2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD DETACHED NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

OK- JUST TO LET U KNOW WE NO LONGER HAVE THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TO SCARED THAT 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 AFTER SEVERAL 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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CAR IS MOVING OVER BUMPS ON THE ROAD

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. *TR

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 DASH CRACKING 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 GM DEALRESHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED VERIFIED THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND THEY WERE VERY LARGE. *TR

MY INTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS CHROME PEELING OFF AND IT SLICED MY FINGER WHILE CLOSING DOOR. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. TERRIBLE DESIGN. *TR

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.

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF; HAVE REPLACED DRIVER SIDE REAR (JAN 2014) AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT (FEB 2014). APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC CASING AROUND THE SCREW, WHICH MOUNTS THE HANDLE TO THE DOOR, CRACKS AND BREAKS. COST TO REPAIR IS ABOUT $150 EACH TIME (DOOR PANEL MUST BE REMOVED TO REPLACE). NOTE - BOUGHT TAHOE USED JULY 2013. DEALER WHERE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR REPAIR STATED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY SEE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
