Takata inflators: in july, 2016, chevrolet's global vehicle safety vice president notified me of the recall, saying i would be notified "when there are parts available."that was over a year ago.when i called my local dealer to inquire whether they had received the parts, they responded in the negative, and could not tell me when they might be available.i want the problem corrected now.
Dash board cracked, into pieces will cause shattering if airbags deploy causing additional injuries
Dashboard is cracked in three locations.1st and 2nd:over passenger side airbag from upper corners of the airbag to the air-vent panel3rd: approximately 8 inches along the top of the driver instrument panel to the air-vent panel.additional separation between panels is created during temperature changes or running the heater in cold weather. Have had two dealerships tell me it is a normal, known, and reoccurring problem with the body-style but offered to replace it for over $1,000.
Takata recall...nothing happened yet but my airbag needs to be removed, my 20 year old son is driving itwill call dealer again
The dealer has done nothing to replace the passenger side air bag partscalled them a month ago reff# 8-2304849524 this is a takata recall.
Dash around airbags is cracking and failing. It's a very common problem and gm refuses to rectify.conceivably a piece of dash could break off during an airbag deployment.
I am starting to get very concerned about this recall. Its been open for more than a year now and the safety of my driving experience i feel is being compromised due to my air bag safety light coming on constantly issue. The dealerships that i call is saying that the part or the remedy has not yet been completed therefore they cannot perform any actions on my vehicle.
Noticed cracks in dashboard.1. Above instrument cluster approx.6 " vertical to driver , 2nd is at the upper left corner of passenger air bag. Safety concern is flying projectile (s) of dash plasticto driver and or passengers if air bag(s) are deployed.
Takata recall 16v381 were do i get replaced
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v389100 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were not available. The dealer (depaula chevrolet, 785 central ave, albany, ny 12206, 518-278-6036) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified and confirmed that parts were not available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall:the gm website still says "incomplete.remedy not yet available"; however, i received my notice in july of 2016 via a notice from gm.the letter references campaign id number 16v381.
Takata recall .gm has no resolution for this but the opportunity to file a claim ends 2017.what happens if the airbag we have causes damage after 2017 since there is no fix for this recall as of yet?they should either extend the opportunity to file a damage claim or speed up the resolution of the recall.the potential for complications from these airbags still exists.
Takata recall.no remedy as of today. Received the recall july 2016
Dashboard cracks in all gm vehicles near the passenger airbag.not sure if it affects the airbag but will definitely send sharp plastic parts flying if airbag is needed.
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.
I reached out to the site and was told they believe it is safe from internal conversations i was not allowed to view. Then when i requested a fix as the recall information on the site says results could be fatal injuries i was informed gm believes it will be fine for years.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the air bag indicator continuously remains illuminated in the vehicle.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the air bags were not inflating properly.the retainer clip was replaced and the indicator was repaired.the indicator is currently illuminated again.the failure mileage was 34,665.updated 03/09/09. *ljthe air condition blew otu hot air, the dvd and onstar stopped working as well as the seats and windows no longer operate.

"takata recall" i called local chevrolet dealership and even though this recall is from 2016, they still do not have a fix for the problem.
Takata recall
I been having problem out of everything for a while my lights on
Takata recall ad more.2007 chevy tahoe lt3.first denied claim on cracked dashboard as warranty was up.then chevy recalls chrome interior door handles, but my tahoe is no in the recall.my kids have cut their hands on the peeling handles i took it to gm the said too bad your mileage is to great we wont honor recall furthermore your vehicles is not listed in recall.how is it not listed when all chrome interior handled vehicles where recalled?they told me to take a hike.now i have had a air bag recall for over a year, and a very cracked dash which gm will not fix.if the "recalled" air bags did as they have done and the state of my dash there will be significant injury to occupants.gm does not care, they have addressed the situation numerous times and nothing they are doing is correcting the issue.
Takata recall; my vehicle has an airbag that has been recalled. If the airbag deploys, the person sitting in the front passenger seat will most likely be injured or killed. Gm refuses to provide loaner vehicles to customers. Why? the dealership who sold me the vehicle, ed morse sawgrass chevrolet, 14401 w sunrise blvd. Sunrise, fl 33323, refuses to provide me with a loaner vehicle and refuses to provide me with their gm representatives' contact information. Why aren't dealerships' being forced to provide customers with loaner vehicles instead of sitting back, doing nothing and letting innocent people get hurt or killed by faulty car parts?

The contact called new rochelle chevrolet at 914-303-6017 (located at 291 main st, new rochelle, ny 10801) and was informed that the parts were not available.

I was traveling on a state highway to an event.this was the second day of the event, so i had traveled the same road the day prior.i slowed to cross railroad tracks.while crossing the tracks, the front and middle side airbags deployed on both the driver's and passenger's sides.the force of the deployment also cracked areas around the interior walls and blew out the rear overhead light.i am not sure exactly what, but something struck me on the top of my head at the time of the deployment.fortunately, i had slowed to cross the tracks or there could have been a different outcome.
Takata recall--in 2017 i received notification via mail from takata to get my airbag replaced as part of a recall. I have called dealerships no less than 5 times in the past 2 years as indicated to do so on the form to get replaced. When i call dealerships, they tell me the parts have not been sent by manufacturer yet for replacement. I called again today, august 7, 2019-- 2 years later-- and the parts are still not in. What is going on here? this is absurd.again, the notice is attached below for more information.
The air bag light came on and we took it to the dealership.the dealers tested it out and replaced the sensor and it still did not fix it.now they want us to pay a lot of money to run the test and have them figure out what is wrong.i am reading a lot of blogs and complaints about the same thing and i can't figure out why they haven't issued a recall especially since these airbags will not deploy.

"takata recall" i have called local dealership(tom light chevrolet) multiple times and have been told multiple times they are not replacing any recalled airbags. Called another dealership where vehicle purchased( norman frede chevrolet) and response was essentially that at this point chevy didn't feel like airbags posed problem per a person that answered my call in their service department. At this point it kind of sounds like i am getting run around by dealers.what help can you provide. On question when did this happen below i am stating date of date recall occurred.

The dash has cracked behind the passenger side air bag for no apparent reason. I am afraid if the bag deploys it will throw the piece as a projectile and hit the passenger. Many complaints on the internet, gm is selectively assisting in repair. I was informed they would not help me because i have an aftermarket radio and alarm, neither of which is anywhere near the passenger side.
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.
Letter from senator collins on behalf of constituent re 2003 subaru and 2007 tahoe takata defective airbag.the consumer requested to have to the air bags disabled or removed until the parts come in.
I bought this 2007 chevrolet tahoe brand new an this is the 2nd crack on my dash now it has a large crack next to the passenger airbag . I am afraid of this airbag being punctured in case of an accident . And a piece of the dash breaking offand stabbing the passenger . Gm needs to be held accountable for this faulty dash materials that were used! this is a safety concernthat needs to be repaired asap!these cracks happened when my wife was driving normally , this should not happen again.
My vehicle have several severe cracks in the dashboard from poor quality materials. This defect is causing concern 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.

Takata recall , dealer still does not have parts to fix the issue.
I have cracks in my dashboard at the instrument panel and at the passenger air bag. I believe that this is from lack of quality as the truck has been kept in a garage. I believe it's a safety issue and needs to be addressed and recalled by gm especially considering the amount of people having the same issue.
It has been over a year since i got the letter recalling my airbag and i have had no other information. I call the dealer and they tell me i have to wait for chevy to send me another letter saying i can get my truck repaired. My wife is pregnant and that is her only car available to drive. This issue needs to be fixed now.

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=3ikscklf7g8please 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/searchvehiclesalso 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.

Takata recall - gm still will not fix my defective airbags after many phone calls and trips to the dealer. This has been a problem for over a year now. A year!!this is a massive safety issue which affects my entire family.
Takata recall
"takata recall"the dealership does not have the parts to replace my airbags without charge to me.if i want to pay for the repair myself they will replace with takata parts.this is ridiculous to replace defective part with the same costly defective part.why are you sending out recall notices without the dealerships having replacement parts.
"takata recall" has been since may 2016 and still no resolution on replacement. Manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, would like a quick resolution before myself or family member is injured or killed by this defective product. Please act now!
Takata recalli live in florida, and have the oldest tahoe on the list of recalled vehicles.the dealership here in jacksonville has told me they will not be repairing the airbag anytime soon, and has not offered a loaner or any other solutions.
Takata recall:i received a letter in july 2016 about a recall that occurred in may 2016 for my passenger airbag.it has been over 2 years and there has been no change in the status of the remedy (remedy not available).this is an unreasonable delay.to tell me that my airbag should be replaced and then not given me a remedy in over 2 years.i have been unable and unwilling to put a passenger in that seat while the airbag is under recall.that makes me vehicle defective and i cannot in good faith, sell it to someone else while it is under recall.
I am needing to have my airbag corrected.... It is part of the takata recall.it has been open for a while and the website indicates there is not a correction.i have children and this needs to be fixed now!!!!!
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 updated 09/17/08.

Takata recall on a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. My husband was in a car wreck august 9th he was rear ended twice and the it bags did not deploy even though his seat belt was on. There was enough damage to total it out. Both cars that hit him had air bags deploy but my husbands did not. They looking d like there were going to deploy but never did. My husband was on the highway traveling at 55-60 miles per hour.the air bags should have went off!and i have additional photos as well please contact me
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.
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?
My car was purchased new in december 2006.in july 2016, i received a safety recall notification from gm regarding the takata airbag, recall 49151.i have been checking in quarterly with my local dealer, now cavender chevrolet, boerne, tx and receive the same answer that the replacement part is notavailable. Most recently, the dealer representative indicated that the vehicle may not ever be fixed.the car currently has 96,494 miles and i am still in fear for my wife and passengers that has to sit on that side of the vehicle. What are my liabilities if an injury or death occurs due to this problem?i can't even sell or tradethe vehicle due to this recall notice and have postponed many long trips due to this issue. The vehicle works well otherwise with no other issues. Some help is definitely needed to remedy this situation!! i can forward a copy of gm's recall notification if needed. Thanks you in advance.
Takata recall, i would like the recall on this safety issue resolved immediatly
I was traveling at about 50 mph on an asphalt road, and for no reason at all, my side curtain airbags suddenly deployed for no reason at all..the road had no potholes, and my vehicle had not veered from the road.i could not see the curb because once inflated, the airbags would not deflate and it was very difficult maneuver my vehicle out of traffic as i could not see from any of my side windows.i ended up hitting the curb at about 40 mph, and flattened both passenger tires and severely denting both rims as well.had a more unexperienced driver like my daughter been driving at the time, this malfunction could have easily cost us with her life.i was on a smooth road, traveling in a straight line, in very light traffic.there was no reason whatsoever for these airbags to deploy!i spoke with my local dealership and after giving my vin, they told me that there was a recall on the side curtain airbags, but that it wasn't technically a recall yet, because they have yet to find a solution to the problem.however, when i speak to corporate, they completely denied any knowledge of anyone ever having such a problem.yet when i look online at tahoe forums, the number one complaint that i see on every single site, is that the side curtain airbags deploy for no reason at all...

Takata recallrecall on vehicle since may 2016. Now receiving usps mail where my information has been passed over to a private company to which i am receiving information of a bankruptcy filing and my rights are being timed with a problematic issue concerning my vehicle (received time limit notice 10/21/17). Over a year now, i have been waiting to find out about a recall but it is still stated as "status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available" (nhtsa recall number: 16v381, manufacture recall number 2049151).now i received "important legal notice" where owners have been given a deadline of december 27, 2017. Yet, the status is still "incomplete". I am not wasting my time at a dealership to rip me off when i still have no status of recall to stay in control of the situation. Now, due to the allowance of bankruptcy filing, my patience of handling this situation is coming to an end and i do not want to wait until i am injured by a known faulty part in my vehicle. This needs to be remedy swiftly and the status needs to be updated so that owners have a way of dealing with the situation without a dealership trying to steal more money from owners who have been put in a possibly harmful situation.

Takata recall-----i received a letter almost 3 months ago that there was a recall out on the airbags in my tahoe.i took the tahoe to the chevy dealer where i purchased the vehicle and they told me that i have to wait for a 2nd letter having to do with the parts coming in???i have not gotten that 2nd letter?i have been back 2 times since and get the same response from the dealer service department..i have to wait for the 2nd letter about the parts being available to fix the vehicle. Am i going to have to wait until something catastrophic happens?
Takata recall , i was told that my recall was doment and that as of now no replacement, this isnot very good knowing i have a takata in my tahoe.
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe has developed multiple severe cracks of the plastic dashboard on both driver's side and passenger side.the passenger side crack connects to the airbag opening.i am concerned that if i get in an accident, and the airbags deploy, that it could launch plastic dashboard shards into the passenger area, injuring passengers, or worse, block the deployment of the airbag leading to serious injury or death.

He estado en varias ocasiones y estoy preocupado porque yo monto nios en el auto. Y necesitosaber cuando me pueden resolver el recall.
My dashboard first cracked where the passenger airbag connects to the dashboard and now is cracked in 3 other places: 2 above the control panel connected to the vent and one above the radio. It is very frustrating and has got to be a safety issue with the location of the airbag and the crack. I am not willing to put my family at risk to just wait and see or take someone's word that "it is not a safety issue". A new dashboard is very expensive. I have read that this is a recurring problem among may tahoes along with other models. These cracked dashboards are a lawsuit waiting to happen when they are not deployed appropriately during an accident. I have not seen when these 4 cracks occurred, but the cracks allow for the dashboard to shift and crack more when driving over bumps, etc.
Dashboard is cracked in multiple spots. Including above the passenger side air bag. This manufacture defect could cause flying plastic debris incase of an accident
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.

Takata recall
This vehicle was originally subject to nhtsa 16v383, over four years ago. The legal maneuvering by gm has prolonged this issue, further aging my airbag inflator. I am concerned that this daily driven vehicle is not safe for my family. I
Takata recall. I received notice of the recall in may of 2016. I have made numerous attempts to contact local chevy dealers and to date no recourse. I have had a "service air bag" light on for close to two years but the repair shop does not want to provide service on this because of the recall. I can, at times, drive upto 1000 miles a week, it would be nice if this could be taken care of.

Dash is completed cracked from side to side (driver to passenger) in multiple places. It continues to get worse and is now lifting the passenger side airbag up to the point where i am afraid to have a passenger ride in the front.
Takata recall , previous gm recall complaint #49152. It has been a year and a half since nhtsa and chevrolet was notified of my request to have passenger side airbag replaced. My chevrolet dealership (country chevrolet) denied my request to have airbag turned off until replacement parts were obtained. Every time my wife rides in the passenger seat she is putting her life at risk. Instead of the government taking these big fines against the companies, why don't they buy the air bags to replace the defective ones. Do you think that 18 months is an acceptable time table for fixing a national recall? it is no wonder the average citizen is so disgusted by the snail like pace that the federal government works. It seems as if our government agrees with these behemoth corporations that it is easier and less costly to just pay the family after they have lost a loved one than toproactively solve the problems.

I am filing a complaint in regards to the chevy tahoe 2007 ltz model i own.the vehicle has been claimed by thousands of owners to have a factory bad dashboard.the dashboard is made with a very cheap and unsafe plastic.this plastic cracks due to natural causes from heat and cold.the plastic also after some time will crack and deteriorate again due to unsafe and poor plastic material.the remedy is to purchase a new dashboard panel and pay for the professional labor to install.this product cost should be shard at a bare minimum by gm due to good faith practices.i would like to have my claim reviewed and passed on to gm for the purpose of correcting this unsafe factory plastic dashboard.the airbags can create and cause a highly unsafe deployment by exploding cheap and sharp shard of plastic into the eyes and face of the passenger/driver.gm is claiming to not have the legal requirement to repair or pay for this unsafe dashboard that should of been a recall.

Cracked dash over the instrument panel. Vehicle kept in immaculate condition but it appears that the heating /cooling cycle along with sub-par material and design may be creating a huge problem for a great many of tahoe owners. The initial crack was noticed during the summer months in northern illinois and over a period of two-three weeks it progressed from the seam between the two dash panels towards the drivers position. This vehicle has not been wreck, abused, or taken off road. Unknown exactly when or what caused the dash to start cracking but it seems to be an ongoing problem which can cause a safety issue along with a decreased value of these vehicles due to poor quality. Love the truck but the quality and customer support are very poor.

Dash board crack.the crack appears to have compromised the dashboard all the way to the passenger-side airbag and a much larger crack above the instrument panel.if something were to happen...i was in a wreck, and the airbag were to deploy...there's shards of dash going through the cab. I am the original owner on this 2007 tahoe.
I own a 07 chevy tahoe lt. I received notice in 2016 about the takata airbag recall.it is now 2020!i have been to my chevy dealer over and over to have this taken care of.response is "sorry, we can't do anything about it because no one knows who is going to pay for it."i am sick of this run around and tired of the excuses! you have no problem charging consumers for vehicles that most times cost the same as a small home! however, when it comes to human lives you are willing to gamble with time no matter what the cost, even if it means loss of life!we did not build the cars!figure it out!so put on your big boy pants and solve the problem you all created! i want the bag replaced sooner than later and i want answers!maybe what we need here is a class action lawsuit that involves both dealers and the takata air bag makers!

Takata recall.my defective airbag has not been fixed as of yet after several attempts to contact chevrolet they keep stating that they don't have the replacement parts
My dashboard has cracked, unexpectedly (having only 76,000 miles) on my tahoe ltz 2007. In my review and research of this issue i have seen a common trend with gm for these models.among this trend, and incidentally from my research, they are all cracking in the same spots as mine. Above the driver's side instrument panel and the upper left corner of the passenger front airbag.in lieu of these these dashboard cracks, and combined with the existing recall that has no solution for fix- surrounding the takata inflators among the airbags, this becomes a serious safety hazard should there be an accident. The time to make corrections and fixes, not at the owner's or passengers' expense, is before an accident occurs.i would appreciate any advise or insight surrounding this matter.i do have photos on my phone for future documentation should it be needed. Your assistance is greatly appreciated in this matter. Please note, this tahoe is well taken care of and has always been garaged. It's documented history and appearance attest to that fact.
My truck is selected for recall.. But letter says it's safe to drive.but the letter also explains what can happens if the air bags inflator may rupture during deployment causing serious or fatal injuries. Also the inflator can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions.. Well it's summer time and that can happen if i have an accident.. Need my truck taken asap..

Dash is cracked in multiple places around airbag. Electrical system bugs out when driving in rainrngine consumes 2 quarts of oil in between changes
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.
Airbags have been recalled, it's showing a warning in the screen to check airbag!when are they going to fix this issue?

The dash board has a crack right next to the air bag also above the gauges. My worry is if the air bag goes off the plastic from the dash will pop up and put a hole in the air bag. Which will then deflate and no serve its purpose. Or that part of the dash board will break off from the impact of the air bag and will hurt someone in the vehicle. Please contact. Me for photos it is saying they are too large to upload. Thank you

My impeccably maintained suv has multiple cracks in the dashthat i believe if the air bags deploy will cash serious bodily harm. I am continually finding pieces on the dash on my floorboard near the gas pedals on the drivers side and far forward on the passenger side. And recently with the cracks getting worse i have noticed the broken pieces are starting to flap around with the forced air coming through the vents.
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.

2007 chevrolet tahoe. Airbag deployment failure during an accident. *ta
I have had the dash crack in 4 different places; two on the driver side on each side of the steering column and two other around the airbag.the two around the airbag have made it so that there is free piece of plastic that is not secured by anything.i am afraid that if the air bag was to deploy then this piece would cause great bodily harm to anyone in the vehicle.the manufacturer knows of this issue and is not offering to replace the dash without some sort of compensation.
I read the article on the air bags and do not want any serious problems. What are my options for repair?
Takata recall - has pass more than a year after this recall and the status of the recall is still incomplete, remedy not yet available, do you know when this should be complete?
The dealership is telling me they do not show any recalls on my vehicle. I can see that it has not been done and would like it fixed winter is around the corner and i do not feel its safe to continue driving this vehicle
I'm very concerned because i had my passenger airbag inspected because the light is on. I was told that the airbag needed to be repaired and that there is a very high chance that it would not function properly upon impact. I have to pay out my pocket or ride around with a non operational airbag because it's taking years for a resolution to be found.
"takata recall" my 2007 chevrolet tahoe has air bags that are defective and could though scrap metal into the driver and cause death. But chevrolet will not replace my air bags. Chevrolet does not have a remedy for the defective air bags, the nhtsa gave gm until august of 2017 to provide a remedy, but it is now september of 2019 and i still have the original air bags. When can i have a vehicle that is safe to drive?
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 dashcracking 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 gmdealreship. The service department where the vehicle was inspected verified the cracks in the dash and they were very large.

Dash cracked in several places.this is a very common defect in gm silverados, tahoes, suburbans, yukons and avalanches. At this point the main concern is the fact that the high majority of cracks on all affected dashes are against/next to passanger air bag.if deployed dash fragments will become projectiles.as times goes on several other cracks have appeared and at this time gm has refused to address

Takata inflatorsi 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.
Takata recalli bought the vehicle from a private seller and was not told about the recall.i found out this past weekend when i was at a dealership to possibly trade in the vehicle.the recall on my chevrolet tahoe 2007 is incomplete and the remedy is not yet available.my complaint is specifically because there is no remedy at this time meanwhile i am driving around in a unsafe vehicle.i have to much invested in this truck to sell it for way under book value, which is what dealerships are offering.
The 1st crack is at the upper left corner of the passenger air bag. This appeared roughly 2 years into ownership.the 2nd crack is to the left of the instrument cluster, starting at the front closest to the windshield and moving back toward the hump of the cluster closest to the driver. A 3rd crack has appeared, branching off the second crack at the instrument cluster pointing towards the drivers window. Those cracks appeared about 3 years ago.this product is defective. The vehicle has been kept under shaded carport or in warehouse most of it's life.
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.
Takata recall
"takata recall" airbag light is on. My 07 chevy tahoe burns 1 quart of oil every 1000-1500 miles? dealer told me this is "normal"?????? it is not normal for any vehicle to burn this much oil in such little time!! chevy won't correct these problems! there are thousands of people with same troubles. Yet still no recall?????
Takata recall - my tahoe has been under recall for over a year now and my service airbag light is on in the dash.i have contacted dublin chevrolet for the repairs and they keep telling me that the parts are not available.i have afraid that if i do have an accident that the air bags may not work or may even go off with no accident occurring. I feel this could be life threatening and want this to be corrected immediately as i have no intention of selling my tahoe in the near future.i have grandchildren that ride with me ( all of whom are over age 12) and i fear for their safety as well.i am not happy at all with the way that chevrolet, general motors, or my local dealership is handling this situation.i have had the recall notice since july of 2016 and the air bag light has been on since before then.my dash has also cracked and broken in several places next to where the passenger air bag is located in the dash and i think this may be connected to the air bag situation.
My dash is cracking in two places above my airbags. The cracks are causing my dash to bulge. It has been brought to my attention that numerous 2007 tahoe's and yukon's all have dash cracks in the same areas. I have contacted gm about this problem and have not received any help. I am worried it will affect my airbags deploying.
Air bag recall from 2016. No parts to fix per dealer 4 times, display shows need airbag fixed. Whats up? dealer says may never have parts to fix. Are you waiting on someone to have a real problem like a wreck?

Takata recall - there is an active recall on this vehicle - the dealership refuses to implement the recall based on an internal memo from chevrolet which instructs the dealership to not comply with the terms of the recall mandate based onan assertion that gm is challenging the need for the recall based on statistical evidence gathered in the execution of prior recalls.the recall remains outstanding for over 2 years putting passengers in my vehicle at risk of serious injury. - therefore we are unable to utilize the vehicle in the manner for which it is designed, to carry passengers other than the driver in a safe manner.i am not going to put my personal wealth and the life of my passengers at risk.

There are 2 cracks in the dash.one crack is 2" long, near the passenger side airbag.the other crack is 7" long, driver side, "hump" above the instrument cluster.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 has the exact same problem with their tahoes and similar models. Please refer to this link for a visual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ikscklf7g8&list=fljga62lgteuqumon7fzvc0q&index=40please see facebook group below for more information and background as wellhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/251892298253/it would appear this is a manufacturing defect.the cracks are in the exact same location amongst 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.the cost to replace the dash is between $1,000-$1,500.
Takata recall 10/19/17 called chevrolet center and spoke to service manager, mike gardner, who said he could do nothing about this as he has no information from gm.

Air bag recalls, around my airbags the dashboard is cracked. My check engine light is always on because of the gas cap. So that makes my automatic start not work. Very disappointed. Would love to give my son a truck i worked so hard to pay for... But the airbags being recalled and dealership not having airbags to replace is very unfortunate for the safety of myself, my children, and my family. I wish gm would make it right!

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 canbe 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.

I see that there is an outstanding recall for my vehicle, i have 3 small children and cannot risk driving them in a vehicle that has issues with the airbags. What can be done as i am paying and driving this vehicle that is potentially deadly if the airbags deploy in an accident. The recall # is 16v381. I keep seeing that there is no remedy available. This is a serious danger to my family.

Dashboard cracks with sharp edges around airbag causing noisy airbag area vibration and separation form dashboard, it is scary thing to have when my wife or one of the kids in the vehicle with me.
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.
Airbag recall was issued in 2016. The dealers say they don't have the parts yet. What should i do to get this resolved?
No accident or anything like it has happened.thank god.this recall has been in effect since 2016 but we were told it was not a priority to replace, so nothing has been done about replacing them.does an accident need to happen to make the replacement?
The dashboard of the vehicle cracks in multiple locations to include around the airbag. Should he airbag deploy it will be punctured by sharp pieces from the dashboard. This makes the vehicle unsafe and ithe airbags ineffective should the deploy.

Takata recall my vehicle was identified in the airbag recall 18 months ago and still no action is available.also, i lived in houston, tx for 15 months where the hot humid climates created a higher risk of malfunction. Chevrolet corporate offices and several chevrolet dealers have told me there is still no parts available to make the repairs, 18 months later.i have not been able to fully utilize my vehicle (i.e. I drive it as little as possible) out of fear for the safety of myself and my passengers.
2007 chevy tahoe, dash has cracked in two places.one crack is in the left corner at the airbag (complete crack top to bottom).the second is at the left side over the steering wheel (within 1 inch being completely cracked from top to bottom).this is a defect in the materials not any incident that caused this to crack. There are hundreds of complaints and all dash cracks are basically in the same area.very much asafety hazard especially if a crash occurred.possibly could cause shattering of the dash pieces and cause injuries or possibly interfere with airbag deployment.
Cracked dash and passenger airbag does not work. I have two (2) estimates to repair these problems. The estimates 1137.00 to 1439.00 to repair.

About couple months ago we notice about an 8 inch long crack on the dashboard above the cluster driver side. And i first thought it had to be sun damage. So pretty bum about it. Then recently about a week ago watching the local news on tv. There was a similar issue about crack dashboards. And then checking on this website there's multiple very identical issues. So now in hope there's a recall coming soon. And also notice the inside door handles the chrome is coming apart leaving really sharp edges. So i notice there's similar complaints in regards to this door handles.

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.
Takata recallthe airbag sensor is on which means they could deploy while driving crack in dashboard.
Takata recall gm not replacing passenger air bag that has been recalled as of may 2016. They have no solution or steps to ensure the safety of my vehicle.
The plastic dashbord has cracks on the edge of the airbag unit and over the top of the speedometer unit. There is also major cracks on 30 to 40 percent of the flat portion of the dash.these cracks are sharp and severe. The cracking started and has eventually gotten worse over time to the point of a safety concern. If the airbag is deployed there is great risk that the dash board may come apart and kill or injure the passenger and others in the vehicle. I have read hundreds of complaints on the internet in regards to this safety issue. Please investigate to find out if a repair or recall is needed. As an engineer i believe gm should make the repair.
Our 2007 chevy tahoe was parked/stationary, engine on, car in park with emergency brake on, and parked on a dirt driveway.i got into the driver side and shut the driver side door when the side curtain airbags in the front row, second row, and third row on both the driver and passenger side deployed.the seat belts for the driver and front seat passenger locked up and are unable to unlock and are not usable.
Takata recalli received the recall notice last year and when nothing happened, i called the local dealer who said gm is not going to replace anythingand that it was safe.gm's rep repeated the same thing. I live along the chincoteaque bay and the warm salt air concerns me with those faulty takata airbags in my truck. My complaint filed with safer car is # 10948531, but have heard nothing. Just received a card indicating that takata is sending that unit into chapter 11, which also concerns me.

I have two cracks in my dashboard.one is huge over the drivers side control cluster and the second, i believe, poses a big safety concern.the second crack is at the corner of the passenger airbag.i'm concerned that the airbag will not deploy with this defect and if it does the sharp edges/shards of the dash will either injure the passenger and/or others in the car, or rip the airbag making it useless. Airbags are a legal requirement.i have been on many forums and pages regarding the chevy tahoe and there are hundreds of people with this very same problem.i really believe gm/chevy should order a recall.i also have a minor claim about the rubber on the steering wheel and the paint on the stereo/climate control buttons.all of which is peeling off.i have also see hundreds of writings about this problem. We have already had to replace the steering wheel and stereo/climate control. And the problem persisted on the new items.i paid way to much for the vehicle to be doing this.i also have no intentions of getting a new car; however, as they problem persist, especially the safety issues.i just may be forced to .

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.
My airbag light came on out of the blue, says service air bag
Cracked dashboard, front passanger airbag and also by driver side

Passtakataair bag recall with no part availability and multiple cracks in my dash
Manufacturer recall number 2049152nhtsa recall number 16v383recall status recall : recall incomplete, remedy not yet available.tried call gm repeatedly with no response, just a circle of holding and misconnections.does the manufacturer have any idea when the part will be available?it has been since 2016 and the remedy is still not yet available!
Takata recall: manufacturer says "remedy not yet available."what are we supposed to do until it is?should a lexus dealer provide us with another vehicle until the air bag(s) are replaced?
My wife was driving down the street at 5:30 am to go to a charity event 5k run.she was going 40mph, on a street that had no traffic on it that early in the morning, when out of the blue, all the side curtain airbags deployed.i contacted gm central office, they did an investigation, then told me that they were not at fault, that the computer on the tahoe said it was about to be in an accident so the airbags deployed.i told him the computer was evidently wrong since my wife was not about to be in an accident.he said that the tahoe functioned normally as it should.i asked him again if it was normal for airbags just to deploy on their own with no evidence of an accident and if the computer "said" so, then evidently the computer is wrong and faulty and something needs to be done before someone gets killed..he said gm will not admit any fault and they will not pay for it. I am seeking legal counsel for a class action lawsuit. If this had happened in the middle of the day on a crowded interstate, i have no doubt that there would have been a horrific wreck and people seriously injured if not killed.gm needs to own up and take responsibility and do a recall.

I notice a crack on my dash board in the seam of the air bag front left side- and then inspected the dash board to find another crack over the steering hump of the dash board heading down toward the vent of the dash board. As i researched this issue i have found several owners with the same issue some under warranty and others not. The issue is the dash board is cheaply made and may cause severe damage if in an accident and since it is located near the air bag it could cause injury.
There cracks on my dash...after looking around the internet , this a big problem..i called gm, and the rep told me that they where not going to fix it at this time so i asked when will a good time be. They refused to fix it and my vehicle is still under warranty.if this air bag deploys it is going to cause some serious damage or death to someone, this needs to be a mandatory recall.
Serious and extensive cracking of the dashboard above the instrument cluster and at the passenger side air bag.the crack would cause dangerous caving of the entire dashboard area in the event of a crash and could interupt the efficient deployment of the airbag system.

Takata recall i have been trying to get air bags replace by chevy dealership since july of 2016 can you help everytime i ask the dealership do they have air bags in they me know i need helpgetting the bags replaced
Car has not been in an accident.just concerns like so many other gm customers.there is a crack that is at the airbag, on the passenger side, that keeps getting bigger.concerned that airbag might deploy, or not work at all.have contacted gm corporate several times telling them about the same issue that other customers are having in this same area. When contacting gm they tell me that they have not heard of this issue, but there are so many customers that have complain online. I was told to take my vehicle to the dealership for further inspection and was told that this could have happen by using armorall, in that case the whole console would be cracked and not in certain places where all other customers are seeing the same exact cracks. Actually the entire console is affected with several cracks.if gm was not aware, how come some of their customers consoles have been changed out by the dealership? more than once.they tell me because of the model and the mileage of my vehicle it would not qualify.this is a material issue plus a safety issue if it affects the stability of an airbag. There are even videos on u tube that shows a visual picture.
Takata recall - after 3 years the recall status is still "incomplete. Remedy not yet available"
I've been trying to get my airbag replaced sine i recieved my letter in may 2016. I contacted several dealers and they claim they don't have the parts in and don't show a recall for this matter. I contacted them again today november 1st.of 2017. I'm still driving the vehicle but afraid it may go off for no reason and result to a major accident. I recieved a letter from tk holdings inc. On 10/18/2017 and still getting nowhere

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.
Takata recallthis is taking an excessively long time to resolve. "incomplete" recall status and "remedy not yet available" is not acceptable after greater than 3 years from the initial notice of this potential danger.
Takata recallthis re-call has been in effect since 2016 and nothing has been resolved, i drive this vehicle with my children in it sometimes the light turns on and sometimes it doesn't, this is really concerning. If something happens these people will be sued for not fixing this serious issue.

Takata inflators: the recall has a date on it almost two years old and there is still no resolution to this issue. What happens if there is an accident and my air bag malfunctions while my family is in the car. This is not acceptable. There needs to be more accountability. This could cause a fatality that could be prevented if the company spent less time worrying about saving a dollar. If there is no resolution to this issue soon then i want chevy to buy my truck back.

Takata inflatori received a recall notice for my 2007 chevy tahoe's airbags last july. I had not heard a peep so i called the local dealers again and was told the same thing, there was no fix coming yet. I called gm and their pr person told me that they had tested 43000 airbags( not real on the road) and found no issues so they were going to request that the recall be recalled! i clearly stated that i live in a hot, humid area by the ocean and was concerned that the propellant in those takata air bags may be corruptedlike those in other cars like my wife's honda which was recently replaced. She said they would do nothing, to which i replied that i would not like to be one of the people that had to have shrapnel in me to provide more evidence of the need for replacements.

Takata recalli received a recall notice in the mail, urging me to contact a dealership to get my vehicle repaired.i contacted the dealer only to be told that repair parts have not been issued and they do not know when repair parts will become available.i now face the possibility of driving my car 900 miles home for christmas with faulty airbags or paying several thousand dollars to fly home and rent a car.while going broke is not fun, especially around the holidays, neither is dying because your airbag decides your time on earth is up.
Takata recall - the service airbag warning is on my vehicle. I received a card in the mail stating the there is a recall and i should contact the nearest dealer immediately to have repaired for free. The dealer said they didn't have the parts and to call customer service 800 number. I was told by them that there is no replacement parts at this time, no rentals available and chevrolet says it is safe to drive even though the service airbag is lit up and a recall has been sent. After reading the warning about the airbags i am uncomfortable driving my car and no one seems to care or have an acceptable solution.

My airbag alert light will not go out via the dashboard. It's my understanding there is nhtsa recall (16v383) due to the propellant in some types of the takata airbag inflators which can degrade over time. This can cause the inflators to rupture during deployment causing serious or fatal injuries.
We got a letter from tk holding inc. Saying out airbag inflators are defective and they are filling got chapter 11 bankruptcy and i had a recallmay 16 2016 the nhtsa # :16v383 and the manufacture #:2049152 i went to the dealership to get it straighten out but i never heard back from them.

My complaint is the the nhtsa is not doing enough to force a remidy on the my vehicle's takata airbag problem.thru many years of investigation and litigation with gm, it now more than evident that gm knows their airbags will fail.it isn't about if but when and it is the responsibility of the the nhtsa to protect the public and consumer. If you want the public to think you are serving in their best interest, than resolve this whole takata airbag problem.
Well there's a couple of recalls on the vehicle and i never received anything telling me when can i go get it fixed
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.
The dash has major cracking around the airbag and on top of the dash in the area of the steering wheel. The first incident occurred in april 2010, had the dash replaced under warranty approximately sept/oct 2010. The second incident occurred in august 2012. Same cracks in dash around airbag. I can't help but wonder if these cracks compromise the airbag in any way. Or if the vehicle is involved in a collision will the dash pieces become airborne projectiles. Have spoken with gm and while they acknowledge that they have had issues with the dash cracking, they do not acknowledge a defect in the dash. A simple internet search provides several instances of these same cracks occurring in many 2007 chevrolet tahoes, avalanches, and 2007 gmc yukons. Yes, i could pay to have a new dash installed but it will be the same defective part that will crack again causing the same safety concerns.
Takata recallreplacement for this vehicle-
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 16v383000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to abernethy chevrolet (1445 e main st, lincolnton, nc 28092, (704) 735-0401) where it was diagnosed that the calibration needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 8-4694371117. The contact was referred to the local dealer. The failure mileage was 22,000.
Vehicle has significant and extensive cracking of the front dashboard, especially over the instrument console, due to an engineering design flaw in the 2007-2013 models. In the event of an accident, the dashboard will crack and splinter, causing potentially dangerous plastic shards to be directed at the occupants of the vehicle at time of impact, or possibly rupturing deployed airbags, rendering them useless.
My service airbag light is on
It's actually the very common dashboard cracks, which inevitably will effect my airbag in the event on an accident. After an accident happens, it'll be too late. I purchased a used 2007 tahoe with an extended warranty in 2010. I've had the very cracked dash replaced 4 times by chevy while under warranty - with them fighting it. If possible, i think the veryquality of the plastic decreased since problems arose originally. My dash is now cracked worse than all others previously installed by chevy, allowing me to see the thickness quite clearly, and it appears much much much thinner than the original dash. No matter what, this is wrong and extremely dangerous. Not only can this effect my airbags, but the sharp edges and nature of the plastic allows for it to become deadly projectiles.a $40,000+ vehicle should not have these issue. Nor should a $5 vehicle for that matter. Chevy is jeopardizing the lives of numerous customers all in the hopes of saving money - not lives!! please send chevy an unmissable message and force a recall. This will only worsen and increase with time. Due to the extremely popular problem, there is no way chevy will be able to deny knowledge after someone is killed. A life will be lost due to this. It's just a matter of when and how many. It's impossible for me to give exact dates as to when each dash was replaced over the last 6 years, but i'm on my 5th dash and i'm not the original owner. My current and 5th dash has 3 cracks that get caught in the wind and lift when the windows or sunroof are open. Pretty crazy. Pretty dangerous. And chevy has known all these years!! shameful. And you allow it.
"takata recall"i have been in contact with all general motors dealers in the river parishes area.all told me that chevrolet general motors have instructed all dealers not to repair any air bags because of this problem because it was not proven that these air bags are defective as told.i have very serious osteoporosis to the point if these air bags go off because of this defect, i will be crippledfor life.my bones will not break - they will crush.this is a very critical situation and of utmost importance to get this fixed.all other vehicle manufacturers have changed their air bags - only chevrolet is refusing!is there anything that can be done so that i can ride in peace and not be put in a dangerous situation such as this.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recalli have contacted dealership multiple times and they do not have parts available. I am driving a vehicle with a faulty air bag and i do not want anything to happen to my passengers. I either need to sell my vehicle and take a loss because of a faulty air bag recall or i need this fixed. Its been well over a year with no parts available to fix this dangerous issue.
Takata recall:i received notice of this airbag recall in may 2016.my local dealership has been unable to repair my vehicle.the defective airbags have the potential to cause serious injury or death and now the airbag manufacturer has filed for bankruptcy.i fear that i will be stuck with defective airbags with no remedy from any manufacturer.that leaves me facing the option of continuing to drive a potentially deadly vehicle or buying a new vehicle which will cause me significant financial harm.
Takata airbags recall remedy not available. There has been a recall for more there 2 years, but chevrolet says there is no remedy. This is unacceptable.
Passenger side airbag explosively inflated while driving approximately 30 miles per hour on an inner city street. No jarring or collision occurred directly prior to this incident. This appears unprovoked and poses a major safety risk to consumer. We have young children who could have been seriously injured in this incident. Thankfully they were not in the vehicle at the time and it was the passenger side which exploded and not the driver side. Any of theses scenarios would have (and did) easily endanger the driver and other individuals on or near the road when incident occurred. I immediately turned into a chevrolet dealership and am currently awaiting word on what exactly caused the airbag inflation.
Takata recall:received letter from gm in july 2016 on front passenger airbag defective. As of today(11-14-16) still has not been repaired. Contacted gm dealer in albemarle, nc with no answers. Filed a complaint with gm in august 2016 due to this problem. Gm has not responded. This is a major problem because my wife or i could be injured or become fatality. We need this fixed immediately. There must be remedy and takata and gm are accountable. I guess more people must die on the highway before things change.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Upon inspection of the dashboard it has cracked both above the steering wheel on the left side and at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side.i am concerned that if this cracks any worse the airbag may deploy and injure a passenger or it may cause the steering column to malfunction if the dashboard falls.chevy should be recalling this so that no one is injured.

Takada airbags recall notice received in mail in july 2016. I was rear ended on april 3, 2017 no fault of my own. The airbag did not deploy thank goodness. I parked it and haven't driven it since. My complaint is that it's been 1 1/2 yrs since the recall and still no fix for replacement of airbag. I feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive and i should be compensated for the inconvenience of not having a safe vehicle to drive.

Takata recall / gm recall 49152. My wife & i received the aforementioned recall from gm. In the body of the recall letter it states that takata had decided our passenger side airbag is defective. Gm states they will issue a recall unless the can prove the airbags are not defective. So, i called gm to see what is the time frame to complete this investigation. Gm could not provide me with any information on how long it would be for gm to finish it's investigation. In fact gm didn't even indicate they have started yet. This is unacceptable to me as a consumer. Now i'm left with a car i purchased new from gm and am not able to use the vehicle for it's intended purpose. One has to assume that gm did their due diligence when purchasing the airbags and now that a recall has been issued by the manufacturer that decision is not good enough for gm. It's obvious to me the longer it takes for gm to prove the recall is not warranted the fewer recalled vehicles will be on the road which i have no doubt will be a benefit to gm but certainly not to the consumer. The simple question "how long will gm's investigation to prove to nhtsa's safitsfaction the recall is not needed take?". This leaves the consumer in a situation with no idea of when a resolution to the problem will come.
I dont understand why gm will not fix the issue with cracks in the dash!it is u safe as one is located right at the passenger side airbag.what it i have an accident and this breaks and parts fly and hu6a passenger. This is not safe.

My vehicle has had an airbag recall for 2 years. Chevrolet refuses to acknowledge their is an issue. They keep saying the airbag is safe. Yet my vehicle remains on a list for recall. At what point are they going to be required to honor the recall? other car makers have acknowledged an issue and fixed the recall. When you ask the chevrolet spokesperson if they would put a loved one in the seat with the airbag recall they simply state the vehicle is safe to drive. They refuse to answer the question. How can a national recall be issued but a company such as gm not be held accountable to fix the issue and let this linger for years.
"takata recall" tired of waiting on gm to handle this recall. I get the idea gm is not planning on addressing this recall. I would like to voice my complaint.

Cracking in dashboard cause potential safety hazard upon deployment
The dash in my vehicle has cracked and could be a safety issue should the airbag deploy.
Takata recall- the service airbag indicator light has been on in my 2007 chevrolet tahoe since 2015. Since then i have tried numerous times to contact my local chevrolet dealer (momentum chevrolet in san jose ca) to resolve the safety issue. Not only did they failed to come up with a resolution to the safety of my family vehicle they took my personal information to call me back and try to sell me a new car, disregarding my initial complaint about the safety of my chevy tahoe.

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 filtersall this in less than 1 year and it's one thing after another. Very disappointed.
It is unacceptable that my 2007 tahoe still has the original defective takata airbags. There is nothing i can do to protect my family in the event of an accident besides purchase another vehicle and sell this one. They should have the remedy available by now! it's almost 2021!

Want to know how long this will take to get fixed. Has been at least a year and half since i received recall.
Dash cracked where the passenger air bag is located. I fear that the air bags will puncture if deployed or the passenger will be injured due to dash pieces being projected at them.

"takata recall"i was notified in july 2016 by gm that my vehicle is on a recall list for defective takata air bags.

Takata airbags. I called wilmes chevy and was told that there were no parts available to replace the airbag or takata inflator. Also called wilmes superstore over a year ago and was told the same thing. What do i do next?
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.
I think after 2016 when tekata declared the air bag to be unsafe they have had more than ample time to manufacture new ones.general motors needs to buy back the vehicles affected and all cost of maintenance of themand the and the purchase price of vehicle if they cant comply to the recall. After all the taxpayers money saved them from going under and now the goverment is allowing them to not conform to a safety recall that kills people.
Multiple dashboard cracks around passenger airbag and now on drivers side.i am the original owner and the tahoe has always been in the garage when parked at home.

I have checked websites for recall notification updates and no information on my vehicle. This has been almost 3 years since the court case decision.

There are two cracks in my dashboard around the airbag areas.this should never happen!wondering if it will affect my airbags from working properly.
The dashboard of the vehicle cracks in multiple locations to include around the airbag. Should he airbag deploy it will be punctured by sharp pieces from the dashboard. This makes the vehicle unsafe and ithe airbags ineffective should the deploy. The manufacturer shoud issue a recall.

Takata recall: upon receiving initial notice of the recall in 2016, two chevrolet dealerships in and near birmgingham, hendricks and edwards both stated they were unable to honor the recall because it was pending. Upon recent receipt of the tk holdings chapter 11 notice, both dealerships are still stating they are unable to honor the recall. Even though the letter and recall notice state to immediately remedy a potentially unsafe issue through a free replacement at a manufacturer's dealerships, all such dealerships are stating there is nothing they can do and are unwilling to schedule a replacement. Again, the dealerships in questions specifically are edwards chevy in birmingham, and hendrick's chevrolet in hoover.
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.
Tamara recall has not been completed on this vehicle.
At 56000 i began to notice sally cracks to the passenger side dash on the corner of the housing for the passenger airbag. I took it to the dealership but this was not a covered item in my warranty. Shortly after, the cracks have extended and are approximately 2-3 inches in length . Also a crack above the instrument cluster began and has traveled to the front of the dash. The concern and immediate danger is that if the air bags were to deploy, the excerpted force would either send shrapnel from the dashboard in to the personnel in the vehicle causing a greater risk of serious traumatic injury or possibly death.additionally it is possible that the sharp edges created by the cracks could potentially pierce the airbag preventing it from fully deploying as intended and thus rendering it in affective and not adhering to safety standards, again resulting in possible loss of life or sever traumatic injury.

Takata recall. My complaint is that i received a notice from my dealer/via onstar notifying me that i could now schedule replacement of the inflators. I made an appointment, but when i brought the vehicle in (which was the main reason i scheduled maintenance online) they said it wasn't ready for the fix and that the recall number was "not correct, not in their system". I verified thru nhtsa recall info that the recall number was in fact correct. I feel duped into bringing my car in and of course they then told me all sorts of items that should be looked at (over and above the factory maintenance schedule, e.g., due to time vs. Mileage). So i feel that i and anyone else receiving these emails are getting taken advantage of.i replied to their email that i had scheduled the repair and no one cont

I finally just received a safety recall letter from gm that the parts are now available to replace the passenger side airbag inflator in my vehicle. During the 14 years that gm has taken to respond to the safety problem my dashboard which is made from plastic has several cracks in it. I spoke with the local dealer and they informed me that they will replace the airbag inflator at no charge but will not be responsible for the dashboard which will break up and come out in pieces once removed due to deterioration and cracks. The cost for the dashboard parts is expected to exceed $1,100.00. I then contacted the chevrolet customer assistance center at 800-630-2438 and spoke to jecc which informed me that no, gm will not replace any other parts other than the airbag inflator. I don't understand how gm could be so complacent in delaying for 14 years the installation of this critical safety part which has put my passengers at risk of being impaled be metal shrapnel if in an accident. I also don't understand why after delaying the installation of this part for so long that they are not willing to replace all the necessary parts to make things right. I will be delaying the recall procedure due to the high cost of the repair and in the meantime trying not to carry any passengers. My father got a recall on his 2013 ford edge a few years ago for the same issue and they replaced the entire dashboard with no questions asked and the dashboard was not even cracked. It was not even an issue. I would thank you if you could pass this on to any higher authorities at gm.it is not right that they do not stand behind their product or their customers safety.

The dash has two cracks around the airbag housing and three other cracks (2 over 5" long). Concern is mainly at airbag location as i am not sure if this affects the stability of the airbag, if the airbag will perform properly in a collision, or if the plastic pieces will become projectiles in the event of airbag deployment.

Wehave 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?
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving approximately 55 mph the side air bags of both the front and rear of the vehicle deployed. The contact stated that he was not involved in any crash nor did he hit any debris.

The manufacturer was contacted and stated that an inspector would inspect the vehicle but did not say when. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
All side roof rail bags have been activated without any reason and accident .
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe. One morning while driving, i applied my brakes and changed lanes to avoid getting hit. My side curtain air bags deployed without any explaination. I called gm to report the incident, they sent an investigator who came out the very next day to inspect my vehicle. He took pictures of my vehicle and downloaded the sensor information. The gm manager told me that the air bags deployed as they should have in an event of a rollover. It was evident that the rollover never happened as there was no other damage to my vehicle. Gm denied any fault and denied my claim to get the air bags and my seat belts fixed. I contacted my insurance company, who also inspected my vehicle and replied that the car had a mechanical malfunction and that gm should be liable for my damages. Gm has closed my claim and will not talk to me any more. Gm has done nothing to correct this failure in my opinion. My vehicle is still under gm extended vehicle warranty and they are not willing to fix it under that claim either.
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.
While driving on i-75 in florida coming from kentucky (relocating my mother in law), i and a friend who was taking a turn driving smelled an odor similar to sulfur or natural gas. Within 10-15 minutes, smoke started coming out of the front driver engine compartment. Driver immediately pulled to the emergency lane as a fireball exploded from the same area as the smoke. We both dove out of the vehicle on the passenger side. The entire vehicle with nearly all the contents burned, all the way down to the tires.
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 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.
Taillight/headlight malfunction

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 filtersall this in less than 1 year and it's one thing after another. Very disappointed.
Smell of burning plastic in passenger compartment. Windows, mirrors and door lock controls stopped working on driver door control panel. Removed driver side door panel and discovered one of the plugs to the door controls was melted and discolored. Unplugged. No fuses were tripped.
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 stabilitrackdid the same thing. After waiting 10 minutes or so i was able to start thevehicle 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.
Peeling interior paint - two of the four doorhandles paint is peeling causing sharp and jagged edges resulting in cut fingers.brakes - all brakes and rotors bad at 39,000 miles and had to be replaced.way too early!now the brakes squeal all the time, are soft and had to be flushed 2 times within 6 months of each other.windows - continuing issues with the windows screeching when going up and down.attempted to fix three times and just keeps repeating.is starting to scuff/scratch the glass and leave oil streaks. Was told this is normal.rear liftgate (manual) - struts freeze every winter so that the tailgate does not go up all the way.have hit head on this numerous times.been replaced 3 times and counting.
I have a 2007 tahoe and the dashboard is cracked in two places. One is above the stearing wheel and the other is above the glove box on the passenger side. Ive always used a windshield protector when parked outside and the truck is parked in my garage every night. This seems to be a serious problem with this make and model vehicle and chevrolet needs to correct it!
We purchased a 2007 chevy z71 tahoe on june 3 2007.a month after we got it the battery was dead.we charged it thinking that since we didn't drive it very much ( a vacation vehicle only) that the battery wasn't charged. About 6month later it was dead again.it was looked atthe garage we purchased it from and they couldn't find anything.indecember 2008after the 4th time of a dead battery and trying to get a ride to work we had a new battery put in it. On june 9 2009 it was dead after 6 month on a new battery.i was going to leave it at the pittsburgh airport while we went on a trip but i can't cause i don't know if it will start when we get home and it 125 mile from where we live.i want something done the lemon l comes to mind. I have read so many forum on this with no idea how to fix it even the garage has no idea what is drawing the battery .i want some answer.

Well there's a couple of recalls on the vehicle and i never received anything telling me when can i go get it fixed
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. Without warning, the driver side electric control panel began smoking and caught fire. Smoke entered the vehicle and then dissipated. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 10v240000 (electrical system) and 08v441000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
After 5 minutes of having started the car and driving the rpm gauge raised to 4rpms and would not drop below 3rpms, even after having stopped the car and turning off the engine. Called chevy customer service and the rep hung up on me.
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 thewarning lights in thedash ( 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 andwasher 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/manufacturingdefect, 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.
I was driving along and the speed control just stopped working.ireset 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.
Oil consumption of at least a quart between oil changes, misfiring at idle causing check engine light, stability track control service light. Chevrolet tells me there is not even 1 service bulletin or recall notice on my tahoe.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the electrical system failed, which caused the vehicle to stall. The contact also stated that while parked, the vehicle rolled away and crashed into another vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was confirmed that the battery cables failed and needed to be replaced. The contact requisitioned a third party to repair the vehicle but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign i.d. Number 10v240000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 60,000.
Driver's seat belt does not lock into the receptive device. 2nd row seat belt "tore" when pulled to fasten. Electrical issue causing speaker and microphone to become inaudible therefore preventing communication with onstar in the event of a crash, nor alerting driver of vehicle standard safety alerts (low gas, open door indicator, tire pressure indicator, etc.).
The odometer on these vehicles last just long enough to get out of the factory warranty and then they go out. Mine went out with approximately 110k miles. With this portion of the instrument cluster not lit you can not see your odometer miles nor what gear you are in. By reading online i found that there are a lot of cases just like mine. Gm needs to have a recall on this. It is not the consumers fault that gm has faulty equipment in these vehicles. Thanks for your time and consideration.
I been having problem out of everything for a while my lights on
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle was having electrical issues. The rear brake lights, power windows, and power door locks stopped working. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired where it was diagnosed that the bcm module needed to be updated along with the driver side door master switch. The failure mileage was unknown.
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe andi 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?
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 togm about this matter & i hold them responsible for this. Maybe now a ford???????
Electrical problems resulting from burned washer fluid heater
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The contact mentioned that the battery was replaced on six occasions, but the failure recurred. In addition, the door locks independently locked and the lights on the instrument panel flashed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the negative cable hot 1.5 ample and two volt drop positive cables were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000. The vin was unavailable.
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.
I was stopped at a stop sign when all the lights on the dashboard went out and smoke started coming out of the ignition switch. I turned the vehicle off and removed the key. The smoke stopped but the dashboard started making weird ticking noises.
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.
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.
I have a recall on my air bag and i want it fixed before it becomes a problem
2007 tahoe went up in flames while parked, still do not know the cause.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that while at a highway rate of speed, smoke entered the interior of the vehicle within the vents and dashboard. The area of the dashboard and vents erupted into flames as well as under the hood.a fire fighter extinguished the flames and report was filed. The contact sustained minor injuries to the face and hands with no further medical treatment. The vehicle was towed to a impound lot. The insurance company was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
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. It 50% of the time will start up if i allow it to sit for moment, at other times i have to jump it. It currently has new battery, which did not help the problem.
My car has been in the shop for 7 weeks. I've spent $6,000 having the engine rebuilt as there wascylinder 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...
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 dashcracking 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 gmdealreship. The service department where the vehicle was inspected verified the cracks in the dash and they were very large.
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.
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.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states after driving on the highway for 15 minutes or so the tire low pressure indicator light on the instrument panel came on *tgwthe consumer stated before he took the vehicle to the dealer, the air was checked several times, with no indication of a problem.the consumer then took the vehicle to the dealer, where they replaced the sensor in the right rear tire.

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
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!!!
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.
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.
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!@
Repeated power failure. Battery died and had to be jump started on at least 4 occasions from11-07 through 12-07several other times tried to start and truck struggled. Had to turn off radio and lights then would start.took to dealer (vista chevrolet) on 12-17-07 and asked to have system tested.. Instead they just replaced battery.asked for system to be tested again july and august 08 (bob stall chevrolet) and it was not donecurrently having battery problem again but now is out of warranty and gm will not pay for diagnosis even though issue was discovered under warranty.some mornings truck will not start, other times it has been we sat parked for 10 minutes and then truck would not start. I feel there is a defect in our power system but gm and the dealers refuse to investigate unless i pay them for diagnosis.. I will be getting diagnosis from a part store before i pay for it. Even after diagnosis they claim no guarantee they will pay for any needed repairs even though issue was discovered under warranty.
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.
I was driving down the road and i lost all power and all my lights came on on my dash i just about got hit from behind
It was parked at the store parking lot and suddenly it was on fire it was totally destroyed the front, the seats and all the motor and nearest parts.
My 2007 tahoe sputtered and hesitated as i approached a stop sign. As i stopped stability control / traction control dashlights appeared as well as the check engine , they both blinked and dash read service stabilitrak, and service traction control. As i pulled from stop sign the tranny slammed into 2nd gear with a bang and i was barely accelerating pulled over and shut the car off. When i tried to restart it just turned over. It took a few tries to get it to start, and when it did i smelled a strong smell of unburned fuel from the exhaust. I will contact gm to file complaint as my tahoe has only 97k on it. Hopefully it's covered by warranty.
Vehicle electrical system repeatedly shuts off while driving. Loss of critical components that are required to control vehicle. No warning whatsoever...
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states several issues with vehicle and request information on recalls, service bulletins, warranties or lemon law *tgwthe consumer stated the cruise control down shifted to 2nd while driving at highway speeds and on hills, the starter would hang, there was a noise coming from the ac compressor. The transmission was replaced. However, it continued to hesitate after the vehicle was started, as well as a vibration. There was a clicking noise coming from the differential, the idle needle would rise, while at a stop, the battery drained, the engine stalled, the dash was cracked, there was a problem with the suspension, the tire pressure monitoring system was repaired three times, the passenger side mirror was inoperable, the weather strip had come off the vehicle and there was a clicking noise coming from the u-joint.
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe i've been having problems with the stabilitrak control traction control and the fuel sender for about a couple of wks warranty that i purchased for my car don't want to cover for this!!!!!!!!!!lights keep turning on loud noise from engine car not running well at all!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While traveling at a speed of 35 mph the contact press on the brake and the vehicle accelerated up to 40 mph. The contact pressed the break again and the vehicle immediately stopped. Contact experienced failure with several components such as thebattery,all the power door locks lock it automatically sets the alarm off. When the contact places his left foot close to the break pedal and emergency brake the interior lights and chimes would come on. On another occasion while parked the vehicles air bag deployed with smoke coming from the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the control module was replaced after the second battery replacement and the air bag system has not been repaired. Dealer refuses to perform service until further notice from the manufacturer. The current mileage is 36,500 and failure mileages were 15,000.updated 5/20/2010 updated 09/-7/10
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. We have also replaced broken motor mounts and tie rod ends. Additionally, the vehicle was constantly running hot and we replaced the thermostat and radiator. The vehicle leaks oil and our mechanic said that it's the rear main seal that needs to be replaced.
They unlock or lock by itself, seats start moving around, radio will act up, the lcd for the dvd player stops working some times, air conditioning won't work on some vents, side mirrors, back trunk door won't work,lights in the car goes dim some times while driving, there is a brand new battery in there, some times once in a while it won't start.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
2007 chevy tahoe z71, original owner- vehicle has had consistent problems with battery going dead since vehicle was new.battery replaced by dealer. Unable to keep doors open with interior lighting on for more than 5 mins. Battery tender added and battery is trickle charged weekly to avoid dead battery. Interior lighting has been turned off to avoid dead battery. Dead batteries seem to be common on this year vehicle. I am unable to rely on this vehicle to start when i am on long trips from home. I carry a spare optima deep cycle battery & jumper cables with me when i take family on vacation.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 10v240000 (electrical system). The contact stated the remedy being offered was not an adequate repair and believed the manufacturer should be urged to provide a new remedy. The contact has not experienced any failures at this time and refused the recall repair. The current mileage was 51,000 miles.
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.
It dies on a nightly basisand i see forums where this is a in going problemwhere the computer needs updated and the radio continueslyrunsand thats not the only drain
Dash cracked on left side of steering wheel hump.a few months later the dash cracked on the upper left side of passenger air bag.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact noticed a burning odor from the front of the vehicle. The windshield wiper fluid function failed and the radio continued to function after the contact shut the vehicle off. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but the failures recurred. The contact also mentioned that the battery warning light would illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 10v240000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
Takata inflatorsi 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.
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.
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.
The cluster readings turned off for a period of time while the vehicle was being driven and not able to see any speed nor gauges readouts during a period of over hour, stopped for gas and the vehicle did not started for 10 mins all cluster gauges not reading at all but able to turn the lights/radio etc.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact observed the plastic ring around the ignition switch detached from the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the dashboard was fractured on the driver side of the vehicle and the horn failed. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.
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+/-
I had driven the vehicle for 50 minutes. Parked turned the ignition off for 30 minutes. Next neighbor knocked on the door and said "your tahoe is on fire". We called the fire department because we could not put the flames out. Fire department took only five minutes to get there. Once the fire was out we noticed that the tahoe was totaled. From the naked eye it looks like the electrical fire started on the driver side under the windshield wiper. There's huge hole in the dashboard behind the left windshield wiper. I only had the car for 65 days. Big disappointment because i really like the 2007 tahoe.

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.
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.
No power on the driver side door (window, mirror, and lock)
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.
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.
My tire monitoring system went out and now my keyless entry remote does not work.this same thing has happened to my daughter's and her husband's vehicle that he drives for work and they are all 2007 chevrolet tahoes.this is quite an expensive repair and i feel that 3 people that own the same make model and year that something must be faulty.
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.
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.
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.
Top of fuel pump rotting away and leaking fuel and fumes.led inst. Cluster not working, unable to est, mileage or any engine info that is posted.not a moving part not relegated to wear and tear.should not have gone blank as odometer is a mandated item in a vehicle.
The monitor or sensor of thecar 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.
Every thing electrical goes crazy every once in awhile,check engine,service tra, air conditioning, seats,brand new battery drains and more
The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 chevy tahoe lt. It literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. It is a miracle that the entire car did not go up in flames. I've done a little research online and apparently this is not an isolated incident. The 2006-2007 chevy trialblazers and toyota rav4's have had the same issues. I believe there needs to be a recall of some sort in order to make sure this does not happen to anyone else and potentially catch the entire vehicle on fire.
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. Istarted 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!
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 thencompletely 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 didnā€™t seem like a safety concern up until iā€™ve read several post of others with same issue . ( iā€™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 addquart oil to my tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . Iā€™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 highwayaround 11 pm .. My car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoeand 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 wasfairly new . Well we had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day ā€¦ he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldnā€™t see anythjng and told me i should sale it right awayhe warned me of a lot of issueshe 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 !
While driving it he vehicle it shuts off, all of the gauges go to zero the power steering goes out and i am no longer able to accelerate until i restart the car. The lights inside and out go off and on . The doors lock and unlock continuously,. In the past year this has happened 3 or 4 times.
Battery dies out often, had it recharged more than 5 times since 2007...dashboard cracked on driver side about six months ago also. Now the "engine power reduced light comes on" and all of a sudden the car will go really slow and increase speed very slowly. Had this happen several times. Do not know the cause.
Myself and a friend were driving on the i75 to cincinnatti, ohioand my truck was fine, no issues, no problems, and all of the sudden halfway therethere 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.
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. But the fire was only in the rear of the suv. I'm sure this will be a battle! other things are my windshield also comes on random times with the water spraying whenever it wants. Door handles in the middle of the handle was sharp and had to be replaced. Lettering on buttons doesn't seem to last. Lot's of seat belt problems.
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 theproblem 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 theproblem 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.
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 done due to an open ticket with gmc regarding the acceleration issue.chevrolet has downloaded images/information from the vdr and has stated that there is/are issues and reset and returned the vdr to me requesting again that i take more images when my vehicle is stuck in acceleration and to be careful.initial attempt for this repair in september noted "drivable concern."problem is recurring from 0-9 incidents each day. I am concerned for the safety of others as well as myself.
Rear end went out at 150k. Dash cracked near passenger airbagradio don't work if it's raining
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.
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.

The power lift gate for my car is not working properly. It does one of several things, works correctly when it wants to. 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.

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.

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!!

Vehicle caught fire while parked in owner's garage, damaged vehicle and garage. Fire burned within left side of engine compartment.
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 fromthe different electrical components inside the doors for windows and/or the power locks.
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 mybusiness unless gm can make things right for their customer.
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.

I have 3 issues . Low power which read a lot of people have the same issue (bad torque converter).bad oil loss. Which everyone seems to have .which the won't fix . Transmission slipping which everyone is having and is not the transmission it's electrical.i was told to send a complaint in to you guys. I have read alot on this car and these are very common problems with the 07 tahoe and i have all 3.
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.
Air bag lights came on and sensors need to be replaced i should not have to pay for this being it is a safety issue and it is defect on gmc part.
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.
The driver information computer screen and prnd321 lights have failed.the dashboard inside has cracked in two areas.
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.
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!!!!

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!@
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 theproblem 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 theproblem 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.

My "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", abs light, check engine light all came on. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlining, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" on their own. This happened repetitively as i was driving.i have owned my 2007 chevy tahoe for 18 months and this has occurred 4-5 times, twice in the first 12 months. I have taken to a chevy dealer twice to diagnose and repair the problem but they haven't been able to diagnose problem.
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.
As i was driving down the interstate at acontrolled speed of 70mph i suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. As this happened i felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. This is now happening every day i drive to work or anywhere i drive over 55mph. I have a 4 month old son and i am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. I have read that service centers can not fix this.
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe i've been having problems with the stabilitrak control traction control and the fuel sender for about a couple of wks warranty that i purchased for my car don't want to cover for this!!!!!!!!!!lights keep turning on loud noise from engine car not running well at all!!!!!
Stabiltrakar and only half the motor is running
Myself and a friend were driving on the i75 to cincinnatti, ohioand my truck was fine, no issues, no problems, and all of the sudden halfway therethere 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.
Sometimes the stable track system comes on and goes off causing the transmission and carter jerk and steer poorly too many complaints about this needs to be taken care of
Under numerous circumstances, the "service stablilitrak and service traction control " appears in the dash message center along with audible beeps. Shortly after this happens the vehicle engine goes into limp mode with limited power and speed. I have been on interstates with heavy traffic and this becomes challenging to remedy asap and get out of the way. The original part suggested was the throttle body, this was replaced and the problem seemed to go away for 12-16 month. The problem has come back and the throttle body is not suspect this time. The dealer basciallytrouble shoots the problem with parts.
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.
My 2007 tahoe sputtered and hesitated as i approached a stop sign. As i stopped stability control / traction control dashlights appeared as well as the check engine , they both blinked and dash read service stabilitrak, and service traction control. As i pulled from stop sign the tranny slammed into 2nd gear with a bang and i was barely accelerating pulled over and shut the car off. When i tried to restart it just turned over. It took a few tries to get it to start, and when it did i smelled a strong smell of unburned fuel from the exhaust. I will contact gm to file complaint as my tahoe has only 97k on it. Hopefully it's covered by warranty.
Takata recall
Takata recallengine power reduced, stabilitrak needs servicing. I've replaced parts twice same problems again. Very dangerous. Ive seen numerous complaints of this. I need help. Vehicle will slow down and not accelerate.
I was at a stop light, and the problem happened unexpectedly when i pressed on the gas when the light turned green. My car moved forward just slightly, jerked hard to a complete stop, and it wouldn't drive anymore. I was able to get pushed to the side in neutral, but needed a tow to the dealer. The only working gears were r, 3, 2, and 1. Bringing it into the dealer, they confirmed there was a problem with the transmission. I had done some research when this happened and noticed that a lot of people had the same problem, all in the same type of scenario where they were at a complete stop. Second issue, not nearly as major is the stabilitrak. The light goes on and off constantly, pretty much from the first year i've had the car. And lastly, the interior chrome door handles have all peeled off and cut me and my passengers several times. The exterior door handles have come loose, the fuel pocket is completely broken, and after a heavy rain, water gets trapped inside the shell of the back door and sloshes around while i'm driving. I have to remove the bottom lining of the door for the trapped water to be released.
While driving the tahoe out of no where the warning light pops on says no traction control and that the engine is decreasing power and the car shuts off the power steering turns off and it leaves my wife in scarey situations it is a common issue as i have researched multiple tahoes suburbans silverados of similar year have the same exact issue...how is this not recalled and gms responsibility to fix before ppl start losing there lives...this is extremely dangerous...i am selling this tahoe asap and this was my wifes dream car..thanks gm for standing behind your work and taking care or problems you created.
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.

130,000 miles on this 2007 tahoe. Had just exited the freeway and was going about 30 mph on a high traffic street (speed limit is 55) when my car started shaking and the engine light turned on, engine stabilizing, brake light turned on, track control stabilizing, every light/sensor turned on as my car was shutting down. The engine was still on and was shaking but i could not drive. I turned the car off for a few minutes and then turned it back on just so i can try to get back to work. Taking it to the shop after work to see what is happening.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard an abnormal noise and smelled a burning odor. In addition, the check engine, the tire, the traction, and the rear access warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
While driving the vehicle the stab trac warning pops up on the message window and we lose power. We have had it to the garage for the same problem multiple times and we have replaced multiple different things and it keeps coming back. As per online records of this vehicle it appears shelby does not know how to fix it either. I'm tired of just throwing parts at it and want to fix it permanently. Every time this problem occurs in a while we are driving at at least above species of 40 miles an hourand to be honest it's more of a safety hazard because it goes into limp mode and then you can only go 10 to 15 mph.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. After having the oil changed, the vehicle failed to start and the stabilitrak indicator illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 183,544.
I can not put gas in my vehicle i have to pump gas very slowly & when i go on road trips my stabilitrak & traction control light comes on
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 stabilitrackdid the same thing. After waiting 10 minutes or so i was able to start thevehicle 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.
I have been dealing with the same problem as the previous complaint...ironically, my vehicle was manufactured in tx too, but, i purchased it used in va in 2011 odometer-73,625. To date, i only have 101,225- i started having constant stabilitrack/traction control issues right after 100,000- caused steering wheel to lock up and loss of power in addition to door locks suddenly locking/unlocking, car alarm going off, and hazard blinkers not working (all while in the middle of rush hour traffic)! after this constant issue was "repaired"-for 6th time, a few months later, i experienced a different problem. After waiting at a stop light, the vehicle would not accelerate-i had to push gas all the way to the floor, barely reaching 20mph, then, the car started shaking & to make matters worse, the brakes were barely working. Thankfully, i was near a parking lot & was able to pull over. This time i think it is a bcm or pcs issue. It seems the "flex-fuel" 4wd 2007 tahoes are having major issues. This should be constitute under lemon law. I am too scared to drive now-the car has been sitting in my driveway for a long time, yet i have to pay insurance & registration. I'm sick of wasting money as well. Please help us (2007 tahoe owners), fix these issues! thank you.

Oil consumption of at least a quart between oil changes, misfiring at idle causing check engine light, stability track control service light. Chevrolet tells me there is not even 1 service bulletin or recall notice on my tahoe.
I was driving and the engine light the traction light and the tire monitor system light lit up then the sign said engine power reduce and then the car engine started shaking really bad.
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 mybusiness unless gm can make things right for their customer.
After removing the terminals in the battery the truck didn't start no more only some dashboard lights on but no start.
My 2007 tahoe all of the sudden started shaking and bucking while driving with my wife and two small kids (on valentines! wife was not happy).the service engine light came on as well as warning messages saying the traction control failed, check brake system and service stabilink system.it limped to our house and then it stalled and eventually was very hard to start.i took it to the dealership next morning and was told that the #6 lifter collapsed and they needed to check the camshaft to see if that was damaged.i'm still waiting on the call to see what the total damage is but i was told it was the active fuel management system.i also saw a lot of people's complaints online of the same thing.gm needs to own up and recall this issue.the estimate i got was around $3,500-$4,500 to repair this.
The problem is stated in technical service bulletin pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m that gm sent out regarding afn lifters failing due to oil starvation. Gm knows about this problem and sent out the information on how to diagnose it and fix it. However this is a known problem in the 5.3l engines and a very expensive problem!in my situation it caused a soak plug and the spark plug housing to blow completely out of the engine! which could have injured someone or caused damage to something if it had gotten out of the engine compartment. I was on a major highway going 50 mph with high traffic. As stated this is a known problem and gm won't even cover any portion of the cost to fix it! in my case i only owned the vehicle for 4 months and had this happen. I am now paying for a vehicle that i can barely drive and shouldnt be driving!at any moment the whole engine could blow up but i have no choice but to drive it until i have the $4000 to fix it! gm should have to cover repairs or at least a portion of the cost of repairs!i have seen numerous complaints on the web regarding this problem from other owners of the vehicles effected by pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m. Yet gm will not help consumers in any way at all with the expensive cost of this repair! with the amount of complaints i have seen it should be a recall! there could be other safety issues that other owners could have had also. This known problem also effects other functions of the vehicle such as stabilitak system. When this system is malfunctioning the vehicle hits bumps and throws the vehicle off the road making steering the vehicle very hard to control. This an accident could occur.
My truck is consuming lots of oil and gas. Took it for an oil change and they say it was no oil in it after putting in two quarts in two days ago. My truck was saying i had oilbut i didnt by the stick. My stabilitrack and traction control light is on and it is running rough. The computer is reading a misfire in cylinder one. Got everything checked and i was told it is something inside the engine. I reafmd about alot of complaints on the same thing thats wrong with my truck. Their needs to be a recall on these engines with the amount of oil it consumes and damagjng the engine...please tell me can you all help!!
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!!
There have been repeated occurrences - both upon starting vehicle and when driving - where the check engine light will come on, followed by "service stabilitrak" "service traction control" and "engine power reduced", accompanied by very rough engine noise and the inability to go above 45 mph. Very dangerous when it happens on a freeway. After vehicles sits for an hour or so, normal engine function is restored. Dealer has replaced accelerator pedal a few times, but has no explanation for problem.
Since november 11, 2014, the stability track turns off while driving.i recently relocated to philadelphia, pa from austin, texas.i have called several dealers and have been told it's a sensor (that according one honest dealer, doesn't exist).the worst moment of all was during a drive into work after moving to philadelphia. It was snowing maybe an inch or two, the stability control turned off on it's own.i went to break and my truck pulled to the right and bounced to a stop, narrowly avoiding a couple standing on the sidewalk. I managed to get to the office by driving 25 miles per hour for 10 miles. I again called several dealers one who agreed to look at my truck at no cost. He had my truck for the day and could not duplicate the issue.what i found was most of the dealers only drive the vehicle around the block, never more then a couple of minutes.it takes about 15 minutes at speeds around 45 to 65 miles per hour for this issue to show.when i asked the dealer to drive my truck in the same condition they stated they don't do that. So still no remedy for this issue.this makes no since that chevy has not put out any statements or explained this issue.they have to know this is a problem.i am wondering if this isn't another "hide the findings until we get caught" approach.someone has to know what is causing this.i think its time for a few lawsuits or class action suit.seems these guys don't do anything until you hit them in their pockets.
Light comes ondash stability track control the anti lock brake is on and traction control light is on and also on dash light says traction control off.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving 45 mph, the service engine warning light, traction control warning light, and stabiltrac warning light illuminated. On several occasions, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated and failed to respond. While the vehicle was stationary or parked, it backfired. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 171,000.
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 severaltimes 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 of this problem.i decided to research it myself and have found hundreds and hundreds of posts&forums of people saying the exact same thing. Which is why i am contacting you, if this is happening in many chevy/gmc cars w/stabilitrac this is soooo dangerous.to have your car suddenly reduce power to 10-15 miles per hour (with no brake lights or warnings to people behind you) is extremely dangerous.
Stabilitrak light keeps coming on causing the tahoe to jerk.
This is about the 10th time this has happened...stability track comes on- reduces engine power...dealership finally changed thethrottle body in june of 2011...not going to believe this- but it has started back up december of 2011...not a happy camper.this is so dangerous.like toyota vehicles accelerating this does the opposite ..it decreases acceleration. You have to get off the highway put your flashes on -shut vehicle off and try to call someone for assistance.i plan to get rid of this vehicle.please notify all owners before it causes major problems. Again, very dangerous...not sure what is causing this issue, internet claims bad gas...i just know its awful to be in this situation...
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.
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.
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. We have also replaced broken motor mounts and tie rod ends. Additionally, the vehicle was constantly running hot and we replaced the thermostat and radiator. The vehicle leaks oil and our mechanic said that it's the rear main seal that needs to be replaced.
My issues started almost two years ago when dropping my child off at daycare. I was on the highway and noticed a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. At first i was not sure what it was until i pulled in the daycare and it was evident something was wrong. At that point the stablitrak and traction control light started flashing. I had to have the vehicle towed because i tried to move it and when i put it in gear it jerked so hard i was scared the engine blew. I took it to the certified chevy mechanic, cylinder 6 misfire. We replaced the plugs, coil packs etc, trying to see what the issue could be.he finally replaced all 16 lifters, cam, head gaskets and oil pump as well. Once he got it together, it was still a misfire on cylinder 6. He took it apart to look at the pistons, they were fine. The top of the motor he practically everything brand new on it. The chevy dealership are aware of the lifter issues with this vehicle and blatantly told me, i need a new engine or could purchase a new vehicle. Still no resolve as of june 23, 2020! please issue a recall on this as so many of these vehicles have this issue and it's not fair to us that they designed the engine so poorly.
While driving, the electronic traction control and stability control shuts off and a warning appears on the dash. After driving a few miles the stability control comes back on for a short time and then goes off again. While driving the stability control may shut off intermittently several times. When the stability control goes off the transmission shifts very rough.the vehicle has been take to 2 chevrolet dealers at total of 3 times. Each time they check the codes and reset the computer but the intermittent stability control and traction control problems return a few days later.
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.
When i drive my truck my stability an traction control lights come on an my truck slows down want let me go over 30 mph its even cuts off sometimes while i am driving
I been having problem out of everything for a while my lights on
Was driving and when exiting freeway. Truck started shaking really bad and traction /stability control light came on. Engien light has been coming on and off for about a year. All they do is reset system and comes right back on a few days later. It been well taken care of. Bought it in 06 and paid it off in 08. This truck has been giving me many problem since 09. I even have a crake on dash board all the way to air bag since 08. Dealer said no recalls and is due to sun! bull.... I have been reading on-line and many people have simalier problems.
I have an 07 tahoe and have read from other people that this is happening to alot of others as well. I had my truck inspected at the chevy dealer in lake elsinore. They said it could be a number of things and thought that cleaning my intake system would fix the problem. It was fine for one day then out of nowhere driving on the freeway my stability trac light comes on and the check engine light and says reduced engine power . I had my wife and kids in the truck and find it funny that i guess this has happened to others with different vehicles but the same year gmc yukons. I had the same problem as one and they were near semi trucks. This is not good even worse when you are no longer under the warranty and the dealer can't tell you exactly what it is but wants to try everything. That is wrong. This is dangerous to have happen and even worse when the dealer wants to say they are not exactly sure but find out from reading about others vehicles like mine with the same problem and no help.
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.
Cylinder 1,3,5,7 in engine has misfires, this enging has the afm and tjevv4/v8 mode is wearing out the engines and causing them to fail. My engine has had the valve lifters fail. My engine now has a tapping sound, and after taking to garage they have informed me this is an ongping issue with this year of tahoe and problem is very common and they said it is s bad design. I was driving 70mph on the highway when cylinders 13,5,7 started misfiring, car went from 70mph to less then 40 mph and started shaking and studderring, aslnost got tearended on the highway because of this.after garage inspected vehicle they have determined the valve lifters, cam shaft are bad in the engine and have cause the traction control and stabiltrack errors in my tahoe. So now i have to get the engine rebuilt because of gm bad active fuel management design,(afm) i have been complaining of the issue since my tahoe had been using a quart of oil every oil change
Stabilitrack light comes on and truck operates brakes and steering without my input. Engine has loss of power and runs rough.
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.
Our 2007 chevy tahoe had been driven for about an hour and then parked for approximately two hours. Upon starting the tahoe with cold engine and pulling away from the curb there was an immediate smell of something toxic coming from the air vents followed by black smoke from the engine compartment. The vehicle was stopped and turned off and less than a minute later there were flames emanating from under the hood and within a couple of minutes the hood was blown open and the entire front of the car was engulfed in flames.

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 thencompletely 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 didnā€™t seem like a safety concern up until iā€™ve read several post of others with same issue . ( iā€™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 addquart oil to my tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . Iā€™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 highwayaround 11 pm .. My car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoeand 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 wasfairly new . Well we had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day ā€¦ he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldnā€™t see anythjng and told me i should sale it right awayhe warned me of a lot of issueshe 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 !
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard an abnormal noise and smelled a burning odor. In addition, the check engine, the tire, the traction, and the rear access warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the oil engine warning light illuminated and that the oil needed to be replenished every 1,500 miles. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the pistons needed to be replaced and that the motor needed to be rebuilt. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the vehicle was placed under an oil consumption test for 100 miles and discovered that the vehicle needed a heavier oil. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Excessive oil consumption. Quart of oil every 1000 miles. The engine, spark plugs, intake manifold, and sensors are all affected.
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!!!
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the stability control warning light illuminated, the steering seized and the vehicle stalled simultaneously. The failure was experienced several times. The contact was able to coast onto the shoulder and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 105,753.
Uses a quart on oil every 1,000 miles but it is not leaking it.
Our extra third vehicle tahoe, is driven on the weekends or when the entire family is going out.on october 10th, we notice a knocking noise while driving or sitting idle.we took the car to the dealership on october 11th and was told we needed a new engine or to buy a new vehicle. We took the car to a local mechanic on october 13th for a second opinion and was told the car was 2 quarts low in oil. Which was a major red flag to the mechanic. Now, we have to purchase a new engine.
Sometimes the stable track system comes on and goes off causing the transmission and carter jerk and steer poorly too many complaints about this needs to be taken care of
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the reduced engine speed warning indicator randomly flashed several times. The vehicle drastically reduced speed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who replaced the throttle body position sensor, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
The oil level low light came on in the car.i took the car to my local mechanic.he also has a 2007 tahoe.he told me to take the car to the local chevy dealer.he has seen this many times in the 2007 tahoe, apparently they burn oil and it is due to a defective design of the piston and piston ring.the dealer paid for his tahoe to be fixed.i was told that gm now uses a minimum participation financial calculator and gm would only pay for 45% of the cost to repair, leaving me with a $1,705.10 repair bill.i was able to get the repair cost down to $850.however, this car is defective.i have not even finished paying for the car and the dealer is telling me i need a new engine due to a design flaw.i think gm needs to do the right thing here and repair their flawed 2007 tahoes.gm clearly knows of the flaw as they redesigned the 2008 piston and piston ring.
I purchased my 2007 tahoe to be the last car i would need to buy as i am near retirement.i am very worried now that it will need some major repairs to correct the oil consumption.chevrolet should cover these repairs as it is obvious there is a design problem with the engine and thousands of users have this problem.for the enormous cost of the vehicle i expected better.i should have kept my old 1998 tahoe.it probably would still be running and wouldnt need oil between oil changes.
My 2007 tahoe all of the sudden started shaking and bucking while driving with my wife and two small kids (on valentines! wife was not happy).the service engine light came on as well as warning messages saying the traction control failed, check brake system and service stabilink system.it limped to our house and then it stalled and eventually was very hard to start.i took it to the dealership next morning and was told that the #6 lifter collapsed and they needed to check the camshaft to see if that was damaged.i'm still waiting on the call to see what the total damage is but i was told it was the active fuel management system.i also saw a lot of people's complaints online of the same thing.gm needs to own up and recall this issue.the estimate i got was around $3,500-$4,500 to repair this.
I have been dealing with the same problem as the previous complaint...ironically, my vehicle was manufactured in tx too, but, i purchased it used in va in 2011 odometer-73,625. To date, i only have 101,225- i started having constant stabilitrack/traction control issues right after 100,000- caused steering wheel to lock up and loss of power in addition to door locks suddenly locking/unlocking, car alarm going off, and hazard blinkers not working (all while in the middle of rush hour traffic)! after this constant issue was "repaired"-for 6th time, a few months later, i experienced a different problem. After waiting at a stop light, the vehicle would not accelerate-i had to push gas all the way to the floor, barely reaching 20mph, then, the car started shaking & to make matters worse, the brakes were barely working. Thankfully, i was near a parking lot & was able to pull over. This time i think it is a bcm or pcs issue. It seems the "flex-fuel" 4wd 2007 tahoes are having major issues. This should be constitute under lemon law. I am too scared to drive now-the car has been sitting in my driveway for a long time, yet i have to pay insurance & registration. I'm sick of wasting money as well. Please help us (2007 tahoe owners), fix these issues! thank you.

130,000 miles on this 2007 tahoe. Had just exited the freeway and was going about 30 mph on a high traffic street (speed limit is 55) when my car started shaking and the engine light turned on, engine stabilizing, brake light turned on, track control stabilizing, every light/sensor turned on as my car was shutting down. The engine was still on and was shaking but i could not drive. I turned the car off for a few minutes and then turned it back on just so i can try to get back to work. Taking it to the shop after work to see what is happening.

Stabiltrakar and only half the motor is running
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.
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 mybusiness unless gm can make things right for their customer.
I have 3 issues . Low power which read a lot of people have the same issue (bad torque converter).bad oil loss. Which everyone seems to have .which the won't fix . Transmission slipping which everyone is having and is not the transmission it's electrical.i was told to send a complaint in to you guys. I have read alot on this car and these are very common problems with the 07 tahoe and i have all 3.
My truck is consuming lots of oil and gas. Took it for an oil change and they say it was no oil in it after putting in two quarts in two days ago. My truck was saying i had oilbut i didnt by the stick. My stabilitrack and traction control light is on and it is running rough. The computer is reading a misfire in cylinder one. Got everything checked and i was told it is something inside the engine. I reafmd about alot of complaints on the same thing thats wrong with my truck.

Takata recall
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at 3 mph, the vehicle stalled after the ignition key was bump inadvertently. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,000.
Drove car across town (2 miles @ 25 mph); parked car for 15 seconds.car started to smoke in engine compartment.got out, popped hood and engine already on fire.called 911, fire department arrived within 10 minutes.car towed.car totaled by insurance company.gm contacted, looked at pictures of burnt engine we emailed to them, gm will not physically inspect vehicle, but told us the tahoe was too burnt up to determine cause of fire.
Air bag lights came on and sensors need to be replaced i should not have to pay for this being it is a safety issue and it is defect on gmc part.
While driving on i-75 in florida coming from kentucky (relocating my mother in law), i and a friend who was taking a turn driving smelled an odor similar to sulfur or natural gas. Within 10-15 minutes, smoke started coming out of the front driver engine compartment. Driver immediately pulled to the emergency lane as a fireball exploded from the same area as the smoke. We both dove out of the vehicle on the passenger side. The entire vehicle with nearly all the contents burned, all the way down to the tires.
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.
A pop was heard under the engine areaand immediately after that the car began to idle very rough. It would not run properly and had to pull off the street into a gas station. Inside the car the check engine light and the stabilitrak service soon light were on. After several minutes we turned the car off and then on again, we decided to move again and the idling was worse. The stabilitrak and check engine light were flashing on and off. We began to move but the car was idling very bad and shifting very hard after a few feet of movement. We drove the car to the nearest firestone dealer to see what the problem was. Firestone called to notify us that the cylinder #1 was either stuck/froze and that we would need to open the cylindercover to see exactly what was wrong. The next day firestone notified us that the cylinder rod was broken and that we needed to do a cylinder replacement on the car. The car only had 88k miles and we are the original owners, this is too early to have these problems on a car with less than 100k miles. I found some articles on-line where this is an ongoing problem with gm and that the 20007-08, 5.3l v8 engines, the first with the flex fuel system, are starting to fail at the 80k plus miles range. We have had our service performed at our local chevy dealer and the car has been maintained well. It is an expensive repair that should not be required on a car with low miles and good maintenance records. Firestone has fixed the car for $2,600.00 dollars, and car rental fees. This engine failure is a defect and a serious design flaw and we as consumers should not have to deal with this expensive repair without any help from gm if they are aware of this problem and have not filed a formal recall on this model year engine. This could be a dangerous condition if your driving on the highway and the car looses the engine performance at high speeds.
The number 1 cylinder keeps fouling out spark plugs. I have changed plugs, wires, and the coil pack. This fixes the problem for about 5 miles. It runs poorly, low idle, the stability trac comes on and says it is malfunctioning and needs to be serviced
Truck requires a quart of oil every 1500 miles. I knew it was a gas hog but surprised when it burn as much oil as fuel. Please fix this problem.
The problem is stated in technical service bulletin pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m that gm sent out regarding afn lifters failing due to oil starvation. Gm knows about this problem and sent out the information on how to diagnose it and fix it. However this is a known problem in the 5.3l engines and a very expensive problem!in my situation it caused a soak plug and the spark plug housing to blow completely out of the engine! which could have injured someone or caused damage to something if it had gotten out of the engine compartment. I was on a major highway going 50 mph with high traffic. As stated this is a known problem and gm won't even cover any portion of the cost to fix it! in my case i only owned the vehicle for 4 months and had this happen. I am now paying for a vehicle that i can barely drive and shouldnt be driving!at any moment the whole engine could blow up but i have no choice but to drive it until i have the $4000 to fix it! gm should have to cover repairs or at least a portion of the cost of repairs!i have seen numerous complaints on the web regarding this problem from other owners of the vehicles effected by pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m. Yet gm will not help consumers in any way at all with the expensive cost of this repair! with the amount of complaints i have seen it should be a recall! there could be other safety issues that other owners could have had also. This known problem also effects other functions of the vehicle such as stabilitak system. When this system is malfunctioning the vehicle hits bumps and throws the vehicle off the road making steering the vehicle very hard to control. This an accident could occur.
Bad engine cuts off while driving. Burn excessive oil and water. Motor makes loud noises. Brakes have to be changed every 2 months. Grinding noises when you take your feet of the gas , sounds like a 18 wheeler breaking down to stop. Now the engine won't turn over. Replaced sensors and timing but still not cranking.so now it needs a motor. Dashboard is cracked up so bad you can see inside to airbag. Which sometimes gets extremely hot.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving 45 mph, the service engine warning light, traction control warning light, and stabiltrac warning light illuminated. On several occasions, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated and failed to respond. While the vehicle was stationary or parked, it backfired. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 171,000.
Oil consumption of at least a quart between oil changes, misfiring at idle causing check engine light, stability track control service light. Chevrolet tells me there is not even 1 service bulletin or recall notice on my tahoe.
I was driving down the road and i lost all power and all my lights came on on my dash i just about got hit from behind
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.
Cylinder 1,3,5,7 in engine has misfires, this enging has the afm and tjevv4/v8 mode is wearing out the engines and causing them to fail. My engine has had the valve lifters fail. My engine now has a tapping sound, and after taking to garage they have informed me this is an ongping issue with this year of tahoe and problem is very common and they said it is s bad design. I was driving 70mph on the highway when cylinders 13,5,7 started misfiring, car went from 70mph to less then 40 mph and started shaking and studderring, aslnost got tearended on the highway because of this.after garage inspected vehicle they have determined the valve lifters, cam shaft are bad in the engine and have cause the traction control and stabiltrack errors in my tahoe. So now i have to get the engine rebuilt because of gm bad active fuel management design,(afm) i have been complaining of the issue since my tahoe had been using a quart of oil every oil change
My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in november 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First i was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be deadly. In reviewing comments in the chevroletforum.com many consumers are having the same issues with the same results (a guessing game) why isn't this a recall?
Under numerous circumstances, the "service stablilitrak and service traction control " appears in the dash message center along with audible beeps. Shortly after this happens the vehicle engine goes into limp mode with limited power and speed. I have been on interstates with heavy traffic and this becomes challenging to remedy asap and get out of the way. The original part suggested was the throttle body, this was replaced and the problem seemed to go away for 12-16 month. The problem has come back and the throttle body is not suspect this time. The dealer basciallytrouble shoots the problem with parts.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. After having the oil changed, the vehicle failed to start and the stabilitrak indicator illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 183,544.
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. We have also replaced broken motor mounts and tie rod ends. Additionally, the vehicle was constantly running hot and we replaced the thermostat and radiator. The vehicle leaks oil and our mechanic said that it's the rear main seal that needs to be replaced.
The contact commited to a 2007 chevrolet tahoe at an auction. While test driving the vehicle at any speed, the check engine and reduce engine power warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.
It was parked at the store parking lot and suddenly it was on fire it was totally destroyed the front, the seats and all the motor and nearest parts.
Engine began burning oil at a rate of 2 1/2 quarts per 1500 miles, saw problem with engine listed with nhtsa website, asked dealership about issue around 122,000 miles but was told not aware of problems, didnt get help until 135000 miles from another dealership and had to pay for half to have engine rebuilt
This is the second incident. Was driving at 45 mph and made a turn. The tahoe loss power and stalled. The computer read reduced engine power and stability trak off. This is bothersome being that this can happen anywhere at anytime. Afraid of possible accident or worse.
Truck burns an excessive amount of engine oil. I have to add a quart about every 800-1000 miles. I know that this is a common issue with this vehicle and a manufacturer error with the active fuel management control.
Dash is cracked in multiple places around airbag. Electrical system bugs out when driving in rainrngine consumes 2 quarts of oil in between changes
"takata recall" airbag light is on. My 07 chevy tahoe burns 1 quart of oil every 1000-1500 miles? dealer told me this is "normal"?????? it is not normal for any vehicle to burn this much oil in such little time!! chevy won't correct these problems! there are thousands of people with same troubles. Yet still no recall?????
Excessive oil consumption, dealer acknowledged the problem with that model year engine, after taking the vehicle in 3 times about this problem the installed oil deflector per tsb, still has not fixed the problem. Vehicle still uses 1.5 quarts of oil every 1000 miles, all maintenance has been done by the book by the dealership i purchased the vehicle from.
As i was driving down the interstate at acontrolled speed of 70mph i suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. As this happened i felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. This is now happening every day i drive to work or anywhere i drive over 55mph. I have a 4 month old son and i am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. I have read that service centers can not fix this.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle was started to mis-fire. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the piston rings were fracturing and needed to be replaced. The dealer advised the contact that replacing the piston rings would not correct the failure and that the engine would require replacement. The dealer stated they would not rebuild the engine even though just replacing the rings will not correct the problem. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was consuming excessive oil for a period of three years. The vehicle was scheduled for repairs. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 80,000.
Excessive oil consumption.
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.
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.
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!
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.
I have an 07 tahoe and have read from other people that this is happening to alot of others as well. I had my truck inspected at the chevy dealer in lake elsinore. They said it could be a number of things and thought that cleaning my intake system would fix the problem. It was fine for one day then out of nowhere driving on the freeway my stability trac light comes on and the check engine light and says reduced engine power . I had my wife and kids in the truck and find it funny that i guess this has happened to others with different vehicles but the same year gmc yukons. I had the same problem as one and they were near semi trucks. This is not good even worse when you are no longer under the warranty and the dealer can't tell you exactly what it is but wants to try everything. That is wrong. This is dangerous to have happen and even worse when the dealer wants to say they are not exactly sure but find out from reading about others vehicles like mine with the same problem and no help.
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe that i have had for only 1 month 3 weeks the engine shut down and went into a theft code and on star could not fine the problem. The next time this happen i was driving my truck and the motor shut down and went into a theft code lucky no one was behind me. This happen 9/9/06& 9/28/06.

Reference: near death experiences while driving our brand new (2 week old, chevrolet tahoe )my family and i have experienced 3 near death situations on two major interstates while driving the two week old 2007 tahoe that i purchased on may 20. I will explain the dangerous experiences we were subjected to in chevrolet tahoe. The chevrolet tahoe i just purchased 2 weeks ago has stalled on three occasions, while i was driving at 65-70 mph, on a busy interstate. When the incidents occurred there were many motorist on the interstate (at night and during the day) we went to two dealers and spoke with on star four times. The repairs were supposed to be completed but each time the suv stalled on the interstate causing a possibly fatal incident for my family and other motorist. The 2007 tahoe that i have been sold is clearly dangerous and defective. Now it's friday, june 9, 2006, and i have a brand new 2007 tahoe that is truly malfunctioning; my family needs safe and reliable transportation.
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.
Heavy oil consumption.the car says oil is low about every two weeks or less.
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.
I bought a 2007 tahoe with a mileage of just over 77k, the low oil light came on just as the first oil change was due(3k miles). It was approximately a quart low. The dealership i bought it it had just changed the oil so i thought, "maybe they just didnt put enough in." took it to local station that i get all my work done at to get an oil change. Light came on again before the next oil change was due again almost a quart low. I put more oil in and changed again at 83086. At 86147 light came on again and was 1 1/4 qts low, so i added more oil. Then at 87098 we were leaving to go on a road trip so i checked oil and it was 1/4 qt low. This appears to be a common problem for this year vehicle according to online reports. I shouldn't be having to add this much oil to the vehicle in such a short amount of mileage.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the oil pressure on the vehicle was extremely low. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the lifters needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,000.
- the contact stated that while drivingthe2007 chevrolet tahoeat 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.

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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated while driving at various speeds her v-8 engine should switch to a v-4 whenever she increased her speed to save on gasoline. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised her that the vehicle was stuck in v-8 and caused the vehicle to misfire. The 8 lifters,manifold, and all of the gaskets surrounding them were repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
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 theproblem 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 theproblem 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.
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 toexplode. 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 *cwupdated 09/17/08.
Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall hvac, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the air bag indicator continuously remains illuminated in the vehicle.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the air bags were not inflating properly.the retainer clip was replaced and the indicator was repaired.the indicator is currently illuminated again.the failure mileage was 34,665.updated 03/09/09. *ljthe air condition blew otu hot air, the dvd and onstar stopped working as well as the seats and windows no longer operate. Updated 03/12/09.
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.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states several issues with vehicle and request information on recalls, service bulletins, warranties or lemon law *tgwthe consumer stated the cruise control down shifted to 2nd while driving at highway speeds and on hills, the starter would hang, there was a noise coming from the ac compressor. The transmission was replaced. However, it continued to hesitate after the vehicle was started, as well as a vibration. There was a clicking noise coming from the differential, the idle needle would rise, while at a stop, the battery drained, the engine stalled, the dash was cracked, there was a problem with the suspension, the tire pressure monitoring system was repaired three times, the passenger side mirror was inoperable, the weather strip had come off the vehicle and there was a clicking noise coming from the u-joint.
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 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.
While driving it he vehicle it shuts off, all of the gauges go to zero the power steering goes out and i am no longer able to accelerate until i restart the car. The lights inside and out go off and on . The doors lock and unlock continuously,. In the past year this has happened 3 or 4 times.
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 filtersall this in less than 1 year and it's one thing after another. Very disappointed.
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 thencompletely 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 didnā€™t seem like a safety concern up until iā€™ve read several post of others with same issue . ( iā€™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 addquart oil to my tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . Iā€™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 highwayaround 11 pm .. My car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoeand 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 wasfairly new . Well we had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day ā€¦ he replaced the alternator and checked everything .

Taillight/headlight malfunction
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.
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.
I was stopped at a stop sign when all the lights on the dashboard went out and smoke started coming out of the ignition switch. I turned the vehicle off and removed the key. The smoke stopped but the dashboard started making weird ticking noises.
The driver information computer screen and prnd321 lights have failed.the dashboard inside has cracked in two areas.
Door handles (interior) chrome plating is peeling back and cutting fingers when you pull on them.
2007 chevrolet tahoe shows check engine light and gas gauge goes crazy, bouncing from empty to full and sometimes landing on a random reading.when gas gauge is not functioning properly, vehicle shows low fuel, even after filling up the truck.sometimes after filling up, the problem "resolves" itself - but other times, the gauge is still unreliable.this is a well-known problem for these vehicles and can be a safety issues should one run out of gas in busy traffic or in an unsafe area.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.while parked in the garage, the vehicle suddenly caughtfire.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.
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe i've been having problems with the stabilitrak control traction control and the fuel sender for about a couple of wks warranty that i purchased for my car don't want to cover for this!!!!!!!!!!lights keep turning on loud noise from engine car not running well at all!!!!!
The gas gauge has stopped working properly.it no longer registers the amount of fuel in the car.
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.
I have an 07 tahoe and have read from other people that this is happening to alot of others as well. I had my truck inspected at the chevy dealer in lake elsinore. They said it could be a number of things and thought that cleaning my intake system would fix the problem. It was fine for one day then out of nowhere driving on the freeway my stability trac light comes on and the check engine light and says reduced engine power . I had my wife and kids in the truck and find it funny that i guess this has happened to others with different vehicles but the same year gmc yukons. I had the same problem as one and they were near semi trucks. This is not good even worse when you are no longer under the warranty and the dealer can't tell you exactly what it is but wants to try everything. That is wrong. This is dangerous to have happen and even worse when the dealer wants to say they are not exactly sure but find out from reading about others vehicles like mine with the same problem and no help.
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.
The monitor or sensor of thecar 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.
I own 2007 chevy tahoe and my fuel gauge is mis leading,it makes it look like i have more gas than i do.i taken to the dealer 4 times and they cant find anything wrong,my fuel gauge is not registering right.
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe with about 46000 miles. About three weeks ago the fuel gauge began to malfunction and read inaccurate fuel levels. I called two of our local dealers and was told by one that the malfunction was caused by a faulty unit inside of the tank. I was told that it would be about a 400.00 repair. I was also told that the malfunctions were wide spread, and they had been making many warr repairs for this same problem. After doing some research online i was amazed to see how many people are experiencing the same problems with out of warr gm vehicles. Considering the wide spread problem with the fuel gauges i would hope that gm would voluntarily issue a recall and make the costly repair, even for out of warr vehicles.
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe will often show that i have more than a quarter tank of fuel, but will suddenly stall. It does not happen all the time, but rarely do i let the tank drop below a quarter due to the issue. It has stalled out both in my area neighborhood as well as on the highway. Also, the digital readout showing estimated mileage left, has shown above 100 miles when the vehicle stalls. The only way to restart the vehicle is to add 2 gallons of fuel or more.
I have a fuel gauge problem not reading correctly,it registers some gas in there when there is no gas in there. I can put 20.00 dollars of gas in there, but it will not register that which i just put in there, then sometimes it registers more, i'm not getting accurate readings from my gas gauge
I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe and in the past 2 years i have codes p0449 & p0455 codes come up constantly, we have already replace the parts that those codes request evap purge, veat valve 3 times and the car keeps giving the same issues, it starts with asking to tight the gas cap (replaced twice with original gm parts) and then the engine light comes next
Well there's a couple of recalls on the vehicle and i never received anything telling me when can i go get it fixed
This is the second incident. Was driving at 45 mph and made a turn. The tahoe loss power and stalled. The computer read reduced engine power and stability trak off. This is bothersome being that this can happen anywhere at anytime. Afraid of possible accident or worse.
Fuel leak came every time i fuel up, smell got inside the truck , i took it in for service was told seal between pump housing and tank seals and lines leaving tank made from plastic needed changing leaking ass well there is rust on the top of the housing of pump but no rust any where else on the truckestimated cost of repair 1500.00 tech at dealer said common problem but no recall issued yet since fuel leak issues are dangerous and they happen out of the blue
Cylinder 1,3,5,7 in engine has misfires, this enging has the afm and tjevv4/v8 mode is wearing out the engines and causing them to fail. My engine has had the valve lifters fail. My engine now has a tapping sound, and after taking to garage they have informed me this is an ongping issue with this year of tahoe and problem is very common and they said it is s bad design. I was driving 70mph on the highway when cylinders 13,5,7 started misfiring, car went from 70mph to less then 40 mph and started shaking and studderring, aslnost got tearended on the highway because of this.after garage inspected vehicle they have determined the valve lifters, cam shaft are bad in the engine and have cause the traction control and stabiltrack errors in my tahoe. So now i have to get the engine rebuilt because of gm bad active fuel management design,(afm) i have been complaining of the issue since my tahoe had been using a quart of oil every oil change
My suv gas hand doesn't work. Can be driving down the road after putting gas in it gas hand drops to low fuel and stays there until no gas in the suv
The top of the poly fuel tank has a recess for the electric fuel pump assembly which is gasket mounted within the tank. The two inch fuel line connectors atop the pump are metal.due to the design of the poly fuel tank, water can collect within the recess and cause the metal lines to rust-out at the connection bends for the poly fuel lines to engine. The smell of gas starts out as being subtle, however become stronger as the rust pin holes get larger. The gasoline leakage occurs while the vehicle is in operation. This is can be a major safety hazzard if someone throws a smoking button the highway.there should be a recall to repair this design
The complete fuel system rotted out from under the vehicle almost causing a fire. The fuel tank, fuel pump module, lock ring, fuel lines all had to be replaced and had to do a fuel spill clean up.luckily, i caught the fuel spill before the cadillac converter warmed up.my mechanic advised me to file a complaint with you because this should have never happened and feels gm should issue a recall due to a safety reasons.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed. The fuel tank was full however the fuel gauge read half tank and the following day fuel gauge read empty. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 96,300.
The top of the fuel pump rusts out. The fuel tank has a design flaw that holds water around the fuel pump. The fuel pump and fuel lines on top of the tank rust out and causes gas and fumes to escape the tank.fuel will spray onto exhaust and under the vehicle causing a fire hazard.also excessive fuel vapors escape the tank. I have researched the problem online and there are numerous complaints to gm of the problem but gm has not addressed the problem.i am not looking for any monetary gain i simply want gm to address the problem before someone is killed. Some people reported the problem before 100,000 miles and nearly all problems occur before 150,000.
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.
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.
Heavy gasoline fumes after vehicle driven a short distance. Fumes apparent at stops, sometimes while driving and parked. No trace of fumes or incipient leakage underhood, however there is weepage on the upper-inboard area of the tank itself. A very definite safety hazard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stabiltrakar and only half the motor is running
The problem is stated in technical service bulletin pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m that gm sent out regarding afn lifters failing due to oil starvation. Gm knows about this problem and sent out the information on how to diagnose it and fix it. However this is a known problem in the 5.3l engines and a very expensive problem!in my situation it caused a soak plug and the spark plug housing to blow completely out of the engine! which could have injured someone or caused damage to something if it had gotten out of the engine compartment. I was on a major highway going 50 mph with high traffic. As stated this is a known problem and gm won't even cover any portion of the cost to fix it! in my case i only owned the vehicle for 4 months and had this happen. I am now paying for a vehicle that i can barely drive and shouldnt be driving!at any moment the whole engine could blow up but i have no choice but to drive it until i have the $4000 to fix it! gm should have to cover repairs or at least a portion of the cost of repairs!i have seen numerous complaints on the web regarding this problem from other owners of the vehicles effected by pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m. Yet gm will not help consumers in any way at all with the expensive cost of this repair! with the amount of complaints i have seen it should be a recall! there could be other safety issues that other owners could have had also. This known problem also effects other functions of the vehicle such as stabilitak system. When this system is malfunctioning the vehicle hits bumps and throws the vehicle off the road making steering the vehicle very hard to control. This an accident could occur.
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.
I can not put gas in my vehicle i have to pump gas very slowly & when i go on road trips my stabilitrak & traction control light comes on
Had the smell of gas while driving, found fuel tank wet with gasoline. Removed fuel tank and found the top of the fuel pump assembly had rusted out and the fuel line fittings on the fuel pump had also rusted out and leaking.
Air bag recalls, around my airbags the dashboard is cracked. My check engine light is always on because of the gas cap. So that makes my automatic start not work. Very disappointed. Would love to give my son a truck i worked so hard to pay for... But the airbags being recalled and dealership not having airbags to replace is very unfortunate for the safety of myself, my children, and my family. I wish gm would make it right!
Takata recallengine power reduced, stabilitrak needs servicing. I've replaced parts twice same problems again. Very dangerous. Ive seen numerous complaints of this. I need help. Vehicle will slow down and not accelerate.
This vehicle is only 8 years old and fuel lines, fuel pump are rusted to the point of failing to support the pressures within the system. Obviously, the type of steel, thickness of fuel line steel material is not made in such manner as to give a reasonable service life before failing. This is a clear failure of an important system within this vehicle that everyone relies on performing to a level of reasonable trust.this failure is only noticeable when you get a gas leak underneath the vehicle, too late and already putting owners at risk of fires or vehicle dying on highway traffic. This leak usually happens very close to the gas tank which is made of plastic, so you only need a source of ignition to cause great damage and / or loss of life.i noticed this fuel leak on the road, when ismelled gas inside the car so i stopped at a gas station to get gas and checked underneath the vehicle and noticed a gas leak coming from what it looked like on top of the gas tank. On further examination, found that the gas leak was coming from the fuel pump supply line connections which were rusted to the point of leaking like a fountain. Installed a new pump and connections only to find other steel lines also rusted and also leaking. Please, this needs to be looked into before some people unaware of these defects pay dearly for some big car maker like gm using inferior materials so they could raise their profit line, regardless of people safety.
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe developed a fuel leak at the discharge of the fuel pump. The leak occurred on the top of the fuel tank directly below the left rear passenger seat. The leak sprayed fuel all over the gas tank and bottom of the truck body. This is a safety concern due to the possibility of the atomized fuel starting on fire. The driver or passengers could have been severely burned. The vehicle was in motion when the leak occurred. I noticed a very strong smell of fuel, i pulled over and gas was dripping off of the fuel tank. The fuel line depressurized after the engine was shut off and continued to spray gas for 10 to 15 seconds.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving various speeds, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle. In addition, there was fuel leaking from therear driver side by the fuel tank and tire. The service engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 198,000.
Top of fuel pump rotting away and leaking fuel and fumes.led inst. Cluster not working, unable to est, mileage or any engine info that is posted.not a moving part not relegated to wear and tear.should not have gone blank as odometer is a mandated item in a vehicle.
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.
Instrument panel is not visible during daytime light conditions.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the driver and passenger rear door could not be unlocked. The owner would have to manually pull the door lock up after opening the window in order to get the door open. The contact was concerned because a young child usually sat in the rear seat and the contact was concerned that in the event they would have to exit the vehicle hastily, the child could possibly become stuck in the vehicle.the vehicle was not inspected by a dealer nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000. The vin was unavailable.
Outer door handles frequently break sometimes coming off completely. These handles provide best emergency access to small children in rear child safety seats. Lack of reliable access posses significant safety risk.
Exterior door handle on my 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz practically broke off in my hand when opening the door. Major safety hazard that handles break apart and entry into the car could be a problem should their be an emergency or accident.
Chrome is separating from the left front inside door handle.as a result, the chrome is jagged and i have cut my hand numerous time.i heard that this was a common problem with this model.2007 chevrolet tahoe lt.
Liftgate glass fell on head when opened.appears weak bracket at top of glass is insufficient in quality, considering liftgate glass is rarely opened/closed.mileage at incident was 58,102...vehicle is 3 1/2 years old.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While traveling at a speed of 35 mph the contact press on the brake and the vehicle accelerated up to 40 mph. The contact pressed the break again and the vehicle immediately stopped. Contact experienced failure with several components such as thebattery,all the power door locks lock it automatically sets the alarm off. When the contact places his left foot close to the break pedal and emergency brake the interior lights and chimes would come on. On another occasion while parked the vehicles air bag deployed with smoke coming from the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the control module was replaced after the second battery replacement and the air bag system has not been repaired. Dealer refuses to perform service until further notice from the manufacturer. The current mileage is 36,500 and failure mileages were 15,000.updated 5/20/2010 updated 09/-7/10
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.
My wife opened the passenger door of our tahoe and the peeling chrome cut her finger.
I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe and over the past 3 months, the door handles have begun to come loose and pull off the vehicle.i've done research online and i've found that this is a very common problem.the piece is made of plastic and snaps into place and thus has become loose.all 4 of my doors are experiencing this problem and we've been told that gm is not covering this under warranty (i have an extended warranty as well) because it is considered a "trim" piece for the vehicle.this is another reason why i won't buy another gm car and hope they fail next time. I can't believe the government bailed them out and i would like a return of my portion of taxes given to them for their ignorance, lack of quality and lack of professionalism.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz. The contact stated that all four exterior door handles were fracturing from its housing. Two of the handles were previously replaced yet the failure continuously recurred. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 132,000.
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.
I am writing to advise a complaint regarding our 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz door handles.in april 2011, the outside drivers side door handle came partially unattached from the body of the vehicle.the handle came loose only on one side (the far left) leaving it attached from only the far right.the exact same thing happened to the drivers side rear passenger within the last week.that is 2 handles in 2 months.my 5 year old daughter pinched her finger in the unattached space while attempting to open the door.i have taken our vehicle to the dealer and they are charging $172 per handle for the repairs.vehicle is a 2007 with only 25,000 miles.
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and am experiencing the interior door handle problem that so many others have.the chrome-like plating is peeling and is razor sharp.the passenger side cut my husband's finger.he said it was very painful and it bled for a while - even started again a day later.the driver's side is doing the same thing, but i have not cut myself- yet.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the contact stated that the door handles were faulty and would constantly fracture.the dealer made two attempts to duplicate the failure but could not. However, the handles continued to fracture sporadically.the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.the current mileage was approximately 37,000 andthe approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
Interior door handles on 2007 chevy tahoe are sharp to the touch and we have received several cuts.
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.
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!!!!
Outer door handles frequently break.lack of reliable primary safety entry to small children in rear car seats posses major safety issue.

I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and both the driver and passenger interior door handles have began to peel and are very sharp.my wife and myself are very careful when we open or close the doors so as to not cut ourselves, but my 2 year old son was in the front seat while i was cleaning the inside of the car and cut his hand on the door handles.it wasn't bad enough to need stitches but believe this is a defect that gm should replace for free, to prevent worse cuts from happening.
Outer door handles frequently break sometimes coming off completely.these handles provide best emergency access to small children in rear child safety seats.lack of reliable access posses significant safety risk.
My child attempted to open rear door on my 2007 chevy tahoe ltz. One side of the handle broke, thus pulling one side away from the door and pinching her hand somehow! this is the 2nd handle to break on this vehicle. I personally went to open my passenger side door and it broke right off! what if we were in a crash and needed to be pulled out and the door handles break off?!? very dangerous! upon investigating this defect i have learned this is not an uncommon incident! see following link http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-tahoe/trfog7j2eokh998g2i hope we can see a recall out of this!
The metal plating on the interior door handle of my 2007 chevy tahoe is peeling off and i have cut my finger, twice, while opening the door.
2007 chevrolet tahoe has faulty chrome door handlesowned the suv for a little over a year.all 4 have been replaced but with the same faulty handles. Recently the drivers handle broke again.this time my husband had to tie and hold the door closed to get to the dealershipthey wanted us to pay for the last 2 b/c it's out of warranty.they said it's a one time comp.the next time we will have to pay.dealership says they have nothing but problems with the chrome handles.they need to be recalled and replaced with a new design.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states after driving on the highway for 15 minutes or so the tire low pressure indicator light on the instrument panel came on *tgwthe consumer stated before he took the vehicle to the dealer, the air was checked several times, with no indication of a problem.the consumer then took the vehicle to the dealer, where they replaced the sensor in the right rear tire. However, the problem continued. The consumer went to another dealer, where they ran a test and found no problem. After filing a complaint, the consumer went back to the second dealer where they found a lock problem. They replaced and reprogrammed the rcdlr.the consumer stated the problem is ongoing. Also, the doors locked on their own on a number of occasions.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the front driver and passenger side exterior door handles would not release to allow access into the vehicle. The contact had to enter the vehicle through the rear driver side door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where both door handles were replaced. Most recently, the similar failure recurred with both rear exterior door handles. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz door handles have been replaced at least once and now going on to the second set. These are poorly made exterior door handles.
Chrome on the interior door handles peels and gets very sharp. Had replaced in either july or august of 08 under warranty. Its now february and already they are starting to peel again. Exterior moldings on the windows were popping up everytime i rolled up/down the windows or at higher speeds, they were also replaced.
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.
Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall hvac, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving.

I was driving down the road and i lost all power and all my lights came on on my dash i just about got hit from behind
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.
Transmission 3 to 4 gear pack went out.
I have been dealing with the same problem as the previous complaint...ironically, my vehicle was manufactured in tx too, but, i purchased it used in va in 2011 odometer-73,625. To date, i only have 101,225- i started having constant stabilitrack/traction control issues right after 100,000- caused steering wheel to lock up and loss of power in addition to door locks suddenly locking/unlocking, car alarm going off, and hazard blinkers not working (all while in the middle of rush hour traffic)! after this constant issue was "repaired"-for 6th time, a few months later, i experienced a different problem. After waiting at a stop light, the vehicle would not accelerate-i had to push gas all the way to the floor, barely reaching 20mph, then, the car started shaking & to make matters worse, the brakes were barely working. Thankfully, i was near a parking lot & was able to pull over. This time i think it is a bcm or pcs issue. It seems the "flex-fuel" 4wd 2007 tahoes are having major issues. This should be constitute under lemon law. I am too scared to drive now-the car has been sitting in my driveway for a long time, yet i have to pay insurance & registration. I'm sick of wasting money as well. Please help us (2007 tahoe owners), fix these issues! thank you.
The number 1 cylinder keeps fouling out spark plugs. I have changed plugs, wires, and the coil pack. This fixes the problem for about 5 miles. It runs poorly, low idle, the stability trac comes on and says it is malfunctioning and needs to be serviced
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 done due to an open ticket with gmc regarding the acceleration issue.chevrolet has downloaded images/information from the vdr and has stated that there is/are issues and reset and returned the vdr to me requesting again that i take more images when my vehicle is stuck in acceleration and to be careful.initial attempt for this repair in september noted "drivable concern."problem is recurring from 0-9 incidents each day. I am concerned for the safety of others as well as myself.
Continuation of same problem after eight (8) documented repairs by chevrolet motor division. This last incident resulted in a non-0injury collision, where my vehicle sustained damage.see previous complaint: odi 10253010vehicle maintains and increases in acceleration with no application to the gas pedal.chevrolet motor divisions attempts/"repairs":cropper's nogales in:09/18/2008 30940 out: 09/25/2008n/a-7 daysreplaced accelerator pedal - - - - - - - - - - people's chevroletin: 09/29/2008 31829out:09/30/2008 31838-1 dayreplaced ecm & pcm/vcm reprogrammed ecm- - - - - - - - - - people's chevroletin:10/03/2008 na out:10/03/2008 na-1 dayinstalled vehicle data recorder (vdr) in vehicle- - - - - - - - - - people's chevroletin:12/13/2008 na out:12/13/2008 na-1 dayvdr contained four (4) data recordings of transmission data.

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.
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.
1. Lift gate failed and hurt my arm on or about jan 1 2014. I need repaired asap!2. Dashboard crackedabove steering column and cracked by air bag passenger side. I need repaired asap. Gm refused to acknowledge thousands of consumers having the same effects to their dashboard.3. Timing chain went off time and bent a cylinder which caused serious damage 9/2014 cost of damages at approximate 4500.00 gm refused to acknowledge deficiencies. I paid out of pocket the 4500.00 with no assistance. Ialso paid 250.00 for estimates at the gm dealer in kingston mass. They refused to help and give assistance on any of these 3 major safety problems after submitting the dealer bona fide report.
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
I have 3 issues . Low power which read a lot of people have the same issue (bad torque converter).bad oil loss. Which everyone seems to have .which the won't fix . Transmission slipping which everyone is having and is not the transmission it's electrical.i was told to send a complaint in to you guys. I have read alot on this car and these are very common problems with the 07 tahoe and i have all 3.
My issues started almost two years ago when dropping my child off at daycare. I was on the highway and noticed a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. At first i was not sure what it was until i pulled in the daycare and it was evident something was wrong. At that point the stablitrak and traction control light started flashing. I had to have the vehicle towed because i tried to move it and when i put it in gear it jerked so hard i was scared the engine blew. I took it to the certified chevy mechanic, cylinder 6 misfire. We replaced the plugs, coil packs etc, trying to see what the issue could be.he finally replaced all 16 lifters, cam, head gaskets and oil pump as well. Once he got it together, it was still a misfire on cylinder 6. He took it apart to look at the pistons, they were fine. The top of the motor he practically everything brand new on it. The chevy dealership are aware of the lifter issues with this vehicle and blatantly told me, i need a new engine or could purchase a new vehicle. Still no resolve as of june 23, 2020! please issue a recall on this as so many of these vehicles have this issue and it's not fair to us that they designed the engine so poorly.
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. Iresearched 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! ido 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 my services regularly. I just purchased fluid from our gm dealer and had a complete trans flush at 100k miles like recommended by gm.it has been a problem since 2008 and vehicles affected by this causing a tsb release were not due for trans service yet! it is evident that this problem is not due to lack of maintenance but from poor quality parts that gm claims are built to last! junk!
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.
Sometimes the stable track system comes on and goes off causing the transmission and carter jerk and steer poorly too many complaints about this needs to be taken care of
My 2007 tahoe all of the sudden started shaking and bucking while driving with my wife and two small kids (on valentines! wife was not happy).the service engine light came on as well as warning messages saying the traction control failed, check brake system and service stabilink system.it limped to our house and then it stalled and eventually was very hard to start.i took it to the dealership next morning and was told that the #6 lifter collapsed and they needed to check the camshaft to see if that was damaged.i'm still waiting on the call to see what the total damage is but i was told it was the active fuel management system.i also saw a lot of people's complaints online of the same thing.gm needs to own up and recall this issue.the estimate i got was around $3,500-$4,500 to repair this.
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 because of the excessive smoke coming from the tailpipes.
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.
Transmission is not shifting and i see that tens of thousands of people are with the same problem on the particularly suv2007 chevy tahoe this transmission should be a recall or at least fix it with a low price of less than $500 so we can keep buying these trucks
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.
2007 tahoe with a malfunctioning transmission customer states that the car just stopped in the middle of traffic just after 20 thousand miles than at 23 thousand miles the left front hub bearing loose**cc the consumer provided aninvoice for repairs. The dealer stated grinding noise from front end, dealer replaced left front hub bearing assembly.
Rear end went out at 150k. Dash cracked near passenger airbagradio don't work if it's raining
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While parked, the contact was unable to place the gear shifter into drive. The contact was only able to place the vehicle in reverse. Previously, the contact noticed that while accelerating, the rpm reading would increase dramatically. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
After approximately 3 weeks after purchasing i notice a noise and a delay in gear shifts so i took it to the dealership and they had their mechanic look at it and came up with the transmission was bad so they ordered one and tried to install it and when i went to pick it up and drove it several days the same problem was there so i took it back and they continued to try and fix it two other times within 3 months now saying i went over my 10,000 miles so i need to pay for the transmission. I drive the car maybe 5 months and the other months it has been in the shop.
I was driving in the snow going 5mph and the tires began to spin. The car was in automatic for 4 wheel drive but did not kick into 4 wheel drive so i slid off the road. I was off road on a slight incline and the car wouldnt go into 4 wheel drive. It said service 4 wheel drive and the knob will turn but the 4 wheel drive will not activate. Nothing happened other than the car not going to 4 wheel drive when the knob has been turned.
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 $1,435.49. I can only wonder how dangerous it was driving around in 4 wheel drive with a differential that was ready to catastrophically fail?
My 2007 tahoe sputtered and hesitated as i approached a stop sign. As i stopped stability control / traction control dashlights appeared as well as the check engine , they both blinked and dash read service stabilitrak, and service traction control. As i pulled from stop sign the tranny slammed into 2nd gear with a bang and i was barely accelerating pulled over and shut the car off. When i tried to restart it just turned over. It took a few tries to get it to start, and when it did i smelled a strong smell of unburned fuel from the exhaust. I will contact gm to file complaint as my tahoe has only 97k on it. Hopefully it's covered by warranty.
Truck rolls back when on incline even while in park, and it does not stop, i also noted truck would not go into v$ mode and was shifting a little rough in lower gears. July of 2008 took to bob stall chevrolet for oil change and asked for it to be checked (as well as power system) returned to pick up myvehicle and they insisted tranny was fine as there were no error codes. I mentioned power issue and they claimed to not have time to test (they had the truck all day, it was also not on the roll)unsatisfied i returned again with the truck for another issue (moldings) and asked for it to be tested. Received my truck at end of day with moldings fixed but only an assurance my transmission was fine and all was normal, not even mention off battery problem.i returned then a third time to dealer and had to insist they drive the truck and full test transmission. After having my truck a full day i finally was informed that yes my tranny had a problem. Their tranny tech drove it and noted the problem in lower gears and after inspection (opened up transmission) discovered burnt bands.my transmission was rebuilt with 2 clutch packs replaced. Issue of roll back was claimed to be normal. It took several attempts for this issue to be taken care of and i feel the diversion wa sintentional.. A few more miles.. Out of warranty.. Poof they would have kindly discovered problem then charged me for it. I have also heard of several others with transmission issues and suspect a design or assembly flaw.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states several issues with vehicle and request information on recalls, service bulletins, warranties or lemon law *tgwthe consumer stated the cruise control down shifted to 2nd while driving at highway speeds and on hills, the starter would hang, there was a noise coming from the ac compressor. The transmission was replaced. However, it continued to hesitate after the vehicle was started, as well as a vibration. There was a clicking noise coming from the differential, the idle needle would rise, while at a stop, the battery drained, the engine stalled, the dash was cracked, there was a problem with the suspension, the tire pressure monitoring system was repaired three times, the passenger side mirror was inoperable, the weather strip had come off the vehicle and there was a clicking noise coming from the u-joint.
I was at a stop light, and the problem happened unexpectedly when i pressed on the gas when the light turned green. My car moved forward just slightly, jerked hard to a complete stop, and it wouldn't drive anymore. I was able to get pushed to the side in neutral, but needed a tow to the dealer. The only working gears were r, 3, 2, and 1. Bringing it into the dealer, they confirmed there was a problem with the transmission. I had done some research when this happened and noticed that a lot of people had the same problem, all in the same type of scenario where they were at a complete stop. Second issue, not nearly as major is the stabilitrak. The light goes on and off constantly, pretty much from the first year i've had the car. And lastly, the interior chrome door handles have all peeled off and cut me and my passengers several times. The exterior door handles have come loose, the fuel pocket is completely broken, and after a heavy rain, water gets trapped inside the shell of the back door and sloshes around while i'm driving. I have to remove the bottom lining of the door for the trapped water to be released.
My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in november 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First i was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be deadly. In reviewing comments in the chevroletforum.com many consumers are having the same issues with the same results (a guessing game) why isn't this a recall?
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.
2007 tahoe.intermediate steering shaft clunk noise.this noise is a nuisance and doesn't feel safe when driving the vehicle.the problem happens intermediately so it is very difficult to diagnose.gm needs to recall this problem and replace the shaft instead of doing temporary grease jobs.
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.
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.
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.
Transmission drive gears went out would move only in reverse.
Truck rolls back when on incline even while in park, and it does not stop, i also noted truck would not go into v$ mode and was shifting a little rough in lower gears. July of 2008 took to bob stall chevrolet for oil change and asked for it to be checked (as well as power system) returned to pick up myvehicle and they insisted tranny was fine as there were no error codes. I mentioned power issue and they claimed to not have time to test (they had the truck all day, it was also not on the roll)unsatisfied i returned again with the truck for another issue (moldings) and asked for it to be tested. Received my truck at end of day with moldings fixed but only an assurance my transmission was fine and all was normal, not even mention off battery problem.i returned then a third time to dealer and had to insist they drive the truck and full test transmission. After having my truck a full day i finally was informed that yes my tranny had a problem. Their tranny tech drove it and noted the problem in lower gears and after inspection (opened up transmission) discovered burnt bands.my transmission was rebuilt with 2 clutch packs replaced. Issue of roll back was claimed to be normal. It took several attempts for this issue to be taken care of and i feel the diversion wa sintentional.. A few more miles.. Out of warranty.. Poof they would have kindly discovered problem then charged me for it. I have also heard of several others with transmission issues and suspect a design or assembly flaw.
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.
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.
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 had to pay for a rental with my own money.after picking my truck up from being repaired i was once again stranded along i-95 with my children 2 hours later.as of today my truck is still waiting to be hauled into chevrolet.
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.

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. Updated 10/10/07
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.
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.

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!
The passenger seatbelt latch will not catch.
On thursday may 19th at 8:35 pm, while i was driving home on i-696w when my driver's seatbelt belt disengaged and retracted on its own.while driving, i immediately try to reconnect the belt into the buckle, but it would not go in.i made several attempts to reconnect.i finally was able to get it into the buckle.when i arrived home in my garage and preceded to get out, the seatbelt would not come out.i had to struggle and pull on the seatbelt several times while trying to push the buckle release button.after 10 minutes, i was free.the next morning (5/20/16) while going to work, the seatbelt came out again.it would go in and if i moved forward, the belt would disengage.my seatbelt continued to slip out of the buckle.as of may 23rd, my seatbelt will not even go into the buckle.i cannot engage the driver's seatbelt at all!!these seatbelts should not be defective and should last the vehicle life.
Driver's seat belt does not lock into the receptive device. 2nd row seat belt "tore" when pulled to fasten. Electrical issue causing speaker and microphone to become inaudible therefore preventing communication with onstar in the event of a crash, nor alerting driver of vehicle standard safety alerts (low gas, open door indicator, tire pressure indicator, etc.).
Our 2007 chevy tahoe was parked/stationary, engine on, car in park with emergency brake on, and parked on a dirt driveway.i got into the driver side and shut the driver side door when the side curtain airbags in the front row, second row, and third row on both the driver and passenger side deployed.the seat belts for the driver and front seat passenger locked up and are unable to unlock and are not usable.
My drivers seat belt will only latch once in a while.it does not matter if it is running or not nor does it matter weather it is moving or not.
After buckling the safety belt on the drivers side , my wife and i tug on the latch several times to make sure it is engaged. While driving the seatbelt latch will become disengaged by its self. This has happened on many occasions and seams to increase in frequency while driving on a bumpy road. I called the 800-630-2438 for chevy recalls but the man in the philippians did not act like he was interested in what i had to say. He did give me a case number of 8-2177870626. I did tell him that i would be filing a safety report.i would guess the manufacture used cheep plastic parts where a sturdy metal part should have been used. With this latch opening while driving then how is it going to protect the occupants during an accident?
The driver seat belt unlocks while driving and sometimes takes several tries to latch.doesn't matter what type of road or driving this happens daily.
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.
"takata recall" airbag light is on. My 07 chevy tahoe burns 1 quart of oil every 1000-1500 miles? dealer told me this is "normal"?????? it is not normal for any vehicle to burn this much oil in such little time!! chevy won't correct these problems! there are thousands of people with same troubles. Yet still no recall?????
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.
I was traveling on a state highway to an event.this was the second day of the event, so i had traveled the same road the day prior.i slowed to cross railroad tracks.while crossing the tracks, the front and middle side airbags deployed on both the driver's and passenger's sides.the force of the deployment also cracked areas around the interior walls and blew out the rear overhead light.i am not sure exactly what, but something struck me on the top of my head at the time of the deployment.fortunately, i had slowed to cross the tracks or there could have been a different outcome.
Driver seat belt not locking
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the front driver side seat belt retractor jammed when the contact attempted to place on the belt.the failure existed until the vehicle was driven 50 miles.also, when attempting to lean forward, the belt would jam.the failure occurred intermittently.the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure.the current mileage is 10,500 and failure mileage was 5,000.the consumer stated when riding over a bump the belt would release. The consumer stated showed the defect to the dealer and seatbelt was replaced. Updated 09/05/07
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.

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.
Stabilitrack light comes on and truck operates brakes and steering without my input. Engine has loss of power and runs rough.
I was driving and the engine light the traction light and the tire monitor system light lit up then the sign said engine power reduce and then the car engine started shaking really bad.
Bad engine cuts off while driving. Burn excessive oil and water. Motor makes loud noises. Brakes have to be changed every 2 months. Grinding noises when you take your feet of the gas , sounds like a 18 wheeler breaking down to stop. Now the engine won't turn over. Replaced sensors and timing but still not cranking.so now it needs a motor. Dashboard is cracked up so bad you can see inside to airbag. Which sometimes gets extremely hot.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving various speeds, the vehicle accelerated independently when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the cylinders, valves, hoses, calipers, pads, and brake fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,744. Updated 03/24/15*lj updated 10/15/15
Peeling interior paint - two of the four doorhandles paint is peeling causing sharp and jagged edges resulting in cut fingers.brakes - all brakes and rotors bad at 39,000 miles and had to be replaced.way too early!now the brakes squeal all the time, are soft and had to be flushed 2 times within 6 months of each other.windows - continuing issues with the windows screeching when going up and down.attempted to fix three times and just keeps repeating.is starting to scuff/scratch the glass and leave oil streaks. Was told this is normal.rear liftgate (manual) - struts freeze every winter so that the tailgate does not go up all the way.have hit head on this numerous times.been replaced 3 times and counting.

The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that there was a progressive power steering failure that occurred without warning. The suspension was also unstable in the rear associated with the rear wheels. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they replaced the 4-wheel driver module, which did not remedy the failure. While traveling approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel locked without warning and the wheels in the rear locked. The contact applied force to correct the failure, but the steering wheel and the rear wheels locked. The vehicle veered to the left and crashed into a 1996 gmc sierra 3500. The front air bags and side air bags deployed with force. The driver sustained major injuries to the right arm and the left leg as well as extensive abrasions. The driver had to receive medical attention. A police report was filed.the vehicle was towed to a wrecking yard and then to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not inspected by the insurance adjustor to determine the extent of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the contact stated that the vehicle sways abnormally while towing.the dealer adjusted the joint/ball position, but the failure recurred immediately after the repair.the failure still persists.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 20,000 and current mileage was 27,000.
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.
I reported to chevrolet that my tahoe was making a clunking sound when turning the steering wheel. I also informed them that i had gone to a local service shop to have three wheel alignments as the tires were feathering (inner wear of the tire). Date are 05/31/2008 wheels replaced(2) and alignment done. 07/15/2009 2 wheels replaced. 11/05/2009 alignment done, 01/25/2010 alignment done. Dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty intermediate drive shaft after a week long inspection. Shaft was replaced at dealer on 02/2010. Service advisor states that the intermediate steering shaft has nothing to do with the tire wear.
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 vehicle have several severe cracks in the dashboard from poor quality materials. This defect is causing concern 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.
Myself and a friend were driving on the i75 to cincinnatti, ohioand my truck was fine, no issues, no problems, and all of the sudden halfway therethere 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.
Stabilitrack light comes on and truck operates brakes and steering without my input. Engine has loss of power and runs rough.
As i was driving down the interstate at acontrolled speed of 70mph i suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. As this happened i felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. This is now happening every day i drive to work or anywhere i drive over 55mph. I have a 4 month old son and i am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. I have read that service centers can not fix this.

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.
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.
Dash cracked on left side of steering wheel hump.a few months later the dash cracked on the upper left side of passenger air bag.
There are two cracks in my dashboard around the airbag areas.this should never happen!wondering if it will affect my airbags from working properly.
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.
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.
Dash is brittle and cracked around airbag, might cause a price to be broke off and projected into my wife or kids face causing death.
The dashboard on the passenger side around the air bag has cracked significantly and the area on either side of the air bag cover are bowing up. It appears that where is a significant risk of the dashboard fragmenting if the air bag were to be deployed.
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.
Dashboard cracked at left corner of airbag as well as cracking above the left side of the instrument panel. The crack over the airbag concerns me in that my airbag may not deploy correctly in the event of an accident or may cause significant harm from chards of plastic.
Upon inspection of the dashboard it has cracked both above the steering wheel on the left side and at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side.i am concerned that if this cracks any worse the airbag may deploy and injure a passenger or it may cause the steering column to malfunction if the dashboard falls.chevy should be recalling this so that no one is injured.

Interior chrome door handles on 2007 chevrolet tahoe pealing/flaking creating sharp edges that are capable of inflicting harm/injury to passengers.
The dashboardhas two cracks one over the steering wheeland one over the passenger side air bag. I also have the light on and off saying (air bag service required) and the cruise control n has not been working neither for like 2 yearsall.it is a safety issue and concern when i travel with my family and this issue should be addressed immediately. Thank you [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Two cracks located on the dash. One is located on the left hand side of the driver side "hump" and the other is located on the left hand side of the passenger side airbag and connects from the airbag to the vent.i am concerned that these will effect airbag deployment if a crash occurs.i have read multiple complaints of the same nature on the 2007 chevrolet tahoes.
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.
Car has not been in an accident.just concerns like so many other gm customers.there is a crack that is at the airbag, on the passenger side, that keeps getting bigger.concerned that airbag might deploy, or not work at all.have contacted gm corporate several times telling them about the same issue that other customers are having in this same area. When contacting gm they tell me that they have not heard of this issue, but there are so many customers that have complain online. I was told to take my vehicle to the dealership for further inspection and was told that this could have happen by using armorall, in that case the whole console would be cracked and not in certain places where all other customers are seeing the same exact cracks. Actually the entire console is affected with several cracks.if gm was not aware, how come some of their customers consoles have been changed out by the dealership? more than once.they tell me because of the model and the mileage of my vehicle it would not qualify.this is a material issue plus a safety issue if it affects the stability of an airbag. There are even videos on u tube that shows a visual picture.
I have had the dash crack in 4 different places; two on the driver side on each side of the steering column and two other around the airbag.the two around the airbag have made it so that there is free piece of plastic that is not secured by anything.i am afraid that if the air bag was to deploy then this piece would cause great bodily harm to anyone in the vehicle.the manufacturer knows of this issue and is not offering to replace the dash without some sort of compensation.
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.
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!!!
The door handle detaches from the door! i have had this happen 3 times now!it costs $170 to repair and it continues to happen.i believe this is a flaw with the vehicle which should be repaired at no cost by the manufacturer.
Takata recall on my airbags but the dealer keeps saying they will contact me to fix it because the parts haven't been approved. I don't want to be a fatality over red tape from the manufacturers. My vin # is [xxx]. I need help. The dashboard is cracking and it s just a matter of time before the airbags deploy.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My dash cracked, on it's own. I'm sure this has to effect my airbag functionality. I have a huge crack on my driver's side behind the steering wheel.
Dash board cracked driver side.
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.
Dashboard has spontaneously started to crack in several spots. Sharp edges may cause injury in the event of a crash.
Dashboard cracked due to heat. On going problem with these vehicles first they crack on driver side and then passenger side. Worried about the air bag deploying.
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.
The dash board has a crack right next to the air bag also above the gauges. My worry is if the air bag goes off the plastic from the dash will pop up and put a hole in the air bag. Which will then deflate and no serve its purpose. Or that part of the dash board will break off from the impact of the air bag and will hurt someone in the vehicle. Please contact. Me for photos it is saying they are too large to upload. Thank you
I have had this vehicle just over 30 days and the dash was fine when i purchased it.i started my vehicle the next morning and when i went out the dash was cracked.it has since gotten 10x worse than that and has actually gotten the point where pieces are missing from the dash.
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). Updated 01/29/14
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.
Dashboard cracks with sharp edges around airbag causing noisy airbag area vibration and separation form dashboard, it is scary thing to have when my wife or one of the kids in the vehicle with me.
2007 chevy tahoe.dashboard cracked around airbags.concerned that air bags may not for properly operate if needed.gm rufuses to anything about.i see this is a big problem among tahoe owners per customer blogs.
My dashboard cracked and i'm concerned about my airbags. I guess a lot of the chevy tahoes have had issues with the dashboard cracking.
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.
Dash is extremely cracked in three plates including by airbag this is a safety issue.
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.
My dash has cracked in 2 spots, it is obvious this is a manufacturer defect. My biggest concern is that the one crack that leads to the air bag cover...that could potentially open hitting my son in the face causing bodily harm.when i spoke to the dealership (bryan chevrolet) for replacement...i was informed that this was a common problem and would not be covered by my warranty. However, if i wanted replaced it would be expensive ($1000.00). Bottom line, i got nowhere with them, now that one crack has grown to two cracks...and the other crack is on the left corner of the dash above the instrument cluster. I find it appalling that so many complaints have been lodged on various websites and still gm refuses to acknowledge and much less replace all these defective dashboards. I agree that there should be a class action law suit filed to make all affected parties whole in a retroactive manner. The gross amount of complaints clearly indicate that his not a frivolous complaint and gm should be held accountable.
Dash around airbags is cracking and failing. It's a very common problem and gm refuses to rectify.conceivably a piece of dash could break off during an airbag deployment.
Dashboard cracked at left corner of airbag as well as cracking above the left side of the instrument panel. The crack over the airbag is what concerns me in that my airbag may not deploy correctly in the event of an accident or may cause significant harm from chards of plastic being sent at me...
I received about a 1 inch cut/gash on the palm of my hand due to peeling 'chrome' on the interior drivers door handle of a 2007 chevy tahoe that i purchased less than a month ago.the 'chrome' is peeling on at least two of the 4 interior door handles.i have searched numerous sites, and noticed multiple complaints, but there has been no recall issued.
Dashboard is cracked on both driver and passenger side near airbags. My fear is that due to that the airbags wont function properly.
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.
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.
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.
The chrome plating on the interior door handles has peeled and caused small cuts to my fingers. Checked with dealer and of coarse they are not aware of any other problems like this.
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.
About couple months ago we notice about an 8 inch long crack on the dashboard above the cluster driver side. And i first thought it had to be sun damage. So pretty bum about it. Then recently about a week ago watching the local news on tv. There was a similar issue about crack dashboards. And then checking on this website there's multiple very identical issues. So now in hope there's a recall coming soon. And also notice the inside door handles the chrome is coming apart leaving really sharp edges. So i notice there's similar complaints in regards to this door handles.
Noticed a crack on the dash board right above the gauge cluster. Have a family member with the same vehicle and saw that their vehicles dash was full of cracks and decided to research the issue. I found blogs and videos through out the internet of people all around with the same problem. My main concern is that i have also found that the next crack in the dash i will see will be on the corner of the dash at the passenger air bag. I'm afraid this could affect the proper deployment of the air bag.
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=3ikscklf7g8please 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/searchvehiclesalso 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.
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
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe has multiple cracks in the dashboard above the instrument panel and airbag. This is a very serious safety issue with pieces braking off if the airbags were to go off in a accident.
Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall hvac, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving.
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.
Dash has split straight through where the passenger side airbag is installed.
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.if passenger airbag deploys, the plastic dash will explode into pieces.dash has yet to be fixed.
Dashboard has cracked. 2 large cracks go across dash.
This is the second time that the dashboard cracked. I boought the tahoe in 04/13/2010 and had 25,967 miles in june 7, 2011 after paying $350.00 for labor the dealer replaced the dashboardand now a year and four months it is cracked again and i spoke with a services person at the dealer and they told me it is been a year and there is not coverage for. I'm very upset i just can't believe that it only lasted a year so if i spent my money fixing this again how long will it take till it brakes again.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states several issues with vehicle and request information on recalls, service bulletins, warranties or lemon law *tgwthe consumer stated the cruise control down shifted to 2nd while driving at highway speeds and on hills, the starter would hang, there was a noise coming from the ac compressor.

Door handles keep breaking off .
The dash board is cracked in multiple areas.
Dash has multiple cracks around the airbag on the passenger side and one crack in dash above the instrument cluster.
The dashboard has been cracking and continues to including portions near and around the airbags.
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.
The dash has two cracks around the airbag housing and three other cracks (2 over 5" long). Concern is mainly at airbag location as i am not sure if this affects the stability of the airbag, if the airbag will perform properly in a collision, or if the plastic pieces will become projectiles in the event of airbag deployment.
The chrome plating on the interior door handles peel and create sharp edges that cut and draw blood.
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 airbagto 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.
My dash is cracking in two places above my airbags. The cracks are causing my dash to bulge. It has been brought to my attention that numerous 2007 tahoe's and yukon's all have dash cracks in the same areas. I have contacted gm about this problem and have not received any help. I am worried it will affect my airbags deploying.
I was on r&r leave from the middle east from 26 oct 2011 thru 09 nov. On the 2nd of november i attempted to open my driver side door and the pealing chrome on the door handle slit through my middle finger. The pealing is razor sharp and left a one inch cut in the center ofmy finger. I had to place tape over the door handle to prevent being cut again. Who can i contact about this hazard. I am active duty army and i am out of the country quite a bit so if there is a recall on this i need to know. I am the first andonly owner of my tahoe.
Chrome is separating from the left front inside door handle.as a result, the chrome is jagged and i have cut my hand numerous time.i heard that this was a common problem with this model.2007 chevrolet tahoe lt.
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.xhtmlhttp://repairpal.com/the-upper-dash-may-crack-143.
Chrome on the interior door handles peels and gets very sharp. Had replaced in either july or august of 08 under warranty. Its now february and already they are starting to peel again. Exterior moldings on the windows were popping up everytime i rolled up/down the windows or at higher speeds, they were also replaced.
Dash cracked at corner of where the passenger air bag is located, and just recently the dash has cracked above the instrument panel. My fear is that in the event that the air bags are deployed the air bag itselfmight be punctured or bodily injury caused due to shards of plastic being projected into the air.i have owned numerous vehicles and have never had a dash to crack (i have lived in texas my entire life) can't blame it on the texas heat or use of armour all type cleaners. This is obviously a defective part.my suv is in pristine condition except for the dash cracks.
2007 chevrolet tahoe lt3dashboard cracked.cracked while driving on highway.-1 crack 10" long directly in front on steering wheel running from defrost vent towards driver.-3 cracks 6-8" long radiating outward from passenger side airbag towards center of dash and windshield.i'm afraid that if the tahoe is involved in a collision and the front airbags deploy, pieces of the dash will become detached, injuring the occupants.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 was told by a gm representative, if i was concerned for my safety, i should replace the dashboard in the tahoe at my own expense.many other individuals have posted photos/descriptions of the same issue with their 2007 tahoe/yukon on the internet.
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.
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?
I own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The chrome is peeling from the interior door handles. The chrome is thick and i have cut my fingers while opening the door. The dealership reported they would not replace the items because of mileage, but it had been a common complaint for the 2007 model tahoe.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the contact stated that the passenger side dashboard developed multiple cracks extending from the corner where the air bag was positioned. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000.
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.
The dash cracked on the passenger side above the airbag. After researching i found that this is a common problem with these vehicle.
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.
The dashboard is cracked in the top left corner of the passenger airbag.
Passenger side dash cracked adjacent to airbag, very concerned about integrity of airbag system and possible safety issue.
There is a crack at the passenger side airbag that appears to be unsafe in head on collision. If you reference chevrolet forums-tahoe website you will see 45 pages of failures and gm is very selective on whom they will replace or deny.
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.
Dashboard has cracked on the passenger side corner above the airbag. Dash has not been subjected to stress / pressure. It appears to be a manufacturer defect as this has happened to many individuals online. I fear that this crack will expand and can potentially affect the passenger airbag itself. As this vehicle is a '07 model, it should not crack after less than 5 years normal wear and tear.
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.
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and the dash is cracked from one end to the other and is starting to crack on the side by the radio.i feel the whole dash can fall in, but there has been no recall.i have a friend who has the same year tahoe and it is an ltz and he is having the same problem.
Noticed cracks in dashboard.1. Above instrument cluster approx.6 " vertical to driver , 2nd is at the upper left corner of passenger air bag. Safety concern is flying projectile (s) of dash plasticto driver and or passengers if air bag(s) are deployed.
Dash cracked where the passenger air bag is located. I fear that the air bags will puncture if deployed or the passenger will be injured due to dash pieces being projected at them.
There are 2 cracks in the dash.one crack is 2" long, near the passenger side airbag.the other crack is 7" long, driver side, "hump" above the instrument cluster.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 has the exact same problem with their tahoes and similar models. Please refer to this link for a visual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ikscklf7g8&list=fljga62lgteuqumon7fzvc0q&index=40please see facebook group below for more information and background as wellhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/251892298253/it would appear this is a manufacturing defect.the cracks are in the exact same location amongst 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.the cost to replace the dash is between $1,000-$1,500.
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 dashcracking 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 gmdealreship. The service department where the vehicle was inspected verified the cracks in the dash and they were very large.
The headliner in my new vehicle rattles and it also has some indication of damage near the passenger visor area which obviously occurred during factory (texas)install.
I have two cracks in my dashboard.one is huge over the drivers side control cluster and the second, i believe, poses a big safety concern.the second crack is at the corner of the passenger airbag.i'm concerned that the airbag will not deploy with this defect and if it does the sharp edges/shards of the dash will either injure the passenger and/or others in the car, or rip the airbag making it useless. Airbags are a legal requirement.i have been on many forums and pages regarding the chevy tahoe and there are hundreds of people with this very same problem.i really believe gm/chevy should order a recall.i also have a minor claim about the rubber on the steering wheel and the paint on the stereo/climate control buttons.all of which is peeling off.i have also see hundreds of writings about this problem. We have already had to replace the steering wheel and stereo/climate control. And the problem persisted on the new items.i paid way to much for the vehicle to be doing this.i also have no intentions of getting a new car; however, as they problem persist, especially the safety issues.i just may be forced to .
The dashboard cracked 4 inches on driver side hump next to airbag.

The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
There is a 10inch crack in the hump of the dash above my odometer.i have an 07 chevy tahoe with about 40k. I contacted a chevy dealer and they said it was not a chevy problem.
Cracked front dash on right side near air bag afraid that it could deploy prematurely.
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

Driver and passenger interior door handle chrome peeling, slices fingers.
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.
The right side of my dash at the pass. Air bag cracked about two inches well driving down i 95.
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.
The dash has major cracking around the airbag and on top of the dash in the area of the steering wheel. The first incident occurred in april 2010, had the dash replaced under warranty approximately sept/oct 2010. The second incident occurred in august 2012. Same cracks in dash around airbag. I can't help but wonder if these cracks compromise the airbag in any way. Or if the vehicle is involved in a collision will the dash pieces become airborne projectiles. Have spoken with gm and while they acknowledge that they have had issues with the dash cracking, they do not acknowledge a defect in the dash. A simple internet search provides several instances of these same cracks occurring in many 2007 chevrolet tahoes, avalanches, and 2007 gmc yukons. Yes, i could pay to have a new dash installed but it will be the same defective part that will crack again causing the same safety concerns.
Interior door handles on 2007 chevy tahoe are sharp to the touch and we have received several cuts.
I owe a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.i noticed in july of this year that there is a 2-3 inch crack on the top left corner of the dash on the passenger's side--right on top of where the air bag is!i took the vehicle to the dealer and they said "since it's not a safety issue" general motors said they will not replace the dash!how do they freaking know it's not a safety issue when it's on top of the air bag???and now there's another crack!this one is just to the left of the driver's side instrument panel on top of the dash!this crack is 6-7 inches long.i take super good care of my vehicles, sun shades, regular conditioning, etc. And since the vehicle is 4 years old, there is no reason (other than crappy workmanship and crappy materials and crappy engineering) to have not one but two cracks on a $50,000 vehicle!so i'm guessing when my air bag fails on my passenger side and when my daughter gets hurt in a wreck because the airbag doesn't properly deploy, then it will be a safety issue because i will be all over general motors.this is not an isolated incident.check the internet.hundreds of complaints of the same cracks happening.gm is aware of the problem and is choosing to do nothing about it.please look into this issue and help us get this problem resolved.
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.
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.
Takata recall. The dash above steering wheel has started to crack in the last year. Could this be due to the airbag?
Dashboard major cracking by airbag and by driver side.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that there were premature cracks and deterioration to the dashboard. The contact also heard an abnormal noise near the front of the vehicle in the air bag area. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The dealer and manufacturer had not yet been notified. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
My dash has cracked in 4 places. They continue to get worse over time. It is clear the cracks occurred in narrow, weak areas. 2 cracks in front of the instrument cluster and 2 cracks in the 1" area in front of the passenger airbag. With the dash fracturing around the airbag, i'm concerned about what might happen if the airbag were to deploy.
My dash keeps cracking around the passenger airbag.these cracks maycause pieces of the dash to become flying projectiles in the event of an accident where the passenger or side impact airbag deploys.this has been a problem for me since 2009.gm is refusing to rectify the problem.
The front drivers door handle snapped off, thenthe drivers side passenger snapped off about a month later.i paid to have them fixed at the dealership and now the 3rd door handle snapped off.the last one was the rear passenger side.
Dashboard is cracking apart on both driver and passenger side.parts of plastic are falling behind/under the dash down where the airbags are.i believe this is a safety concern as deploying airbags will most definitely cause parts of the dash to propel through the cab causing possible injury, or be punctured themselves upon deployment and prove useless.my tahoe is impeccably maintained and otherwise looks mostly new on the interior.very disturbed upon searching the internet to see how widespread the problem is and no fix/recall offered by gm.dealer quoted repair in excess of $1,000 to correct this very apparent manufacturer's defect. Was not in motion when first observed.worsens over time just sitting still.
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.

2007 chevy tahoe, dash has cracked in two places.one crack is in the left corner at the airbag (complete crack top to bottom).the second is at the left side over the steering wheel (within 1 inch being completely cracked from top to bottom).this is a defect in the materials not any incident that caused this to crack. There are hundreds of complaints and all dash cracks are basically in the same area.very much asafety hazard especially if a crash occurred.possibly could cause shattering of the dash pieces and cause injuries or possibly interfere with airbag deployment.
I do not feel safe driving my 2007 chevrolet tahoe as the front dashboard has split open and cracked in multiple places.they appear to be stress fractures, or weaknesses in the way the dashboard is manufactured.i have looked at the internet, and there are many others with the same issue, where their dashboards develop stress fractures and split open.the dashboard has two main problem areas; on the passenger side around the air bag opening, and then again over the "hump" that comes up and over the instrument cluster.this crack in particular is very bad, with these cracks splitting off in different directions.the dashboard is now very weak and has no structural integrity.i would not feel safe if this vehicle was in a crash, as the dashboard would provide no support to protect occupants, and the plastic parts of the dashboard would go flying throughout the cabin.chevrolet needs to take responsibility of this and replace the dashboard.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked above the passenger side air bag and above the speedometer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the repairs required were unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.

My tahoe still looks like a new vehicle and is paid for so i would like to continue to drive it but i am so concerned with the way the dash has cracked. It started about a year ago and is cracked in 4 different locations. In one spot you can lift the dash completely open. I have 6 grandchildren and do not like having to worry about structures in my vehicle potentially injuring them or anyone else that may get injured from an accident where the air bags may be deployed. You would think that the company would recall such a defect besides waiting for a lawsuit for possible injuries or death related to this issue!!!!the vehicle has been kept under a shed and doesn't get driven that often. The first cracks notice were when the car was stationary!!
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.
Dashboard is cracking in 2 or 3 places
Cracked dashboard even after one replacement
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.
2007 chevy tahoe with chrome exterior door handles. Passenger side handle broke off. Has significant opportunity to pinch fingers.driver's side door handle also loose. Was informed this is a common occurrence with this vehicle. If this is a known issue, it needs to be resolved!
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe lt was poorly made. The inside door handle is chipping and it sliced my two fingers open this morning. I think it should be recalled! also my door panel on the outside has been chipping because it is plastic. Come on the vehicles are expensive! use better products gm! i will never by another gm and i don't believe i should have to pay to fix there cheap decisions for this car.
Dash is cracked and is a safety issues
1. Takatarecall on our 2007 chevrolet tahoe(received letter from gm stating we would be notified when parts are available to remedy vehicle.2. Cracked dash -over the steering wheel driver side and through the airbag area on the passenger side( very hazardous if airbag deploys).
The door handles keep comingoff. I'm about to replace the 4th one.

My 2007 tahoe has a nice dashboard cover over it. Upon removal one day, inoticed that the dash was severely cracked. Large, sharp, and jagged pieces completely broke off. After research i found that this is due to a defect in the dashboard. Since the dashboard has never experienced an impact, it must be due to the heat like in the many other cases. However, i live in southern california on the coast so it is not particularly hot here. In the event of an accident these sharp pieces could severely injure a person or event puncture an air bag. In the course of regular use a person could be badly injured by these sharp pieces or the jagged sharp edges of the holes in the dashboard. I have contacted gm/chevy and they said that as of now there was nothing they could do to help me with the $1,000 repair, but they will look into it. Also, if they do help me they said it would be considered "goodwill" and in deciding whether to help me they will consider my loyalty and asked if i get my car regularly serviced at their dealerships. I cannot afford to pay the repair cost and i am afraid if i get in any accident that causes the airbags to deploy that the dashboard will further shatter into sharp pieces and puncture the airbags and/or injure my children and i. I also fear someone reaching up on the dash and injuring themselves. I have several gm cars with major defects that could be safety issues costing thousands to repair. Gm's denial of these potential safety hazards is just an attempt to avoid financial responsibility. Gm's negligence in dealing with safety hazards has cost loyal customers their lives recently. It is very disappointing.

I came out of my house and got in my truck (2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz) yesterday morning (1/15/2019). After i started my truck i heard strange noises, as if something was popping/cracking. I looked around inside my truck but didn't really notice anything because i was looking in the rear, left and right out the windows. I opened the sunroof cover & didn't notice anything, until i looked down and seen two separate cracks on top of my dashboard. One long crack about 3 or 4 inches long on top of my dashboard, overtop of my gauges and another crack on the passenger side by the airbag on top of the dashboard about 1 inch and a half long. I don't know how my dashboard can just crack on its own, but i do know that it was not there days before because i had my truck detailed inside/out after being fully painted. I checked online didn't see any recalls from gm for cracked dashboards on 2007 chevrolet tahoe's but i do see a lot of random complaints were numerous people had the same issue on various of gm trucks from 2007-2014.

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.
Cracked dash.
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.
I purchased my tahoe a little over a year ago, and it already had a cracked dash, but was minor. One small crack by the passenger airbag, and one in front of the steering wheel. Since then, it has progressively gotten worse. The crack near the airbag extends from the airbag panel to the edge of the dash where it joins to the front section of the dash. The driver side crack extends from the same edge, up towards the steering wheel, almost to the edge closest to the steering wheel. I purchased the vehicle in utah. It was owned by someone who lived in the northeast, then moved to utah, and then i moved to kentucky about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. The problem has started and continues despite the location, or the temperature. It seems to be getting worse due to not being supported from the underside.
Cracked dash

Cracked dash, potent hazard of plastic dash pieces becoming airborne shrapnel in the event of crash with air bags deploy. 2007 tahoe dash had small 6 inch crack at the 2 o clock position on drivers side instrument cluster and small 1 inch crack on right side of passenger side airbag. After 25 mph head on crash air bags didn't deploy but additional cracks have appeared. Now 10 x worst. Pics will show. Dealer doesn't want to replace nor insurance company.
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.
While i was getting my interior handles repaired since they have cracked, i was made aware that one of my door handles was falling off. The interior handles are covered under a recall but not the exterior handle. I was told by the dealer that it happens all the time on tahoes and a quick "google" search confirmed the issue. This problem should also be covered under a recall. I had to pay $160 to repair the handle.
Shortly after purchasing my vehicle the dash board cracked, today (6/27)a piece of my dashboard completely broke off while driving.

Sliced finger for the second time. After the first time i called the dealer he said he would call me back and never did. There needs to be a recall.
2 of the 4 door handles have broken off, they are chrome and expensive to repair.it becomes a safety issue when you can't afford to replace them and children's fingers go between the handle and body of the car.this is an issue that many owners have experienced with this specific automobile.

All 4 of my exterior door handles have come unattached on at least one end. This started before my warranty expired but continues to happen so i have to pay out of pocket. 2 that have been previously repaired by dealer have broken again. Dealer quotes $300+ to make this repair, absolutely ridiculous and should be covered by gm. Cant believe this has not been addressed yet as i am finding so many others with this exact problem.

I have two cracks, one located on the driver side dashboard and one on the passenger side above the airbag. Nothing has been done to produce such problem. I have also had to replace my heater core input valve. I have read that this has to do with the fact that the vehicle uses dex-cool. I am unsure of what to do with the fact that dex-cool has been found to eat away at hoses, o-rings, gaskets, and other parts of which dex-cool comes into contact with. I would also like to report that my oil pressure sending unit also needs to be replaced, it is no longer sending pressure readings to the dashboard. I have read that this is a very popular problem with many chevrolet vehicle.
I was at a stop light, and the problem happened unexpectedly when i pressed on the gas when the light turned green. My car moved forward just slightly, jerked hard to a complete stop, and it wouldn't drive anymore. I was able to get pushed to the side in neutral, but needed a tow to the dealer. The only working gears were r, 3, 2, and 1. Bringing it into the dealer, they confirmed there was a problem with the transmission. I had done some research when this happened and noticed that a lot of people had the same problem, all in the same type of scenario where they were at a complete stop. Second issue, not nearly as major is the stabilitrak. The light goes on and off constantly, pretty much from the first year i've had the car. And lastly, the interior chrome door handles have all peeled off and cut me and my passengers several times. The exterior door handles have come loose, the fuel pocket is completely broken, and after a heavy rain, water gets trapped inside the shell of the back door and sloshes around while i'm driving. I have to remove the bottom lining of the door for the trapped water to be released.
Both of my children have been cut several times on numerous occasions by the peeling of the chrome on the door handles in the back seats. The dash is cracking which i have seen this complaint on many many 2007 gm suv's. Would like to see something done about these problems since it happens to be a big complaint by many owners.
Passtakataair bag recall with no part availability and multiple cracks in my dash
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%.
Exterior door handle have broken on 4 separate occasions 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015. Replacement door handle also broke.
The exterior door handles come off.
My door handles are coming off!!i have the chrome style handles. I went to open the driver door to get in and ripped the handle right off the door almost fell back it came off so easily ... So i took it to the dealer who said 205.00 to fix it i'm holding off and now that i have been using the passenger door this one is now coming off!!the inside handles areflaking/ peeling and are really sharp as well it has cut me a few times. This is terrible and i shouldn't have to pay to replace handles on a door!! i've never had this prob w any other make this is my first gm and my first chevrolet and will prob be my last bc its made so cheaply i will reconsider if they recall this.

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.
My 2007 tahoe lt the is crackedin two places one at air bag that i feel if i was hit in that tahoe that when that airbag comes out the peices of the dash would hurt or kill my wife or kidseveryone i know their dash pads are the same way even the ones for sale on car lots are the same way i do know thatif not recall my gm if someone looses their life or kids life over the dash pads being a bad part by gm i just hope and pray that no one get hurt or kill if in a bad crash in these tahoes
Exterior door handles - front passenger door, both rear passenger doors. Bolt has broken on all 3 handlesand has pulled away from the body of the vehicle. This seems to be a common occurrence for all gm vehicles with these style of exterior door handles. Someone could fall and get injured will trying to open a door.

The dash has cracked behind the passenger side air bag for no apparent reason. I am afraid if the bag deploys it will throw the piece as a projectile and hit the passenger. Many complaints on the internet, gm is selectively assisting in repair. I was informed they would not help me because i have an aftermarket radio and alarm, neither of which is anywhere near the passenger side.

Bad engine cuts off while driving. Burn excessive oil and water. Motor makes loud noises. Brakes have to be changed every 2 months.

Two large cracks in the dashboard and now a 1' by 1.5" hole adjacent to the airbag. The dash is crumbling. This is not a result of load bearing or movement of the vehicle. It is brittle plastic.

So far, 3 of the 4 exterior door handles have broken for no apparent reason.these are cheaply made plastic, not designed to handle the force of simply opening a door.this car is otherwise in great condition, has very low mileage, and is usually only driven with one occupant.the passenger side doors have not been opened very often for a car with mileage in the low 40's.this would be dangerous to small children or people with thin fingers as it would be quite easy to get a finger caught between the broken door handle and the body of the car.the handles do not look broken.the act of opening the door causes the handle to pull away from the body of the door.a quick internet search reveals that this is a common problem with this vehicle.a dealer told me today that they replaced 8 handles for 1 customer.that's at a price between $250 and $300 per handle.i was going to begin looking for a new car today.if this is how chevrolet stands behind it's vehicles, they will not be included in my search.
1. Lift gate failed and hurt my arm on or about jan 1 2014. I need repaired asap!2. Dashboard crackedabove steering column and cracked by air bag passenger side. I need repaired asap. Gm refused to acknowledge thousands of consumers having the same effects to their dashboard.3. Timing chain went off time and bent a cylinder which caused serious damage 9/2014 cost of damages at approximate 4500.00 gm refused to acknowledge deficiencies. I paid out of pocket the 4500.00 with no assistance. Ialso paid 250.00 for estimates at the gm dealer in kingston mass. They refused to help and give assistance on any of these 3 major safety problems after submitting the dealer bona fide report.

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.
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe ltz with 60k miles on it now. My girlfriend normally rides with me and has cut her hand on several occasions now on my interior door handle that is peeling. It started with the front passenger side door handle, and now all 4 door handles are peeling on the car and the metal that is still on poses a serious cut risk. I went to the dealer and so far they told me they can replace the parts but at a cost and labor to me, not covering any portion. After researching this it seems to be a major problem with my type of car model and i feel like gm should deal with this crappy part and replace for free.
I have a 2007 tahoe and the dashboard is cracked in two places. One is above the stearing wheel and the other is above the glove box on the passenger side. Ive always used a windshield protector when parked outside and the truck is parked in my garage every night. This seems to be a serious problem with this make and model vehicle and chevrolet needs to correct it!

I was driving along and the speed control just stopped working.ireset 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.

I am afraid if the airbag deploys flying objects could injure me more. I just noticed that it's a common problem for chevy tahoes. Please help us tahoe owners. Thank you!
While cleaning the dashboard i heard a loud noise and noticed it had cracked in two places.one over the drivers side "hump" and the other at the air bag.it now has three cracks.
Multiple cracks in the dashboard
I am concerned about a manufacturing defect in the dash of tahoes.i have read numerous complaints online from other chevy tahoe owners of various years with same exact issue.the dash is cracking at the airbag locations. At what point does this become a safety issue?is it only after an injury or death occurs?there is already a recall on the taka airbag inflator but we remain on a "list" for repairs.any safety issue should not take that long to be repaired.the cracking in the dash at the locations of the airbags should also be taken seriously!
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.

Dashboard is cracked badly around instrument cluster and passanger side airbag door on top of dash.my car has had 2 different dashboard and they have both cracked in the exact sme spots.both dashboards cracked overnight will sitting in my driveway in the san francisco bay area.
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.
Cracked dash next to air bag compartment
My 2007 chevy tahoe developed cracks in the dashboard within the first 2 years i owned it.they started around 30,000 miles.i contacted the dealer at the time but was told that it wasn't covered under warranty since it was cosmetic damage.the cracks are much worse now and are on both the left and right sides including areas near the passenger airbag.i have never used cleaning products such as armor all and the vehicle has never been in an accident.cracks near the passenger could cause pieces of sharp plastic to break off and strike the passenger as a result of a collision.
Dashboard is cracked in three locations.1st and 2nd:over passenger side airbag from upper corners of the airbag to the air-vent panel3rd: approximately 8 inches along the top of the driver instrument panel to the air-vent panel.additional separation between panels is created during temperature changes or running the heater in cold weather. Have had two dealerships tell me it is a normal, known, and reoccurring problem with the body-style but offered to replace it for over $1,000.
Dashboard is cracked and falling apart
I am writing to advise a complaint regarding our 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz door handles.in april 2011, the outside drivers side door handle came partially unattached from the body of the vehicle.the handle came loose only on one side (the far left) leaving it attached from only the far right.the exact same thing happened to the drivers side rear passenger within the last week.that is 2 handles in 2 months.my 5 year old daughter pinched her finger in the unattached space while attempting to open the door.i have taken our vehicle to the dealer and they are charging $172 per handle for the repairs.vehicle is a 2007 with only 25,000 miles.
The interior door handle chrome is peeling which severely cut my daughters finger.
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz has chrome door handles which are all coming loose. Two of them are so loose that they are about to break off. The other two look as if it is only a matter of time. When you try to use the handle that's loose you can get your fingers caught under the handle and smash them up if you aren't careful.
Peeling metal plating on the driver's door handle is cutting my hand when i open the door; i have taken the vehicle to the chevrolet dealership, but they say that the vin number of my tahoe is not covered by the previous recall.
Just after purchase, while they were prepping my new 07 tahoe i noted that it had a dent in the rear drivers-side door in the ridge over the rear wheel opening.a collision center owner informed me that it could not be repaired without installing a new door skin on it.the salesman had stated that it could be popped-out.it obviously happened at the factory as there were no obvious scratches or other indications of impact.
Exterior door handles keep breaking. No recall. Local dealers say this is very common with this model and similar vehicles. Gm told me to make a complaint here in addition to them.
My wife opened the passenger door of our tahoe and the peeling chrome cut her finger.
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.
Chrome-platted inside door handles are peeling and fingers are being sliced.
2007 tahoe ltz has had 3 door handles break during the last 2.5 years of ownership.am finding this is a very common issue for the 2007 model year.door handles are approx $200.00 each to replace. Can't anything be done by gm motors to make this right?
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.
The door handles are coming completely apart on the vehicle.i cannot enter the vehicle on the right side at all and now the driver side handle is coming apart more all the time.eventually i will not be able to get into the vehicle to drive it what so ever and do not have extra money to repair this gm issue.this needs to be taken care at no charge by chevrolet.
I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and both the driver and passenger interior door handles have began to peel and are very sharp.my wife and myself are very careful when we open or close the doors so as to not cut ourselves, but my 2 year old son was in the front seat while i was cleaning the inside of the car and cut his hand on the door handles.it wasn't bad enough to need stitches but believe this is a defect that gm should replace for free, to prevent worse cuts from happening.
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.
My only complaint with the entire vehicle is the door handles, made of plastic.they have all broken off.this should not happen.
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

Dealer where vehicle was taken for repair stated that this is a problem they see with this vehicle.

I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe and over the past 3 months, the door handles have begun to come loose and pull off the vehicle.i've done research online and i've found that this is a very common problem.the piece is made of plastic and snaps into place and thus has become loose.all 4 of my doors are experiencing this problem and we've been told that gm is not covering this under warranty (i have an extended warranty as well) because it is considered a "trim" piece for the vehicle.this is another reason why i won't buy another gm car and hope they fail next time. I can't believe the government bailed them out and i would like a return of my portion of taxes given to them for their ignorance, lack of quality and lack of professionalism.
My child attempted to open rear door on my 2007 chevy tahoe ltz. One side of the handle broke, thus pulling one side away from the door and pinching her hand somehow! this is the 2nd handle to break on this vehicle. I personally went to open my passenger side door and it broke right off! what if we were in a crash and needed to be pulled out and the door handles break off?!? very dangerous! upon investigating this defect i have learned this is not an uncommon incident! see following link http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-tahoe/trfog7j2eokh998g2i hope we can see a recall out of this!

Door handles keep breaking off .
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.
I own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. All four door handles broke off from the vehicle.

I have a 2007 chevy tahoe and recently went to get out of the passenger side and sliced my finger open on the door handle.i examined the handle to find that the chrome coating is peeling, and is extremly sharp!definatly will need to be fixed to prevent further injurys!i hope chevrolet addresses this issue immediatly, i was cut pretty bad, but would hate to have someone especially a child be hurt worse!
Exterior door handle on my 2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz practically broke off in my hand when opening the door. Major safety hazard that handles break apart and entry into the car could be a problem should their be an emergency or accident.
My husband and i purchased a 2007 chevrolet tahoe 8-16-11. I cut my left middle finger on the chrome driver side interior handle 8-17-11. After further investigation, we discovered all the handles on the vehicle are peeling and very sharp. We have a small child & i am very concerned that he will also start cutting his hands when opening/closing the doors. I feel as though we spent too much money on the vehicle for the handles to be slicing our fingers open.
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.

The roof skin (top) on my 2007 chevrolet tahoehas come lose from the supports.it is now "flexing" in the wind.
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!

Right front frame mount for stabilizer link rotted/rusted off. Chevy would not fix, recommended i go to a body shop for repair. Welder had to fabricate a steel mount to the frame to bolt stabilizer link to. Left side has started to deteriorate also.
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 theproblem 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 theproblem 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.
Ok- just to let u know we no longer have this vehicle.i was to scaredthat 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 afterseveral 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.
This is the second incident. Was driving at 45 mph and made a turn. The tahoe loss power and stalled. The computer read reduced engine power and stability trak off. This is bothersome being that this can happen anywhere at anytime. Afraid of possible accident or worse.

I have a 2007 tahoe.i have 5,700 miles on it and my tires are feathered and ruined.took it back to the dealer, and they said to rotate to back and drive it another 5000 miles and see if the front tires do the same thing. I feel like there should have been more done, but they did nothing. I now would like to know my options. I fear for the safety of my family while driving in this vehicle.the dealership said this is the first reported case and they want us to be the guinea pigs and see what happens.

The suspension was also unstable in the rear associated with the rear wheels. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they replaced the 4-wheel driver module, which did not remedy the failure. While traveling approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel locked without warning and the wheels in the rear locked.

The front air bags and side air bags deployed with force. The driver sustained major injuries to the right arm and the left leg as well as extensive abrasions. The driver had to receive medical attention. A police report was filed.the vehicle was towed to a wrecking yard and then to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not inspected by the insurance adjustor to determine the extent of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
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.
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!
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 theproblem 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 theproblem 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.
2007 chevrolet tahoe. Consumer states after driving on the highway for 15 minutes or so the tire low pressure indicator light on the instrument panel came on *tgwthe consumer stated before he took the vehicle to the dealer, the air was checked several times, with no indication of a problem.the consumer then took the vehicle to the dealer, where they replaced the sensor in the right rear tire. However, the problem continued. The consumer went to another dealer, where they ran a test and found no problem. After filing a complaint, the consumer went back to the second dealer where they found a lock problem. They replaced and reprogrammed the rcdlr.the consumer stated the problem is ongoing. Also, the doors locked on their own on a number of occasions.

I own a 2007 chevy tahoe i've been having problems with the stabilitrak control traction control and the fuel sender for about a couple of wks warranty that i purchased for my car don't want to cover for this!!!!!!!!!!lights keep turning on loud noise from engine car not running well at all!!!!!
My "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", abs light, check engine light all came on. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlining, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" on their own. This happened repetitively as i was driving.i have owned my 2007 chevy tahoe for 18 months and this has occurred 4-5 times, twice in the first 12 months. I have taken to a chevy dealer twice to diagnose and repair the problem but they haven't been able to diagnose problem.
Was driving and when exiting freeway. Truck started shaking really bad and traction /stability control light came on. Engien light has been coming on and off for about a year. All they do is reset system and comes right back on a few days later. It been well taken care of. Bought it in 06 and paid it off in 08. This truck has been giving me many problem since 09. I even have a crake on dash board all the way to air bag since 08. Dealer said no recalls and is due to sun! bull.... I have been reading on-line and many people have simalier problems.
Vehicle dashboard has began to crack in multiple areas if the dash. Mainly on the portion around the instrument cluster and one around the passenger airbag. Vehicle does not move often and it has tint to reduce heat inside and i use a window screen to keep direct sunlight off the dash along with conditioner to keep the palstics from cracking.
The dashboard of my 2007 chevy tahoe is cracked. The crack runs from the hump over the steering column and
The dashboard of the vehicle cracks in multiple locations to include around the airbag. Should he airbag deploy it will be punctured by sharp pieces from the dashboard. This makes the vehicle unsafe and ithe airbags ineffective should the deploy.
Dashboard has 2 cracks. One along the airbag which i'm afraid of my safety. The other is a long one across the steering wheel/speedometer.
Cracks are beginning to form on the top of the dashboard - one above the speedometer, the other above the passenger side airbag.
Crack dashboard
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
I've been a proud chevy owner for years. But very disappointed that the cracked dash issue is not being resolved. I have a crack above my steering wheel and above my passenger side air bag. I don't think this many complaints are just a concidence. I don't see how it's not a safety issue considering it's cracking by airbags. Plus i thought chevrolet had a higher standard for their vehicles. Also more concerned on making the consumer happy and proud to own a chevrolet.i hope they change their minds.
The 1st crack is at the upper left corner of the passenger air bag. This appeared roughly 2 years into ownership.the 2nd crack is to the left of the instrument cluster, starting at the front closest to the windshield and moving back toward the hump of the cluster closest to the driver. A 3rd crack has appeared, branching off the second crack at the instrument cluster pointing towards the drivers window. Those cracks appeared about 3 years ago.this product is defective. The vehicle has been kept under shaded carport or in warehouse most of it's life.
Cracked dash - dash is cracked is several areas especially around the passanger air bag that when deployed could become a hazard to people in the car.
Takata recall ad more.2007 chevy tahoe lt3.first denied claim on cracked dashboard as warranty was up.then chevy recalls chrome interior door handles, but my tahoe is no in the recall.my kids have cut their hands on the peeling handles i took it to gm the said too bad your mileage is to great we wont honor recall furthermore your vehicles is not listed in recall.how is it not listed when all chrome interior handled vehicles where recalled?they told me to take a hike.now i have had a air bag recall for over a year, and a very cracked dash which gm will not fix.if the "recalled" air bags did as they have done and the state of my dash there will be significant injury to occupants.gm does not care, they have addressed the situation numerous times and nothing they are doing is correcting the issue.
My dash has cracked over the instrument panel starting at around 65k miles i noticed it and it also has cracked over the passenger side airbag causing the dash to separate from the airbag which would cause part of the dash to potentially shatter upon airbag deployment causing serious or fatal injury.
The dashboard on my 2007 chevrolet tahoe has fractures over the passenger front airbag as well as above the instrument cluster. The fractures are emitting a loud rattle from within the dashboard preventing adequate concentration while driving. The fear of a collision resulting in the deployment of the front passenger side airbag is one thing but i also fear that the fractures in the dashboard shows the structural integrity of the dashboard has failed and presents a strong and valid possibly of said fractures splintering off and becoming shrapnel in a collision causing serious injury. From my understanding this is a widely known and documented issue with the chevrolet tahoe. I am requesting a formal investigation into the failed integrity of the dashboard on the chevrolet tahoe, years 2007-2013
I bought my 2007 tahoe in 2011. The vehicle had a small crack by my passenger side airbag. I bought a sun shade visor, but that did not help the problem. Over the past 6 six years the dash has cracked 6-7 more times. It cracked when i was driving on tbe highway, it cracked when my truck was parked right after i turned my a/c on, on a hot day. I'mconcerned because if the faulty airbag that has to be replaced is deployed, small shards of plastic may become projectiles causing great bodily harm. There are hundredsof thousands of vehicles like mine on our roads everyday. This is dangerous and the problem needs to be rectified.
The entire dash is cracked in multiple places and shards of plastic come off easily which during a crash or air bag deployment could cause chunks/shards to injure or kill someone. This is a know issue with these vehicles and gm should recall this known problem
Electrical problems resulting from burned washer fluid heater
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.
Vehicle has significant and extensive cracking of the front dashboard, especially over the instrument console, due to an engineering design flaw in the 2007-2013 models. In the event of an accident, the dashboard will crack and splinter, causing potentially dangerous plastic shards to be directed at the occupants of the vehicle at time of impact, or possibly rupturing deployed airbags, rendering them useless.
When you engage the rear auto lift gate (ltz) the door goes 3/4 the way up and then begins to close on you literally traping you between the door and the rear opening.at first it would happen ever so often, now i must push the button again to stop the door from closing.this is a danger especially to children.
Dashboard has severely cracked around the passenger side air bag, among other areas.deployment of the airbag could cause sharp shards of plastic to become projectiles possibly causing injury or death.
Cracked dash.
Dash significantly cracking and splitting
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.
It was discovered that the dash was cracked in two spots while cleaning the vehicle.one of the cracks is located near the passenger side airbag while the other larger crack is in front of the driver.nothing was done to cause the crack.my wife and i do not use armor all on the dash, we have not placed anything heavy on the dash, we do not place feet on the dash, we have not had any accidents that would cause the dash to crack.our concern is pieces of the dash breaking off during a collision causing injury with air bag deployment.another cause for concern is the cracking getting worse causing holes in the dash, exposing the electronic components under the dash.
I am making a complaint on 2007 tahoe. I have had the tahoe since 2010 and i have had problems with the dash ever since. I have had a replacement dash installed and two years later it cracked again. This time it is much worse. I have cracks all over and even cracks that butt up to the airbag box. I think this is not safe since pieces of the dash could fly off if the airbag is deployed and could seriously cause more damage to the driver and passenger. Also, the crack could interfere with the way that the airbag comes out of the box. This could cause improper inflation or even a rip in the airbag. I think that this part should be recalled since thousands of chevy people are having the same problem. I have seen many pictures of peoples dashes that have the same concerns. Please review these cases and understand that this simple cosmetic piece could have major affects.
Dashboard cracks near airbag and over speedometer.i believe this could be a safety issue if airbags employ during accident with pieces of dashboard causing injury.
Dash is cracking a part in two places and also around the passenger airbag with the possibility of becoming a projectile in a wreck and could possibly hurt or kill somebody
I have a defective dashboard crack that began over driver instrument panel and extends across dash to and around the passenger airbag that is also defective. I am worried about safety as the defective airbag is now compromised even more by the cracked dashboard that is surrounding it. I am still waiting for airbag recall parts for airbag. It began in late summerand has continued to spread over time and now just cracked around the airbag. I feel our safety is compromised with a crack around an unstable, recalled airbag and i called gm customer service reference number 8-2670033882 to report this.
Multiple cracks have appeared in my dash board. Anywhere from above the instrument panel to the corners of the airbag. Dash board is starting to flop and pieces breaking and falling into the dash falling out the bottom on to the floor.
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.
1. Lift gate failed and hurt my arm on or about jan 1 2014. I need repaired asap!2. Dashboard crackedabove steering column and cracked by air bag passenger side. I need repaired asap. Gm refused to acknowledge thousands of consumers having the same effects to their dashboard.3. Timing chain went off time and bent a cylinder which caused serious damage 9/2014 cost of damages at approximate 4500.00 gm refused to acknowledge deficiencies. I paid out of pocket the 4500.00 with no assistance. Ialso paid 250.00 for estimates at the gm dealer in kingston mass. They refused to help and give assistance on any of these 3 major safety problems after submitting the dealer bona fide report.

I am continually finding pieces on the dash on my floorboard near the gas pedals on the drivers side and far forward on the passenger side. And recently with the cracks getting worse i have noticed the broken pieces are starting to flap around with the forced air coming through the vents.
The dash is cracking all over and it started at 70,000 miles. The deep concern that we have is in an accident that pieces of plastic will fly as the airbags are deployed.

Dashboard crack up can see down inside.
I had cracks appear on my vehicles dashboard above my instrument cluster and over by the air bag cover. This could cause a serious problem with plastic shrapnel flying into the vehicle when it deploys. Gm should fix this as it is a safety hazard. This either cheap plastic or a design flaw that could cause serious injury or even death. I urge you to issue a recall in this matter as thiscould effect peoples lives. I feel this is gm's duty to address and take care of this major problem with the vehicles that they build.

Dashboard crack up can see down inside
I am filing a complaint in regards to the chevy tahoe 2007 ltz model i own.the vehicle has been claimed by thousands of owners to have a factory bad dashboard.the dashboard is made with a very cheap and unsafe plastic.this plastic cracks due to natural causes from heat and cold.the plastic also after some time will crack and deteriorate again due to unsafe and poor plastic material.the remedy is to purchase a new dashboard panel and pay for the professional labor to install.this product cost should be shard at a bare minimum by gm due to good faith practices.i would like to have my claim reviewed and passed on to gm for the purpose of correcting this unsafe factory plastic dashboard.the airbags can create and cause a highly unsafe deployment by exploding cheap and sharp shard of plastic into the eyes and face of the passenger/driver.gm is claiming to not have the legal requirement to repair or pay for this unsafe dashboard that should of been a recall.
The dashboard has cracked in two places.one crack is in the drives side and another crack is in the area near the passenger side airbag.i question whether the crack is going to have an impact on the performance of the airbag and/or potentially cause an issue or injury if the airbag if ever deployed.
I want to add to the known issue with the cracked dashboards on this series of gm trucks. I have a crack just above the passenger side airbag. The second crack is above the gauge panel on the drivers side.my concern is the crack on the passenger side. I fear that if in a crash, the plastic on the dash will fragment and send sharp pieces flying. This is a safety issue.
Dashboard cracked in two places -above left side of passenger airbag and to left of steering wheel.i do no know the exact moment the cracks appeared.i know they were not present two months ago when i last cleaned the interior of my car.this car is kept in a garage or parked in the shade whenever it isn't on the road.i also use a sun screen when parked in open parking lots for brief periods.this did not occur because of uv degradation.if i have an accident i am concerned that the plastic will shatter, being one more thing to cause injury.i have attached a picture of the crack above my steering wheel.the dash is actually gray though it appears green.

I recently started to notice an odor coming from the air ducts, while running my air conditioner.i called up a local chevrolet dealership, hoping they may schedule me for a servicing of my cabin air filter. I called the parts department, to which they informed me that they did, in fact, carry the parts needed (using my vin). I scheduled my appointment but still had a few questions and asked if i may speak with a service adviser/technician (it took me a week before i was called back). I finally was able to speak with an adviser that, after speaking with one of the technicians, informed me that my vehicle does not have a cabin air filter, thus, there is no need to have it serviced.after doing some research online, i came to the conclusion that my vehicle did not have a cabin air filter installed, however, it does have the housing/slot for one. I purchased a cabin air filter and cover. The directions seemed simple enough that i did not need to take it anywhere as i am somewhat mechanically inclined. I was appalled by what i found when i removed the seal. Ten years of standing water, led to an infestation of mold and bacteria, that i and any passengers have been breathing in.attached are pictures i took after cutting out the seal to install a cabin air filter.i would greatly appreciate any and all explanations as to why this was never addressed and what gm may recommend so that this may never happen again. I understand that my year and model of tahoe (along with other models that do not come equipped with a cabin air filter) is not the only one with this flaw, and cannot see how anyone would continue to sit in, let alone drive in, a bacteria/disease-ridden vehicle.email sent to chevrolet customer assistance (to which they informed me that based on my vehicles age and mileage, that they would be unable to assist me.
Dashboard crack up can see down inside
This dash crack on 2007 chevy tahoe seems to be common in this years suv's and trucks. As seen on forums/youtube concerning this dash crack, it could be possible that in a collision, the cracked plastic dash can act as shrapnel when airbags deploy. Please run some tests on this as i have little ones and wouldn't want them in harms way.
The vehicle was parked in a parking lot when i noticed that the dashboard had began to crack.after routine maintenance to repair the heater corebehind the dashboard it literally fell apart,the whole piece has been replaced.
I own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. Before the vehicle was out of warranty, i had to replace the dashboard due to cracking. The dashboard is cracked and broken again - all over. The vent has broken and fallen in, there are cracks around the airbag and there are complete holes where pieces have broken and fallen into the dash. I love my car and this is the only issue i have with it. I just called the dealer to replace the dashboard and was quoted $1,300.00 which i can not afford. According to the internet this is a very common problem with this year, make and model vehicle, chevrolet needs to take responsibility and fix this issue.
Chrome plating on interior door handles are peeling leaving sharp and jagged edges causing cuts on hand and fingers.also, interior door panels' retaining clips are popping out causing panels to separate from the door.
I am very disappointed in gm for not taking the measure to fix the cracked dashboard! not only is my air bag recalled and says it can cause serious injury my dash is cracked as well right next to a potential deadly air bag. I believe this issue needs to be fixed by gm immediately, i can guarantee if it were their family's vehicle it would be fixed!
Cracks in dash board near passenger air bag and driver side steering wheel.
There is a crack in the dashboard near the airbag.
Cracking in dashboard cause potential safety hazard upon deployment
Serious and extensive cracking of the dashboard above the instrument cluster and at the passenger side air bag.the crack would cause dangerous caving of the entire dashboard area in the event of a crash and could interupt the efficient deployment of the airbag system.
Door handles (interior) chrome plating is peeling back and cutting fingers when you pull on them.
My dashboard has cracked, unexpectedly (having only 76,000 miles) on my tahoe ltz 2007. In my review and research of this issue i have seen a common trend with gm for these models.among this trend, and incidentally from my research, they are all cracking in the same spots as mine. Above the driver's side instrument panel and the upper left corner of the passenger front airbag.in lieu of these these dashboard cracks, and combined with the existing recall that has no solution for fix- surrounding the takata inflators among the airbags, this becomes a serious safety hazard should there be an accident. The time to make corrections and fixes, not at the owner's or passengers' expense, is before an accident occurs.i would appreciate any advise or insight surrounding this matter.i do have photos on my phone for future documentation should it be needed. Your assistance is greatly appreciated in this matter. Please note, this tahoe is well taken care of and has always been garaged. It's documented history and appearance attest to that fact.
Dashboard is cracked all over with a large crack next to the passenger side airbag.there is now a recall on the airbags which is another example of the cheap material chevrolet put into there vehicle. If airbags do deploy, portions of those cheap plastic dashboards can be deadly.general motors, you are on notice.you have lost a loyal customer for life.

Cracking on dashboard over steering column and near passenger airbag
All my dashboard is cracked near the steering wheel to the airbag.
I have had my tahoe since 2009 and since that time i have had 3 cracks in the dashboard. I am concerned that this problem will affect the airbags in they get worse. I also think that it is a manufacturing defect as my husband's 2008 silverado has the same problem. They are both kept in a garage.
Dash board has cracked over the instrument panel. It started after a warm day and the a/c was turned on. Vehicle was stationary when i heard the crack. It had been parked in a parking lot. The crack has gradually extended toward the arch over the instruments.
I purchased this tahoe in 2008 with almost 13000 miles on it.before the warranty expired i had the dash board replaced because of the cracks in it.now it has cracksall over which are worse then the original one had.there are a lot of sharp arears on it that cut easily when running a rag over it to clean it.i don't know what would be the result if it was involved in any kind of accident.
Hi, i own a 2007 chevrolet ls tahoe and my concern is that my front dash has developed a crack about 8" on the left side of the instrumentation cluster, the giant crack has started to appear to be gaping open, and it's starting to sag, and has also cracked on the above the top driver side dash air bag, , at the top center dash area just above the passenger right side air bag , but it's 2 individual cracks. I always have parked most of the majority of the time in my garage or i try to find shaded areas to park.
Cracks appeared on the dash around the passenger airbag and above the driver side instrument cluster.
There are 3 cracks on my dash. There are 2 cracks on corners of drivers side at airbag and 1 crack on drivers side airbag. All 3 cracks are of great cocern to my familys safety. Im not surewhen the cracks happened.
The dash board in my 2007 tahoe has cracked on the drivers side and on the passenger side where the air bags are. This could easily send splinters or bigger pieces of plastic pieces flying into the car if the air bags were to deploy. Very dangerous situation. There was no accident or misuse that cause this. The dash just started cracking. The car was kept in a garage. Many other complaints about this issue can be found.
I have two cracks, one located on the driver side dashboard and one on the passenger side above the airbag. Nothing has been done to produce such problem. I have also had to replace my heater core input valve. I have read that this has to do with the fact that the vehicle uses dex-cool. I am unsure of what to do with the fact that dex-cool has been found to eat away at hoses, o-rings, gaskets, and other parts of which dex-cool comes into contact with. I would also like to report that my oil pressure sending unit also needs to be replaced, it is no longer sending pressure readings to the dashboard. I have read that this is a very popular problem with many chevrolet vehicle.
Dashboard crack up can see down inside.
Takata recall as well as dashboard cracking severely at airbags
My car's dash has been cracked since 2010 when it was only 3 years old. The cracks are all over, but specifically on the passenger side air bag and above the steering wheel. I do not know what caused the cracks. I also have peeling door handles that have cut my fingers as well as my children's fingers.
Dash has cracked in two separate areas.one above the driver side instrument panel and one above the passenger side airbag.i called two different chevrolet dealerships on two separate occasions, neither of which willing to correct or report to gm.entire repair would be at owner expense.dash has had very little sunlight exposure.
I have a 2007 tahoe that has developed several cracks in the dash. One above the steering wheel and another at the passenger side air bag. I am concerned that should the passenger airbag deploy, the dash pieces will become shrapnel, causing avoidable injuries. I have researched this and found it to be disturbingly common for these vehicles. This vehicle is garage kept and meticulously cared for. Will gm be made to stand behind the safety of their vehicles?
The dash is starting to crack.there is one crack by the passenger side air back and another just above the gauge cluster. I'm unsure if the vehicle was stationary or in motion when the dash cracked.
Dashboard cracking around airbag cover and over steering wheel.
Crack dasboard
Dash is cracked in multiple places around airbag. Electrical system bugs out when driving in rainrngine consumes 2 quarts of oil in between changes
Cracked dashboard adjacent to passenger side airbag.
Dash board has cracks for no reason. Worried it may cause problems if involved in an accident. Cracked above steering wheel and on pass side around air bag.
I have complained to dealership over the past year that my dashboard above the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbag has been cracking. They stated that if it begins to crack around airbag, that it could cause a safety concern. It has now cracked around the airbag and i'm concerned that this could cause a disruption in airbag/flying debris towards passenger if it were to deploy (possible severe injury or even death). The dealership stated there isn't a recall for this as it's common for this to happen in gm vehicles but that it's a known issue and that sometimes they will cover the cost.
I have a cracking front dash, i have several cracks, on the right side above the front passenger side air bag area, and a larger crack on the left side of the instrument cluster, that coach is about 9"
Dashboard has cracked in three places because of no fault of my own
Dash is severely cracked over steering column and also around air bag. This is not due to a crash or any cosmetic changes to the vehicle. The vehicle has not been exposed to high heat for long periods of time either.
I dont understand why gm will not fix the issue with cracks in the dash!it is u safe as one is located right at the passenger side airbag.what it i have an accident and this breaks and parts fly and hu6a passenger. This is not safe.
Dashboard has a large crack in front of driver
Dashboard cracking. Notice little crack on 2013 but on 2016 notice more cracks. Hear on the news that chevrolet has a problem with dashboard cracking and try to contac them but they refusing to fix their problem because is out of warranty.it may a safety issue because air bag is around dashboard. I just upload 1 picture but there is more cracks.
Takata complaint dash broke above steering wheel and passenger airbag.
The dashboard of the vehicle cracks in multiple locations to include around the airbag. Should he airbag deploy it will be punctured by sharp pieces from the dashboard. This makes the vehicle unsafe and ithe airbags ineffective should the deploy. The manufacturer shoud issue a recall.
My dash has begun to crack substantially. I have not done anything to cause this. Essentially, over time, it has gone from a small hairline crack to cracks and damage everywhere. Again, i have not done anything to cause this at all. This issue is reported among many gm vehicle owners, and should be taken care of by gm. I refuse to pay upwards of $1000 for something i didn't cause.
Dashboard cracking.this has been happening for the last 3 years with the cracking getting larger from one side of dashboard to the other.
Multiple dashboard cracks around passenger airbag and now on drivers side.i am the original owner and the tahoe has always been in the garage when parked at home.
Dash board cracked and airbag recall still open
Dash board crack.the crack appears to have compromised the dashboard all the way to the passenger-side airbag and a much larger crack above the instrument panel.if something were to happen...i was in a wreck, and the airbag were to deploy...there's shards of dash going through the cab. I am the original owner on this 2007 tahoe.
Like thousands of other chevy tahoe, subruban and silverado owners, i have significant and extensive cracking of the front dashboard, especially over the instrument console, due to an engineering design flaw in the 2007-2013 models. In the event of an accident, the dashboard will crack and splinter, causing plastic shards to be directed at the occupants of the vehicle at time of impact, possibly rupturing deployed airbags, rendering them useless.
There is a crack running on dash on passenger side starting at the airbag seem on top of dash board.
All of sudden my dash on passager side, over air bag show a crack, and as the time went by is cracking even more . I just went to chevrolet yesterday,to see what could be done , and the first thing i heard was that was very commom ,but since i'm out of warranty, that should cost around $ 1300 to be replaced. Since is common ,and i was looking on line , they should replace at their cost not ours.
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.
Cracked dash board.
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.
Dashboard has serious cracks due to deterioration. Get worse every summer season.
Dash board cracked over stringing wheel and pass. Air bag
Unexplained cracking in the dash near and around the airbags.
Takata recall: my truck has a 8" crack on driver's dashboard. Worry that it damage all the electronic inside of it. Moves and cracks as the truck is moving. Another 3" crack located on the airbag opening. Very concern that it can affect the ability of the airbag. 2nd owner of the truck and bought it jan 2016
Dash board has multiple cracks on driver and passenger side.
The dashboard just above where my airbag is located has cracked, i am concerned that this is maybe to do with a faulty airbag.
When i began my monday morning, it was just as any other kentucky monday until i unlocked my baby (2007 chevy tahoe ltz) and noticed a very large crack that appeared overnight!!not only is the crack above my instrument panel but on both sides of my passenger airbag!i am beyond sick.i have never had an issue like this with any other chevy's i had.as a matter of fact, the great track record of my other chevys is why i placed confidence when purchasing this, much more expensive model!i reached out, in person to my local chevy dealer, and with leg propped up, tired and hot look on his face i was informed it was not their problem, the vehicle was over 5 years old.asking to speak to the service manager seemed to really inconvenience this guy, so after a closed door meeting between mr. Too happy to be here and the service manager, i got a very "rehearsed" spill about how this is an old vehicle and unless gmc tells them to fix it, they aren't going to fix it!even though he acknowledged this was a common problem.(fyi i never lost my cool and was hoping the cordial, business manner i projected would have been reciprocated.....wrong!)this "old vehicle" has been hand washed, garage kept and kid free since it's original purchase, and maintained well above the manufactured recommendations i'm sure. After reading a 135 page forum of people who have had the same issue as i, i have an overwhelming feeling of being let down by the brand that i have purchased since my first car, a 1986 chevy spectrum.i feel this is a safety hazard if i or a loved one is ever in an accident as the dashboard cracks into hundreds of pieces of flying shrapnel!how can this not be a safety concern?why can't they replace it when they replace the passenger air bag component they are currently looking into replacing? we have been trolling our chevy dealer for a new truck for my son or are we?
Dash board has a huge crack
Tamara recallcracked dash causing potential shards if airbag deployed.common problem with tahoe and other gm brands
Cracking dash. Dash is busting on its own due to normal use. I use a sunshade to protect it every day and it still is falling apart. Manufacturer defect.
My dash has cracked and now has broken a piece off, it's made very thin and not sure why it's cracking so much.
Door handles. I has the vehicle for 12 months when the chrome on all four door handles started peeling.the chrome is sharp and causes cuts that have been deep.
Cracked dashboard with sharp edges which could impale the passenger in a accident!
Dashboard cracked and split by passenger side airbag.
"takata recall" i own a 2007 chevrolet tahoe the dashboard is severely cracked. I am concern that a piece might break and cause damage to the airbag. I have attempted to get this corrected through gm with no resolve. I have checked and found this is a common occurrence on this year model.
The dash in my vehicle has cracked and could be a safety issue should the airbag deploy.
The dashboard has cracked in several places and is becoming a safety issue as well as being an annoyance (excessive rattling) and aesthetic issue. The plastic dashboard is becoming loose and unstable. We are finding this is a common issue with 2007 tahoes. Gm does not appear to be concerned with this issue and has failed to issue a recall. We are concerned in the event of an airbag deployment, the cracked dash will break away and cause plastic shrapnel, impaling the driver and or passenger/s in the vehicle.this has certainly created a safety concern!
Cracked dashboard, front passanger airbag and also by driver side
The dashboard has randomly andseverely cracked in two different places over the last several years. The most recent just a few weeks ago.
My dashboard has numerous cracks on and around passenger airbag compartment which compromise safe and effective deployment of passenger airbag in collision.
My dashboard first cracked where the passenger airbag connects to the dashboard and now is cracked in 3 other places: 2 above the control panel connected to the vent and one above the radio. It is very frustrating and has got to be a safety issue with the location of the airbag and the crack. I am not willing to put my family at risk to just wait and see or take someone's word that "it is not a safety issue". A new dashboard is very expensive. I have read that this is a recurring problem among may tahoes along with other models. These cracked dashboards are a lawsuit waiting to happen when they are not deployed appropriately during an accident. I have not seen when these 4 cracks occurred, but the cracks allow for the dashboard to shift and crack more when driving over bumps, etc.
Dashboard is cracked in three locations.1st and 2nd:over passenger side airbag from upper corners of the airbag to the air-vent panel3rd: approximately 8 inches along the top of the driver instrument panel to the air-vent panel.additional separation between panels is created during temperature changes or running the heater in cold weather. Have had two dealerships tell me it is a normal, known, and reoccurring problem with the body-style but offered to replace it for over $1,000.
Dashboard cracking
Dashboard crack up can see down inside.
My dashboard cracks around the passenger side airbag. I have had 2 dashboards replaced already.
Hi to whom it may concern, i'm contacting you guys in concerns of a cracked dashboard that initially started around my airbag area and later on continued cracking over my instrument panel. In do time i really think my dash will have holes in it allowing one to see all of my electrical parts and whatsoever. This is going to impose a vehichle safety issue do to if god forbid one gets into an accident of any type and da airbag deploys,all of that sharp plastic will be embedded into our faces,etc. Gm needs to issue an recall because this is not considered a normal wear and tear issue being that what activity takes place on my dashboards!
At 56000 i began to notice sally cracks to the passenger side dash on the corner of the housing for the passenger airbag. I took it to the dealership but this was not a covered item in my warranty. Shortly after, the cracks have extended and are approximately 2-3 inches in length . Also a crack above the instrument cluster began and has traveled to the front of the dash. The concern and immediate danger is that if the air bags were to deploy, the excerpted force would either send shrapnel from the dashboard in to the personnel in the vehicle causing a greater risk of serious traumatic injury or possibly death.additionally it is possible that the sharp edges created by the cracks could potentially pierce the airbag preventing it from fully deploying as intended and thus rendering it in affective and not adhering to safety standards, again resulting in possible loss of life or sever traumatic injury.
My exterior door handles are breaking off. I have had all four replaced and now have two that have broken again. They are made of cheap plastic and held on the door with plastic that just breaks loose when pulled on. Also the plastic coating on the interior door handles is peeling off causing sharp edges. I am so disappointed in this gm product. This is the most expensive vehicle that i have ever purchased and by far the poorest quality. My dash is also cracked in multpile places starting with the left corner of the passenger air bag and now above the instrument panel.
Multiple cracks in the dashboard and at the passenger airbag.
Dashboard has several very bad cracks that continue to get worse. The cracks are extending to the passenger airbag. I fear if an accident occurs the airbag may not work properly. This is not something that should be happening for many safety reasons.
I noticed a small crack in my dash along the passenger side airbag at about 40,000 miles. The dash is now cracked in 5 to 6 different places above the steering wheel. Very frustrating to pay $50,000 for such poor quality. My tahoe has always been garage kept. I am worried that my front passenger side air bag is affected by this and that if it does deploy in the event of an accident that all the cracked pieces of hard plastic from the dash will be hazardous. Also when driving you can hear the loud rattles from the dash.
Craked dashboard.
Cracked dash
Dashboard crack up can see down inside
Front dash has multiple cracks within the dash. Safety hazard as peices could fly out striking driver in the face. Would like a recall from gm.
Dash has been cracked in two spots, left top corner of passengers airbag and left of hump on driver side dash. Also, trim along middle of doors are rusted along the tops. Noticed this on other vehicles and was told at the dealership (friendly chevrolet in carrollton,tx) that none of this was under warranty.
My vehicle has a crack in the dashboard above the passenger side airbag as well as above the instrument panel.i am concerned if i were to get into a wreck, that the dash is going to split and cause bodily harm inside the vehicle.the cracking appears to be continuing to spread.
While cleaning the dashboard i heard a loud noise and noticed it had cracked in two places.one over the drivers side "hump" and the other at the air bag.it now has three cracks.
Dash board has cracked in multiple places and continually gotten worse over length of time.
Dash board is cracking and has been. Called and went into dealer and always told no recall but can they could replace it for $1000 - 1500 dollars at my expense.i worry about the air bags with parts of the dash board falling into the dash.
Cracked dash issue. 3 cracks extending the length of the dash panel and one of those cracks is adjacent to the airbag on passenger side.
The dashboard is cracked.
Crack in dashboard above passenger airbag door.
Dash cracked in three different spots
Dashboard cover is cracked in multiple places.
Passenger side of the dashboard is cracked around the airbag. There is also a large crack in the dashboard directly behind the instrument cluster. I am concerned that if the airbag was to deploy, there would be projectiles from the dashboard.
Cracked dashboard in multiple places.vehicle stationary.its a known issue, unsure why there has not been a recall yet.
Dash cracked in what appears to be very common spots, just above instrument panel, and in the corner nearest the top left of the passenger airbag cover. This could be very dangerous in an accident, and is a known defect that chevy is choosing to ignore.
Dash cracks began appearing around 28,000 miles.car now has 62,000 miles and four cracks.originally, the cracks were not covered under the extended warranty.now, these cracks are not just aesthetically displeasing, but concerns are raised about the cracks around the front airbag and safety issues with regard to airbag deployment.cracks just became noticeable one day.the vehicle was always pampered, kept in a garage and protected by sunshades when occasionally parked outside.upon complaining, gm offered to fix it for half of retail cost...$500 instead of $1100.
The main call to action here is safety. Dashes that are cracked in places around the passenger airbag can become flying projectiles in the event of an accident where the passenger or side impact airbag deploys. Previously stated, general motors obviously recognizes this as a problem and they are refusing to fix the problem. Please help...
Cracked dash
My dashboard keeps cracking.it has been replaced once already and it is cracking again.i contacted the dealership concerning the problem and was informed that it would cost me $1100.00 to repair the dashboard.gm should fix this problem with their vehicles concerning this defect.
Dashboard cracks in all gm vehicles near the passenger airbag.not sure if it affects the airbag but will definitely send sharp plastic parts flying if airbag is needed.
The padal was change 2 times my car engine light would come on and the power on my car will not move but car is still running and it happen in the middle of the road which causes danger to me and my family can get in an accident people dont drive with aloha and me and my husband have good driving record this problem on our car can cause fatallity. Please have a recall on this before some gets hurt thank you
The dashboardhas two cracks one over the steering wheeland one over the passenger side air bag. I also have the light on and off saying (air bag service required) and the cruise control n has not been working neither for like 2 yearsall.it is a safety issue and concern when i travel with my family and this issue should be addressed immediately. Thank you [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Speedometer reading completely incorrect, bouncedback and forth.sometimes will be correct, but more oftenit reads way over what the actual speed was.it also ticked as it moved.chevrolet dealer said it will be $450 to replace it.
I was driving along and the speed control just stopped working.ireset 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.
My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in november 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First i was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be deadly. In reviewing comments in the chevroletforum.com many consumers are having the same issues with the same results (a guessing game) why isn't this a recall?
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!!!
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the reduced engine speed warning indicator randomly flashed several times. The vehicle drastically reduced speed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who replaced the throttle body position sensor, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While traveling at a speed of 35 mph the contact press on the brake and the vehicle accelerated up to 40 mph. The contact pressed the break again and the vehicle immediately stopped. Contact experienced failure with several components such as thebattery,all the power door locks lock it automatically sets the alarm off. When the contact places his left foot close to the break pedal and emergency brake the interior lights and chimes would come on. On another occasion while parked the vehicles air bag deployed with smoke coming from the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the control module was replaced after the second battery replacement and the air bag system has not been repaired. Dealer refuses to perform service until further notice from the manufacturer. The current mileage is 36,500 and failure mileages were 15,000.updated 5/20/2010 updated 09/-7/10
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 have two problems to report first my gas pedal sticks to floor if i turn my floor mat upside down when my shoes are dirty gas pedal catches and sticks to floor under acceleration very scary and unsafe.second problem is my dash cracked above my passenger air bag and i am afraid if it deploys the broken dash will come off with air bag and hit passenger in face causing injury or worse. I have read online of many other same year and vehicle with the same problems and would apriciate you looking into these before someone is injured thank you.
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.
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.
While driving it he vehicle it shuts off, all of the gauges go to zero the power steering goes out and i am no longer able to accelerate until i restart the car. The lights inside and out go off and on . The doors lock and unlock continuously,. In the past year this has happened 3 or 4 times.
Driving vehicle on the 7th day of ownership with cruise control on.on a slight down grade vehicle accelerated 20 mph over set cruise speed before i shut cruise off.the next morning, the vehicle continued accelerating after i took my foot off the gas at a light causing vehicle to crash into another vehicle.chevy dealer in henderson, nv handled very poorly.nearly two months after crash, gm called me and stated that their 3rd party independent evaluation (done by a retired gm employee) of the vehicle and its computers doesn't show any failure or malfunction to verify my claim. Gm can say what they want.i know what happened and my wife and family witnessed the accident.gm had no interest in talking to them.for their protection, i'll take a loss and trade the vehicle as soon as i get it back.just wanted a public record of situation in case of any future similar incidents. Ironically, i was impressed by vehicle and quality the week i had it.the report gm sent me appeared to confirm what i said happen, but they said not.
I own a 2007 chevy tahoe andi 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?
Transmission is not shifting and i see that tens of thousands of people are with the same problem on the particularly suv2007 chevy tahoe this transmission should be a recall or at least fix it with a low price of less than $500 so we can keep buying these trucks
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.
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 severaltimes 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 of this problem.i decided to research it myself and have found hundreds and hundreds of posts&forums of people saying the exact same thing. Which is why i am contacting you, if this is happening in many chevy/gmc cars w/stabilitrac this is soooo dangerous.to have your car suddenly reduce power to 10-15 miles per hour (with no brake lights or warnings to people behind you) is extremely dangerous.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 chevy tahoe lt. It literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. It is a miracle that the entire car did not go up in flames. I've done a little research online and apparently this is not an isolated incident. The 2006-2007 chevy trialblazers and toyota rav4's have had the same issues. I believe there needs to be a recall of some sort in order to make sure this does not happen to anyone else and potentially catch the entire vehicle on fire.
The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe.the air bag indicator continuously remains illuminated in the vehicle.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the air bags were not inflating properly.the retainer clip was replaced and the indicator was repaired.the indicator is currently illuminated again.the failure mileage was 34,665.updated 03/09/09. *ljthe air condition blew otu hot air, the dvd and onstar stopped working as well as the seats and windows no longer operate.

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.

Dt*: the contact stated a letter was received from the manufacturer that instructed the side view mirrors should be folded in at speeds over 30 mph and not used.the manufacturer was contacted and stated the repair was delayed, because a remedy was not currently available.
Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall hvac, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving.
Stopped at an intersection and my sunroof unexplainable exploded. There were no missiles,objects or debristhat caused the sunroof to shatter. It was extremely loud and the sunroof shattered and held together by the film.
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. Istarted 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!
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.

The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that there was a progressive power steering failure that occurred without warning. The suspension was also unstable in the rear associated with the rear wheels. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they replaced the 4-wheel driver module, which did not remedy the failure. While traveling approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel locked without warning and the wheels in the rear locked. The contact applied force to correct the failure, but the steering wheel and the rear wheels locked. The vehicle veered to the left and crashed into a 1996 gmc sierra 3500. The front air bags and side air bags deployed with force. The driver sustained major injuries to the right arm and the left leg as well as extensive abrasions. The driver had to receive medical attention. A police report was filed.the vehicle was towed to a wrecking yard and then to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not inspected by the insurance adjustor to determine the extent of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
Was driving and when exiting freeway. Truck started shaking really bad and traction /stability control light came on. Engien light has been coming on and off for about a year. All they do is reset system and comes right back on a few days later. It been well taken care of. Bought it in 06 and paid it off in 08. This truck has been giving me many problem since 09. I even have a crake on dash board all the way to air bag since 08. Dealer said no recalls and is due to sun! bull.... I have been reading on-line and many people have simalier problems.
