2007 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

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. VEHICLE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD LIKELY TO RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH. I AM UNABLE TO AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ENJOY AND UTILIZE THE VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSES TO WHICH IT WAS INTENDED FOR/PURCHASED AND HAVE BEEN PLACED IN A SEVERELY RISKY POSITION BY CHEVROLET. IN ADDITION, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE STABILITRAC WHERE IT ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES WITHOUT APPLICATION OF THE BUTTON. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN RAISED WITH CHEVROLET BUT NO CODES WERE READ DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A RESET (PER CHEVROLET). HOWEVER, WHEN STABILITRAC PROBLEM SURFACED YET AGAIN, PROBLEM WAS WITNESSED BY CHEVROLET SERVICE REP BUT NO WORK COULD BE

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V441000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE TECHNICIAN DISCONNECTED THE FUSE BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD SPORADICALLY FLICKER ON AND OFF. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE REMAINS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 33,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SPARKS UNDERNEATH THE HOOD WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE HOUSED. HE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD "WHOOF" SOUND AS IF SOMETHING HAD IGNITED. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND DIALED 911. FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE ARRIVED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS PROBABLY AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT IS WAITING TO HEAR IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 27,000.

WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH OUR FRONT WIPERS TURNING ON AND SQUIRTING WIPER FLUID IN THE OFF (YES THE OFF) POSITION WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO STOP THE WIPERS AND SQUIRTING FLUID. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR NEW SUV. IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN WE BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THERE WAS VERY DENSE WHITE SMOKE BEFORE THE WIPERS STARTED MOVING AND SHOOTING FLUID (ONCE AGAIN...IT WAS TOTALLY IN THE OFF POSITION!!!). NOW THE INTERMITTENT WIPER MODE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THESE OCCURRENCES ARE VERY, VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE! WE JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR OUR 2007 TAHOE BUT I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE FIRE RISK BECAUSE I KNOW WE DEFINITELY HAVE AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE RECALL. CAN WE GET THE RECALL FIXED BEFORE NOVEMBER 1, 2008 AND STILL HAVE IT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? THE LAST EPISODE WAS THIS MONTH. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE HAS DRASTIC FLUCTUATIONS AND MIS-READINGS. I CAN GET IN THE TRUCK, START IT AND THE GAUGE MAY READ 1/4-1/2 FULL AND THE ESTIMATED GAS RANGE MAY SAY 130 MILES. I CAN THEN TURN THE TRUCK OFF, RESTART IT, AND THE READING SOMETIMES GOES DOWN TO EMPTY AND I'LL GET A "LOW FUEL" WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN VERY REGULARLY, BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN THE TANK IS AROUND 1/4 FULL (OR SUPPOSED TO BE 1/4 FULL). THIS CREATES SITUATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I THINK I'VE GOT PLENTY OF TIME AND MILEAGE BEFORE HAVING TO FIND A GAS STATION. IF I STOP AT A REST STOP AND RESUME TRAVEL, MY READING MAY SUDDENLY GO TO LOW FUEL OR VERY LOW FUEL STATUS, IN THE MIDDLE OF NO-WHERE. MY SON IN LAW HAS A SIMILAR VEHICLE (2007, CADILLAC ESCALADE) BUILT ON THE SAME CHASSIS AND EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE, SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A PRODUCT DEFECT AT HAND. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ALL SIDE ROOF RAIL BAGS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY REASON AND ACCIDENT . *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 HOURS WHEN A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD AND CAUSED THE FRONT TIRE TO EXPLODE. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE MELTED ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY A FOOT FROM THE HOUSE AND AS HIGH AS THE TWO STORY HOUSE. AFTER HEARING THE EXPLOSION, THE CONTACTS HUSBAND USED A GARDEN HOSE TO KEEP THE FLAMES AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE THAT BELONGS TO THE CONTACT WAS DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. THERE WAS ALSO PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE SIDING AND BRICKS ON THE HOUSE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE, FILED A REPORT, AND STATED THAT THE CAUSE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO GENERAL MOTORS TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 9000.UPDATE 09/10/08 *CW UPDATED 09/17/08. *JB

I JUST BOUGHT A USED CHEVROLET TAHOE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND UNFORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS OVER 36,000 MILES BUT IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. HERE IS MY COMPLAINT. MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING FROM TEXAS TO NEVADA AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DO NOT COVER THIS ANYMORE SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR SERVICING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM COVERAGE SHOULD BE CONNECTED WITH MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND IT IS ALREADY GIVING ME AN AIRBAG SERVICING LIGHT. WHY CAN'T GENERAL MOTORS FIX THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE? CHEVY TAHOE 2007. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, ALL OF THE AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO CRASH AND NO PRIOR WARNING BEFORE THE DEPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO HIGH VOLTAGE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 14,000. UPDATED 09/15/08 *BF UPDATED 09/17/08. *JB

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE'VE HAD TIRES REPLACED TWICE, ROTORS, AND BRAKES RESURFACED, AND REAR-END DROPPED SO THE SPRINGS COULD BE ADJUSTED. BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH THE ROARING IN THE MOTOR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 20 DAYS ON AND OFF LOOKING FOR THIS NOISE. I'VE HAD IT TO THEM 8 TIMES OR SO TRYING TO FIND IT. THE NOISE DIDN'T START UNTIL AROUND 3,000 MILES, AND GETS WORSE AND EASIER TO DUPLICATE WITH MORE MILES. THE FIRST 7 VISITS THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND WAS CLUELESS TO IT, BUT THE LAST VISIT, AND 4 DAYS OF IT, THEY AND GM DECIDED IT WAS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE, AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ON THE OTHERHAND, ONE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S COMING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN, BUT OTHERS SAY IT'S AN IMPROPER BALANCE IN THE MOTOR. EITHER WAY I'M PAYING TOO MUCH MONEY FOR WHATEVER IT IS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED. THE ONLY TIME HE WAS ABLE TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WAS WHEN THE SUN SHINED ON THEM DIRECTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER; HOWEVER, THE DESIGN WAS CHANGED ON THE 2008 VEHICLES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,090 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5.UPDATE 09/10/08 *CW UPDATED 09/17/08. *JB

OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL NOT START. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR OCCASIONS WHERE MY FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING READY TO TAKE A TRIP AND WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON IT WOULD NOT START. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE JUMP STARTED TWICE AND HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO ANTWERPEN CHEVROLET TWICE AND EACH TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REAL PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AN NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THIS HAS BECOME A BIG PROBLEM FOR MY FAMILY AND UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY HELP FROM ANYONE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF THE FAULTY CHROME PLATING PEELING FROM THE INTERIOR DOOR RELEASE HANDLES,CAUSING A RAZOR TYPE CUT TO TIPS OF OUR FINGERS THEREFORE CAUSING LOSS OF BLOOD. THE INTERIOR DOOR RELEASE HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 10 MONTHS RESULTING IN FAILURE SOON AFTER. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED 6/28/2008 WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE WHICH CUT MY FINGER. THERE IS NO VISUAL WARNING WHEN THE CHROME PLATING SEAM FAILS, BUT TO RECEIVE THE RAZOR 'LIKE' CUT TO THE FINGER WHICH IS VERY PAINFUL. OUR LEVEL OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BLOOD AILMENTS SUCH HAS DIABETES TYPE II,ENEMA, IS OF GREAT CONCERN. I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HAVING TO WRAP TAPE ON THE EXISTING HANDLES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED TO PREVENT WHAT COULD CAUSE PERMANENT BODILY INJURY WHICH I FEEL IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IF FURTHER INJURIES RESULT IN THE USE OF THIS VEHICLE, I AM REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR A PERMANENT RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. YOUR CONCERN WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FROM MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. *TR

GAS MILEAGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE ADVERTISED 21MPG. I AM LUCKY IF I GET 13MPG ON REGULAR GASOLINE. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE E85 SCAM - LESS MPG AND ONLY $0.30 CHEAPER THAN REGULAR GASOLINE? THE DEALER SCAMMED ME INTO BELIEVING IT WAS AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON OF E85 AND GAS.

I LEASED A 2007 TAHOE IN JUNE 2006. AFTER ABOUT 10K OR 15K I BEGAN TO HEAR ALOT OF NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. I ASKED THE TAHOE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AN LOUDER. SAME DEALERSHIP STATES IT NOT A PROBLEM. THE CLICKING, SQUEALING NOISE HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. THIRD TIME SAME DEALERSHIP STATES THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. MAY 21, 2008, I GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE AND BECAUSE ALL MY FRIENDS SAY THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH GM MODEL, I.E., TAHOE YUKONS SUBURBUNS. THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT THAT IS INSTALLED WEARS OUT, AND HAS TO BE REPLACED, IN MODELS DATING BACK TO 98 AT LEAST. HE STATES I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR. I RESEARCHED AN FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS ABOUT THE VERY PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ABOUT. THEY HAVE BEEN USING THE SAME SHAFT FOR YEARS AND NOW HAVE IMPROVED PART THAT CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR OUT OF THEIR POCKETS. HOW CAN THEY KNOWLINGLY PLACE BAD PARTS IN VEHICLES AND NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING. I WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS THEY HAD A NEW FOR THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY 10K MILES. *TR

BATTERY BEGAN TO GO DEAD. I WOULD CALL ROAD SERVICE TO GET IT RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND *ONSTAR WAS NOTIFIED ON MOST OCCASIONS OF THIS HAPPENING.*ONSTAR WAS NOTIFIED DUE TO THE CONTRACT I HAVE WITH THEM FOR ROADSIDE HELP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ATLEAST SEVEN TIMES.(USING *ONSTAR FOR ASSISTANCE ON ATLEAST THREE OF THESE SEVEN TIMES) I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE CAR JUST UP AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE(I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT)AND THE THING ,OTHER THAN THE SAFETY FACTOR, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I TRAVEL AND I REALLY NEED A CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD A SECONDARY VEHICLE. MY FAMILY STATED NOR CAN YOU AFFORD TO DIE EITHER!THE CHANCE OF TAKEN THE LIFE OF ANOTHER PERSON,TO ME,FAR EXCEEDS THE FEAR I HAVE OF LOOSING MY ON LIFE. *TR

2007 TAHOE WENT UP IN FLAMES WHILE PARKED, STILL DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND SOLUTION COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY EVEN WHEN THE CONTROL IS TURNED OFF. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WITH ECCESS SOLUTION IS SPRAYING CONTINUOUSLY AND UNCONTROLLABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A POPPING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE DRAGGING AN OBJECT. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE VEHICLE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. HE ATTEMPTED TO TOW THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, BUT THE TIRES WOULD NOT ROTATE. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE MOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURES STILL PERSIST. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 15,287.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE MADE OUT OF A MATERIAL THAT ARE GLUED TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE. THE MATERIAL IS SHARP AND CAUSE CUTS TO THE HAND OR FINGERS. *TR

CAR BATTERY DIES IF NOT DRIVEN ON DAILY BASIS. DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIND SOURCE OF DRAIN 5 TIMES. RECALL HAS BEEN DONE ON KEYLESS ENTRY, BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DVD PLAYER HAS BEEN REPLACED. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *TR

I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CHEVY TAHOE TWICE. IT IS CLEAR THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH TAHOE TRANSMISSIONS OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR GM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM??? MAYBE THIS SITE CAN AT LEAST HELP GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THESE TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AFTER HE PARKED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE COULD HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL. IN ADDITION, THEY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. AS OF FEBRUARY 27, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A DEFECT INVESTIGATION OPEN FOR THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: ENGINE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE08010). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 13,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. ON JANUARY 12, 2007, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REINSTALLED THE CAM SHAFT CLIP INTO THE HARNESS, AND REPLACED THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. ON NOVEMBER 21, 2007, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. ON JANUARY 29, 2008, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START. IN ADDITION, THE AUTO START REMOTE WOULD NOT WORK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR AGAIN. SINCE THE LAST REPLACEMENT, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,948.

HAVE HAD MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE SEEN BY THE DEALER 5X FOR A REPEAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SINCE 9/15/07 (PURCHASE DATE). 1ST TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A LOOSE GAS CAP. 2ND TIME - EVAP LEAK, REPLACE EVAP VENT SELENOID, 3RD - REPEAT EVAP LEAK - LOOSE CONNECTION AT CANISTER, 4TH TIME - REPEAT EVAP LEAK, REPLACE WITH "CHEVY NEW DESIGN VENT VALVE", 5TH TIME - REPEAT EVAP LEAK - REPLACED GAS CAP. *TR

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED IN OWNER'S GARAGE, DAMAGED VEHICLE AND GARAGE. FIRE BURNED WITHIN LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TAHOE IN FEB. OF 2007. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS TO DATE. THE FIRST WAS THE A/C BLOWER WENT OUT. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WAS REVERSED ON THE TWO RIGHT SIDE TIRES. RIGHT FRONT WAS ACTUALLY THE RIGHT REAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE POOR MILEAGE I AM GETTING. 15.1 MPG OVERALL. 60% + OF MY DRIVING IS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY 2003 TAHOE GOT MUCH BETTER MILEAGE WITHOUT THE SO-CALLED "ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM". THEN AT 27,758 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION CRAPPED OUT WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. I LIKE THE APPEARANCE AND FEATURES OF THE TAHOE, BUT IN MY OPINION, THIS VEHICLE IS A DISASTER MECHANICALLY. I HAVE BOUGHT NOTHING BUT GM PRODUCTS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS BUT WILL NOW RECONSIDER. *TR

WHILE PARKED AT A RESTAURANT MY TAHOE WAS BROKE INTO. THE THEFT WAS DONE WITH A SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER UNDER THE KEY LOCK IN THE SEAL BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND THE DOOR. I COULDN'T EVEN TELL. THE POLICE SHOWED ME WHERE TO LOOK AND SAID IT WAS VERY COMMON. I TOOK IT TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND A BODY SHOP. ONE DEALER AND THE BODY SHOP SAID THAT THIS WAS VERY COMMON AND THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE ALARM DOESN'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE SCREWDRIVER IS SENSED AS A KEY. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE FILED A COMPLAINT BY ME AND CLOSED IT IN THE SAME PHONE CALL. THEY SAID TO TAKE IT UP WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT EASY TO BREAK INTO. IT IS GOING TO COST $700 TO REPLACE THE HANDLE AND PAINT THE DOOR AND I MUST REPLACE THE GPS UNIT THAT WAS STOLEN AND A CHECK TO MY BANK WAS ALSO TAKEN. *TR

I OWN A NEW 2007 CHEVY TAHOE THAT I PURCHASED ON 2/22/07 FOR $49K. ON DEC 31ST, 2007 I CAME HOME FROM WORK AT 3PM AND PARKED MY CAR IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE (CAR OBVIOUSLY TURNED OFF). AT 3:45PM MY WIFE STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE -- UPON ENTERING THE GARAGE I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS SMOKING (FIRE DEPT THINKS ITS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE - DEFINITELY SMELLED LIKE IT WAS). I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH THIS CAR AND KEPT UP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE ONLY USING THE GM DEALERSHIP FOR WORK. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FIRE DEPT -- WHEN THE POLICE AND FIRE MADE IT TO THE SCENE THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAMES. MY ONE YEAR OLD SON WAS SLEEPING IN HIS ROOM RIGHT ABOVE THE GARAGE. THERE ARE A LOT OF "WHAT IFS" THAT GO THROUGH YOUR HEAD IF WE HAD NOT SMELLED THE SMOKE AND THE CAR BLEW UP. NOT EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR RIGHT NEXT TO THE TAHOE WHICH WAS FULL OF GAS. GM HAS GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND AND DOES NOT FEEL THAT MY CAR DESERVES TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE VERY HAPPY LETTING MY INSURANCE PAY FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE AND LETTING ME SUFFER A $16K LOSS OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS INCIDENT. I AM CURRENTLY PURSUING LEGAL AVENUES AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT THE LEMON LAW THAT MASSACHUSETTS HAS ON THE BOOKS. *TR

DRIVER-SIDE DOOR HANDLES (INNER AND OUTER) SPONTANEOUSLY FAIL TO OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. A MECHANICAL DEFECT (NOT ELECTRICAL). UNIT MANIPULATED UNTIL IT STARTED TO WORK FIRST SERVICE VISIT. ENTIRE DOOR HANDLE AND LOCK UNIT REPLACED SECOND OCCURRENCE. ENTIRE LOCK UNIT FELL INSIDE DOOR AT THIRD OCCURRENCE, TRUCK TO BE DROPPED OFF AT SHOP TOMORROW FOR MAINTENANCE. DOOR CURRENTLY WILL NOT OPEN. DRIVER MUST CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE AND ENTER AND EXIT VEHICLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR EVERY TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME TRUCK WILL NEED SERVICE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. TRUCK IS A 2007 TAHOE. *TR

ON MY NEW CHEVY TAHOE, 2007, THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES (50+) OVER THE LAST 20,000 MILES. EACH OCCURRENCE WAS MINOR AND WHEN MENTIONED TO THE DEALER AT NORMAL SERVICE INTERVALS WAS TOLD WAS COMMON FOR A TRUCK (I.E. THEY ARE STIFF WHEN COLD, CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CORNER, ETC.) THIS FINALLY CULMINATED WITH COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE REPAIR OFFERED BY CHEVY IS TO JUST REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A LIKE PART THAT THE MECHANIC BELIEVES IS NOT DIFFERENT. HENCE WE SWAPPED A FAILED DEFECTIVE PART WITH THE SAME DESIGN THAT I MUST ASSUME WILL FAIL AGAIN! THIS IS NOT A FIX AND ONLY DELAYS THE INEVITABLE ONCE AGAIN. MAYBE NEXT TIME IT WILL BREAK WHEN PASSING OR OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE? THE GEAR IS CALLED A SPRAG GEAR AND ALL THE GM DEALERSHIPS ARE SILENTLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATED AND STATED THAT THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THEY ALSO ADVISED HER TO NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND TWO PEOPLE SUSTAINED INJURIES. SHE BELIEVES THE FUEL PUMP CAUSED THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE EXPLOSION WAS VERY LARGE. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 11,700.

MY 2007 TAHOE IS A PIECE OF ?!@#$%. SINCE I GOT THE TRUCK IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP. MY GAS GAGE FLOATS I CAN START OUT AT OF A TANK AND IT WILL GO UP TO OF A TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED MULTIPLE PARTS AND CAN NOT SEEM TO FIX IT. THE BLOWER IN THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND ANOTHER PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 30 DAYS. I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SO QUICK TO SELL ME THE TRUCK, NOT THAT QUICK TO HELP ME. I HAVE PICTURE AND VIDEO WITH TIME AND DATE OF TO GAS GAUGE FLOATING. MY GAS GAGE IS THE RECURRING PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED MULTIPR PARTS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY 2007 TAHOE LTZ WITH 18,500 MILES. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TAHOE WOULD NOT MOVE IN "D", BUT WOULD IN OTHER GEARS. IN "3" I HEADED TO MY DEALER (ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY). "3" WENT OUT WHEN I HAD TO SLOW FOR A LIGHT. I THEN DROVE IN "2" TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST PROBLEM LIKE THIS THEY HAD SEEN IN A 2007. AFTER INSPECTION, I WAS GIVE TECHNICAL NAMES OF THE TRANSMISSION PARTS THAT HAD TORN UP INSIDE. I RECEIVED THE TAHOE BACK IN 1 WEEK AND WAS PROVIDED A FREE RENTAL CAR BY CHEVROLET. I HAVE NOTHING BUT THE HIGHEST PRAISE FOR MY DEALER, BUT AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM IN A NEW VEHICLE. I AM SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A FULL COPY OF ALL WORK DONE FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE INSTRUMENT PANEL DEFECT. CUSTOMER STATES THAT SHE COULD NOT SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN THE DAYLIGHT. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE SMALLER GAUGES LET ALONE THE SPEEDOMETER. IT WAS SUGGESTED TO THE CONSUMER, TO TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH TO PERMANENTLY ON AND NOT USE THE AUTO FUNCTION. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MATERIAL COLORS BESIDE AND AROUND THE INSTRUMENTS WERE JUST TOO DARK FOR DAY LIGHT CONDITIONS. *JB

MY 2007 TAHOE HAS HAD A TRANSMISSION/SLIP/BUMPING PROBLEM AND IT WAS FIRST NOTICED BY ME ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT IT BACK IN APRIL. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE THE MORE THAT I DRIVE IT. IT HAS 5900 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP ONCE FOR THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF AND NOW IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF YEARS AGO IN THE OLDER VERSIONS. I'M NOT AT ALL HAPPY ABOUT THIS. *JB

HAVE AN 07 CHEVROLET TAHOE. TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT 23,000 MILES. MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM. FRIEND HAD SAME PROBLEM THIS SUMMER AT 24,000 MILES. MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE, I WAS DRIVING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED COMPLETELY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE MY TRUCK MADE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE AND A LOWER GEAR BUT NOT IN REGULAR DRIVE. I ONLY HAVE 21,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS GIVEN OUT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE BREAKING DOWN THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IS. *JB

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 25K MILES. DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND TURNING A CORNER WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SHARP SHUTTER OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AS THOUGH I HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT DID NOT ALLOW MY WHEELS TO TURN. TRANSMISSION COULD BE SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE BUT THERE WERE NO FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS. *TR

1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE OF MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ALERTED ONSTAR AS I WAS STRANDED ON THE ROAD. ONSTAR INDICATED THROUGH A PROBE CHECK THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF AND THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND I COULD KEEP DRIVING THE TRUCK. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I KEPT DRIVING. SOME TIME LATER ONSTAR WAS ALERTED FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS, I WAS TOLD THE SAME AS BEFORE BY ONSTAR. ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THIS TAHOE I WAS STRANDED AGAIN AROUND 10:30P.M. ALONG SIDE AN UNSAFE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 CHILDREN. ONSTAR WAS CALLED AND AGAIN STATED A TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF AND AFTER DRIVING THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OFF. I DROVE THIS TAHOE HOME HAVING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES TO ALLOW MY TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE TO COOL TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE THE TAHOE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. 5 MILES OR SO FROM MY HOME THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND I ALERT ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK TO MY NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AS I PULLED BACK ON THE ROAD THE TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING IMMEDIATELY AS I AM SITTING IN ON-COMMING TRAFFIC. I QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AS DRIVE WILL NOT WORK ANY LONGER TO GET MYSELF OUT OF HARMS WAY. CHEVROLET WAS CALLED AND TRANSPORTED MY TRUCK TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AS THIS WAS WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. MY TRUCK STAYED IN THE SHOP THREE DAYS AS THEY HAD TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. I

AFTER ONLY ONE MONTH OF PURCHASE AUTO START FEATURE DOES NOT WORK UNLESS YOU WERE 3 FEET AWAY. THE VEHICLE ONCE SAT OVER NIGHT WOULD MAKE A REALLY LOUD CLATTERING SOUND WHEN YOU WOULD TURN ON THE ENGINE. 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

TRANSMISSION SLIPS. MOVING FROM PARK OR REVERSE TO DRIVE - ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN HARD ACCELERATING. TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. NO COMPUTER CODES. RESPOND THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. *JB UPDATED 10/10/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, EACH DOOR ON THE VEHICLE MADE CRACKING NOISES WHEN DECELERATING OR DRIVING ON JAGGED ROADS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNRECOGNIZABLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC APPLIED LUBRICANT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE NOISES RETURNED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 320. THE CONSUMER STATED DID HAVE TIRE PROBLEM, TIRES WERE CRACKING AND COMING APART. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES. UPDATED 09/19/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE MOVING THROUGH A TOUCHLESS CAR WASH WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE REAR LIFTGATE OPENED. THE MACHINE SHATTERED THE GLASS. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SUFFERED HAND CUTS FROM THE GLASS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS A BUTTON ABOVE THE LICENSE PLATE THAT LIFTS THE REAR GATE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10,000.

WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE REASONS WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IS THAT IT HAS FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS. I USUALLY RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE SENSOR MOST OFTEN INDICATES OFF. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO ESTABLISH WHAT WAS WRONG, THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THAT MY WEIGHT WAS NOT QUITE ENOUGH TO GET IT TO WORK OR THAT IT WAS POSITIONAL( HOW I SAT). I AM A GROWN WOMAN WHO WEIGHS ABOUT 115 LBS AND AM 5'2".THIS IS NOT THIN BY NORMAL STANDARDS AND IT IS NOT CONSIDERED AN UNUSUAL SIZE. IF IN FACT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT MEANT TO WORK FOR SOMEONE OF MY SIZE THEY SHOULD ADVISE YOU OF THIS. I ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS A WRECK AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, WOULD I HAVE TO SUE GM? THEY ARE AVOIDING ME AND I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE CEO OF GM AS ADVISED BY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I HAVE WRITTEN TO BILL HEARD, THE OWNER OF TOM JUMPER CHEVROLET WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. NO ANSWERS FROM ANYONE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC REAR LIFTGATE OPENS WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE LIFTGATE OPENS JUST ENOUGH SO THAT ALL OF THE DOORS CONTINUOUSLY LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT WITHOUT CHANGING ANY PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT IS BEING FORCED TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SHE STATED THAT CHEVROLET IS NOT KEEPING THEIR WORD AND THE FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR HER AND HER CHILDREN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 11,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

RIGHT AT 2000 I NOTICED MY TIRES IN FRONT FEATHERING, CHEVROLET REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM, AND DEALERSHIP SAID TO ROTATE, NOW, THEY WANT ME TO PUT THE REAR TIRES ON FRONT, TO ONLY DO THE SAME THING, NOW I HAVE OVER 6,000 MILES, AND ALREADY NEED NEW TIRES ON FRONT AS THEY WERE HORRIBLE AND GETTING VERY CHOPPY. IT WAS SAD FOR CHEVROLET TO IGNORE THIS. *AK

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2007 CHEVY TAHOE, THE CAR WAS DRIVING NORMAL, I WAS HEADING TO THE ON RAMP OF THE FREEWAY, BUT TO GET INTO THE FREEWAY I HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT AND THEN THE ON RAMP IS IN FRONT OF ME. OF COURSE YOU ALSO HAD CARS COMING FROM THE RIGHT OF ME. WHEN I SAW A GAP WHERE I COULD GO, I FLOORED THE GAS, TO GO INTO THE FREEWAY, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. I HAD TO THINK QUICK BEING THAT THE CAR WAS AN AUTOMATIC, I SHIFTED TO A LOWER GEAR, THE CAR STARTED MOVING BUT IT WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE WAY. AND I CALLED ONSTAR, MY TRANSMISSION HAD GIVEN. ON A 6 MONTH OLD 2007 TAHOE. THEY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED A GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, TO NO AVAIL. FINALLY THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE WHAT WAS WRONG THE CAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOTHING. THE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME, THAT THIS WAS SO WEIRD THAT THE TECHS IN MICHIGAN WANTED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION SHIPPED TO THEM. THEY HAD THE SUV FOR A TOTAL OF 21 DAYS.
