2007 chevy Tahoe z71, original owner- vehicle has had consistent problems with battery going dead since vehicle was new. Battery replaced by dealer. Unable to keep doors open with interior lighting on for more than 5 mins. Battery tender added and battery is trickle charged weekly to avoid dead battery. Interior lighting has been turned off to avoid dead battery. Dead batteries seem to be common on this year vehicle. I am unable to rely on this vehicle to start when I am on long trips from home. I carry a spare optima deep cycle battery & jumper cables with me when I take family on vacation.
We purchased a 2007 chevy z71 Tahoe on June 3 2007. A month after we got it the battery was dead. We charged it thinking that since we didn't drive it very much ( a vacation vehicle only) that the battery wasn't charged. About 6month later it was dead again. It was looked at the garage we purchased it from and they couldn't find anything. In December 2008 after the 4th time of a dead battery and trying to get a ride to work we had a new battery put in it. On June 9 2009 it was dead after 6 month on a new battery. I was going to leave it at the pittsburgh airport while we went on a trip but I can't cause I don't know if it will start when we get home and it 125 mile from where we live. I want something done the lemon l comes to mind. I have read so many forum on this with no idea how to fix it even the garage has no idea what is drawing the battery . I want some answer.
Repeated power failure. Battery died and had to be jump started on at least 4 occasions from 11-07 through 12-07 several other times tried to start and truck struggled. Had to turn off radio and lights then would start. Took to dealer (vista Chevrolet) on 12-17-07 and asked to have system tested. . Instead they just replaced battery. Asked for system to be tested again July and August 08 (bob stall Chevrolet) and it was not done currently having battery problem again but now is out of warranty and gm will not pay for diagnosis even though issue was discovered under warranty. Some mornings truck will not start, other times it has been we sat parked for 10 minutes and then truck would not start. I feel there is a defect in our power system but gm and the dealers refuse to investigate unless I pay them for diagnosis. . I will be getting diagnosis from a part store before I pay for it. Even after diagnosis they claim no guarantee they will pay for any needed repairs even though issue was discovered under warranty.
Battery dies out often, had it recharged more than 5 times since 2007. . . Dashboard cracked on driver side about six months ago also. Now the "engine power reduced light comes on" and all of a sudden the car will go really slow and increase speed very slowly. Had this happen several times. Do not know the cause.
Car battery dies if not driven on daily basis. Dealership has attempted to find source of drain 5 times. Recall has been done on keyless entry, battery has been replaced and dvd player has been replaced. Problem still exists.
