2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MY CHILD ATTEMPTED TO OPEN REAR DOOR ON MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. ONE SIDE OF THE HANDLE BROKE, THUS PULLING ONE SIDE AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND PINCHING HER HAND SOMEHOW! THIS IS THE 2ND HANDLE TO BREAK ON THIS VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY WENT TO OPEN MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND IT BROKE RIGHT OFF! WHAT IF WE WERE IN A CRASH AND NEEDED TO BE PULLED OUT AND THE DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF?!? VERY DANGEROUS! UPON INVESTIGATING THIS DEFECT I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON INCIDENT! SEE FOLLOWING LINK HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/TRFOG7J2EOKH998G2 I HOPE WE CAN SEE A RECALL OUT OF THIS! *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE 8-16-11. I CUT MY LEFT MIDDLE FINGER ON THE CHROME DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR HANDLE 8-17-11. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE DISCOVERED ALL THE HANDLES ON THE VEHICLE ARE PEELING AND VERY SHARP. WE HAVE A SMALL CHILD & I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT HE WILL ALSO START CUTTING HIS HANDS WHEN OPENING/CLOSING THE DOORS. I FEEL AS THOUGH WE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE HANDLES TO BE SLICING OUR FINGERS OPEN. *KB

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ PRACTICALLY BROKE OFF IN MY HAND WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD THAT HANDLES BREAK APART AND ENTRY INTO THE CAR COULD BE A PROBLEM SHOULD THEIR BE AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES WERE BRAKING. 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 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE DOOR HANDLE DETACHES FROM THE DOOR! I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES NOW! IT COSTS $170 TO REPAIR AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

2007 CHEVY TAHOE WITH CHROME EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE BROKE OFF. HAS SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY TO PINCH FINGERS. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE ALSO LOOSE. WAS INFORMED THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED! *KB

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WITH RPM AT 2000 RPM, THE 2007 TAHOE SURGED, JERKED IF YOU WILL, AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TELLING THE VEHICLE IT WAS GOING TOO SLOW. HITTING THE BRAKES DID NOT DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL. ENGINE RACED TO 4000 RPM AND LOCKED AT 4000 RPM! SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTED VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THE NEXT PERSON THIS HAPPENS TO WILL BE AS LUCKY. HAD TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO REDUCE ENGINE RPM FROM THE 4000 RPM IT WAS LOCKED ON. CALLED ON STAR AND INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY RAN A TEST WHICH INDICATED NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART ON FIRST FOUR ATTEMPTS. DISABLED CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL, WHICH WAS GLOWING YELLOW, AND THE ENGINE STARTED. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTED, FILE 71-965035291 AND GM REFUSED TO REPLACE CRUISE CONTROL AS THE LOCAL DEALER IN SAN ANGELO TX INDICATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. IF SHOULD BE NOTED IT WAS 104 DEGREES AND THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER AN HOUR AND 100 MILES WITH THE VEHICLE LOADED WITH 5 PEOPLE AND LUGGAGE. THE LOCAL DEALER DID NOT DUPLICATE THE EXACT CONDITIONS AND INSTEAD DID A TEST DRIVE OF 60 MILES WITHOUT THE LOAD OR HIGH TEMPERATURE. TALKED TO SARAH AT 866 790 8601 EXT 12869 AND SHE PASSED ME ON TO VICTORIA, DAVID, AND THEN BACK TO VICTORIA. I AM AN EQUIPMENT ENGINEER AND VICTORIA DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE. GM DID NOT TAKE MY OFFER TO REMOVE MY CRUISE CONTROL SO THEY COULD BENCH TEST THE UNIT AND ADD HEAT TO DRIVE THE FAULTY COMPONENT TO FAIL. GM, SPECIFICALLY VICTORIA, WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW THIS LACK OF ACTION BY CHEVY/GM SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THE DESCRIPTION I HAVE PROVIDED IS ACCURATE.

I HAVE A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM NOT READING CORRECTLY,IT REGISTERS SOME GAS IN THERE WHEN THERE IS NO GAS IN THERE. I CAN PUT 20.00 DOLLARS OF GAS IN THERE, BUT IT WILL NOT REGISTER THAT WHICH I JUST PUT IN THERE, THEN SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS MORE, I'M NOT GETTING ACCURATE READINGS FROM MY GAS GAUGE *KB

I AM WRITING TO ADVISE A COMPLAINT REGARDING OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ DOOR HANDLES. IN APRIL 2011, THE OUTSIDE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME PARTIALLY UNATTACHED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE HANDLE CAME LOOSE ONLY ON ONE SIDE (THE FAR LEFT) LEAVING IT ATTACHED FROM ONLY THE FAR RIGHT. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER WITHIN THE LAST WEEK. THAT IS 2 HANDLES IN 2 MONTHS. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER PINCHED HER FINGER IN THE UNATTACHED SPACE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE CHARGING $172 PER HANDLE FOR THE REPAIRS. VEHICLE IS A 2007 WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. *KB

2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS FAULTY CHROME DOOR HANDLES OWNED THE SUV FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. ALL 4 HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT WITH THE SAME FAULTY HANDLES. RECENTLY THE DRIVERS HANDLE BROKE AGAIN. THIS TIME MY HUSBAND HAD TO TIE AND HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED US TO PAY FOR THE LAST 2 B/C IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT'S A ONE TIME COMP. THE NEXT TIME WE WILL HAVE TO PAY. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE CHROME HANDLES. THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGN. *TR
