2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR EXTERIOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLES BECAME FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME HANDLE WAS PEELING AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

THE REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAD BROKEN OFF. IT WAS ORIGINALLY REPAIRED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER; HOWEVER IT BROKE AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT HAS SINCE BROKEN ABOUT 10 TIMES AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS WAS A $55K VEHICLE BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2007. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AS PEOPLE CAN BREAK IN. IN ADDITION, IT'S NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOOR AS THE HANDLE SEPARATES FROM THE BODY AND PUSHES BACK IN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CHILD'S HAND TO GET CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HANDLE. *TR

RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF OF DOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE WITH AROUND 52,000 MILES. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2007 TAHOE IN AUGUST 2012. SINCE THIS TIME, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL STARTING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. A JUMP START OR BOOST WILL OFTEN ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN AVAILABLE BOOST. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS, FAMILY VACATIONS, WORK, AND OUR KIDS GAMES OR PRACTICES. AS NOTED IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, THE STARTING PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THERE ARE TIMES A BOOST WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, WE EVEN BEGAN TO LOSE POWER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING A FAMILY VACATION THIS PAST SUMMER. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING ISSUE FOR GM AND THEIR APPARENT INABILITY OR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE STARTING / LOSS OF POWER PROBLEMS, A CRACKED DASH AND FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINTS, IT MAY LIKELY BE A BATTERY CABLE ISSUE. GM MUST RECALL THIS KNOWN PROBLEM!!! *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK IS NEAR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SPACE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RUNS FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG HAVING DIFFICULTY DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT OR PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD BREAKING AWAY IN IT'S CURRENT STATE THAT MAY TURN INTO PROJECTILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR EXTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED UPON ENGAGEMENT. THE CHROME HANDLE PINCHED THE CONTACT'S RIGHT FINGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STABLE TRACK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE BETWEEN DEFROST VENT AND PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG. THEN IT CRACKED ABOVE THE GAUGES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WHICH NOW HAS STARTED RUNNING TOWARD DRIVER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WILL SHATTER IF EITHER OF THE AIR BAGS EXPLODE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG 2007 GM TAHOES, SUBURBANS AND YUKONS. THE LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AFFECTING VAST NUMBERS OF VEHICLES. *TR

MY CHEVY TAHOE HAS HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE IN 2007. THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER 2500 MILES AFTER A RECENT SERVICE AND STATED THAT THE LEVEL IS LOW. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO STATE IT IS "NORMAL" OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM.
