2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A KNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. I JUST HAD MY TAHOE AT THE DEALER LAST WEEK FOR STRANGE CLACKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THEY STATED I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT DID IT AGAIN. YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE AND MY TAHOE APPEARED POSSESSED. DOOR LOCKS, GEARING SHIFTING WAS AFFECTED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND STEER DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS RISK TO OTHERS AROUND ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TURNING TO THE INTERNET AND FINDING THAT I AM ONE OF WHAT IS PROBABLY THOUSANDS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE MAKES MY EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, NTSB AND NOW WITH THE STATE OF NC IMMEDIATELY. NOT ONLY HAVE WE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE LONG DEALT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT GM CONTINUES TO SAY IS "NORMAL" CONSUMPTION. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN GM AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING MAJOR COMPONENT ISSUES. WE ALSO OWN A JEEP WRANGLER AND THEY ARE BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANYTIME WE HAVE AN ADDRESSABLE ISSUE. *LN

THERE WERE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AND GM REPLACED AT NO CHARGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEW DASH DEVELOPED ANOTHER CRACK...THIS TIME IT IS A FAIRLY LARGE PIECE THAT HAS SPLIT AND COULD FALL OUT. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE IT IF I WOULD PAY A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. I REFUSED AS THE INITIAL DASH PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY PERIOD. THE FACT THAT IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN WHILE BEING NO MORE THAN 2 YEARS OLD IS INDICATIVE OF A MATERIAL DEFECT ON THEIR PART. I HAVE "NEVER" HAD A DASH IN ANY VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED (FORD, NISSAN, MAZDA) CRACK EXCEPT FOR GM. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT PIECES OF A GM DASH WILL NOT FLY INSIDE THE CABIN OF A VEHICLE AND STRIKE SOMEONE SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE. THERE ARE WELL OVER 200 PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK COMPLAINING ABOUT THE INFERIOR DASH QUALITY OF SOME GM VEHICLES AND ARE FRUSTRATED THAT GM HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE ALSO MEANS THAT I TAKE A FINANCIAL HIT SHOULD I TRY TO SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DASH. GM IS WRONG. *JB

THERE ARE DASHBOARD CRACKS IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS 2? LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF ITS AN ANOMALY. IT ISN'T. I AM A MEMBER OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WHO CURRENTLY HAS 250 MEMBERS AND HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION AMONG HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS. I AM WORRIED THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH IS A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. I CAN IMAGINE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP WHO HAVE HAD 3 DASHES REPLACED BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECT. PLEASE REFER TO THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO WHERE IT SHOWS THE CRACKS ON SEVERAL GMC AND CHEVY AUTOS. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8 PLEASE SEE THE FACEBOOK GROUP FOR MORE CONFIRMATION AND INFORMATION ON THE DEFECT. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ CURRENTLY THE NHTSA HAS 98 COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE RELATING TO THE DASH CRACKS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHVEHICLES ALSO MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME UP AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I ASKED IF THE CRACK IN THE DASH ON AIR BAG AFFECTS THAT AND THEY ALSO REPLIED THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CODE JUST SAYS SOMEWHERE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BRAKES. *JB

THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT BOTH BROKE OFF. ALSO, THE CHROME ON THE INSIDE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S FRONT IS CRACKING OFF THE DOOR HANDLES AND I SLICED MY LEFT HAND PRETTY BADLY. CONSIDERING THIS IS A $55,000+ VEHICLE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL. *TR

WENT TO DINNER AND DROVE HOME WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, STOPPED AND BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD. SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE RPM'S RACED TO 4K AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN. NO DRIVE, OR 3RD. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE IT IN REVERSE AND SLIGHTLY IN 2ND BUT HAD TO STRAIN UP HILL TO GET OUR CAR AND KIDS HOME IN THE DARK IN 1ST GEAR. GOT HOME AND CHECKED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN FLUSHED 14K MILES AGO AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION NOT CAUSING THIS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS PINK, CLEAN AND MEASURED WHERE IT SHOULD ON THE DIPSTICK. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET IN WHICH PEOPLE HAD THE SAME NO FORWARD MOVEMENT IN 3 OR 4 BUT 1, 2 AND REV. OK. FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE 4L60E TRANSMISSION THAT GM HAS PRODUCED DUE TO A FAULTY FORWARD SPRAG COMPONENT THAT WAS BUILT WITH CHEAP STAMPED METAL AND THEY RELEASED A TSB PERTAINING TO AN UPDATED COMPONENT! I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH TAHOE AND HAVE MADE IT TO 113K MILES ON MY TRANSMISSION. IM BEING CHALLENGED TO PROVIDE RECORDS OF MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE BEING DONE. I HAVE WORKED FOR A CAR DEALER AS A SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 10+ YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED ALL OF MY PARTS FROM A GM DEALER TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WOULD RUN AND DRIVE PROPERLY. I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH THOUGH TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP LABOR RATE AS I HAVE ONE OF MY TECHNICIAN TO PERFORM MY SERVICES REGULARLY. I JUST PURCHASED FLUID FROM OUR GM DEALER AND HAD A COMPLETE TRANS FLUSH AT 100K MILES LIKE RECOMMENDED BY GM. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS CAUSING A TSB RELEASE WERE NOT DUE FOR TRANS SERVICE YET! IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE BUT FROM POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT GM CLAIMS ARE BUILT TO LAST! JUNK! *TR

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN MY TAHOE WHICH GIVES ME EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IF I WERE IN A COLLISION THE DASH WOULD BREAK APART AND SEND PROJECTILES INTO ME OR MY FAMILY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMT900 SERIES VEHICLES AND GM WILL DO NOTHING!!! *TR

THE MONITOR OR SENSOR OF THE CAR WAS NOT DETECTING IF THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING ACCURATELY. IT IS NOT DETECTING THE PRESSURE OF THE TIRE. SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP PARTICULARLY TO SALESPERSON WHO SOLD US THE CAR. HE SAID, IT DOES IT SOMETIMES. WHEN WE ARE FILLIN IN ITS GAS TANK, IT SHUTS OFF THE GAS NOZZLE AFTER A GALLON OR TWO, WHICH IS ACTUALLY STRANGE, SO WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT'S PROBABLY THE GAS STATION. WE TALK TO THE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY ARE NOT SHUTTING THE GAS NOZZLE OFF. WE OCCASIONALLY HEAR ITS CREAKING SOUND WHEN WE DRIVE IT, AND WHEN WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT IS JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T USE A BRAKE PAD THAT'S WHY. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SOMETIMES MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNING, BUT THEIR COMMENT IS UNABLE TO VERIFY THE CAUSE AT THIS TIME. I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH THE CAR EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER DIDN'T LIKE IT, AND UNTIL NOW THEY STILL CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP US OUT. THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED, BUT WHY THEY DIDN'T FIXED THEM WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO THEM A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. THE CAR IS JUST 23,000 MILES THOUGH IT'S A 2007 MODEL, BECAUSE WE CAN'T USE IT ALL THE TIME. WE ARE NOT THAT CONFIDENT TO BRING IT ALL THE TIME AND PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. RIGHT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, I HAVE RENEWED ITS REGISTRATION ALREADY, BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD HOPING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL DO SOME CORRECTIONS WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ALREADY EXPIRED. WE KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS THE EMISSION TEST BECAUSE ITS ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE'VE BEEN TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES BUT THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, EVEN IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND JUST WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THEY WILL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO US. *TR

YES I AM WRITING TO SAY THAT WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ AND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE FALLING OFF. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY ARE COMING OFF LIKE THIS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING OUT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.. I AM THINKING THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT FORWARD TOWARDS THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS.... THANKS IN ADVANCE *TR

MY DAUGHTER WHO IS SIX YEARS WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHEN THE HANDLE CAME OFF THE BODY OF THE CAR. *TR

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING LOOSE. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLES. THEY STILL OPEN THE DOOR BUT I AM AFRAID THEY WILL BREAK OFF COMPLETELY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR
