2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES BROKE OFF FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOW CONTROL PANEL BURNED, CAUSING THE POWER WINDOW UNIT TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE CONTROL PANEL WITH PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 5:30 AM TO GO TO A CHARITY EVENT 5K RUN. SHE WAS GOING 40MPH, ON A STREET THAT HAD NO TRAFFIC ON IT THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING, WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE, ALL THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I CONTACTED GM CENTRAL OFFICE, THEY DID AN INVESTIGATION, THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT, THAT THE COMPUTER ON THE TAHOE SAID IT WAS ABOUT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT SO THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I TOLD HIM THE COMPUTER WAS EVIDENTLY WRONG SINCE MY WIFE WAS NOT ABOUT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. HE SAID THAT THE TAHOE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AS IT SHOULD. I ASKED HIM AGAIN IF IT WAS NORMAL FOR AIRBAGS JUST TO DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN WITH NO EVIDENCE OF AN ACCIDENT AND IF THE COMPUTER "SAID" SO, THEN EVIDENTLY THE COMPUTER IS WRONG AND FAULTY AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.. HE SAID GM WILL NOT ADMIT ANY FAULT AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. I AM SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIFIC WRECK AND PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT KILLED. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERS TESTED IT OUT AND REPLACED THE SENSOR AND IT STILL DID NOT FIX IT. NOW THEY WANT US TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO RUN THE TEST AND HAVE THEM FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I AM READING A LOT OF BLOGS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THEY HAVEN'T ISSUED A RECALL ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR

BOTH OF MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN CUT SEVERAL TIMES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY THE PEELING OF THE CHROME ON THE DOOR HANDLES IN THE BACK SEATS. THE DASH IS CRACKING WHICH I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT ON MANY MANY 2007 GM SUV'S. WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS SINCE IT HAPPENS TO BE A BIG COMPLAINT BY MANY OWNERS. *TR

THE DASH HAS MAJOR CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG AND ON TOP OF THE DASH IN THE AREA OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN APRIL 2010, HAD THE DASH REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY APPROXIMATELY SEPT/OCT 2010. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2012. SAME CRACKS IN DASH AROUND AIRBAG. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THESE CRACKS COMPROMISE THE AIRBAG IN ANY WAY. OR IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WILL THE DASH PIECES BECOME AIRBORNE PROJECTILES. HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM AND WHILE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DASH CRACKING, THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECT IN THE DASH. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH PROVIDES SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THESE SAME CRACKS OCCURRING IN MANY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES, AVALANCHES, AND 2007 GMC YUKONS. YES, I COULD PAY TO HAVE A NEW DASH INSTALLED BUT IT WILL BE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART THAT WILL CRACK AGAIN CAUSING THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

ALL 4 OF MY EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE COME UNATTACHED ON AT LEAST ONE END. THIS STARTED BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED BUT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN SO I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. 2 THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BY DEALER HAVE BROKEN AGAIN. DEALER QUOTES $300+ TO MAKE THIS REPAIR, ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM. CANT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED YET AS I AM FINDING SO MANY OTHERS WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SWITCH FRIED ON OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT. IT LITERALLY BURNED A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE SWITCH WHERE THE TWO CIRCUIT BOARDS COME TOGETHER. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT THE ENTIRE CAR DID NOT GO UP IN FLAMES. I'VE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE 2006-2007 CHEVY TRIALBLAZERS AND TOYOTA RAV4'S HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF SOME SORT IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE AND POTENTIALLY CATCH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE ON FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO DRIVE. THE CONTACT WAS ONLY ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. PREVIOUSLY, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING, THE RPM READING WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY WIFE AND I WAS DRIVING ON A ASPHALT COUNTRY ROAD TRAVELING AROUND 40 MPH AND BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE ROOF TOP AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE DIDN'T SWERVE OR TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN ANYWAY. WE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR
