2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

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!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER, REAR DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE FRACTURED AND BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DOORS WERE UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE INSIDE RETAINER SCREWS HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE HANDLES TO BREAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE DEFECT WAS RECURRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

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. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE SPEED CONTROL JUST STOPPED WORKING. I RESET 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. *TR

CRACKED FRONT DASH ON RIGHT SIDE NEAR AIR BAG AFRAID THAT IT COULD DEPLOY PREMATURELY. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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.
