2007 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

TWO CRACKS HAVE APPEARED IN THE DASH, ONE OF THEM IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG IS THE SECOND ONE IS DRIVER SIDE ON TOP. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG IS COMPROMISED, AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. *JS

THE R/F DOOR HANDLE CAUSED A LACERATION TO THE PASSENGER'S HAND. AN INSPECTION OF THE DOOR HANDLE REVEALED THAT THE CHROME PLATING IS PEELING AT THE MOLD SEEM, RESULTING IN A RAZOR SHARP EDGE ALONG THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE HANDLE. INSPECTION OF THE OTHER DOOR HANDLES REVEALED SIMILAR PEELING THAT CAN CUT ANYONE WHO COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE PEELING METAL PLATING. *JS

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. IT BECAME EVEN LOUDER IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE. WHILE IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED WATER GOT INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL, AND IT HAD TO BE REBUILT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. ALL 3 TIMES, INCLUDING THIS ONE, WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE PINION SEAL. THE FIRST REPAIR ON 11/06/09 WAS COVERED UNDER GMS MANUFACTURERS FACTORY WARRANTY. THE NEXT 2 REPAIRS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, COST ME A TOTAL OF $1,435.49. I CAN ONLY WONDER HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS DRIVING AROUND IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH A DIFFERENTIAL THAT WAS READY TO CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL? *TR

TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING MY WIPERS HAVE QUIT ON ME. AFTER FIRST TIME IT THREW A "NO START" CODE AND THE TRUCK LEFT ME STRANDED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AN AGENT WITH GMC AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I FILE A CLAIM WITH YOU. IT IS VERY SCARY AND I AM LOOSING CONFIDENCE IN MY TRUCK. LUCKILY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT VERY WELL COULD. GMC DOES NOT HAVE RECORD OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHERS BUT I WOULD ADVISE THAT IT BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE MY COMMENTS TAKE A MORE SERIOUS DIRECTION. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STARTING FROM CLOSE THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ANOTHER CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING FROM CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUES ON TO WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. ALSO PEELED CHROME ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS REVEALING SHARP EDGES. I THOUGH THESE ISSUE WERE A FLUKE. BUT, I AM FINDING THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AMONG MANY OWNERS. *TR

CAR HAS CRACKS IN DASHBOARD WITH LOOSE PIECES OF PLASTIC AROUND AIRBAG. WORRIED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC COULD INJURE SOMEONE. *JS

DRIVER SEAT BELT NOT LOCKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECURRING FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 131,194.

I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. THIS CRACK IS DIRECTLY BESIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IS ABOUT 1-2 INCHES LONG. THE OPPOSITE END OF THE CRACK (NOT CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG) HAS SPLINTERED OFF INTO MORE THAN JUST ONE CRACK. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WILL THIS CAUSE SHATTERING AND DEBRIS TO FLY INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF? *TR

GAPING CRACK THAT RUNS INTO AIR BAG AREA, THE EXACT SAME AS THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS ISSUE - GOOGLE SEARCH GM YUKON AND TAHOE CRACKED DASH GROUPS. *TR

STABILITRAK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON CAUSING THE TAHOE TO JERK. *TR

I WAS TURNING ONTO THE STREET WHERE MY RESIDENCE IS LOCATED, MAKING A RIGHT TURN (PASSENGER SIDE), AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD "POP" ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE INTERIOR. UPON PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I ACTIVATED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. I DISCOVERED MY DASH CRACKED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOWN INTO THE FRONT DEFOGGER VENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT IT IS QUITE WIDESPREAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD DETACHED NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

OK- JUST TO LET U KNOW WE NO LONGER HAVE THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TO SCARED THAT MY FAMILY WOULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE STABILITY TRACK WOULD CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO DECREASE ENGINE SPEED. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON A HIGHWAY, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESET UNTIL I COULD BRING IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER SEVEN TIMES AT DEALERSHIP AFTER SEVERAL YEARS, I COULD NOT TRUST IT. IT WAS NOT VERY DEPENDABLE. PLEASE NOW THAT THE LIGHT HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON REGARDING GM AND THE CRUZE VEHICLE, PLEASE RECALL THIS YEAR MODEL. SO SCARED SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE ALL RECORDS ON THIS VEHICLE. ( SOLD IT AND MOVED ONTO A HONDA PILOT) NEVER EVER WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS YEAR VEHICLE TO ANYONE. PLEASE TAKE MY INFORMATION SERIOUSLY. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AN ALARM I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE STARTED GOING OFF IN MY CAR AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO HIT A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN/POLE IN THE PARKING SPACE NEXT TO THE ONE I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF. I COULDN'T GET MY WHEEL TO TURN TO GET IT OFF THE SIGN AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF MY FENDER WOULD BE DEMOLISHED. WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE, IT ONLY TORE THE PAINT OFF THE FENDER AND A SMALL DENT, IT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE, BUT I WAS HARDLY GOING ANY SPEED AT ALL SINCE I WAS BACKING OUT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

BACK PASSENGER DOORS FILL UP WITH WATER AFTER RAIN. DOOR HAS A DRAIN HOLE BUT IS BLOCKED BY DUST SHIELD CAUSING WATER TO STAY IN DOOR AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CAR IS MOVING OVER BUMPS ON THE ROAD

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE "STABILITRAK OFF", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", ABS LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON, SIMULTANEOUSLY. MY SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES STARTED SWINGING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND THEN FLATLINED, MY POWER LOCKS, "LOCKED AND UNLOCKED" . WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED, THE WHOLE TAHOE JERKED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I ATTEMPTED TO RE START THE CAR AND IT WONT START. *TR

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

MY INTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS CHROME PEELING OFF AND IT SLICED MY FINGER WHILE CLOSING DOOR. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. TERRIBLE DESIGN. *TR

THE CHEVROLET TAHOE AND YUKON BOTH HAVE DEFECTS IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT HOUSES THE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY FACTOR THAT GMC IS AWARE OF. AFTER WRITING TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS REGARDING MY DASHBOARD, THEY SENT ME TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS, THE NEW DASHBOARD CRACKED IN THE SAME LOCATION. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT GMC BECOME LIABLE FOR REPAIRS. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING LINKS: HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/VEHICLECOMPLAINT/INDEX.XHTML HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/THE-UPPER-DASH-MAY-CRACK-143. *TR

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF; HAVE REPLACED DRIVER SIDE REAR (JAN 2014) AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT (FEB 2014). APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC CASING AROUND THE SCREW, WHICH MOUNTS THE HANDLE TO THE DOOR, CRACKS AND BREAKS. COST TO REPAIR IS ABOUT $150 EACH TIME (DOOR PANEL MUST BE REMOVED TO REPLACE). NOTE - BOUGHT TAHOE USED JULY 2013. DEALER WHERE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR REPAIR STATED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY SEE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION ON MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE...HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 - 2000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS ON 2007 TAHOE'S AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO HAVE COMPLAINTS ON CRACKED DASHBOARD...THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT ALL. THIS SUV COST ME 50K AND WE SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS....HELP!!! *TR

VEHICLE #1 (MY 2007 TAHOE LT3) WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY 278 IN POWDER SPRINGS, GA. VEHICLE 2 (TOYOTA 4RUNNER) WAS TRAVELING SOUTH. VEHICLE 2 CROSSED CENTER LINE AND WENT INTO A SPIN CRASHING INTO THE DOOR AND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND FENDER WHICH PROPELLED/LAUNCHED MY 2007 TAHOE ACROSS ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC INTO THE GUARD RAIL STRIKING THE GUARD RAIL WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT FENDER AND BUMPER. MY TAHOE WAS TOTALED BY INSURANCE. ONSTAR WHICH I HAVE PAID FOR SINCE 2007 DID NOT REGISTER THE CRASH AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED SEVERE WHIPLASH FROM BEING HIT IN THE DRIVER SIDE THEN AN SECOND IMPACT AS I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. MY SEAT BELTS PROTECTED ME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE IMPACT; HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND SIDE OF MY BODY THROWN ACROSS THE TAHOE CONSOLE FOR THE IMPACT OF THE GUARD RAIL, I SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY AS WELL. THE LEFT IMPACT AND THEN THE RIGHT SIDE IMPACT CAUSED SEVERE WHIPLASH AND ENSUING HEADACHES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER, REAR DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE FRACTURED AND BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DOORS WERE UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE INSIDE RETAINER SCREWS HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE HANDLES TO BREAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE DEFECT WAS RECURRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

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 H

CRACKED FRONT DASH ON RIGHT SIDE NEAR AIR BAG AFRAID THAT IT COULD DEPLOY PREMATURELY. *TR

THE DISPLAY CLUSTER IN DASH HAS QUIT WORKING, DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER IS COMPLETELY OUT AND THE PRND IS BARELY VISIBLE. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON 2007 YEAR MODEL CHEVROLET TAHOES. *TR

SIDE TRIM ON DOORS FADED BADLY AND HAD REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY ONLY TO FADE AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEY ARE NOW COMING LOOSE FROM DOOR PANELS. *TR

REAR DEFROST CABLE CAME OFF NUMEROUS TIMES HAD DEALER FIX AT LEAST TWICE AND THEN THEY REPLACED WHOLE BACK GLASS THEN CABLE STILL CONTINUED TO COME OFF . IT ONLY CAME OFF DURING MONTHS DEFROST WAS BEING USED, COLD WEATHER. CABLE CONNECTION SEEMED TO BE MELTING OFF FROM SOLDER. THIS TOO SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES. ALSO SINCE OWNING THIS TAHOE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE NEVER SEEMED TO BE WIPING FAST ENOUGH IN A HARD RAIN,( NOT A DOWNPOUR, JUST STEADY HEAVY RAIN) IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE THROUGH WINDSHIELD. WITH VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST, MOSTLY CHEVROLETS, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *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

CHEVY TAHOE DASH CRACKED AND BEGAN BREAKING APART. CRACK ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN SHARP PROJECTILES IF AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CRACK ALSO OCCURRED ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DASH WAS REPLACED IN JANUARY 2012 AND THEN CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN APPROX. 1.5 YEARS LATER IN 2013. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. A GOOGLE SEARCH OF CHEVY TAHOE/SUBURBAN CRACKED DASH WILL ILLUSTRATE THE EXTENT OF THIS DEFECT.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. THE DASH IN THE TRUCK CRACKED OUT OF NO WHERE AND IS VERY POORLY MADE. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP BY AUTOMAKER. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK ON MY DASH LEFT OF DRIVER HUMP AND ONE IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE FOUND THAT ALMOST ALL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN THEIR CHEVROLET TAHOES AND SILVERADOS AND MINE JUST HAPPENED TO HAPPEN AFTER WARRANTY. I NEED THIS FIXED. *TR

I GOT INTO MY CAR AT 1PM AND FOUND A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ANOTHER WHERE THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

DOOR HANDLES BROKE AWAY. CHROME DOOR HANDLES ON PASSENGER SIDE (SO FAR) HAVE BROKEN, BOTH WITH THE FORWARD ATTACHMENT (SCREW). CHEVROLET HAS A TSI ON THIS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS 2 CRACKS ON IT. ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDES, TOWARDS THE DOOR, AND ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, IN THE MIDDLE, DIRECTLY ABOVE THE AIRBAG. *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

THE DASH CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO A LARGER CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. GM KNOWS THIS IS A RAMPANT ISSUE BUT FAILS TO SHOW INTEGRITY AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE THOUSANDS OF CRACKED DASHES IN TAHOE, YUKON, AVALANCHE, SIERRA, AND SILVERADO TRUCKS. *TR

UPON PURCHASING MY 2007 TAHOE USED I NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AT CORNER OF AIRBAG WHICH IS CONCERNING DUE TO AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BE TURN ED INTO PROJECTILES. NOTICED THERE ARE MANY, MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES WITH IDENTICAL CRACKS AND LOCATIONS OF THEM. THANKS *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING WHICH SEVERELY CUT MY DAUGHTERS FINGER. *TR

THE FORWARD SPRAG UNIT BROKE WHICH ENDED UP NOT ONLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME OUT OF DRIVE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING BUT ALSO CAUSED SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION TO REQUITE AN ENTIRE REBUILD. FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS ARE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BECAUSE THE COMPANY REFUSES TO BACK THEIR PRODUCTS AND RECALL THE ISSUE, IT ENDS UP BECOMING A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON A FAMILY. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE FOLLOWING DIRECTLY BEHIND US WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE NOTE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPECT A QUALITY VEHICLE THAT SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND 100K MILES WITHOUT REQUIRING THIS KIND OF MAJOR REPAIR. *TR

AFTER FUELING THEIR IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS UPON START UP THAT LINGERS FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, ALSO FALSE CODES POP UP IN DASH DISPLAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT, STRONG BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR. PARKED VEHICLE, INVESTIGATED PROBLEM, AND INITIALLY COULD NOT DETERMINE A CAUSE. THE NEXT MORNING, ENTERED THE VEHICLE WITH A STRONG ODOR OF BURNT PLASTIC AND LIGHT SMOKE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. COULD NOT DETERMINE A CAUSE. VEHICLE STARTED UP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, APPEARED TO BE IN NORMAL RUNNING ORDER, UNTIL I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S MASTER CONTROL MODULE WAS NOT WORKING. PULLED THE ASSEMBLY APART TO FIND THE POWER CONNECTOR TO THE MODULE HAD SHORTED OUT AND BEGAN TO MELT THE MODULE ITSELF AND THE 6 PIN CONNECTOR, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF MASTER CONTROL MODULE AND ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR DID HAVE EVIDENCE OF INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION BUT SNUFFED ITSELF OUT BEFORE IT COULD PROGRESS FURTHER. THE MODULE AND CONNECTOR HAS SOOT - INDICATING COMBUSTION BEGAN TO OCCUR. MILEAGE 120,000+/- *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION, THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK, THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK INTERMITTENTLY AND THE UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTON HAD TO BE DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT LATCH BROKE SMALL PLASTIC PIECES COULD BE SEEN INSIDE WITH A FLASHLIGHT PREVENTING THE SEAT BELT FROM LATCHING. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK (20 MILES) WITHOUT WEARING A SEATBELT. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 TANK AND SUDDENLY THE GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE DRIVING DISTANT WENT BLANK. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE GAUGE READ 3/4 TANK, THEN WENT OFF AGAIN, THEN RESET ITSELF TO 1/2 TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN. IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL GETS LESS THAN 3/8 OF A TANK. *TR

THERE IS A MISFIRE AND STABILTRAC LIGHT THAT COMES AND GOES INTERMITTENT THE DEALER DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG I'VE CHANGED OUT ELECTRICAL PARTS ALL OVER THE TRUCK STILL CANT FIND. BATTERY ISSUES FROM BEGINNING OF TRUCKS PURCHASE NOW I DRIVE TODAY AND HAVE WATER LEAKING IN THE DOORS SO MUCH THAT FILL UP AND SPILL INSIDE.. I'VE LEARNED THAT GM REALLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER AND ITS REALLY SAD SEEING THIS IS MY THIRD TAHOE AND IMPALA SS,, REALLY THINKING TOYOTA IS GONNA GET MY BUSINESS UNLESS GM CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMER. *TR

PEELING CHROME OFF OF INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS CAUSED CUTS AND BLEEDING. CRACK ON DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. BROKEN DRIVER'S DOOR EXTERIOR HANDLE. *TR
