2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

2007 TAHOE WITH 100K MILES. DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKED SINCE BEFORE 100K AND CHROME PEELING FROM DOOR HANDLES CAUSING OCCASIONAL CUTS TO HANDS WHEN OPENING DOORS. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AND BOTH ARE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. DON'T PLAN TO BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT - THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

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 BUTT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE LOCATIONS. 1ST AND 2ND: OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FROM UPPER CORNERS OF THE AIRBAG TO THE AIR-VENT PANEL 3RD: 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.

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.

TL* 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.

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.

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.

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

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 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. THAT CAN PERMANENTLY INJUR EYES OR CUT BODY PARTS . THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS PERMANENTLY INJURED. LOOK ON FACEBOOK THEIR IS A GROUP OF OVER 3,000 PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. 07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS.
