2007 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVY TAHOE AND I HAVE CUT MY FINGERS ON BOTH DOOR HANDLES. IT SEEMS THAT THEY USED CHEAP CHROME PLATED HANDLES AND IT IS PEALING. IT IS RAZOR SHARP. I AM JUST GLAD NEITHER MY WIFE OR KIDS GOT CUT. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS AND SEE IF THERE ARE OTHERS. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 36,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED! THANKS *TR

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 BC

I OWN A 2007 TAHOE LT. THE DASH IS CRACK ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER AND BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. MY INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES ARE ALSO PEELING AND ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO SLICE A FINGER. THESE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE PRETTY COMMON AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. YOU WONDER WHY CUSTOMERS DECIDE TO BUY IMPORTS. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A BIG PART OF REPEAT BUSINESS. *TR

THE CHROME "PAINT" ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS FLAKED OFF AND WHEN YOU OPEN OR SHUT THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, IT GIVES YOU A "PAPER CUT." IT HAS CUT MY FINGERS SEVERAL TIMES, YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF OPENING OR SHUTTING THE DOOR BEFORE YOU DO IT BECAUSE IT IS SECOND NATURE SO IT IS HARD TO DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT IT. *TR

THE CHROME ON MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE OF MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS SEPARATING AT THE SEEM. WHEN I WENT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE EDGE CUT MY TWO FINGERS BADLY, MORE THAN JUST A PAPER CUT. THE CHROME IS AS RIGID AS A PIECE OF ALUMINUM FROM A SODA CAN. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICE A CRACK IN SEVERAL PLACES ON MY DASHBOARD. THE MOST VISIBLE CRACK WAS LOCATED NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM AFRAID THAT BECAUSE THIS CRACK IS NEXT TO THE AIRBAG IT MAY POSSIBLE CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO A PASSENGER OR CAUSE ME TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. THE CHROME ON THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE IS PEELING. I HAVE CUT MYSELF SEVERAL TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR. SHORT TERM SOLUTION WAS TO PUT TAPE ON THE HANDLE OR A BAND AID. I ALREADY HAVE 6 CUTS (JUST LIKE PAPER CUTS) IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

I JUST READ THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON THE 2007 TAHOE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES, AND SO HAS MY WIFE. IT'S THE SEAM WHERE THE TWO PIECES OF 'FAKE' CHROME COME TOGETHER AT THE TOP OF THE DOOR HANDLE - THINK OF A RAZOR SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO OPEN YOUR DOOR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER (JOHN L. SULLIVAN, ROSEVILLE, CA) WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO - PRETTY TYPICAL OF A DEALERSHIP I FIND. SO I'VE JUST BEEN DEALING WITH IT; THAT AND NASTY CUTS ON MY FINGERS. I FINALLY TOOK A RAZOR AND SHAVED THE PIECES DOWN, BUT NOW THE WHITE PLASTIC OF THE HANDLE IS EXPOSED. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT3 THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CHROME PLATING IS SHARP , ESPECIALY WHERE IT MEETS AT THE SEAM. I HAVE CUT MYSELF SEVERAL TIMES ON THESE HANDLES( BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES ARE THIS WAY) DOOR HANDLES ON A VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ONLY 3 YEARS OLD SHOULDNT FAIL LIKE THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. THE CHROME PLATING FROM THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE SHARP AND ON OCCASION I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO MOVE MY FINGERS OVER THE AREA WHERE THE PLATING MEETS AT A SEAM. I HAD A SLIGHT CUT PREVIOUSLY FROM THEM. *TR

CRACKED DASHBOARD IN 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. LARGE CRACK IN CORNER TO THE LEFT OF THE "HUMP" WHERE SPEEDOMETER, ETC IS LOCATED. SMALLER CRACK IN THE CORNER WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL SITS. CONTACTED GM TO REPORT DEFECT AND THEY OPTED NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WAS A PROBLEM. CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE AIRBAG TO BECOME UNSTABLE. WILL IT DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY BECAUSE THE SURROUNDING PANEL IS COMPROMISED? I HAVE LOCATED 20+ OTHERS ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME DEFECT. *TR

TIRE SERVICE WARNING LIGHT ON, CRACKLING SOUNDS THROUGH THE AUDIO SPEAKERS, REAR DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ON, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WATER GO ON WHILE DRIVING, STEREO COMES ON WHILE DRIVING WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN ON. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. 3-WAY CHEVROLET HAS ATTEMPTED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, MOST RECENTLY CLAIMING IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM WHICH WAS REPLACED IN 2010, BUT JUST YESTERDAY 4/8/2010 WHILE DRIVING IT MADE THE CRACKLING SOUNDS THROUGH THE STEREO. IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED. *TR

2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ CRACKED DASH, I HAVE BEEN TO MANY DIFFERENT WEBSITES WITH PICTURES OF THE SAME EXACT CRACKED DASHBOARDS AS MINE, 3 AND HALF YEARS A DASH SHOULD NOT CRACK, THESE ARE LUZURY VEHICLES AND EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD BE MADE WITH GOOD QUALITY...HERE IS ONE SITE THAT I CAME ACROSS WITH THE SAME CRACKS AS MINE HTTP://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=26133&PAGE=3

CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACKS OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD POSSIBLY BE A HAZARD. THIS SEEM TO BE A COMMON CONDITION IN THE 2007 TAHOE/YUKON. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

5 CRACKS IN VEHICLE'S DASH; 2 ON DRIVER'S SIDE, 3 ON PASSENGER SIDE AROUND AIRBAG. STARTED APPEARING LAST FALL AND GM WAS NOTIFIED. INFORMED BY GM, WITHOUT LOOKING AT VEHICLE, THAT IT WAS NOT A MANUFACTURING/PRODUCT ISSUE AND MY CASE WAS CLOSED. *TR IF PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE PLASTIC DASH WILL EXPLODE INTO PIECES.

2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT3 DASHBOARD CRACKED.

I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT DIRECTLY WITH GM, THEY REPLIED THAT THE CRACK DASH IS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT (THEY NEVER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE).

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 CHEVY TAHOE IN JULY OF 2007. SEPTEMBER 2007 I HAD TO TAKE THE SUV IN TO HAVE THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CABLE REATTACHED TO THE REAR WINDOW, IT FELL OFF. AFTER DISCUSSING WITH SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT, THE WIRE WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND THE TENSION FROM OPENING THE REAR GLASS CAUSES THE CABLE TO BREAK FREE. THEY HAD A WINDOW COMPANY RE-ATTACH IT, ONE WEEK LATER, I WAS BACK IN AND A NEW REAR WINDOW WAS ORDERED. IN NOVEMBER 2008 I HAD THE CABLE BREAK FREE ON THE REPLACED REAR WINDOW, I HAD IT REPAIR, THAN THE OTHER SIDE DETACHED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISE THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED BASED ON THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE RELEASED SERVICE CORPORATION BULLETIN (#03-08-48-006E). I FEEL SINCE THIS BULLETIN WAS RELEASED, THIS IS A CONFESSION OF A DESIGN DEFECT AND THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE. THEY ORDERED A NEW WINDOW AND IT WAS CHARGED TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY, I HAD TO PAY 100.00. I FEEL THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A RECALL. *TR
