2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT. WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND MADE A TURN. THE TAHOE LOSS POWER AND STALLED. THE COMPUTER READ REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND STABILITY TRAK OFF. THIS IS BOTHERSOME BEING THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME. AFRAID OF POSSIBLE ACCIDENT OR WORSE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A STATE HIGHWAY TO AN EVENT. THIS WAS THE SECOND DAY OF THE EVENT, SO I HAD TRAVELED THE SAME ROAD THE DAY PRIOR. I SLOWED TO CROSS RAILROAD TRACKS. WHILE CROSSING THE TRACKS, THE FRONT AND MIDDLE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDES. THE FORCE OF THE DEPLOYMENT ALSO CRACKED AREAS AROUND THE INTERIOR WALLS AND BLEW OUT THE REAR OVERHEAD LIGHT. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT, BUT SOMETHING STRUCK ME ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD AT THE TIME OF THE DEPLOYMENT. FORTUNATELY, I HAD SLOWED TO CROSS THE TRACKS OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,753.

NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASH BOARD RIGHT ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER. HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THEIR VEHICLES DASH WAS FULL OF CRACKS AND DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE. I FOUND BLOGS AND VIDEOS THROUGH OUT THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE ALL AROUND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THE NEXT CRACK IN THE DASH I WILL SEE WILL BE ON THE CORNER OF THE DASH AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I'M AFRAID THIS COULD AFFECT THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CORNER ABOVE THE AIRBAG. DASH HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO STRESS / PRESSURE. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY INDIVIDUALS ONLINE. I FEAR THAT THIS CRACK WILL EXPAND AND CAN POTENTIALLY AFFECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ITSELF. AS THIS VEHICLE IS A '07 MODEL, IT SHOULD NOT CRACK AFTER LESS THAN 5 YEARS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD CRACKING NEAR THE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT SHE NEEDED A NEW DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS LATER CONTACTED AND STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THAT COMPONENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE BATTERY CABLES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REQUISITIONED A THIRD PARTY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER 10V240000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE DRIVER INFORMATION COMPUTER SCREEN AND PRND321 LIGHTS HAVE FAILED. THE DASHBOARD INSIDE HAS CRACKED IN TWO AREAS. *TR

CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONCERNS LIKE SO MANY OTHER GM CUSTOMERS. THERE IS A CRACK THAT IS AT THE AIRBAG, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THAT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER. CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY, OR NOT WORK AT ALL. HAVE CONTACTED GM CORPORATE SEVERAL TIMES TELLING THEM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING IN THIS SAME AREA. WHEN CONTACTING GM THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE COMPLAIN ONLINE. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN BY USING ARMORALL, IN THAT CASE THE WHOLE CONSOLE WOULD BE CRACKED AND NOT IN CERTAIN PLACES WHERE ALL OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE SEEING THE SAME EXACT CRACKS. ACTUALLY THE ENTIRE CONSOLE IS AFFECTED WITH SEVERAL CRACKS. IF GM WAS NOT AWARE, HOW COME SOME OF THEIR CUSTOMERS CONSOLES HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT BY THE DEALERSHIP? MORE THAN ONCE. THEY TELL ME BECAUSE OF THE MODEL AND THE MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT QUALIFY. THIS IS A MATERIAL ISSUE PLUS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT AFFECTS THE STABILITY OF AN AIRBAG. THERE ARE EVEN VIDEOS ON U TUBE THAT SHOWS A VISUAL PICTURE. *TR

THE OIL LEVEL LOW LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. HE ALSO HAS A 2007 TAHOE. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. HE HAS SEEN THIS MANY TIMES IN THE 2007 TAHOE, APPARENTLY THEY BURN OIL AND IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF THE PISTON AND PISTON RING. THE DEALER PAID FOR HIS TAHOE TO BE FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT GM NOW USES A MINIMUM PARTICIPATION FINANCIAL CALCULATOR AND GM WOULD ONLY PAY FOR 45% OF THE COST TO REPAIR, LEAVING ME WITH A $1,705.10 REPAIR BILL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE REPAIR COST DOWN TO $850. HOWEVER, THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE NOT EVEN FINISHED PAYING FOR THE CAR AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. I THINK GM NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND REPAIR THEIR FLAWED 2007 TAHOES. GM CLEARLY KNOWS OF THE FLAW AS THEY REDESIGNED THE 2008 PISTON AND PISTON RING. *TR
