2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MYSELF AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING ON THE I75 TO CINCINNATTI, OHIO AND MY TRUCK WAS FINE, NO ISSUES, NO PROBLEMS, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HALFWAY THERE THERE 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. *JS

THE R/F DOOR HANDLE CAUSED A LACERATION TO THE PASSENGER'S HAND. AN INSPECTION OF THE DOOR HANDLE REVEALED THAT THE CHROME PLATING IS PEELING AT THE MOLD SEEM, RESULTING IN A RAZOR SHARP EDGE ALONG THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE HANDLE. INSPECTION OF THE OTHER DOOR HANDLES REVEALED SIMILAR PEELING THAT CAN CUT ANYONE WHO COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE PEELING METAL PLATING. *JS

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? *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECURRING FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 131,194.

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? *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR
