2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

SLICED FINGER FOR THE SECOND TIME. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I CALLED THE DEALER HE SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK AND NEVER DID. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE AND REQUEST INFORMATION ON RECALLS, SERVICE BULLETINS, WARRANTIES OR LEMON LAW *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ON HILLS, THE STARTER WOULD HANG, THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE AC COMPRESSOR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, IT CONTINUED TO HESITATE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AS WELL AS A VIBRATION. THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE IDLE NEEDLE WOULD RISE, WHILE AT A STOP, THE BATTERY DRAINED, THE ENGINE STALLED, THE DASH WAS CRACKED, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES, THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WAS INOPERABLE, THE WEATHER STRIP HAD COME OFF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE U-JOINT. *JB

THE INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BEGAN TO PEEL. THE CHROME PLATING DID NOT LOOK DANGEROUS UNTIL MY GIRLFRIEND SLICED HER INDEX FINGER OPEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE BEING CUT WITH A SHARP POCKET KNIFE. *TR

DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING CHROME COVERING OFF OF INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CAUSING A PERSON PULLING ON THE HANDLE TO EXIT VEHICLE TO CUT THEIR FINGERS ON THE SHARP EDGE OF THE CHROME. *TR

WHILE I WAS GETTING MY INTERIOR HANDLES REPAIRED SINCE THEY HAVE CRACKED, I WAS MADE AWARE THAT ONE OF MY DOOR HANDLES WAS FALLING OFF. THE INTERIOR HANDLES ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON TAHOES AND A QUICK "GOOGLE" SEARCH CONFIRMED THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. I HAD TO PAY $160 TO REPAIR THE HANDLE. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR 50 MINUTES. PARKED TURNED THE IGNITION OFF FOR 30 MINUTES. NEXT NEIGHBOR KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND SAID "YOUR TAHOE IS ON FIRE". WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE WE COULD NOT PUT THE FLAMES OUT. FIRE DEPARTMENT TOOK ONLY FIVE MINUTES TO GET THERE. ONCE THE FIRE WAS OUT WE NOTICED THAT THE TAHOE WAS TOTALED. FROM THE NAKED EYE IT LOOKS LIKE THE ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER. THERE'S HUGE HOLE IN THE DASHBOARD BEHIND THE LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER. I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 65 DAYS. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THE 2007 TAHOE. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT APPEARS TO BE UNSAFE IN HEAD ON COLLISION. IF YOU REFERENCE CHEVROLET FORUMS-TAHOE WEBSITE YOU WILL SEE 45 PAGES OF FAILURES AND GM IS VERY SELECTIVE ON WHOM THEY WILL REPLACE OR DENY. *TR

I HAVE AN 07 TAHOE AND HAVE READ FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF OTHERS AS WELL. I HAD MY TRUCK INSPECTED AT THE CHEVY DEALER IN LAKE ELSINORE. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS AND THOUGHT THAT CLEANING MY INTAKE SYSTEM WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS FINE FOR ONE DAY THEN OUT OF NOWHERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY STABILITY TRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER . I HAD MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE TRUCK AND FIND IT FUNNY THAT I GUESS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES BUT THE SAME YEAR GMC YUKONS. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS ONE AND THEY WERE NEAR SEMI TRUCKS. THIS IS NOT GOOD EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THE DEALER CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS BUT WANTS TO TRY EVERYTHING. THAT IS WRONG. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE HAPPEN AND EVEN WORSE WHEN THE DEALER WANTS TO SAY THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY SURE BUT FIND OUT FROM READING ABOUT OTHERS VEHICLES LIKE MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO HELP. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 TAHOE WITH A MILEAGE OF JUST OVER 77K, THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON JUST AS THE FIRST OIL CHANGE WAS DUE(3K MILES). IT WAS APPROXIMATELY A QUART LOW. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT IT HAD JUST CHANGED THE OIL SO I THOUGHT, "MAYBE THEY JUST DIDNT PUT ENOUGH IN." TOOK IT TO LOCAL STATION THAT I GET ALL MY WORK DONE AT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS DUE AGAIN ALMOST A QUART LOW. I PUT MORE OIL IN AND CHANGED AGAIN AT 83086. AT 86147 LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WAS 1 1/4 QTS LOW, SO I ADDED MORE OIL. THEN AT 87098 WE WERE LEAVING TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP SO I CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS 1/4 QT LOW. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE ACCORDING TO ONLINE REPORTS. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TO ADD THIS MUCH OIL TO THE VEHICLE IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF MILEAGE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY AND CAUSED THE SEAT BELTS TO TIGHTEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SPEAK WITH THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY IN REGARD TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
