED IF THAT WAS TO BE MY REASONING. DEFECTIVE DEVICES SUCH AS THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AS THE NORM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DRAINED AS A FAILURE PROGRESSED CONCERNING THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALERS (ROSNER CHEVROLET, 800 S HARBOR CITY BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901, (321) 723-3611 AND BOB STEELE CHEVROLET, 2800 FL-520, COCOA, FL 32926, (321) 632-6700) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT OBTAINED AN ONSTAR REPORT TO SPECIFY THE DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES THAT FLASHED EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AS THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE AND THE AIR BAG FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 218,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH A TAKATA AIRBAG. I CONTACTED LITHIA CHEVROLET (REDDING CALIF) WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAG, STATING IT WAS AN INCOMPLETE RECALL AT THIS TIME.

Mileage: 90,000

MY CHEVROLET TAHOE, DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE PER SCHEDULE, LOSES ON QUART OF OIL EVERY 2500 MILES. THERE ARE NO LEAKS, SMOKING EXHAUST ETC. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE. THE IGNITION WILL AT TIMES FAIL TO TURN OFF DESPITE REMOVING THE KEY. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL POP OUT OF CRUISE MODE FOR NO REASON AND WILL OFTEN FAIL TO REENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. LITHIA CHEVROLET IN REDDING REFUSES TO DISCUSS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, STATING IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAG THAT LITHIA REFUSES TO REPLACE.

I BEEN HAVING PROBLEM OUT OF EVERYTHING FOR A WHILE MY LIGHTS ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED WHITE SMOKE AND FLAMES FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DIGITAL INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) HAS STOPPED WORKING. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE NON-DIGITAL GAUGES SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, ETC STILL WORK PROPERLY. ALL OF THE DIGITAL DISPLAYED INFO SUCH AS ODOMETER, GEAR SELECT, MPG, TIRE PSI, ETC, IS NO LONGER VISISBLE. THIS DEFECT/MALFUNCTION OCCURRED UNEXPECTEDLY ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. THE DEFECT/MALFUNCTION OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (NOT MOVING) IN MY DRIVEWAY. I SIMPLY GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY ON TO START THE ENGINE, AND THE DIC WAS NOTICEABLY BLANK. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS FOR INFO REGARDING REPAIRS,, AND I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THIS EXACT DEFECT/MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY COMMON AMONG 2007-2016 CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BY ISSUING A RECALL. ALSO, FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT ANY CAUSE, MY DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS ALSO A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, WOULD THEY DEPLOY PROPERLY? AND EVEN IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY PROPERLY, IM AFRAID SHARDS OF THE PLASTIC FROM DASHBOARD WILL SHOOT ALL OVER THE CAR RESULTING IN INJURY.

Mileage: 145,000

TAKATA INFLATORS I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST REGION AND I BELIEVE MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THE DEFLATION OF THE AIRBAGS. ALSO I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE SOME OF THE SPEAKERS WOULD WORK AND THEN HAVE A SHORT AND NOW THE VEHICLE OUTLETS IN THE FRONT HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE SPEAKERS WOULD WORK AND THEN SHORT AND COME BACK ON . NOT ALL THE FRONT SPEAKERS ARE NOT PUTTING OUT ANY SOUND AND THE OUTLETS STOPPED WORKING. LASTLY THE DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING . THE CRACK STARTS FROM THE DRIVERSIDE AND ENDS IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT DASH. I HAPPEN TO GET IN THE CAR AND NOTICE A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT GRADUALLY STARTED TO GET BIGGER. *TR

CRACK IN THE DASH ON DRIVERS SIDE. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CAUSED CUTS TO HANDS. SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED & MECHANICS CAN NOT LOCATE THE ISSUE. SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION.

THE VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MODE WHICH BASICALLY MEANS THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME DOZENS OF TIMES, IN INTERSECTIONS, AND I HAVE TO ROLL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTAKE GASKETS LEAK ALLOWING FLUID INTO THE ENGINE. THE DASH CRACKED. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE AIR RIDE SHOCKS (LTZ MODEL), THE CONNECTOR WILL WEAR A HOLE IN THE SHOCK.

WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING, VEHICLE DISPLAYS ERROR MESSAGES STATING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER", "STABILITRAK SYSTEM DISABLED" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL." THE ENGINE POWER REDUCES AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSES POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND MAJOR HIGHWAYS. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND IT BEGAN DOING THIS AT AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STICKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW STALLING ON A REGULAR BASIS (ABOUT 1-3 TIMES EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN). THE PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN IT RAINS A LOT OUTSIDE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE BECAUSE I HAVE LOST POWER ON IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE TWICE.

DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL WHEN PROMPTED, OPENS HALF WAY THEN SHUTS ON ITS OWN, OPENS ALL THE WAY AND SHUTS ON ITS OWN, OR OPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN AFTER JUST LOCKING AND SECURING THE CAR. ALSO WHEN OPEN AND PROMPTED TO CLOSE WITH THE BUTTON/S, IT WILL EITHER CLOSE, NOT CLOSE OR CLOSE HALF WAY AND RE OPEN. TODAY MY POWER LIFT GATE DECIDED TO OPEN SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN WHEN I LOCKED THE CAR AND STEPPED ABOUT 2 FEET AWAY, IN JUST THAT MOMENT A PASSING CAR IN THE PARKING LOT WAS COMING BY AND HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO AVOID HITTING MY NOW RAISING POWER LIFT GATE. NEED LESS TO SAY HE WAS INCHES FROM HITTING THE CORNER OF THE GATE WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF HIS CAR.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 07 CHEVY TAHOE BEFORE 3 MONTHS AGO, THE PROBLEMS START ONE BY ONE, WHEN THE WEATHER START HOT THE DASHBOARD BROKEN, DIC LIGHT DEAD AND RND123 LIGHT TOO, NOW THE GM DEALER WANT MORE THAN A $500 TO FIX THE CLUSTER, I CHECKED ONLINE AND I FOUND THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM, WHY GM DON'T DO A RECALL ON THE MESSAGE CENTER LIGHT AND THE DASHBOARD. *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT START AT TIMES, HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A PREVIOUS CHEVY TAHOE 2007 LT THAT I OWNED PRIOR AND THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.

2007 CHEVORLET 2007 TAHOE LTZ WITH 62K. I PARKED THE CAR AS USUAL AND LOCKED THE DOORS USING THE REMOTE. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT INTO THE CAR AND IT SMELLED LIKE SMOKE AND SOMETHING HAD CAUGHT FIRE. NONE OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FUNCTIONS WORKED. I REMOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE MASTER SWITCH AND THE WIRING HARNESS PLUG HAD BURNT OUR AND MELTED ITSELF TO THE MASTER SWITCH. THE SHORT DESTROYED BOTH THE MASTER SWITCH AND WIRING HARNESS THE CAR DID NOT TRIP ANY FUSES IN THE PROCESS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION CONSIDERING THE CAR COULD OF COMPLETELY CAUGHT FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS NO MOISTURE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PARTS THAT BURNT OUT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED WHICH SAID THEIR WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MYSELF AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING ON THE I75 TO CINCINNATTI, OHIO AND MY TRUCK WAS FINE, NO ISSUES, NO PROBLEMS, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HALFWAY THERE THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION SIGNS AND MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE HAD TO HURRY UP AND SWITCH LANES, IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING OVER MYSELF AN OTHERS HIT THIS POTHOLE THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANES THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY BEING WORKED ON ,BUT THERE WERE NO CONES OR ANYTHING AROUND IT. AS SOON AS I HIT IT AND WAS TRYING TO GET OVER MY STABILITRAK AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND MY TRUCK STARTED JERKING REAL BAD, BY THE TIME I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO WHERE I WAS GOING MY ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON TOO AND MY TRUCK WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF , IT STARTED SMOKING AND I STOPPED BY A GAS STATION AND PEOPLE THERE TRIED TO HELP ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS BEST FOR ME TO TRY TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH IS XENIA, OHIO OR I WAS GOING TO GET STUCK IN CINCINNATTI. IT TOOK A COUPLE DAYS FOR ME TO ACTUALLY GET IT IN THE SHOP WHICH IS LANG'S CHEVROLET IN BEVERCREEK, OHIO AND WHEN I TOOK IT THERE NONE OF THE BODY SHOP MEN KNEW WHAT IT WAS, THEN BECAUSE OF THAT THEY SAID WE CAN TAKE THE ENGINE APART BUT YOUR GOING TO BE CHARGED $1500.00 AND IF IT'S NOT THAT THEN I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO DO. NOW BEING THAT YOU ARE A CERTIFIED AUTO MECHANIC ISNT IT YOUR JOB TO KNOW WHAT IT IS? I'M BRINGING MY TRUCK BACK TO WHERE I PAYED CASH FOR IT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. TO ME THAT IS CRAZY AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH IT BEFORE. I'VE TOOK IT TO SEVERAL BODY SHOPS AND HAVE PAYED MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR SOMETHING THAT IT WASNT AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHATS WRONG. SO I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET HAS FAILED ME AND SO HAS GM SINCE THEY OWN THEM NOW. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT THEN WHY SELL THEM? EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM IS BEING IGNORED AND ITS SAD. *JS

WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL NOT RUNNING, NOT IN USE. VEHICLE WAS SETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WEATHER WAS AROUND 45-50 DEGREES AND THE DASH CRACKED IN 3 SPOTS, 2 SPACES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ONE OVER THE AIR BAG AREA., I HAVE DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND VERIFIED THAT THERE IS SEVERAL CASES OF THIS HAPPENING IN THIS PARTICULER MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THE MATERIAL FROM THE DASH CRACKING COULD CAUSE CUTS/OR EXTENSIVE WOUNDS BY PRODUCING FLYING DEBIS FROM THE AIR BAG GOING OFF SINCE THE DASH IS CRACKING OVER THE AIR BAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED PER THEIR REQUEST, THEY DIDN'T ADMIT THERE WASN'T A MANUFACTURING FLAW BUT THEY DENIED REPAIRING THE VEHICLE STATING THAT I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT GM DEALRESHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED VERIFIED THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND THEY WERE VERY LARGE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE SPEED CONTROL JUST STOPPED WORKING. I RESET IT AND THE FIRST BUMP IN THE ROAD IT STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK IT FOR REPAIR AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YR. THEN THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD IT FIXED AGAIN AND IT LASTED ABOUT ANOTHER 2 YRS. IT HAS AGAIN FAILED SEVERAL TIMES TO WORK AT ALL AND THEN YOU CAN GET IN THE CAR AND START DRIVING AND IT WILL WORK. CURRENTLY, IT WON'T COME ON AT ALL...THIS APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TAHOE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DROPS QUICKLY IN SPEED. ALSO, OUR TAHOE IS GARAGE KEPT AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I SEE THAT THIS TOO IS A PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF TAHOE. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE DOOR WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THE SEATS WON'T MOVE AND HAVE HAD THAT FIXED TWICE. WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE REAR DOOR STOP WORKING WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE. WE HAVE HAD THAT IN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS. WE GAVE UP TAKING IT BACK. HERE AGAIN NO RECALLS. WE ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THEY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. WHY HAVEN'T THESE ITEMS BEEN RECALLED BY GM. THE DEALERS KNOW THAT ITS A PROBLEM, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO PAY THE BILL TO GET IT FIXED. IF YOU LOOK ON HERE, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. WE HAVE OWNED MANY CHEVYS INCLUDING CORVETTE AND 2 TAHOES BUT SINCE GM WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS LIKE THEY SHOULD, WE WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER BRAND,NISSAN OR HONDA NEXT TIME. *TR

IN OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE THE DASH IS CRACKED JUST ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN A CRASH. THE INTERIOR WIRING MUST BE FAULTY, THE PASSENGER WINDOW SOMETIMES WON'T ROLL DOWN FROM DRIVERS SIDE, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL. ALSO OUR BATTERY MOUNTS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS CALLED FOR IN AUTOMOTIVE CENTERS (TOP MOUNT , NOT SIDE) MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ORDER PROPER BATTERY FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AT 90,000 MILES, ALL OF MY REAR BEARINGS WERE BAD AND HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED, BASICALLY A WHOLE NEW REAR END. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER TWICE WITH MY TAHOE, SO OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT SOMEWHERE. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD; ONE IN THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, AND THE OTHER ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING COLUMN. THESE BOTH OCCURRED ABOUT THE SAME TIME, AROUND 100,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO BE REPLACING THESE DASHBOARDS ON THEIR DIME AND NOT EXPECTING THE CUSTOMER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAVE TO DEPLOY, PIECES OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES THAT WOULD HARM ANYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD ISSUE I HAVE, THAT BEGAN TODAY AT 109,000 MILES, ARE INVOLVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK, THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES WHICH GEAR YOU ARE IN DID NOT COME ON, AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT WERE ON EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, AND I'M HOPING IT IS JUST A BAD FUSE. I AM SO DICOURAGED WITH MY TAHOE LATELY. ALL OF THESE LITTLE THINGS GOING WRONG HAVE REALLY MADE ME LEARY OF BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT, AND I'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT THE 2015 REDESIGN. NOT SO MUCH NOW. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2007 TAHOE IN AUGUST 2012. SINCE THIS TIME, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL STARTING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. A JUMP START OR BOOST WILL OFTEN ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN AVAILABLE BOOST. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS, FAMILY VACATIONS, WORK, AND OUR KIDS GAMES OR PRACTICES. AS NOTED IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, THE STARTING PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THERE ARE TIMES A BOOST WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, WE EVEN BEGAN TO LOSE POWER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING A FAMILY VACATION THIS PAST SUMMER. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING ISSUE FOR GM AND THEIR APPARENT INABILITY OR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE STARTING / LOSS OF POWER PROBLEMS, A CRACKED DASH AND FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINTS, IT MAY LIKELY BE A BATTERY CABLE ISSUE. GM MUST RECALL THIS KNOWN PROBLEM!!! *TR

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A KNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. I JUST HAD MY TAHOE AT THE DEALER LAST WEEK FOR STRANGE CLACKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THEY STATED I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT DID IT AGAIN. YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE AND MY TAHOE APPEARED POSSESSED. DOOR LOCKS, GEARING SHIFTING WAS AFFECTED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND STEER DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS RISK TO OTHERS AROUND ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TURNING TO THE INTERNET AND FINDING THAT I AM ONE OF WHAT IS PROBABLY THOUSANDS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE MAKES MY EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, NTSB AND NOW WITH THE STATE OF NC IMMEDIATELY. NOT ONLY HAVE WE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE LONG DEALT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT GM CONTINUES TO SAY IS "NORMAL" CONSUMPTION. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN GM AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING MAJOR COMPONENT ISSUES. WE ALSO OWN A JEEP WRANGLER AND THEY ARE BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANYTIME WE HAVE AN ADDRESSABLE ISSUE. *LN

THE MONITOR OR SENSOR OF THE CAR WAS NOT DETECTING IF THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING ACCURATELY. IT IS NOT DETECTING THE PRESSURE OF THE TIRE. SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP PARTICULARLY TO SALESPERSON WHO SOLD US THE CAR. HE SAID, IT DOES IT SOMETIMES. WHEN WE ARE FILLIN IN ITS GAS TANK, IT SHUTS OFF THE GAS NOZZLE AFTER A GALLON OR TWO, WHICH IS ACTUALLY STRANGE, SO WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT'S PROBABLY THE GAS STATION. WE TALK TO THE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY ARE NOT SHUTTING THE GAS NOZZLE OFF. WE OCCASIONALLY HEAR ITS CREAKING SOUND WHEN WE DRIVE IT, AND WHEN WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT IS JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T USE A BRAKE PAD THAT'S WHY. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SOMETIMES MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNING, BUT THEIR COMMENT IS UNABLE TO VERIFY THE CAUSE AT THIS TIME. I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH THE CAR EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER DIDN'T LIKE IT, AND UNTIL NOW THEY STILL CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP US OUT. THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED, BUT WHY THEY DIDN'T FIXED THEM WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO THEM A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. THE CAR IS JUST 23,000 MILES THOUGH IT'S A 2007 MODEL, BECAUSE WE CAN'T USE IT ALL THE TIME. WE ARE NOT THAT CONFIDENT TO BRING IT ALL THE TIME AND PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. RIGHT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, I HAVE RENEWED ITS REGISTRATION ALREADY, BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD HOPING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL DO SOME CORRECTIONS WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ALREADY EXPIRED. WE KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS THE EMISSION TEST BECAUSE ITS ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE'VE BEEN TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES BUT THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, EVEN IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND JUST WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THEY WILL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO US. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 05/23/2013 AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I LOST POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THE TOW TRUCK JUMPED ME AND IT STARTED JUST FINE SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. THEN I TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD TURN ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. TOW TRUCK CAME AGAIN TO JUMP ME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND KNEW EXACTLY THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. THEY REPLACED THE CABLES TO A COST TO ME OF $500!!! HE SAID THAT CHEVY KNOWS IT'S AN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT THEY WON'T DO A RECALL..ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!!

UNFORTUNATELY, SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THIS WAS SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR IN THE LAST 18! WE TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR HAD FAILED AGAIN! WE ARE EXTREMELY UNEASY WITH THE CAR NOW SINCE EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, IT HAS BEEN WHILE ONE OF US WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. ON THE PREVIOUS OCCASION, SHE HAD TO QUICKLY MOVE AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC...WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM VERY OFTEN, BUT NOT THIS MUCH IN ONE CAR.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THESE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR- ALL WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR - SOME ISSUES ARE ONGOING. THREE OF THE FOUR DOOR HANDLES ARE FRAYED AND CAUSE CUTS. THE CENTER CONSOLE WAS LITERALLY COMING APART AT THE SEAMS. I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF WIND VERY LOUDLY WITH THE WINDOWS UP. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR - I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALER (MORENO VALLEY CHEVROLET) ADVISING THEM THAT THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT PROPERLY OPERATING WITH THE KEY FOB AND THAT THE SOUND OF WIND WAS/IS VERY LOUD AND THE TIRES ARE MAKING NOISE. WELL , THEY REPLACED, RESET, AND WHATEVER ELSE TO THE DOOR LOCKS - AND THE ELECTRONIC FOB STILL DID NOT (AND DOES NOT) WORK. EVEN AFTER THREE (OR FOUR) ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS - I HAVE TO USE THE KEY, THE FOB DOES NOT WORK. THE DVD PLAYER PLAYS AT WILL. AT ONE OF THOSE VISITS - WHERE I ADVISED OF EXCESSIVE NOISE, THE DEALER REPLACED THREE OF MY TIRES AND MY DVD PLAYER - WITHOUT MY REQUEST. THE SERVICE TECH SAYS - "OH, THEY HOOKED YOU UP." I ASKED AND ASKED "WHY" THEY REPLACED THESE THINGS AND NO ONE, INCLUDING THE SERVICE MANAGER, HAD AN ANSWER. AND STILL - THE TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY, ARE LOUD, AND THE RIDE IS NOT SMOOTH AND THE DVD PLAYER PLAYS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I TOOK MY CAR TO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE GUY THERE SAID, "ONE DAY, YOUR TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF, THIS (WHAT THE NAME WAS-I CAN'T RECALL) IS BROKEN...IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT FALLS APART." I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (MORENO VALLEY CHEVY) AND THEY SAID "CANNOT DUPLICATE." NEVER, EVER ANOTHER CHEVY. *TR

THIS MORNING AFTER A HEAVY RAIN LAST NIGHT, WHILE TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, I HEARD A WATER SLOSHING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. GOT HOME AND INVESTIGATED THE DOOR- IT WAS LITERALLY FILLED INSIDE WITH WATER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT ALL DOORS HAD WATER IN THEM! SCARY! I HAD TO LEAVE ALL 4 DOORS OPEN FOR APPROX 20 MIN FOR WATER TO STOP DRAINING OUT! MY SAFETY CONCERN HERE IS IF THESE DOORS ARE FILLED (AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY FILLED) WITH WATER, THERE MUST BE A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM THE DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INSIDE THE DOORS FOR WINDOWS AND/OR THE POWER LOCKS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WITH RPM AT 2000 RPM, THE 2007 TAHOE SURGED, JERKED IF YOU WILL, AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TELLING THE VEHICLE IT WAS GOING TOO SLOW. HITTING THE BRAKES DID NOT DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL. ENGINE RACED TO 4000 RPM AND LOCKED AT 4000 RPM! SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTED VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THE NEXT PERSON THIS HAPPENS TO WILL BE AS LUCKY. HAD TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO REDUCE ENGINE RPM FROM THE 4000 RPM IT WAS LOCKED ON. CALLED ON STAR AND INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY RAN A TEST WHICH INDICATED NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART ON FIRST FOUR ATTEMPTS. DISABLED CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL, WHICH WAS GLOWING YELLOW, AND THE ENGINE STARTED. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTED, FILE 71-965035291 AND GM REFUSED TO REPLACE CRUISE CONTROL AS THE LOCAL DEALER IN SAN ANGELO TX INDICATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. IF SHOULD BE NOTED IT WAS 104 DEGREES AND THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER AN HOUR AND 100 MILES WITH THE VEHICLE LOADED WITH 5 PEOPLE AND LUGGAGE. THE LOCAL DEALER DID NOT DUPLICATE THE EXACT CONDITIONS AND INSTEAD DID A TEST DRIVE OF 60 MILES WITHOUT THE LOAD OR HIGH TEMPERATURE. TALKED TO SARAH AT 866 790 8601 EXT 12869 AND SHE PASSED ME ON TO VICTORIA, DAVID, AND THEN BACK TO VICTORIA. I AM AN EQUIPMENT ENGINEER AND VICTORIA DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE. GM DID NOT TAKE MY OFFER TO REMOVE MY CRUISE CONTROL SO THEY COULD BENCH TEST THE UNIT AND ADD HEAT TO DRIVE THE FAULTY COMPONENT TO FAIL. GM, SPECIFICALLY VICTORIA, WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW THIS LACK OF ACTION BY CHEVY/GM SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THE DESCRIPTION I HAVE PROVIDED IS ACCURATE.

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE AND I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I WILL SET IT WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AND IT WILL DISENGAGE ON ITS OWN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND NOW I REALIZE AFTER SEEKING INFORMATION ON THE WEB THAT MANY TAHOE AND YUKON OWNERS AR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED SOME SURGING AND SPEED FLUCTUATION WHEN IT IS ENGAGED AS HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WHO'AS COMMENTS I HAVE SEEN ON VEHICLE INFORMATION WEB PAGES. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. GM TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT AWARE ANY ISSUES BUT I KNOW NOW THAT THIS NOT TRUE. I HAVE SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS THAT INDICATE THERE ARE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS THAT MAY EFFECT THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE? *TR

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK THE BATTERY I WENT TO START THE TRUCK AND THE BATTER WAS DEAD. I GOT A JUMP FOR BUT A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT HOWEVER LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER, I HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT AGAIN; THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO TURN OVER WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION AND SOMETIMES I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK AND THEN TRY AGAIN BEFORE IT STARTED. I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK IN TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE STARTER. OVER THE LAST YEAR, THE IGNITION STILL DOES THE SAME THING AND IF I SIT AND LISTEN TO THE RADIO WITH THE CAR OFF, THE BATTERY WILL DIE REQUIRING A JUMP START. THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AGAIN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND WHILE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP I TRIED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED. TWO DAYS AGO, I STARTED MY TRUCK AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS WERE DEAD. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND THEY WERE FINE SO I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE TO DISCOVER MANY MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE DETAILING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY, STARTER AND INSTRUMENT PANEL. TWO DAYS AFTER THE INSTRUMENTS WENT OUT, AGAIN THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START WHEN SITTING WITH MY TRUCK OFF AND MY CELL PHONE PLUGGED INTO THE CHARGER. I WAITED 20 MINUTES AND TURNED THE IGNITION AND AFTER IT CLICKED A FEW TIMES, THE CAR STARTED AND THE INSTRUMENTS CAME BACK ON. I'M TIRED OF THE DEALER TELLING ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE WHEN IT'S CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT AND OTHERS ARE AND HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2007 TAHOE'S. THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED ASAP!

2007 TAHOE LTZ. MY TAHOE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON 9/10/10. I SAW SMOKE IN THE BACK OF MY SUV AS I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED IN THE BACK OF THE SUV. FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK END OF THE AUTO. IT TOOK THE FIREMEN 20 MINUTES TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS SAYING IT MUST BE MECHANICAL, WHICH THEY START TO TELL ME THAT TYPE OF FIRE IS NOT COVERED AND THEY ARE NOT COVERING DAMAGES, WHICH THE SUV IS TOTALED.

EARLY LAST WEEK, I TOOK MY WIFE'S VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER CLOSE TO MY HOME TO HAVE FOUR NEW TIRES PUT ON. ONE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WAS BAD SO I WENT & BOUGHT A NEW ONE SO IT COULD BE REPLACED. WHILE SWITCH WAS ON (ENGINE NOT RUNNING), THE TIRE MAN BEGAN TO RE-TRAIN THE SENSORS. IN THE PROCESS OF ALL THIS & BEING INDOORS & THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE ON (AGAIN ENGINE NOT RUNNING) THE BATTERY RAN DOWN & THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. HE HAD TO USE A JUMP BOX TO START THE CAR. DURING THE RUNNING OF THE ENGINE EVERY IDIOT LIGHT CAME ON & STARTED ONE AT A TIME TO GO OUT. AFTER I LEFT I FOUND THAT THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CHANGED WAS THE ENGINE HOURS RE-SET TO ZERO. I LOOKED ON-LINE & FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL BLOGS CONCERNING THE SAME AS I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE WITH THE SAME RESULT. SO I CONTACTED GM VIA EMAIL ON THEIR WEB SITE TO TELL THEM THE ABOVE. THEY CALLED ME BACK & CLAIMED THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH. THEY SUGGESTED I TALK TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER & FIND OUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I EXPLAINED ALL THE ABOVE TO EDWARDS CHEVROLET IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. THE SERVICE MANAGER ASK IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS GOING ON BESIDES THE ENGINE HOURS? I TOLD HIM NO. HE SAID I SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. THE NEXT DAY THE GM MAN CALLED ME BACK & I TOLD HIM WHAT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID & HE SAID OK BUT I PROBABLY NEED AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) & I SAID I AIN'T BUYING NOTHING AS NOTHING ELSE WAS GOING ON WITH THE CAR. NOW I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL CALLS FROM A WOMAN AT GM SAYING SHE HAS TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT EDWARDS AND HE TOLD HER THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AT EDWARDS (EVEN AFTER I TOLD GM THAT EDWARDS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS) & HAPPENED AT A INDEPENDENT DEALER (WHICH I ALREADY STATED) & NOW THE GM WOMAN SAYS I NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HERE'S WHAT I SEE, THIS IS A GM ISSUE, NOT THE CHEVROLET DEALER OR THE INDEPENDENT TIRE DEALER. I HAVE SAID ALL I AM GOING TO GM ABOUT THIS MATTER & I HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. LAST YEAR, I STARTED NOTICING ISSUES IN MAY. CAR EXHIBITED RANDOM STARTING FAILURES (NO STARTER TURNING - LIKE DEAD BATTERY) WHICH WILL RESOLVE AND BEGIN FUNCTIONING ON ITS OWN AFTER TIME PASSED. BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY DEALER WITH NO RESOLUTION. MAJOR FLUCTUATIONS AND ACTIVATION OF THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH ( ABS, SUSPENSION SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL, BACKUP ASSISTANCE, CRUISE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, ALL NEEDLE GAUGES FLUCTUATE RANDOMLY, TRIP COMPUTER INFORMATION DEACTIVATES RANDOMLY) NOTED DURING NORMAL DRIVING. DOOR LOCKS ALSO RANDOMLY LOCK WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS PERIODICALLY TURN AND WASHER FLUID IS EXPRESSED. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGHLY WHEN THESE ISSUES ARE BEING SEEN. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL CEASE COOLING THE AIR DURING THESE TIMES BUT CONTINUE TO RUN THE BLOWER FAN ( JUST UNCOOLED AIR). ALL THESE PROBLEMS WILL COME AND GO RANDOMLY. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS WERE REPORTED AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN SUMMER 2009. MULTIPLE CPU MODULES WERE REPLACED AND THE CAR SEEMED BETTER. NOW THE ISSUES ARE ARISING AGAIN AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THE 2007 TAHOE LTZ WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN YESTERDAY. GM PERSONNEL WERE VERY CONFRONTATIONAL WHEN DISCUSSION THE ISSUES OF A DESIGN/PRODUCTION/MANUFACTURING DEFECT, YET THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD PRACTICALLY RECITE VERBATIM THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING AS I STARTED TO DESCRIBE THE INITIAL PROBLEMS. HE ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS VERY COMMON , AND HE STATED THE BCM COULD BE OUT. THAT ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER MODULES WERE REPLACED ALREADY LAST YEAR. I HAVE HEARD AND READ NUMEROUS SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THIS YEAR TAHOE. SOMEONE WITHIN THE REGULATING AGENCIES NEEDS TO STEP IN AND FORCE A REVIEW. GM ALREADY CHARGED ME $3000+ LAST YEAR TO "FIX" THIS. NOW, THEY ARE ALREADY BALKING AT THE IDEA THAT THERE IS A GM MANUFACTURING OR QUALITY ISSUE CAUSING ALL THESE FREQUENT ISSUES. THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED.. SOON. *TR

IT WAS LOOKED AT THE GARAGE WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

VEHICLE WAS VANDALIZED RESULTING IN REPLACEMENT OF 2007 MODEL DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL CLUSTER FROM GM. REPLACEMENT PART SUPERSEDED 2007 MODEL FOR THE 2008 MODEL, AS THE 2008 MODEL IS "BETTER" DESIGN.

VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AND MAX OUT AT FUEL CUT-OFF. ACCELERATION IS UNRESPONSIVE TO BRAKE APPLICATION TO INCLUDE 100% APPLICATION, RESULTING IN SMOKE AND ODOR. VEHICLE CANNOT BE STOPPED OTHER THAN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, RPM WILL IMMEDIATELY CLIMB TO IN EXCESS OF 5000 RPM. ACCELERATION PROBLEMS NORMALLY OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT HAVE OCCURRED ALSO ON CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM THEN RESETS ITSELF AT ITS DISCRETION. CHEVEROLET HAS BEEN "WORKING" ON FINDING THE PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER, TOTAL IN EXCESS OF 90 DAYS. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER (VDR) TO IMAGE THE ISSUE. VDR HAS A CABLE PLUGGED INTO VEHICLE COMPUTER THE DANGLES BETWEEN THE GAS/BRAKE PEDAL AND DRIVER POSING AN ADDITIONAL HAZARD.

I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE SOFTWARE IN THE TAHOE TO REPROGRAM AUTO START. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CLATTERING SOUND AND THAT NOTHING WRONG WAS DETECTED WITH THE VEHICLE SO THAT IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. EVERYTHING WAS O.K. FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS. AUTO START WASN'T WORKING AGAIN. AT MY THIRD SERVICE VISIT TO THE DEALER I NOTICED THE TIRES WERE STARTING TO GET WASTED TOWARDS THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. WHEN THE DEALER WAS INFORMED HE INDICATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROTATED. AFTER ABOUT THREE TIRE ROTATIONS I NOTICED THE TIRES GETTING WARN OUT PRETTY BADLY ON THE INSIDE. HE INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE THAT IT NEEDS A FRONT END ALLINGNMENT ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAVING LESS THAN 12,000 MILES. THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE.TO THIS DAY THAT THE TIRES ARE WASTED MORE ON THE INSIDES THAN THE OUTSIDES.THIS LAST MONTH WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE LOUD CLATTERING SOUND IN THE ENGINE WHEN WE START THE VEHICLE.IT HAS GOTTEN ALOT WORSE I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT APPEARS TO BE OIL BUILD UP IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR THAT WHEN IT SITS FOR MORE THATN 3 HOURS IT APPARENTLY MAKES THIS LOUD SOUND WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. HE INDICATED THAT CHEVY IS LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND TO THIS DAY HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.I WAS FURIOUS WHEN THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY WELL KNOWS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT HOLD PROGRAMS, I.E., AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONS, READ OUT ON THE MESSAGE CENTER, ETC. ALSO, IF USING THE RADIO WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING, BATTERY GOES COMPLETELY DEAD IN ABOUT 30 MIN. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AFTER THREE HOURS OF INSPECTIONS, EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY DRAINED. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE ,AND FROM THE TIME HE PURCHASE THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT HAD A DIFFICULTY READING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DURING THE DAY. THE BACKGROUND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO READ. WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF ONE STILL COULD NOT READ THE SPEED ODOMETER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND SPOKE WITH GM, AND THEY STATED IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. *AK UPDATED 03/30/07. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN SLOWLY FOR 20 MILES OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY, BEFORE BEING TOWED. THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE GENERATOR, AND THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A 3RD TIME NOW (LOOK FOR MY OTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE ON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS/WINDSHIELD PROBLEMS) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PLUS A NUMBER OF MULTIPLE OTHER PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO REMEDY IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER SPRAY KEEP COMING ON ALL BY THEMSELVES AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF UNLESS YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THEY'VE REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE BUT THEY STILL COME ON RANDOMLY. THE HEATED SEATS SOMETIMES DON'T WORK AND IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO WORK YOU MUST RESTART THE CAR. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL RANDOMLY NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE MASTER SWITCH AND WILL ONLY START WORKING AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED (OIL CHANGE) THE MECHANIC NOTICED SEVERAL LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE, ONE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BELL HOUSING ANOTHER FROM THE RACK AND PINION AREA AND THE THIRD FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP HOUSING AREA. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CLEANED THE ENGINE PAN (I HAVE BEFORE PICTURES) AND ADDED AN ENGINE DYE AND THEY STATED THEY FOUND NO LEAKS, WE'LL CHECK IT AGAIN AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES. THEY ALSO CLEANED UP THE OTHER LEAKS FROM THE OTHER AREAS AND CLAIMED NO LEAKS. OUR MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED WHILE ROTATING THE TIRES THAT THE FRONT RIGHT ROTORS WERE DEEPLY GROOVED WHICH ANSWERS MY QUESTION AS TO WHY MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING. HE SAYS THAT WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR THEM TO BE GROOVED, AND IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE CALIPERS PROBABLY STICKING. SHOWED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE WRITER STATED IT WAS NORMAL, THAT CANNOT BE NORMAL. SO NOW THEY RESURFACED THE ROTOR AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEAKING. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS THE CAR LOCKED "ITSELF" I DID NOT LOCK IT, THE CAR KEYS WERE NOT EVEN IN MY HANDS ANYMORE THEY WERE HANGING ON THE KEY RACK. THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *JB

THE GAUGE CLUSTER PANEL IS SHROUDED WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE THE GAUGES DURING THE LATE DAY HOURS OR DIM LIGHT DAYS BECAUSE THE GAUGES ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. THEY ONLY ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY (OR IF YOU TURN THEM ON). I THINK THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR IS MIS-PROGRAMMED, BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ROUTINELY ACTIVATE TOO LATE, BUT ON ONE OCCASION IT ACTIVATED WHEN IT WAS JUST GETTING DIM, WEIRD. THE RUNNING LIGHTS ONLY ILLUMINATE THE FRONT RUNNING LIGHTS, NOT REAR TAIL LIGHTS, MAKING IT DANGEROUS UNDER DIM LIT CONDITIONS. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CENTERED IN THE SHROUDED PANEL BECAUSE THEY MADE IT SYMMETRICAL WITH A MATCHING TACHOMETER (RPM) GAUGE. WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT A TACHOMETER ON AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE? I WANT TO SEE THE SPEED THAT I AM TRAVELING. ALSO, IF YOU TILT THE STEERING WHEEL UP AT ONE SET POINT YOU CANT EVEN SEE THE GAUGES DEPENDING ON HOW TALL YOU ARE. *NM

THE HEATER FAN DOES NOT RUN WHEN I AUTOMATICALLY START THE VEHICLE WITH MY REMOTE STARTER/KEYFOB. WHAT GOOD IS IT TO START YOUR VEHICLE TO WARM IT UP IF THE FAN DOESN'T START UP TO DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD? THE GM REMOTE STARTER WAS INSTALLED AND PROGRAMMED BY THE DEALER AFTER PURCHASE. WHEN IT WAS CHECKED, THE FAN RAN AND THEN DIDN'T . I GOT IT TO RUN ONLY IF I AM 3 FEET AWAY AND START THE VEHICLE (OR SITTING IN IT) TOO FUNNY, I GUESS AT THAT POINT I MAY AS WELL USE THE KEY!@ *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WAS POORLY VISIBLE DURING THE DAYTIME. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE ALERTED, AND DETERMINED THIS WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED.

OUR FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 TAHOE LTZ ON MARCH 17,2006 THE HEATED SEATS DIDN'T WORK UNLESS WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND NEVER AGAIN SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. SECOND MALFUNCTION/INCIDENT WAS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES AND I COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF UNTIL I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD INCIDENT WAS THE SAME AS THE SECOND...THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY AND THE WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID CAME ON AGAIN, I COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF UNTIL I EXITED THE FWY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AUG 23, 2006 AND EXPLAINED ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS THAT HAD OCCURRED THUS FAR THEY COULD NOT FIND NOR DUPLICATE THE HEATED SEAT PROBLEM BUT THEY DID FIND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO THEY ORDERED IT. FORWARD TO TODAY SEPT 8, 2006 I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE FWY WHEN MY XM RADIO WENT OUT COMPLETELY I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE SATELLITE SO AS SOON AS I EXITED THE FWY I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE BUT THIS TIME ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO AND ONSTAR SERVICES WERE COMPLETELY DEAD! NO SERVICE AT ALL! I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT IN SO THAT THEY CAN CHECK IT OUT YET AGAIN, AND INSTALL THE WIPER MODULE WE WERE WAITING ON. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS, BEING THAT WE DID NOT PAY CHUMP CHANGE FOR THIS TAHOE FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY IT SHOULD BE A VERY RELIABLE VEHICLE! I AM NOT GOING TO BE HAVING TO TAKE A $50,000 VEHICLE TO THE SHOP EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR MALFUNCTIONS...WHAT A COMPLETE INCONVENIENCE THIS IS!! AND FROM WHAT I SEE THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS KIND. I SEE PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS AS WELL! *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITY TRACK CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED DURING EACH INCIDENT. THE RADIO WENT OFF SUDDENLY AND THE BACK UP CAMERA BLACKED OUT SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. EACH OCCASION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND ALL ELECTRICAL UNITS OPERATED NORMALLY.

WHEN VEHICLE'S EXTERIOR LAMP CONTROL IS IN THE "AUTO" POSITION DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, MOST OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES (SPEEDOMETER, RPM, GAS, BATTERY, TEMPERATURE, OIL) ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AND CANNOT BE READ WITHOUT TAKING ONE'S EYES OFF THE ROAD AND FOCUSING ON THE GAUGE IN QUESTION, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. VARIOUS FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SO THAT ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE EYES FROM THE ROAD (E.G., RADIO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL); THIS GOES COMPLETELY AGAINST THIS OBJECTIVE. ONE CAN BYPASS THIS PROBLEM BY SWITCHING THE EXTERIOR LAMP CONTROL FROM "AUTO" TO THE PARKING LAMP POSITION: THIS ILLUMINATES THE GAUGES BUT CUTS OUT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS. AN IMPROPERLY DESIGNED LIGHT SENSOR SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER, HIS SERVICE PEOPLE DETERMINED AFTER CHECKING THAT THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATION AND THERE WAS NO DEFECT. *NM
