2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

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. *TR

STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND MY SUNROOF UNEXPLAINABLE EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO MISSILES,OBJECTS OR DEBRIS THAT CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO SHATTER. IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERED AND HELD TOGETHER BY THE FILM. *TR

LIGHT COMES ON DASH STABILITY TRACK CONTROL THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE IS ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND ALSO ON DASH LIGHT SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND WAS REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,500.

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. *TR
