2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DOOR HANDLES, EXTERIOR, PASSENGER SIDE. PRODUCT DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FAILURE... OR BOTH. BOTH DOOR HANDLES HAVE FAILED. FIRST, THE REAR HANDLE BECAME DISCONNECTED INSIDE THE DOOR ALLOWING THE ENTIRE HANDLE ASSEMBLY TO ROTATE AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR, CAUSING THE HANDLE TO BECOME INOPERABLE. SECOND, THE FRONT PASSENGER EXTERIOR HANDLE, OPERABLE PORTION, CAME OFF COMPLETELY, RENDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER THE FRONT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FROM THE EXTERIOR. IT IS CLEAR FROM MULTIPLE INTERNET POSTS THIS IS A PRODUCT DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING FAILURE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THE PEELING CHROME LAYER THAT CAUSES PERSONAL INJURY. CHEVROLET AND ITS DEALERS ARE PROFITING FROM THIS DEFECT AT THE EXPENSE OF CONSUMERS. RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED! AND CONSUMERS WHO HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR SHOULD BE REIMBURSED 100%. *TR

THE MOLDED PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS AN 8" CRACK THAT BEGINS WHERE THE DASH MEETS THE WINDOW AREA AND EXTENDS UP TOWARDS THE DRIVER AND EXTENDS UP THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROUNDED PORTION OF THE DASH THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTATION. THE TRUCK IS GARAGED AND I USE A WINDOW SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE. UPON MUCH RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2007 TAHOE SPECIFICALLY, DEALER CONFIRMED, WITH DASHBOARD CRACKING IN THE EXACT LOCATION I IDENTIFIED ABOVE AS WELL AS ON THE RIGHT SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE PLASTIC IS DEFECTIVE IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND ALTHOUGH IT IS INITIALLY THOUGHT OF AS COSMETIC (STILL NO EXCUSE), MOST IMPORTANTLY I FEAR THAT THE COMPROMISED DASH WILL COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SHOULD IT BE NEEDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO CHEVY WHICH I HAVE DONE AND A RECALL MUST BE DEMANDED TO MITIGATE ANY AIR BAD DEPLOYMENT CONCERNS AS WELL AS TO RESOLVE THE TERRIBLE COSMETIC DEFECT. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND AS I TOOK OFF THE STABILITRACK SAID IT NEED TO BE SERVICED AND THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. NOW 4 DAYS LATER I WAS IN THE CAR WASH PARKED WITH THE CAR RUNNING WHILE I WAS VACUUMING AND LOST ALL POWER AND STABILITRACK DID THE SAME THING. AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES OR SO I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN. THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A TRUE "FIX" AT THIS POINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 72 MPH ON HIGHWAY STABILITRAK LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE BOGGED DOWN WITH NO POWER. AFTER ALMOST GETTING HIT BY 2 SEMIS I GOT THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD.. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND CHEVY NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS.. SOMEONE IS GONNA GET KILLED. *TR

GM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH DASHBOARDS CRACKING NEAR WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLES. THERE IS ALSO CRACKING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT POD. ALL CRACKS ARE IN IDENTICAL AREAS OF THESE SAME MODEL YEARS AND NEWER. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES (2007 TAHOE AND 2007 AVALANCHE WITH THE SAME CRACKS AND WILL FILE TWO COMPLAINTS). *TR UPDATED 01/29/14

FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. NOTICING SUBSTANTIAL CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD INCLUDING NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SITE. COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE TEARING OF AIRBAG OR PLASTIC BEING THROWN TOWARDS PASSENGERS IF AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH CHROME PEELING FROM THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CAUSING CUTS TO THE HANDS WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY OR USED AS A WORK TRUCK. HAS ALSO BEEN GARAGE KEPT. *TR

DASH HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONE CRACK IN DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *TR

2 OF THE 4 DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF, THEY ARE CHROME AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THEM AND CHILDREN'S FINGERS GO BETWEEN THE HANDLE AND BODY OF THE CAR. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS SPECIFIC AUTOMOBILE. *TR

THERE ARE 2 CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE CRACK IS 2" LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE OTHER CRACK IS 7" LONG, DRIVER SIDE, "HUMP" ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. 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 HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TAHOES AND SIMILAR MODELS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS LINK FOR A VISUAL HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8&LIST=FLJGA62LGTEUQUMON7FZVC0Q&INDEX=40 PLEASE SEE FACEBOOK GROUP BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND AS WELL HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ IT WOULD APPEAR THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION AMONGST 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. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND WHEN EXITING FREEWAY. TRUCK STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND TRACTION /STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. ENGIEN LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT A YEAR. ALL THEY DO IS RESET SYSTEM AND COMES RIGHT BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER. IT BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. BOUGHT IT IN 06 AND PAID IT OFF IN 08. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN GIVING ME MANY PROBLEM SINCE 09. I EVEN HAVE A CRAKE ON DASH BOARD ALL THE WAY TO AIR BAG SINCE 08. DEALER SAID NO RECALLS AND IS DUE TO SUN! BULL.... I HAVE BEEN READING ON-LINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE SIMALIER PROBLEMS. *TR
