2007 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE FRACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE DASHBOARD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR EXTERIOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLES BECAME FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME HANDLE WAS PEELING AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

THE REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAD BROKEN OFF. IT WAS ORIGINALLY REPAIRED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER; HOWEVER IT BROKE AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT HAS SINCE BROKEN ABOUT 10 TIMES AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS WAS A $55K VEHICLE BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2007. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AS PEOPLE CAN BREAK IN. IN ADDITION, IT'S NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOOR AS THE HANDLE SEPARATES FROM THE BODY AND PUSHES BACK IN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CHILD'S HAND TO GET CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HANDLE. *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

RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF OF DOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE WITH AROUND 52,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK IS NEAR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SPACE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RUNS FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG HAVING DIFFICULTY DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT OR PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD BREAKING AWAY IN IT'S CURRENT STATE THAT MAY TURN INTO PROJECTILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR EXTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED UPON ENGAGEMENT. THE CHROME HANDLE PINCHED THE CONTACT'S RIGHT FINGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STABLE TRACK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE BETWEEN DEFROST VENT AND PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG. THEN IT CRACKED ABOVE THE GAUGES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WHICH NOW HAS STARTED RUNNING TOWARD DRIVER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WILL SHATTER IF EITHER OF THE AIR BAGS EXPLODE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG 2007 GM TAHOES, SUBURBANS AND YUKONS. THE LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AFFECTING VAST NUMBERS OF VEHICLES. *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

MY CHEVY TAHOE HAS HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE IN 2007. THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER 2500 MILES AFTER A RECENT SERVICE AND STATED THAT THE LEVEL IS LOW. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO STATE IT IS "NORMAL" OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM.

THERE ARE DASHBOARD CRACKS IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS 2? LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF ITS AN ANOMALY. IT ISN'T. I AM A MEMBER OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WHO CURRENTLY HAS 250 MEMBERS AND HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION AMONG HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS. I AM WORRIED THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH IS A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. I CAN IMAGINE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP WHO HAVE HAD 3 DASHES REPLACED BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECT. PLEASE REFER TO THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO WHERE IT SHOWS THE CRACKS ON SEVERAL GMC AND CHEVY AUTOS. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8 PLEASE SEE THE FACEBOOK GROUP FOR MORE CONFIRMATION AND INFORMATION ON THE DEFECT. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ CURRENTLY THE NHTSA HAS 98 COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE RELATING TO THE DASH CRACKS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHVEHICLES ALSO MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME UP AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I ASKED IF THE CRACK IN THE DASH ON AIR BAG AFFECTS THAT AND THEY ALSO REPLIED THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CODE JUST SAYS SOMEWHERE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BRAKES.

THERE WERE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AND GM REPLACED AT NO CHARGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEW DASH DEVELOPED ANOTHER CRACK...THIS TIME IT IS A FAIRLY LARGE PIECE THAT HAS SPLIT AND COULD FALL OUT. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE IT IF I WOULD PAY A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. I REFUSED AS THE INITIAL DASH PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY PERIOD. THE FACT THAT IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN WHILE BEING NO MORE THAN 2 YEARS OLD IS INDICATIVE OF A MATERIAL DEFECT ON THEIR PART. I HAVE "NEVER" HAD A DASH IN ANY VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED (FORD, NISSAN, MAZDA) CRACK EXCEPT FOR GM. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT PIECES OF A GM DASH WILL NOT FLY INSIDE THE CABIN OF A VEHICLE AND STRIKE SOMEONE SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE. THERE ARE WELL OVER 200 PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK COMPLAINING ABOUT THE INFERIOR DASH QUALITY OF SOME GM VEHICLES AND ARE FRUSTRATED THAT GM HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE ALSO MEANS THAT I TAKE A FINANCIAL HIT SHOULD I TRY TO SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DASH. GM IS WRONG. *JB

WENT TO DINNER AND DROVE HOME WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, STOPPED AND BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD. SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE RPM'S RACED TO 4K AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN. NO DRIVE, OR 3RD. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE IT IN REVERSE AND SLIGHTLY IN 2ND BUT HAD TO STRAIN UP HILL TO GET OUR CAR AND KIDS HOME IN THE DARK IN 1ST GEAR. GOT HOME AND CHECKED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN FLUSHED 14K MILES AGO AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION NOT CAUSING THIS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS PINK, CLEAN AND MEASURED WHERE IT SHOULD ON THE DIPSTICK. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET IN WHICH PEOPLE HAD THE SAME NO FORWARD MOVEMENT IN 3 OR 4 BUT 1, 2 AND REV. OK. FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE 4L60E TRANSMISSION THAT GM HAS PRODUCED DUE TO A FAULTY FORWARD SPRAG COMPONENT THAT WAS BUILT WITH CHEAP STAMPED METAL AND THEY RELEASED A TSB PERTAINING TO AN UPDATED COMPONENT! I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH TAHOE AND HAVE MADE IT TO 113K MILES ON MY TRANSMISSION. IM BEING CHALLENGED TO PROVIDE RECORDS OF MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE BEING DONE. I HAVE WORKED FOR A CAR DEALER AS A SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 10+ YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED ALL OF MY PARTS FROM A GM DEALER TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WOULD RUN AND DRIVE PROPERLY. I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH THOUGH TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP LABOR RATE AS I HAVE ONE OF MY TECHNICIAN TO PERFORM

THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT BOTH BROKE OFF. ALSO, THE CHROME ON THE INSIDE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S FRONT IS CRACKING OFF THE DOOR HANDLES AND I SLICED MY LEFT HAND PRETTY BADLY. CONSIDERING THIS IS A $55,000+ VEHICLE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL. *TR

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

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN MY TAHOE WHICH GIVES ME EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IF I WERE IN A COLLISION THE DASH WOULD BREAK APART AND SEND PROJECTILES INTO ME OR MY FAMILY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMT900 SERIES VEHICLES AND GM WILL DO NOTHING!!! *TR

YES I AM WRITING TO SAY THAT WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ AND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE FALLING OFF. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY ARE COMING OFF LIKE THIS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING OUT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.. I AM THINKING THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT FORWARD TOWARDS THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS.... THANKS IN ADVANCE *TR

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED. 2 LARGE CRACKS GO ACROSS DASH. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WHO IS SIX YEARS WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHEN THE HANDLE CAME OFF THE BODY OF THE CAR. *TR

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING LOOSE. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLES. THEY STILL OPEN THE DOOR BUT I AM AFRAID THEY WILL BREAK OFF COMPLETELY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED ACROSS THE AIR BAG HOUSING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHO STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE COMING HOME FROM A 15 HOUR TRIP TO OKLAHOMA WHEN THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF. THE NEXT THING THAT CAME ON WAS SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, THE VEHICLE DIDN'T LOSE POWER AND THEY DROVE ON TO A GAS STATION FOR FUEL AND RESTROOM BREAK. WHEN SHE GOT BACK IN THE CAR SHE TURNED THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE JUST KEPT TRYING TO CRANK ITSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE WHOLE TIME THIS WAS GOING ON THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE SHE GAVE UP AND CALLED SOMEONE TO DRIVE 2 HOURS PICK HER AND MY DAUGHTER UP SO THEY COULD GET HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO GET THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND GM AND THE DEALERS HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIX IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM HASN'T RECALLED THE VEHICLES AS THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BUT HOW CAN GM GO ON KNOWING THAT THIS IS A ISSUE WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO LAWSUITS WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A 07 CHEVY TAHOE LT & HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE CHEVY DEALER. ORIGINALLY ALL MY CAR DID WAS TURN OFF THE STABILTRAC AND SAY SERVICE STABILITAC THEN IT STARTED TO TURN IT SELF INTO SAFETY MODE WHERE IT REDUCES ENGINE POWER &WON'T LET YOU BASICALLY DRIVE,THEN IT STARTED LOCKING THE DOORS BY ITSELF I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIPS GARAGE TELL ME ITS A DIFFERENT ISSUE EVERY TIME, EVERYTHING FROM THE BEARINGS TO A TINY CORD. WELL MY CAR HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY PUT ITSELF IN SAFETY MODE FOR NO REASON&A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE GOING THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT SUDDENLY SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED SERVICE STABILTRAC AGAIN & SUDDENLY DROPPED MY RATE OF SPEED TO 15 MILES TO PER HOUR WITHOUT ANY PRE WARNING.I BARELY MADE IT TO THE NEXT LANE AND THEN THE SHOULDER AND CAME SO CLOSE TO GETTING INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT I WAS SO SHAKEN.I LET MY CAR SIT FOR A MINUTE&LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO BEING FINE.I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT (AFTER A $200 BILL TO LOOK AT IT) THE NEXT DAY IT DID IT AGAIN THIS TIME ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH.I WAS SO SHAKEN UP WITH MY LITTLE GUYS IN THE CAR THAT I CONTACTED THE CHEVY CORP WHO AT FIRST SAID THEY WERE AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SOME 08 & NEWER TAHOES LIKE THIS THEN WHEN I ASKED THEM TO FIX MINE THEY RECANTED THEIR STORY SAYING THEY NEVER HEARD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PANEL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOOR LOCKS GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT SUPPOSEDLY. I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT. 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!!!!! THEY ARE LUCKY MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND THAT NOBODY WAS HURT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE FILED THE BIGGEST LAWSUIT THEY EVER SAW!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME MATERIAL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS PEELING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A LACERATION TO THE RIGHT HAND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PANEL AND SHIFT LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ERRONEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR

MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING FROM OUR STREET ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE NEARLY SHUT DOWN. HER SPEED WAS REDUCED TO JUST 5 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD FLASHED ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. 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. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I NOTICED A COUPLE OF LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH AFTER PURCHASE. THIS VEHICLE IS PRONE TO DASH CRACKS DUE TO FAULTY PLASTIC (ONLINE RESEARCH). I'M CONCERNED THERE MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE CRACK AROUND THE AIRBAG. *TR

REAR DRIVERSIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON CHEVY BLOGS....THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR GM-HANDLES BRAKE REGULARLY, VERY COSTLY TO FIX, AND FOR MOST OF US OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO NORMAL WEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I GOT OUT OF MY CAR ONE NIGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE GOT BACK IN IT THE NEXT MORNING TO A HUGE CRACK IN THE DASH. TWO WEEKS LATER THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE OTHER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAGS. AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS PEELING. *TR

ME AND MY DAUGHTER HAVE BEEN CUT ON OUR HANDS BECAUSE BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR CHROME HANDLE IS PEELING OFF. I HAD TO PUT ELECTRICAL TAPE ON IT, SINCE BOTH ARE AS SHARP AS A RAZOR. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE, 2WD, LT1 ON 02/20/2013. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CHROME ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WAS FLAKING OFF. I RECEIVED A CUT TO MY HAND WHEN OPENING ONE OF THE INTERIOR DOORS. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING APART. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THIS MODEL AND IT APPEARS THAT NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THERE IS ALSO A CRACK IN THE DASH BETWEEN THE DEFROST VENT AND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THESE SAME FLAWS WITH THIS SAME MODEL. ALSO, THE TRIM ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND RADIO BUTTONS ARE PEELING OFF. THE 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE SEEMS TO BE PLAGUED WITH THESE THREE PART FAILURES AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. A CUT MAY NOT SEEM SEVERE, UNTIL THE CUT DOESN'T HEAL PROPERLY, LEAVES PERMANENT SCARING AND POSSIBLY THE ADDED THREAT OF INFECTION. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WHO STATED THAT THESE ISSUES WERE NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I AM INTERESTED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO CORRECT THESE FLAWS. THIS IS THE 3RD TAHOE I HAVE OWNED AND CONSIDERED MYSELF A LOYAL TAHOE OWNER. THIS IS THE ONLY MODEL YEAR THAT I HAVE EVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING THE FLAWS AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE MILEAGE. *TR

AFTER DRIVING APPROX 3 MILES, MY "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 APPROX 3 MILES FURTHER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, ATTEMPTED TO RE START AND IT WONT START. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TWO WEEKS. I HAVE TAKEN TO A CHEVY DEALER TWICE TO DIAGNOSE. BOTH TIMES THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE, AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS RESET THE ERROR CODES. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND CONTINUES TO INCLUDING PORTIONS NEAR AND AROUND THE AIRBAGS. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT(DISPLACEMENT ON DEMAND) FEATURE. THE VEHICLE CONSUMES APPROXIMATELY 1QUART EVERY 1000 MILES...THE OIL IS BURNED THROUGH THE PISTONS CAUSING BLUE-ISH COLORED SMOKE TO COME OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. THE VEHICLE COMES NOT A DROP OF OIL IF THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT IS TURNED OFF. EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE FROM GM THAT I HAVE TESTED HAS HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT FEATURE. AFTER THAT FEATURE IS TURNED OFF, NO OIL IS CONSUMED. 1 QUART OF OIL IS BURNED IS AS LITTLE AS 300 MILES. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AT ANY RATE OF SPEED DUE TO THE OIL PRESSURE CAUSED BY NOT HAVING ENOUGH OIL IN THE ENGINE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS TRIED FIXING MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS BY REPLACING THE LIFTERS, CAMSHAFT, PISTONS, PISTON RINGS, ETC..THIS FIX HAS NOT WORKED AND MANY VEHICLES CONTINUE TO HAVE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLES AFFECTED RANGE FROM YEAR 2007 AND UP (PRESENT). MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS VARIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DRIVING AND GREATLY INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. GENERAL MOTORS HAS HAD VARIOUS REPAIRS BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR GM SUV'S WITH THE 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE IS WAY MORE SERIOUS THAN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED MORE BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ALSO DAMAGES THE EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT B

I WENT TO PULL ON THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE WHOLE DOOR HANDLE SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO IT DIDN'T COST US ANYTHING TO GET IT FIXED. THIS TIME HOWEVER IT IS NOT SO I'M SURE WE WILL BE OUT A NICE CHUNK OF CHANGE TO GET IT FIXED. POOR QUALITY CONSIDERING THIS IS A $50K+ VEHICLE! GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. *TR

I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ANOTHER NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN REGARDING THE CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS WHETHER THIS WILL EFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER KEEPS SPREADING, THIS CONCERNS ME AS WELL SINCE A PIECE MAY BREAK OFF AND CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS INSIDE THE DASHBOARD. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. HE ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE DASHBOARDS AND HOPED THAT A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SEE IF I QUALIFY FOR A "GOODWILL DASH REPLACEMENT". I SENT AN EMAIL TO GM. I SPOKE TO 3 GM REPS BEFORE I SPOKE TO THE REP ASSIGNED TO MY CASE,[XXX]. [XXX] SAID THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE UNDER THE GOODWILL PROGRAM BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I ADVISED HER THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. (THIS CAN BE REFERENCED AT HTTP://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/TAHOE-SUBURBAN-25/2007-TAHOE-LTZ-DASH-HAS-CRACKED-26133/ ). I BELIEVE GM IS ABSOLUTELY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THEY EVEN OFFER THIS "GOODWILL DASH REPLACEMENT" PROGRAM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DOOR HANDLES, EXTERIOR, PASSENGER SIDE. PRODUCT DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FAILURE... OR BOTH. BOTH DOOR HANDLES HAVE FAILED. FIRST, THE REAR HANDLE BECAME DISCONNECTED INSIDE THE DOOR ALLOWING THE ENTIRE HANDLE ASSEMBLY TO ROTATE AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR, CAUSING THE HANDLE TO BECOME INOPERABLE. SECOND, THE FRONT PASSENGER EXTERIOR HANDLE, OPERABLE PORTION, CAME OFF COMPLETELY, RENDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER THE FRONT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FROM THE EXTERIOR. IT IS CLEAR FROM MULTIPLE INTERNET POSTS THIS IS A PRODUCT DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING FAILURE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THE PEELING CHROME LAYER THAT CAUSES PERSONAL INJURY. CHEVROLET AND ITS DEALERS ARE PROFITING FROM THIS DEFECT AT THE EXPENSE OF CONSUMERS. RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED! AND CONSUMERS WHO HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR SHOULD BE REIMBURSED 100%. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKED DRIVER SIDE. *TR

THE MOLDED PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS AN 8" CRACK THAT BEGINS WHERE THE DASH MEETS THE WINDOW AREA AND EXTENDS UP TOWARDS THE DRIVER AND EXTENDS UP THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROUNDED PORTION OF THE DASH THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTATION. THE TRUCK IS GARAGED AND I USE A WINDOW SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE. UPON MUCH RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2007 TAHOE SPECIFICALLY, DEALER CONFIRMED, WITH DASHBOARD CRACKING IN THE EXACT LOCATION I IDENTIFIED ABOVE AS WELL AS ON THE RIGHT SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE PLASTIC IS DEFECTIVE IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND ALTHOUGH IT IS INITIALLY THOUGHT OF AS COSMETIC (STILL NO EXCUSE), MOST IMPORTANTLY I FEAR THAT THE COMPROMISED DASH WILL COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SHOULD IT BE NEEDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO CHEVY WHICH I HAVE DONE AND A RECALL MUST BE DEMANDED TO MITIGATE ANY AIR BAD DEPLOYMENT CONCERNS AS WELL AS TO RESOLVE THE TERRIBLE COSMETIC DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND AS I TOOK OFF THE STABILITRACK SAID IT NEED TO BE SERVICED AND THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. NOW 4 DAYS LATER I WAS IN THE CAR WASH PARKED WITH THE CAR RUNNING WHILE I WAS VACUUMING AND LOST ALL POWER AND STABILITRACK DID THE SAME THING. AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES OR SO I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN. THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRUE "FIX" AT THIS POINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 72 MPH ON HIGHWAY STABILITRAK LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE BOGGED DOWN WITH NO POWER. AFTER ALMOST GETTING HIT BY 2 SEMIS I GOT THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD.. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND CHEVY NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS.. SOMEONE IS GONNA GET KILLED. *TR

GM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH DASHBOARDS CRACKING NEAR WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLES. THERE IS ALSO CRACKING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT POD. ALL CRACKS ARE IN IDENTICAL AREAS OF THESE SAME MODEL YEARS AND NEWER. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES (2007 TAHOE AND 2007 AVALANCHE WITH THE SAME CRACKS AND WILL FILE TWO COMPLAINTS). *TR UPDATED 01/29/14

FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. NOTICING SUBSTANTIAL CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD INCLUDING NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SITE. COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE TEARING OF AIRBAG OR PLASTIC BEING THROWN TOWARDS PASSENGERS IF AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH CHROME PEELING FROM THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CAUSING CUTS TO THE HANDS WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY OR USED AS A WORK TRUCK. HAS ALSO BEEN GARAGE KEPT. *TR
