Bonjour j'habite en France et procède un Chevrolet Tahoe V8 5,3 de 2007. il fait partie de la liste des véhicule dont l'air bag doit être remplacé et aucun garage en France ne veut faire la réparation et prise en charge. Pouvez-vous me dire comme et vers qui me tourner pour que le remplacement de cet Air bag puisse être pris en charge et réparer? Merci d'avance Cordialement Mr Lamy

The driver side dash has a large crack that appeared all of a sudden. This is apparently an on going issue with many complaints filed due to cheap plastic parts.
Aug 17, 2022
The dashboard has multiple cracks back to front across its length. It could shatter in the event of an accident.
Mar 30, 2022
My dashboard is severely cracked, I called GM to order a new dashboard and they don't have the parts. First this shouldn't happen, GM should own up to the issue and create a part that doesn't have the issue. Second they don't even have the existing part to fix the issue. I called a local dealership (Simi Valley Chevrolet) who wouldn't even give me the part numbers as they said it was against their policy to not give out part numbers. I don't know how a consumer is supposed to fix their vehicle with manufacturer who doesn't make a part any longer and a dealer who doesn't give the information to find another one.

I PURCHASED MY TAHOE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND IT ALREADY HAD A CRACKED DASH, BUT WAS MINOR. ONE SMALL CRACK BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND ONE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG EXTENDS FROM THE AIRBAG PANEL TO THE EDGE OF THE DASH WHERE IT JOINS TO THE FRONT SECTION OF THE DASH. THE DRIVER SIDE CRACK EXTENDS FROM THE SAME EDGE, UP TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL, ALMOST TO THE EDGE CLOSEST TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN UTAH. IT WAS OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO LIVED IN THE NORTHEAST, THEN MOVED TO UTAH, AND THEN I MOVED TO KENTUCKY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED AND CONTINUES DESPITE THE LOCATION, OR THE TEMPERATURE. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE DUE TO NOT BEING SUPPORTED FROM THE UNDERSIDE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
57 complaints
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the power steering became soft, and the vehicle started to lose forward momentum. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the engine failed to respond, and the vehicle continued to lose forward momentum. The contact stated that the check engine and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over and turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle started to function normally. The contact stated the failure had been intermittent but had become a recurring failure while driving at various speeds. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the failure was with the electrical system; however, there was no fix for the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

UNKNOWN: The heater-AC blower wire harness female clip and has melted three times with replacement parts. While it was on I was feeling for it and I can feel a strong pulsing so it has a lot of power. The wire harness gauge is week and small. Cheap parts the manufacturer made on a budget. I have heard many complaints and and worries from others that feel it can catch on fire and would be a dangerous distraction driving the freeway while it starts to melt it is a strong obnoxious fume and smells like it an catch fire. Also if you loose your heater on the freeway in the cold your windows fog up.

OUR CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100K MILES AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING TO THE SPEEDOMETER AS WELL AS RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC... WE EVEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO IS ALSO HAVING TROUBLES FIGURING IT OUT.

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

The oil keeps disappearing in the car I fill it with 7 Quartz of oil and two months or less it’s all gone I heard there was a issue with this before but no recall my engine almost blew two weeks after a oil change I thought that’s wrong I have oil so I had it reset then three months later my engine was ticking so I took it in and there was no oil they put 7 more quartz of oil and no again it’s all gone I had more put back in and I think this should be a recall I called the dealer and they said they won’t do anything unless I pay for it to be fixed but it’s been a known issue for years and they don’t do nothing about it I am a young person that doesn’t have $3,000 to pay to fix this issue I believe Chevy should.

OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE HAS HAD TO HAVE 2 DOOR HANDLES REPLACED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HANDLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE PIECE WHICH CONNECTS THE HANDLE TO THE DOOR SNAPS ALLOWING IT TO MOVE FREELY FROM THE DOORS. THESE INCIDENTS BOTH OCCURRED WHEN THE PERSON ENTERING THE VEHICLE TRIED TO PULL ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ONE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO MY WIFE OPENING THE DOOR AND THE OTHER OCCURRED WHEN A 14 YEAR OLD TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR. WE HAVE HAD IT REPLACED ONCE AND NOW HAVE TO DO THE SAME AGAIN. SINCE THIS IS A $400 EXPENDITURE WITH PARTS AND SERVICE EACH TIME. THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OURSELVES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE STAB TRAC WARNING POPS UP ON THE MESSAGE WINDOW AND WE LOSE POWER. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE GARAGE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK. AS PER ONLINE RECORDS OF THIS VEHICLE IT APPEARS SHELBY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT EITHER. I'M TIRED OF JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT AND WANT TO FIX IT PERMANENTLY. EVERY TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN A WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AT AT LEAST ABOVE SPECIES OF 40 MILES AN HOUR AND TO BE HONEST IT'S MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THEN YOU CAN ONLY GO 10 TO 15 MPH.

MY SUV GAS HAND DOESN'T WORK. CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT GAS HAND DROPS TO LOW FUEL AND STAYS THERE UNTIL NO GAS IN THE SUV
Dec 03, 2018
THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP RUSTS OUT. THE FUEL TANK HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HOLDS WATER AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE TANK RUST OUT AND CAUSES GAS AND FUMES TO ESCAPE THE TANK. FUEL WILL SPRAY ONTO EXHAUST AND UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. ALSO EXCESSIVE FUEL VAPORS ESCAPE THE TANK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO GM OF THE PROBLEM BUT GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY MONETARY GAIN I SIMPLY WANT GM TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. SOME PEOPLE REPORTED THE PROBLEM BEFORE 100,000 MILES AND NEARLY ALL PROBLEMS OCCUR BEFORE 150,000.
Jun 24, 2017
MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK AT THE DISCHARGE OF THE FUEL PUMP. THE LEAK OCCURRED ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK DIRECTLY BELOW THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE LEAK SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER THE GAS TANK AND BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK BODY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ATOMIZED FUEL STARTING ON FIRE. THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE LEAK OCCURRED. I NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, I PULLED OVER AND GAS WAS DRIPPING OFF OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL LINE DEPRESSURIZED AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND CONTINUED TO SPRAY GAS FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS.

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

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT UNLOCKS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO LATCH. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD OR DRIVING THIS HAPPENS DAILY.

MY DRIVERS SEAT BELT WILL ONLY LATCH ONCE IN A WHILE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS RUNNING OR NOT NOR DOES IT MATTER WEATHER IT IS MOVING OR NOT.
Feb 12, 2018
AFTER BUCKLING THE SAFETY BELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE , MY WIFE AND I TUG ON THE LATCH SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE IT IS ENGAGED. WHILE DRIVING THE SEATBELT LATCH WILL BECOME DISENGAGED BY ITS SELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND SEAMS TO INCREASE IN FREQUENCY WHILE DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD. I CALLED THE 800-630-2438 FOR CHEVY RECALLS BUT THE MAN IN THE PHILIPPIANS DID NOT ACT LIKE HE WAS INTERESTED IN WHAT I HAD TO SAY. HE DID GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER OF 8-2177870626. I DID TELL HIM THAT I WOULD BE FILING A SAFETY REPORT. I WOULD GUESS THE MANUFACTURE USED CHEEP PLASTIC PARTS WHERE A STURDY METAL PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED. WITH THIS LATCH OPENING WHILE DRIVING THEN HOW IS IT GOING TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS DURING AN ACCIDENT?
Jun 20, 2016
ON THURSDAY MAY 19TH AT 8:35 PM, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I-696W WHEN MY DRIVER'S SEATBELT BELT DISENGAGED AND RETRACTED ON ITS OWN. WHILE DRIVING, I IMMEDIATELY TRY TO RECONNECT THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO IN. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RECONNECT. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE BUCKLE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME IN MY GARAGE AND PRECEDED TO GET OUT, THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT COME OUT. I HAD TO STRUGGLE AND PULL ON THE SEATBELT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO PUSH THE BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER 10 MINUTES, I WAS FREE. THE NEXT MORNING (5/20/16) WHILE GOING TO WORK, THE SEATBELT CAME OUT AGAIN. IT WOULD GO IN AND IF I MOVED FORWARD, THE BELT WOULD DISENGAGE. MY SEATBELT CONTINUED TO SLIP OUT OF THE BUCKLE. AS OF MAY 23RD, MY SEATBELT WILL NOT EVEN GO INTO THE BUCKLE. I CANNOT ENGAGE THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT AT ALL!!

Bridgestone Dueler H/L P275/60R20 Alenza had a slow leak for about a year that I couldn't find. Today the sidewall completely brew out on the highway at 70 mph. There was no curb rash or noticeable physical damage anywhere on the sidewall prior to the sidewall failure.

Brand new tires installed on vehicle by Americas Tire store on 7/29/24. Received a phone call from our son 7/30/24 7pm of complete tire blow out on hwy. Lost control of vehicle but managed to pull off hwy where he proceeded to contact us as well as AAA. Took back in to Americas Tire said they would replace tire but had no explanation as to why this happened on a brand new tire. According to AAA a lot of tire manufacturers cutting corners producing defective tires.

RIGHT AT 2000 I NOTICED MY TIRES IN FRONT FEATHERING, CHEVROLET REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM, AND DEALERSHIP SAID TO ROTATE, NOW, THEY WANT ME TO PUT THE REAR TIRES ON FRONT, TO ONLY DO THE SAME THING, NOW I HAVE OVER 6,000 MILES, AND ALREADY NEED NEW TIRES ON FRONT AS THEY WERE HORRIBLE AND GETTING VERY CHOPPY. IT WAS SAD FOR CHEVROLET TO IGNORE THIS. *AK

UPON NOTIFICATION BY ONSTAR TO ROTATE MY TIRES, AT 6500 MILES. I HAD THEM ROTATED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE "FEATHERED" (WEARING INCORRECTLY DUE TO SOME CHAMBER OR CASTER SETTING BEING INCORRECT). THE DEALER SAID HE HAD SEEN WORSE TIRE FEATHERING ON 07 TAHOE'S AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact was unable to refuel the vehicle, due to the filler pipe not allowing the vehicle to accept the fuel. The contact stated it took her 30 - 45 minutes to refill the vehicle. The contact also stated occasionally while refueling, the fuel would start to leak. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the evap system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 235,000.

May 12, 2011
2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE SHOWS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS GAUGE GOES CRAZY, BOUNCING FROM EMPTY TO FULL AND SOMETIMES LANDING ON A RANDOM READING. WHEN GAS GAUGE IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, VEHICLE SHOWS LOW FUEL, EVEN AFTER FILLING UP THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES AFTER FILLING UP, THE PROBLEM "RESOLVES" ITSELF - BUT OTHER TIMES, THE GAUGE IS STILL UNRELIABLE. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES AND CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD ONE RUN OUT OF GAS IN BUSY TRAFFIC OR IN AN UNSAFE AREA. *TR
Jun 16, 2009
THE GAS GAUGE IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE HAS DRASTIC FLUCTUATIONS AND MIS-READINGS. I CAN GET IN THE TRUCK, START IT AND THE GAUGE MAY READ 1/4-1/2 FULL AND THE ESTIMATED GAS RANGE MAY SAY 130 MILES. I CAN THEN TURN THE TRUCK OFF, RESTART IT, AND THE READING SOMETIMES GOES DOWN TO EMPTY AND I'LL GET A "LOW FUEL" WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN VERY REGULARLY, BUT MOST OFTEN WHEN THE TANK IS AROUND 1/4 FULL (OR SUPPOSED TO BE 1/4 FULL). THIS CREATES SITUATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I THINK I'VE GOT PLENTY OF TIME AND MILEAGE BEFORE HAVING TO FIND A GAS STATION. IF I STOP AT A REST STOP AND RESUME TRAVEL, MY READING MAY SUDDENLY GO TO LOW FUEL OR VERY LOW FUEL STATUS, IN THE MIDDLE OF NO-WHERE. MY SON IN LAW HAS A SIMILAR VEHICLE (2007, CADILLAC ESCALADE) BUILT ON THE SAME CHASSIS AND EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE, SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A PRODUCT DEFECT AT HAND. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE DIGITAL INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) HAS STOPPED WORKING. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE NON-DIGITAL GAUGES SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, ETC STILL WORK PROPERLY. ALL OF THE DIGITAL DISPLAYED INFO SUCH AS ODOMETER, GEAR SELECT, MPG, TIRE PSI, ETC, IS NO LONGER VISISBLE. THIS DEFECT/MALFUNCTION OCCURRED UNEXPECTEDLY ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. THE DEFECT/MALFUNCTION OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (NOT MOVING) IN MY DRIVEWAY. I SIMPLY GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY ON TO START THE ENGINE, AND THE DIC WAS NOTICEABLY BLANK. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS FOR INFO REGARDING REPAIRS,, AND I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THIS EXACT DEFECT/MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY COMMON AMONG 2007-2016 CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BY ISSUING A RECALL. ALSO, FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT ANY CAUSE, MY DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS ALSO A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, WOULD THEY DEPLOY PROPERLY? AND EVEN IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY PROPERLY, IM AFRAID SHARDS OF THE PLASTIC FROM DASHBOARD WILL SHOOT ALL OVER THE CAR RESULTING IN INJURY.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 CHEVY TAHOE IN JULY OF 2007. SEPTEMBER 2007 I HAD TO TAKE THE SUV IN TO HAVE THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CABLE REATTACHED TO THE REAR WINDOW, IT FELL OFF. AFTER DISCUSSING WITH SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT, THE WIRE WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND THE TENSION FROM OPENING THE REAR GLASS CAUSES THE CABLE TO BREAK FREE. THEY HAD A WINDOW COMPANY RE-ATTACH IT, ONE WEEK LATER, I WAS BACK IN AND A NEW REAR WINDOW WAS ORDERED. IN NOVEMBER 2008 I HAD THE CABLE BREAK FREE ON THE REPLACED REAR WINDOW, I HAD IT REPAIR, THAN THE OTHER SIDE DETACHED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISE THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED BASED ON THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE RELEASED SERVICE CORPORATION BULLETIN (#03-08-48-006E). I FEEL SINCE THIS BULLETIN WAS RELEASED, THIS IS A CONFESSION OF A DESIGN DEFECT AND THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE. THEY ORDERED A NEW WINDOW AND IT WAS CHARGED TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY, I HAD TO PAY 100.00. I FEEL THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A RECALL. *TR

WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH OUR FRONT WIPERS TURNING ON AND SQUIRTING WIPER FLUID IN THE OFF (YES THE OFF) POSITION WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO STOP THE WIPERS AND SQUIRTING FLUID. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR NEW SUV. IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN WE BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THERE WAS VERY DENSE WHITE SMOKE BEFORE THE WIPERS STARTED MOVING AND SHOOTING FLUID (ONCE AGAIN...IT WAS TOTALLY IN THE OFF POSITION!!!). NOW THE INTERMITTENT WIPER MODE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THESE OCCURRENCES ARE VERY, VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE! WE JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR OUR 2007 TAHOE BUT I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE FIRE RISK BECAUSE I KNOW WE DEFINITELY HAVE AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE RECALL. CAN WE GET THE RECALL FIXED BEFORE NOVEMBER 1, 2008 AND STILL HAVE IT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? THE LAST EPISODE WAS THIS MONTH. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE CHEVY TAHOE 2007 LTZ MODEL I OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLAIMED BY THOUSANDS OF OWNERS TO HAVE A FACTORY BAD DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS MADE WITH A VERY CHEAP AND UNSAFE PLASTIC. THIS PLASTIC CRACKS DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES FROM HEAT AND COLD. THE PLASTIC ALSO AFTER SOME TIME WILL CRACK AND DETERIORATE AGAIN DUE TO UNSAFE AND POOR PLASTIC MATERIAL. THE REMEDY IS TO PURCHASE A NEW DASHBOARD PANEL AND PAY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL LABOR TO INSTALL. THIS PRODUCT COST SHOULD BE SHARD AT A BARE MINIMUM BY GM DUE TO GOOD FAITH PRACTICES. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CLAIM REVIEWED AND PASSED ON TO GM FOR THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTING THIS UNSAFE FACTORY PLASTIC DASHBOARD. THE AIRBAGS CAN CREATE AND CAUSE A HIGHLY UNSAFE DEPLOYMENT BY EXPLODING CHEAP AND SHARP SHARD OF PLASTIC INTO THE EYES AND FACE OF THE PASSENGER/DRIVER. GM IS CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO REPAIR OR PAY FOR THIS UNSAFE DASHBOARD THAT SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE LOCATIONS. 1ST AND 2ND: OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FROM UPPER CORNERS OF THE AIRBAG TO THE AIR-VENT PANEL 3RD: APPROXIMATELY 8 INCHES ALONG THE TOP OF THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL TO THE AIR-VENT PANEL. ADDITIONAL SEPARATION BETWEEN PANELS IS CREATED DURING TEMPERATURE CHANGES OR RUNNING THE HEATER IN COLD WEATHER. HAVE HAD TWO DEALERSHIPS TELL ME IT IS A NORMAL, KNOWN, AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THE BODY-STYLE BUT OFFERED TO REPLACE IT FOR OVER $1,000.

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL SPORADICALLY DISPLAY TWO M.I.L. 'S - SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $4,000 ON DIFFERENT PARTS, AS WELL AS HAVING THE HEADS COMPLETELY REBUILT ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. THE ONLY TROUBLE CODES IT SHOWS WHEN HOOKED TO A SCANNER ARE A P0300 (GENERIC MISFIRE DETECTED) P0301 (MISFIRE CYLINDER 1) AND 0443 (EVAP EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM VALVE CIRCUIT). AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF RESEARCH ONLINE, IT IS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THERE IS NO DIRECT SUREFIRE RESOLUTION. BUT RATHER A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT IS SOMETIMES VERY LABOR INTENSIVE AND EXTREMELY INVASIVE TO TRACK DOWN THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTROL SWITCH, ADDED A SECONDARY BACKUP BATTERY AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLES, REPLACE THE PLUGS, PLUG WIRES AND IGNITION COIL PACKS. IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE AND AT THIS POINT I HAVE AS MUCH MONEY INVESTED IN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE SPENT PURCHASING IT. I AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO SELL THIS TRUCK AND LET'S HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF DEALING WITH SUCH ISSUES BUT AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT AND DISCOVERING THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST CHEVROLET / GM SUVS AND TRUCKS, PARTICULARLY WITH THE 5.3 L ENGINE, I FEEL GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING IT OR LET ME TRADE IT IN TOWARDS A NEWER MODEL WITH A SUFFICIENT CREDIT APPLIED. THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM STOPPING OR ACCELERATING ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. IF I AM SIMPLY CRUISING ALONG AT 25 MILES PER HOUR STEADILY AND NOT ACCELERATING OR BREAKING, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS PREVALENT. BUT AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, IT IS SPORADIC AND CONTINUES TO REOCCUR INCESSANTLY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHEV TAHOE TODAY, WHILE IN MOTION, THE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME UP ON MY DASH ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. THEN THE ENGINE STARTED STRUGGLING.

IF THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER, IT COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

ADDITIONALLY, THE INTAKE GASKETS LEAK ALLOWING FLUID INTO THE ENGINE. THE DASH CRACKED. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE AIR RIDE SHOCKS (LTZ MODEL), THE CONNECTOR WILL WEAR A HOLE IN THE SHOCK. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS AND TIE ROD ENDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS CONSTANTLY RUNNING HOT AND WE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND RADIATOR.

MY ISSUES STARTED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO WHEN DROPPING MY CHILD OFF AT DAYCARE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I PULLED IN THE DAYCARE AND IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AT THAT POINT THE STABLITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BECAUSE I TRIED TO MOVE IT AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT JERKED SO HARD I WAS SCARED THE ENGINE BLEW. I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED CHEVY MECHANIC, CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE. WE REPLACED THE PLUGS, COIL PACKS ETC, TRYING TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. HE FINALLY REPLACED ALL 16 LIFTERS, CAM, HEAD GASKETS AND OIL PUMP AS WELL. ONCE HE GOT IT TOGETHER, IT WAS STILL A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6. HE TOOK IT APART TO LOOK AT THE PISTONS, THEY WERE FINE. THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HE PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING BRAND NEW ON IT. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THE LIFTER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BLATANTLY TOLD ME, I NEED A NEW ENGINE OR COULD PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. STILL NO RESOLVE AS OF JUNE 23, 2020!

AFTER THIS CONSTANT ISSUE WAS "REPAIRED"-FOR 6TH TIME, A FEW MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AFTER WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE-I HAD TO PUSH GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BARELY REACHING 20MPH, THEN, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING & TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE BRAKES WERE BARELY WORKING. THANKFULLY, I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT & WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS TIME I THINK IT IS A BCM OR PCS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE "FLEX-FUEL" 4WD 2007 TAHOES ARE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE CONSTITUTE UNDER LEMON LAW. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE NOW-THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME, YET I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE & REGISTRATION.

IT LIMPED TO OUR HOUSE AND THEN IT STALLED AND EVENTUALLY WAS VERY HARD TO START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE #6 LIFTER COLLAPSED AND THEY NEEDED TO CHECK THE CAMSHAFT TO SEE IF THAT WAS DAMAGED. I'M STILL WAITING ON THE CALL TO SEE WHAT THE TOTAL DAMAGE IS BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. I ALSO SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME THING.

I HAVE A 2007 TAHOE AND THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE IS ABOVE THE STEARING WHEEL AND THE OTHER IS ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IVE ALWAYS USED A WINDSHIELD PROTECTOR WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE AND THE TRUCK IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE EVERY NIGHT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO CORRECT IT!

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE WITH ABOUT 46000 MILES. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. I CALLED TWO OF OUR LOCAL DEALERS AND WAS TOLD BY ONE THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY UNIT INSIDE OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT A 400.00 REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE MALFUNCTIONS WERE WIDE SPREAD, AND THEY HAD BEEN MAKING MANY WARR REPAIRS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH OUT OF WARR GM VEHICLES. CONSIDERING THE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGES I WOULD HOPE THAT GM WOULD VOLUNTARILY ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE THE COSTLY REPAIR, EVEN FOR OUT OF WARR VEHICLES. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL OFTEN SHOW THAT I HAVE MORE THAN A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL, BUT WILL SUDDENLY STALL. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT RARELY DO I LET THE TANK DROP BELOW A QUARTER DUE TO THE ISSUE. IT HAS STALLED OUT BOTH IN MY AREA NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, THE DIGITAL READOUT SHOWING ESTIMATED MILEAGE LEFT, HAS SHOWN ABOVE 100 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IS TO ADD 2 GALLONS OF FUEL OR MORE. *TR

Have owned the vehicle since new. For a long time I had been "topping off" the brake fluid in the master cylinder. Finally got a message on the dash telling me to "service brakes soon" that would come and go. Eventually made it to our local Chevrolet dealer while the message was displayed for diagnostic purposes. Was told code "C0299" was found regarding brake booster pressure sensor performance. Vehicle was repaired by replacing the master cylinder and hydraulic brake booster. A large amount of brake fluid was found inside the booster upon disassembly. Obviously had been leaking brake fluid from the master cylinder into the brake booster for a long time. Saw that Ford had a recent recall for a similar problem and I thought it was worth reporting. I retained both the master cylinder and brake booster for inspection if needed. Fortunately no incidents occurred due to this part failure before replacement.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CYLINDERS, VALVES, HOSES, CALIPERS, PADS, AND BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

VEHICLE #1 (MY 2007 TAHOE LT3) WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY 278 IN POWDER SPRINGS, GA. VEHICLE 2 (TOYOTA 4RUNNER) WAS TRAVELING SOUTH. VEHICLE 2 CROSSED CENTER LINE AND WENT INTO A SPIN CRASHING INTO THE DOOR AND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND FENDER WHICH PROPELLED/LAUNCHED MY 2007 TAHOE ACROSS ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC INTO THE GUARD RAIL STRIKING THE GUARD RAIL WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT FENDER AND BUMPER. MY TAHOE WAS TOTALED BY INSURANCE. ONSTAR WHICH I HAVE PAID FOR SINCE 2007 DID NOT REGISTER THE CRASH AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED SEVERE WHIPLASH FROM BEING HIT IN THE DRIVER SIDE THEN AN SECOND IMPACT AS I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. MY SEAT BELTS PROTECTED ME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE IMPACT; HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND SIDE OF MY BODY THROWN ACROSS THE TAHOE CONSOLE FOR THE IMPACT OF THE GUARD RAIL, I SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY AS WELL. THE LEFT IMPACT AND THEN THE RIGHT SIDE IMPACT CAUSED SEVERE WHIPLASH AND ENSUING HEADACHES. *TR

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

VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AND MAX OUT AT FUEL CUT-OFF. ACCELERATION IS UNRESPONSIVE TO BRAKE APPLICATION TO INCLUDE 100% APPLICATION, RESULTING IN SMOKE AND ODOR. VEHICLE CANNOT BE STOPPED OTHER THAN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, RPM WILL IMMEDIATELY CLIMB TO IN EXCESS OF 5000 RPM. ACCELERATION PROBLEMS NORMALLY OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT HAVE OCCURRED ALSO ON CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM THEN RESETS ITSELF AT ITS DISCRETION. CHEVEROLET HAS BEEN "WORKING" ON FINDING THE PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER, TOTAL IN EXCESS OF 90 DAYS. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER (VDR) TO IMAGE THE ISSUE. VDR HAS A CABLE PLUGGED INTO VEHICLE COMPUTER THE DANGLES BETWEEN THE GAS/BRAKE PEDAL AND DRIVER POSING AN ADDITIONAL HAZARD. VEHICLE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD LIKELY TO RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH. I AM UNABLE TO AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ENJOY AND UTILIZE THE VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSES TO WHICH IT WAS INTENDED FOR/PURCHASED AND HAVE BEEN PLACED IN A SEVERELY RISKY POSITION BY CHEVROLET. IN ADDITION, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE STABILITRAC WHERE IT ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES WITHOUT APPLICATION OF THE BUTTON. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN RAISED WITH CHEVROLET BUT NO CODES WERE READ DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A RESET (PER CHEVROLET). HOWEVER, WHEN STABILITRAC PROBLEM SURFACED YET AGAIN, PROBLEM WAS WITNESSED BY CHEVROLET SERVICE REP BUT NO WORK COULD BE DONE DUE TO AN OPEN TICKET WITH GMC REGARDING THE ACCELERATION ISSUE. CHEVROLET HAS DOWNLOADED IMAGES/INFORMATION FROM THE VDR AND HAS STATED THAT THERE IS/ARE ISSUES AND RESET AND RETURNED THE VDR TO ME REQUESTING AGAIN THAT I TAKE MORE IMAGES WHEN MY VEHICLE IS STUCK IN ACCELERATION AND TO BE CAREFUL. INITIAL ATTEMPT FOR THIS REPAIR IN SEPTEMBER NOTED "DRIVABLE CONCERN." PROBLEM IS RECURRING FROM 0-9 INCIDENTS EACH DAY. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AS WELL AS MYSELF. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS STATED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M THAT GM SENT OUT REGARDING AFN LIFTERS FAILING DUE TO OIL STARVATION. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SENT OUT THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT AND FIX IT. HOWEVER THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 5.3L ENGINES AND A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM! IN MY SITUATION IT CAUSED A SOAK PLUG AND THE SPARK PLUG HOUSING TO BLOW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE! WHICH COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE OR CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOMETHING IF IT HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH WITH HIGH TRAFFIC. AS STATED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM WON'T EVEN COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST TO FIX IT! IN MY CASE I ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN BARELY DRIVE AND SHOULDNT BE DRIVING! AT ANY MOMENT THE WHOLE ENGINE COULD BLOW UP BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I HAVE THE $4000 TO FIX IT! GM SHOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS OR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE COST OF REPAIRS! I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES EFFECTED BY PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M. YET GM WILL NOT HELP CONSUMERS IN ANY WAY AT ALL WITH THE EXPENSIVE COST OF THIS REPAIR! WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THERE COULD BE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES THAT OTHER OWNERS COULD HAVE HAD ALSO. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM ALSO EFFECTS OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE SUCH AS STABILITAK SYSTEM. WHEN THIS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING THE VEHICLE HITS BUMPS AND THROWS THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD MAKING STEERING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THIS AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.

WE PURCHASED A 2007 TAHOE IN AUGUST 2012. SINCE THIS TIME, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL STARTING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. A JUMP START OR BOOST WILL OFTEN ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN AVAILABLE BOOST. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS, FAMILY VACATIONS, WORK, AND OUR KIDS GAMES OR PRACTICES. AS NOTED IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, THE STARTING PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THERE ARE TIMES A BOOST WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, WE EVEN BEGAN TO LOSE POWER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING A FAMILY VACATION THIS PAST SUMMER. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING ISSUE FOR GM AND THEIR APPARENT INABILITY OR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE STARTING / LOSS OF POWER PROBLEMS, A CRACKED DASH AND FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINTS, IT MAY LIKELY BE A BATTERY CABLE ISSUE. GM MUST RECALL THIS KNOWN PROBLEM!!! *TR

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.

SO YOU RECALL THE VEHICLE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, I STARTED NOTICING IT WHEN I WOULD FILL UP WITH FUEL. IT HAS TO BUILD THE PRESSURE UP BEFORE IT'LL START. MANY MECHANICS TOLD ME THIS IS A DEFECT. KAT FRIDAY NIGHT I RAN AN ERRAND. PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY EXITED THE VEHICLE HIT THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE VEHICLE. I GO OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND I CAN SMELL BURNT WIRES. THE WINDOW/POWER LOCKS/MIRRORS MODULE ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. LUCKILY IT SHORTED OUT THE MODULE, BUT IT BURNT UP AND MELTED ONE OF THE CONNECTORS. THIS JUST HAPPENED SO I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO FIGURE THE CAUSE. BURNS 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. GENERAL MOTORS THREW ME UNDER THE BUS IN 1988 ON A BRAND NEW PICK UP TRUCK WITH THE DEXCOOL ANTIFREEZE THAT ATE EVERY GASKET OUT OF THE ENGINE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT I REPLACED IT AT MY COST WITH NO HELP FROM GENERAL MOTORS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THESE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS THEY GOT TOP DOLLAR FOR THESE VEHICLES. ALL OF THESE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL. THE DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE CUT SEVERAL PEOPLE. IT'S LIKE A RAZOR. A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS HAD A PIECE OF TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE HOW EMBARRASSING.

HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND FIX ITSELF. THIS CAR IT'S USED ONLY TO DRIVE LESS THAN 10 MILES PER WEEK. IT IS SO ANNOYING WIHT THIS ISSUE JUST TO GET IT OUT AND BACK HOME.

WOW. I AM SEEING ALL MY SAME ISSUES SO THOUGHT I BETTER ENTER MY INFO AS WELL. FIRST THE HORN WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN BLARING WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 2.5 YEARS AGO AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE A HORN, AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL INCLUDING THE RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL (I QUESTION IF THE AIR BAG IS ACTIVE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE OF THIS). THEN, THE REAR LIFT GATE ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT OPEN (MAYBE LAST WINTER). 6 MONTHS AGO, THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH ARE OUT SO I CAN'T SEE MY ODOMETER OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN ACCESS ON THE DASH. RECENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST RANDOMLY FELL OFF THE TRACK. RECENTLY, EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK ELECTRICALLY: POWER DOOR LOCK, AND POWER WINDOW. AND I FIND THAT GM WILL NOT ADDRESS AT A MINIMUM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES? NOT GOOD.

AT 90,000 MILES, ALL OF MY REAR BEARINGS WERE BAD AND HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED, BASICALLY A WHOLE NEW REAR END. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER TWICE WITH MY TAHOE, SO OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT SOMEWHERE. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD; ONE IN THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, AND THE OTHER ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING COLUMN. THESE BOTH OCCURRED ABOUT THE SAME TIME, AROUND 100,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO BE REPLACING THESE DASHBOARDS ON THEIR DIME AND NOT EXPECTING THE CUSTOMER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAVE TO DEPLOY, PIECES OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES THAT WOULD HARM ANYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD ISSUE I HAVE, THAT BEGAN TODAY AT 109,000 MILES, ARE INVOLVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK, THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES WHICH GEAR YOU ARE IN DID NOT COME ON, AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT WERE ON EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, AND I'M HOPING IT IS JUST A BAD FUSE. I AM SO DICOURAGED WITH MY TAHOE LATELY. ALL OF THESE LITTLE THINGS GOING WRONG HAVE REALLY MADE ME LEARY OF BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT, AND I'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT THE 2015 REDESIGN. NOT SO MUCH NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 IN FLORIDA COMING FROM KENTUCKY (RELOCATING MY MOTHER IN LAW), I AND A FRIEND WHO WAS TAKING A TURN DRIVING SMELLED AN ODOR SIMILAR TO SULFUR OR NATURAL GAS. WITHIN 10-15 MINUTES, SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE FRONT DRIVER ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DRIVER IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AS A FIREBALL EXPLODED FROM THE SAME AREA AS THE SMOKE. WE BOTH DOVE OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WITH NEARLY ALL THE CONTENTS BURNED, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE TIRES. *TR

AS I STOPPED STABILITY CONTROL / TRACTION CONTROL DASHLIGHTS APPEARED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE , THEY BOTH BLINKED AND DASH READ SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. AS I PULLED FROM STOP SIGN THE TRANNY SLAMMED INTO 2ND GEAR WITH A BANG AND I WAS BARELY ACCELERATING PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT JUST TURNED OVER. IT TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET IT TO START, AND WHEN IT DID I SMELLED A STRONG SMELL OF UNBURNED FUEL FROM THE EXHAUST. I WILL CONTACT GM TO FILE COMPLAINT AS MY TAHOE HAS ONLY 97K ON IT. HOPEFULLY IT'S COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION APPROX 3 MILES FURTHER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, ATTEMPTED TO RE START AND IT WONT START. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TWO WEEKS. I HAVE TAKEN TO A CHEVY DEALER TWICE TO DIAGNOSE. BOTH TIMES THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE, AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS RESET THE ERROR CODES. *TR

IT ONLY CAME OFF DURING MONTHS DEFROST WAS BEING USED, COLD WEATHER. CABLE CONNECTION SEEMED TO BE MELTING OFF FROM SOLDER. THIS TOO SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES. ALSO SINCE OWNING THIS TAHOE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE NEVER SEEMED TO BE WIPING FAST ENOUGH IN A HARD RAIN,( NOT A DOWNPOUR, JUST STEADY HEAVY RAIN) IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE THROUGH WINDSHIELD.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL NOT RUNNING, NOT IN USE. VEHICLE WAS SETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WEATHER WAS AROUND 45-50 DEGREES AND THE DASH CRACKED IN 3 SPOTS, 2 SPACES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ONE OVER THE AIR BAG AREA., I HAVE DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND VERIFIED THAT THERE IS SEVERAL CASES OF THIS HAPPENING IN THIS PARTICULER MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THE MATERIAL FROM THE DASH CRACKING COULD CAUSE CUTS/OR EXTENSIVE WOUNDS BY PRODUCING FLYING DEBIS FROM THE AIR BAG GOING OFF SINCE THE DASH IS CRACKING OVER THE AIR BAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED PER THEIR REQUEST, THEY DIDN'T ADMIT THERE WASN'T A MANUFACTURING FLAW BUT THEY DENIED REPAIRING THE VEHICLE STATING THAT I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT GM DEALRESHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED VERIFIED THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND THEY WERE VERY LARGE. *TR

THE INTERIOR WIRING MUST BE FAULTY, THE PASSENGER WINDOW SOMETIMES WON'T ROLL DOWN FROM DRIVERS SIDE, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL.

THE MONITOR OR SENSOR OF THE CAR WAS NOT DETECTING IF THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING ACCURATELY. IT IS NOT DETECTING THE PRESSURE OF THE TIRE. SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP PARTICULARLY TO SALESPERSON WHO SOLD US THE CAR. HE SAID, IT DOES IT SOMETIMES. WHEN WE ARE FILLIN IN ITS GAS TANK, IT SHUTS OFF THE GAS NOZZLE AFTER A GALLON OR TWO, WHICH IS ACTUALLY STRANGE, SO WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT'S PROBABLY THE GAS STATION. WE TALK TO THE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY ARE NOT SHUTTING THE GAS NOZZLE OFF. WE OCCASIONALLY HEAR ITS CREAKING SOUND WHEN WE DRIVE IT, AND WHEN WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT IS JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T USE A BRAKE PAD THAT'S WHY. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SOMETIMES MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNING, BUT THEIR COMMENT IS UNABLE TO VERIFY THE CAUSE AT THIS TIME. I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH THE CAR EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER DIDN'T LIKE IT, AND UNTIL NOW THEY STILL CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP US OUT. THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED, BUT WHY THEY DIDN'T FIXED THEM WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO THEM A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. THE CAR IS JUST 23,000 MILES THOUGH IT'S A 2007 MODEL, BECAUSE WE CAN'T USE IT ALL THE TIME. WE ARE NOT THAT CONFIDENT TO BRING IT ALL THE TIME AND PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. RIGHT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, I HAVE RENEWED ITS REGISTRATION ALREADY, BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD HOPING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL DO SOME CORRECTIONS WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ALREADY EXPIRED. WE KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS THE EMISSION TEST BECAUSE ITS ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE'VE BEEN TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES BUT THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, EVEN IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND JUST WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THEY WILL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO US. *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOOR LOCKS GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT SUPPOSEDLY. I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 05/23/2013 AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I LOST POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THE TOW TRUCK JUMPED ME AND IT STARTED JUST FINE SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. THEN I TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD TURN ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. TOW TRUCK CAME AGAIN TO JUMP ME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND KNEW EXACTLY THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. THEY REPLACED THE CABLES TO A COST TO ME OF $500!!! HE SAID THAT CHEVY KNOWS IT'S AN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT THEY WON'T DO A RECALL..ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!!

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THESE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR- ALL WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR - SOME ISSUES ARE ONGOING. THREE OF THE FOUR DOOR HANDLES ARE FRAYED AND CAUSE CUTS. THE CENTER CONSOLE WAS LITERALLY COMING APART AT THE SEAMS. I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF WIND VERY LOUDLY WITH THE WINDOWS UP. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR - I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALER (MORENO VALLEY CHEVROLET) ADVISING THEM THAT THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT PROPERLY OPERATING WITH THE KEY FOB AND THAT THE SOUND OF WIND WAS/IS VERY LOUD AND THE TIRES ARE MAKING NOISE. WELL , THEY REPLACED, RESET, AND WHATEVER ELSE TO THE DOOR LOCKS - AND THE ELECTRONIC FOB STILL DID NOT (AND DOES NOT) WORK. EVEN AFTER THREE (OR FOUR) ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS - I HAVE TO USE THE KEY, THE FOB DOES NOT WORK. THE DVD PLAYER PLAYS AT WILL. AT ONE OF THOSE VISITS - WHERE I ADVISED OF EXCESSIVE NOISE, THE DEALER REPLACED THREE OF MY TIRES AND MY DVD PLAYER - WITHOUT MY REQUEST. THE SERVICE TECH SAYS - "OH, THEY HOOKED YOU UP." I ASKED AND ASKED "WHY" THEY REPLACED THESE THINGS AND NO ONE, INCLUDING THE SERVICE MANAGER, HAD AN ANSWER. AND STILL - THE TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY, ARE LOUD, AND THE RIDE IS NOT SMOOTH AND THE DVD PLAYER PLAYS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I TOOK MY CAR TO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE GUY THERE SAID, "ONE DAY, YOUR TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF, THIS (WHAT THE NAME WAS-I CAN'T RECALL) IS BROKEN...IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT FALLS APART." I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (MORENO VALLEY CHEVY) AND THEY SAID "CANNOT DUPLICATE." NEVER, EVER ANOTHER CHEVY. *TR

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

OUR FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 TAHOE LTZ ON MARCH 17,2006 THE HEATED SEATS DIDN'T WORK UNLESS WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND NEVER AGAIN SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. SECOND MALFUNCTION/INCIDENT WAS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES AND I COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF UNTIL I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD INCIDENT WAS THE SAME AS THE SECOND...THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY AND THE WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID CAME ON AGAIN, I COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF UNTIL I EXITED THE FWY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AUG 23, 2006 AND EXPLAINED ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS THAT HAD OCCURRED THUS FAR THEY COULD NOT FIND NOR DUPLICATE THE HEATED SEAT PROBLEM BUT THEY DID FIND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO THEY ORDERED IT. FORWARD TO TODAY SEPT 8, 2006 I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE FWY WHEN MY XM RADIO WENT OUT COMPLETELY I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE SATELLITE SO AS SOON AS I EXITED THE FWY I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE BUT THIS TIME ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO AND ONSTAR SERVICES WERE COMPLETELY DEAD! NO SERVICE AT ALL! I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT IN SO THAT THEY CAN CHECK IT OUT YET AGAIN, AND INSTALL THE WIPER MODULE WE WERE WAITING ON. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS, BEING THAT WE DID NOT PAY CHUMP CHANGE FOR THIS TAHOE FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY IT SHOULD BE A VERY RELIABLE VEHICLE! I AM NOT GOING TO BE HAVING TO TAKE A $50,000 VEHICLE TO THE SHOP EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR MALFUNCTIONS...WHAT A COMPLETE INCONVENIENCE THIS IS!!

The first problem was the cluster , it completely went off . I took it to a mechanic he said he fixed it . It works for one day then completely shut off again, I can not see what gear I am in , any alert that I need to see for warning and saftey completely off in the cluster . . Shortly after the first issue I noticed 2 cracks on my dashboard ,on both driver and passenger side of the vehicle . I had not put a lot of thought into that as it didn’t seem like a safety concern up until I’ve read several post of others with same issue . ( I’m guessing a fire should be expected anytime because of others stories I have read off here the cracks have lead to fires ) Another issue is I have to add quart oil to my Tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . I’ve taken it to have that fixed and each time was told there is no leak . I get the works done each oil change and still have to add oil 2 weeks after a new air filter oil etc .. a major issue that could have been a major wreck was While driving down a highway around 11 pm .. my car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoe and it started making a loud click sound saying system is shutting down ,my steering wheel locked up and all power to vehicle completely shut down .period . No power to anything at all what so ever . The battery was fairly new . Well We had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day … he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldn’t see anythjng and told me I should sale it right away He warned me of a lot of issues he keeps seeing with Tahoe . Well now my driver door will not open at all I have to crawl through the passenger side door to get in and out of my car . With all these serious issues still going on I m very scared to be in my car , not getting my alerts and being trapped inside . Please someone point me in the right direction I have 5 kids this is not safe !

THE O2 SENSOR CAN LOSE FROM ITS HOUSING. I HAD NEVER DONE ANY REPAIRS TO THIS O2 SENSOR. WHICH IT IS LOCATED AT POSITION BANK 1 SENSOR 2. THE SENSOR CONNECTION CAME LOSE FROM WHERE IT IS HELD ON TO THE FRAME. IT CAUSED THE WIRING TO GET SLACK AND WRAP AROUND THE DRIVE SHAFT. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AS I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE SUV I SEEN THE O2 SENSOR WAS CAUGHT ON THE SHAFT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ONCE TIME INCIDENT THAT HAD OCCURRED TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROGRESSIVE POWER STEERING FAILURE THAT OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE SUSPENSION WAS ALSO UNSTABLE IN THE REAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAR WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE 4-WHEEL DRIVER MODULE, WHICH DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE WHEELS IN THE REAR LOCKED. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND CRASHED INTO A 1996 GMC SIERRA 3500.

MYSELF AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING ON THE I75 TO CINCINNATTI, OHIO AND MY TRUCK WAS FINE, NO ISSUES, NO PROBLEMS, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HALFWAY THERE THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION SIGNS AND MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE HAD TO HURRY UP AND SWITCH LANES, IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING OVER MYSELF AN OTHERS HIT THIS POTHOLE THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANES THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY BEING WORKED ON ,BUT THERE WERE NO CONES OR ANYTHING AROUND IT. AS SOON AS I HIT IT AND WAS TRYING TO GET OVER MY STABILITRAK AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND MY TRUCK STARTED JERKING REAL BAD, BY THE TIME I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO WHERE I WAS GOING MY ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON TOO AND MY TRUCK WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF , IT STARTED SMOKING AND I STOPPED BY A GAS STATION AND PEOPLE THERE TRIED TO HELP ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS BEST FOR ME TO TRY TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH IS XENIA, OHIO OR I WAS GOING TO GET STUCK IN CINCINNATTI. IT TOOK A COUPLE DAYS FOR ME TO ACTUALLY GET IT IN THE SHOP WHICH IS LANG'S CHEVROLET IN BEVERCREEK, OHIO AND WHEN I TOOK IT THERE NONE OF THE BODY SHOP MEN KNEW WHAT IT WAS, THEN BECAUSE OF THAT THEY SAID WE CAN TAKE THE ENGINE APART BUT YOUR GOING TO BE CHARGED $1500.00 AND IF IT'S NOT THAT THEN I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO DO. NOW BEING THAT YOU ARE A CERTIFIED AUTO MECHANIC ISNT IT YOUR JOB TO KNOW WHAT IT IS? I'M BRINGING MY TRUCK BACK TO WHERE I PAYED CASH FOR IT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. TO ME THAT IS CRAZY AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH IT BEFORE. I'VE TOOK IT TO SEVERAL BODY SHOPS AND HAVE PAYED MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR SOMETHING THAT IT WASNT AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHATS WRONG. SO I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET HAS FAILED ME AND SO HAS GM SINCE THEY OWN THEM NOW. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT THEN WHY SELL THEM? EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM IS BEING IGNORED AND ITS SAD. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE SPEED CONTROL JUST STOPPED WORKING. I RESET IT AND THE FIRST BUMP IN THE ROAD IT STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK IT FOR REPAIR AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YR. THEN THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD IT FIXED AGAIN AND IT LASTED ABOUT ANOTHER 2 YRS. IT HAS AGAIN FAILED SEVERAL TIMES TO WORK AT ALL AND THEN YOU CAN GET IN THE CAR AND START DRIVING AND IT WILL WORK. CURRENTLY, IT WON'T COME ON AT ALL...THIS APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TAHOE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DROPS QUICKLY IN SPEED. ALSO, OUR TAHOE IS GARAGE KEPT AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I SEE THAT THIS TOO IS A PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF TAHOE. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE THE DOOR WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THE SEATS WON'T MOVE AND HAVE HAD THAT FIXED TWICE. WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE REAR DOOR STOP WORKING WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE. WE HAVE HAD THAT IN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS. WE GAVE UP TAKING IT BACK. HERE AGAIN NO RECALLS. WE ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THEY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. WHY HAVEN'T THESE ITEMS BEEN RECALLED BY GM. THE DEALERS KNOW THAT ITS A PROBLEM, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO PAY THE BILL TO GET IT FIXED. IF YOU LOOK ON HERE, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. WE HAVE OWNED MANY CHEVYS INCLUDING CORVETTE AND 2 TAHOES BUT SINCE GM WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS LIKE THEY SHOULD, WE WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER BRAND,NISSAN OR HONDA NEXT TIME. *TR

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A KNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. I JUST HAD MY TAHOE AT THE DEALER LAST WEEK FOR STRANGE CLACKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THEY STATED I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT DID IT AGAIN. YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE AND MY TAHOE APPEARED POSSESSED. DOOR LOCKS, GEARING SHIFTING WAS AFFECTED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND STEER DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS RISK TO OTHERS AROUND ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TURNING TO THE INTERNET AND FINDING THAT I AM ONE OF WHAT IS PROBABLY THOUSANDS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE MAKES MY EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, NTSB AND NOW WITH THE STATE OF NC IMMEDIATELY. NOT ONLY HAVE WE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE LONG DEALT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT GM CONTINUES TO SAY IS "NORMAL" CONSUMPTION. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN GM AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING MAJOR COMPONENT ISSUES. WE ALSO OWN A JEEP WRANGLER AND THEY ARE BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANYTIME WE HAVE AN ADDRESSABLE ISSUE. *LN

I OWN A 07 CHEVY TAHOE LT & HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE CHEVY DEALER. ORIGINALLY ALL MY CAR DID WAS TURN OFF THE STABILTRAC AND SAY SERVICE STABILITAC THEN IT STARTED TO TURN IT SELF INTO SAFETY MODE WHERE IT REDUCES ENGINE POWER &WON'T LET YOU BASICALLY DRIVE,THEN IT STARTED LOCKING THE DOORS BY ITSELF I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIPS GARAGE TELL ME ITS A DIFFERENT ISSUE EVERY TIME, EVERYTHING FROM THE BEARINGS TO A TINY CORD. WELL MY CAR HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY PUT ITSELF IN SAFETY MODE FOR NO REASON&A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE GOING THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT SUDDENLY SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED SERVICE STABILTRAC AGAIN & SUDDENLY DROPPED MY RATE OF SPEED TO 15 MILES TO PER HOUR WITHOUT ANY PRE WARNING.I BARELY MADE IT TO THE NEXT LANE AND THEN THE SHOULDER AND CAME SO CLOSE TO GETTING INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT I WAS SO SHAKEN.I LET MY CAR SIT FOR A MINUTE&LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO BEING FINE.I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT (AFTER A $200 BILL TO LOOK AT IT) THE NEXT DAY IT DID IT AGAIN THIS TIME ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH.I WAS SO SHAKEN UP WITH MY LITTLE GUYS IN THE CAR THAT I CONTACTED THE CHEVY CORP WHO AT FIRST SAID THEY WERE AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SOME 08 & NEWER TAHOES LIKE THIS THEN WHEN I ASKED THEM TO FIX MINE THEY RECANTED THEIR STORY SAYING THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM.I DECIDED TO RESEARCH IT MYSELF AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POSTS&FORUMS OF PEOPLE SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING. WHICH IS WHY I AM CONTACTING YOU, IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN MANY CHEVY/GMC CARS W/STABILITRAC THIS IS SOOOO DANGEROUS.TO HAVE YOUR CAR SUDDENLY REDUCE POWER TO 10-15 MILES PER HOUR (WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR WARNINGS TO PEOPLE BEHIND YOU) IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING FROM OUR STREET ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE NEARLY SHUT DOWN. HER SPEED WAS REDUCED TO JUST 5 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD FLASHED ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THIS WAS SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR IN THE LAST 18! WE TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR HAD FAILED AGAIN! WE ARE EXTREMELY UNEASY WITH THE CAR NOW SINCE EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, IT HAS BEEN WHILE ONE OF US WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. ON THE PREVIOUS OCCASION, SHE HAD TO QUICKLY MOVE AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC...WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM VERY OFTEN, BUT NOT THIS MUCH IN ONE CAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO IMMEDIATELY. *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 WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. MY CAR MOVED FORWARD JUST SLIGHTLY, JERKED HARD TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYMORE. I WAS ABLE TO GET PUSHED TO THE SIDE IN NEUTRAL, BUT NEEDED A TOW TO THE DEALER. THE ONLY WORKING GEARS WERE R, 3, 2, AND 1. BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL IN THE SAME TYPE OF SCENARIO WHERE THEY WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP. SECOND ISSUE, NOT NEARLY AS MAJOR IS THE STABILITRAK. THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY, PRETTY MUCH FROM THE FIRST YEAR I'VE HAD THE CAR. AND LASTLY, THE INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL PEELED OFF AND CUT ME AND MY PASSENGERS SEVERAL TIMES. THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE COME LOOSE, THE FUEL POCKET IS COMPLETELY BROKEN, AND AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, WATER GETS TRAPPED INSIDE THE SHELL OF THE BACK DOOR AND SLOSHES AROUND WHILE I'M DRIVING.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE'VE HAD TIRES REPLACED TWICE, ROTORS, AND BRAKES RESURFACED, AND REAR-END DROPPED SO THE SPRINGS COULD BE ADJUSTED.

I'VE HAD IT TO THEM 8 TIMES OR SO TRYING TO FIND IT. THE NOISE DIDN'T START UNTIL AROUND 3,000 MILES, AND GETS WORSE AND EASIER TO DUPLICATE WITH MORE MILES. THE FIRST 7 VISITS THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND WAS CLUELESS TO IT, BUT THE LAST VISIT, AND 4 DAYS OF IT, THEY AND GM DECIDED IT WAS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE, AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ON THE OTHERHAND, ONE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S COMING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN, BUT OTHERS SAY IT'S AN IMPROPER BALANCE IN THE MOTOR. EITHER WAY I'M PAYING TOO MUCH MONEY FOR WHATEVER IT IS! *TR

EVERYTHING WAS O.K. FOR ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS. AUTO START WASN'T WORKING AGAIN. AT MY THIRD SERVICE VISIT TO THE DEALER I NOTICED THE TIRES WERE STARTING TO GET WASTED TOWARDS THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. WHEN THE DEALER WAS INFORMED HE INDICATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROTATED. AFTER ABOUT THREE TIRE ROTATIONS I NOTICED THE TIRES GETTING WARN OUT PRETTY BADLY ON THE INSIDE. HE INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE THAT IT NEEDS A FRONT END ALLINGNMENT ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAVING LESS THAN 12,000 MILES.

THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A 3RD TIME NOW (LOOK FOR MY OTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE ON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS/WINDSHIELD PROBLEMS) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PLUS A NUMBER OF MULTIPLE OTHER PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO REMEDY IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER SPRAY KEEP COMING ON ALL BY THEMSELVES AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF UNLESS YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THEY'VE REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE BUT THEY STILL COME ON RANDOMLY. THE HEATED SEATS SOMETIMES DON'T WORK AND IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO WORK YOU MUST RESTART THE CAR. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL RANDOMLY NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE MASTER SWITCH AND WILL ONLY START WORKING AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED (OIL CHANGE) THE MECHANIC NOTICED SEVERAL LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE, ONE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BELL HOUSING ANOTHER FROM THE RACK AND PINION AREA AND THE THIRD FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP HOUSING AREA. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CLEANED THE ENGINE PAN (I HAVE BEFORE PICTURES) AND ADDED AN ENGINE DYE AND THEY STATED THEY FOUND NO LEAKS, WE'LL CHECK IT AGAIN AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES. THEY ALSO CLEANED UP THE OTHER LEAKS FROM THE OTHER AREAS AND CLAIMED NO LEAKS. OUR MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED WHILE ROTATING THE TIRES THAT THE FRONT RIGHT ROTORS WERE DEEPLY GROOVED WHICH ANSWERS MY QUESTION AS TO WHY MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING. HE SAYS THAT WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR THEM TO BE GROOVED, AND IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE CALIPERS PROBABLY STICKING. SHOWED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE WRITER STATED IT WAS NORMAL, THAT CANNOT BE NORMAL. SO NOW THEY RESURFACED THE ROTOR AND THE BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEAKING. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS THE CAR LOCKED "ITSELF" I DID NOT LOCK IT, THE CAR KEYS WERE NOT EVEN IN MY HANDS ANYMORE THEY WERE HANGING ON THE KEY RACK. THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *JB

THE GAUGE CLUSTER PANEL IS SHROUDED WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE THE GAUGES DURING THE LATE DAY HOURS OR DIM LIGHT DAYS BECAUSE THE GAUGES ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. THEY ONLY ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY (OR IF YOU TURN THEM ON). I THINK THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR IS MIS-PROGRAMMED, BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ROUTINELY ACTIVATE TOO LATE, BUT ON ONE OCCASION IT ACTIVATED WHEN IT WAS JUST GETTING DIM, WEIRD. THE RUNNING LIGHTS ONLY ILLUMINATE THE FRONT RUNNING LIGHTS, NOT REAR TAIL LIGHTS, MAKING IT DANGEROUS UNDER DIM LIT CONDITIONS. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CENTERED IN THE SHROUDED PANEL BECAUSE THEY MADE IT SYMMETRICAL WITH A MATCHING TACHOMETER (RPM) GAUGE. WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT A TACHOMETER ON AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE? I WANT TO SEE THE SPEED THAT I AM TRAVELING. ALSO, IF YOU TILT THE STEERING WHEEL UP AT ONE SET POINT YOU CANT EVEN SEE THE GAUGES DEPENDING ON HOW TALL YOU ARE. *NM

AT 3700 MILES NOTICED FRONT TIRES WERE FEATHERING. AFTER VISITING DEALER AND QUESTIONING THEY ASKED IF I HAD TIRES ROTATED? I EXPLAINED THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS TOO LOW SO THEY SUGGESTED ROTATING AND COMING BACK. ALSO, WINDOW TRIM ON 2 REAR WINDOWS COMING OFF SINCE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP, RECENTLY BEEN TOLD THIS IS A RECALL AND A KNOWN PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITY TRACK CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED DURING EACH INCIDENT. THE RADIO WENT OFF SUDDENLY AND THE BACK UP CAMERA BLACKED OUT SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. EACH OCCASION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND ALL ELECTRICAL UNITS OPERATED NORMALLY.

WHEN VEHICLE'S EXTERIOR LAMP CONTROL IS IN THE "AUTO" POSITION DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, MOST OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES (SPEEDOMETER, RPM, GAS, BATTERY, TEMPERATURE, OIL) ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AND CANNOT BE READ WITHOUT TAKING ONE'S EYES OFF THE ROAD AND FOCUSING ON THE GAUGE IN QUESTION, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. VARIOUS FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SO THAT ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE EYES FROM THE ROAD (E.G., RADIO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL); THIS GOES COMPLETELY AGAINST THIS OBJECTIVE. ONE CAN BYPASS THIS PROBLEM BY SWITCHING THE EXTERIOR LAMP CONTROL FROM "AUTO" TO THE PARKING LAMP POSITION: THIS ILLUMINATES THE GAUGES BUT CUTS OUT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS. AN IMPROPERLY DESIGNED LIGHT SENSOR SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER, HIS SERVICE PEOPLE DETERMINED AFTER CHECKING THAT THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATION AND THERE WAS NO DEFECT. *NM
