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.
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 dash cracked on passenger side 80 k. This vehicle is very well-maintained it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. Takata airbag recall what a joke. 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.
Vehicle resets its self door locks lock and unlock when driving radio cuts off and abs light flashes off and on stability track flashes off and when I turn the truck off and start it back up it stops.
On June 4 2020 I had NY front window broken I took it to change the front glass and the cut of the viper alarm I had on the car so the alarm was just turningnon and on I try tonturnit on to see if it would stop and it didnt so I decided to take off the positive cable from the battery to see if taking it off it would stop and it didnt so I put back on and try to start the car and it didnt nothing dead just the lights of the check engine stabilitrak and traction and untilm this date can find wat to do with it I cha ge the fuae box and still dont turn on.
My 07 Tahoe has been having stabilitrack and traction control on for months ive thrown several different parts at my Tahoe itll work great for a day or two then the codes pop right back on my dashboard causing the sterring wheel to lock up and the truck to lose engine power and jerk around while driving. This is a serious issue ive had to be towed home , change several parts and can get no answers as to why it keeps coming up. Please please please recall it for this issue I have seen many complaints about the same thing for the stabilitrack and traction control to keep coming on and not knowing why please gm yall are the best and need to fix it!!!!!!! very tired of throwing money away!!.
I have a recall on my air bag and I want it fixed before it becomes a problem.
Electrical problems resulting from burned washer fluid heater.
It dies on a nightly basis and I see forums where this is a in going problem where the computer needs updated and the radio continuesly runs and thats not the only drain.
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. I googled these problems and it appears gm recalled models from 2014 and 2015 with the same issues. They need to recall all impacted models. If this causes the engine to lose power, it could cause a dangerous situation.
Recalls on numerous gm vehicles for catching fire: the vehicle was setting in driveway for over 7 hours and neighbors were awaken by loud explosion and looked out and saw flames under the hood. They woke myself and my daughter up out of deep sleep and car was engulfed in flames. From front bumper to back cargo area total loss. Fire department came but couldn't salvage the car. The garage door, garage entry door and downstairs basement were damaged ad possible replacement on them. There has never been any signs of over heating, or smoking, and any type of burning smells.
Instrument cluster malfunction. Not showing the odometer or drive tree (prnd321) speed gauge is still working. Seeing multiple issues with people sodering on the boards of cluster to fix this problem.
No power on the driver side door (window, mirror, and lock).
Taillight/headlight malfunction.
My car has been in the shop for 7 weeks. I've spent $6,000 having the engine rebuilt as there was cylinder 7 misfire. However, after all this I'm still getting the same error codes and they now believe its electrical and the whole car needs to be re-wired. When it broke down originally, it was in neutral in a car wash. . .
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the battery had been drained as a failure progressed concerning the air bags. The dealers (rosner Chevrolet, 800 s harbor city blvd, melbourne, FL 32901, (321) 723-3611 and bob steele Chevrolet, 2800 FL-520, cocoa, FL 32926, (321) 632-6700) were notified of the failure and provided no specific diagnosis. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. In addition, the contact obtained an onstar report to specify the diagnostic failure codes that flashed each time the failure occurred. The contact was unable to start the vehicle as the electrical shortage and the air bag failure progressed. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 218,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Top of fuel pump rotting away and leaking fuel and fumes. Led inst. Cluster not working, unable to est, mileage or any engine info that is posted. Not a moving part not relegated to wear and tear. Should not have gone blank as odometer is a mandated item in a vehicle.
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 been having problem out of everything for a while my lights on.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Without warning, the driver side electric control panel began smoking and caught fire. Smoke entered the vehicle and then dissipated. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 10v240000 (electrical system) and 08v441000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
The vehicle has a faulty throttle body and throttle position sensor that cause the vehicle to go into "engine power reduced" mode which basically means the vehicle doesn't move. The engine is still running, but the vehicle is inoperable. This has happened to me dozens of times, in intersections, and I have to roll off the side of the road. 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. The vehicle leaks oil and our mechanic said that it's the rear main seal that needs to be replaced.
Rear end went out at 150k. Dash cracked near passenger airbag radio don't work if it's raining.
Crack in the dash on drivers side. Interior door handles have caused cuts to hands. Service battery charging system light continues to come on. I have had the car serviced & mechanics can not locate the issue. Seems to be an electrical malfunction.
Tl-the contact owns 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle was having electrical issues. The rear brake lights, the power windows and the power door locks stopped working. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired where it was diagnosed that the bcm module needed to be updated along with the driver's side door master switch.
While driving or idling, vehicle displays error messages stating "reduced engine power", "stabilitrak system disabled" and "service traction control. " the engine power reduces and the vehicle hesitates upon acceleration. It is difficult to get the vehicle to accelerate, especially in lower gears. Sometimes the vehicle completely loses power in the middle of driving and all control of the vehicle is lost. This has occurred both on city streets and major highways. Purchased the vehicle used about 5 months ago and it began doing this at after about two weeks of ownership. Took it to a Chevrolet dealership and they said the throttle body was sticking and needed to be replaced. The problem seems to be getting worse over the last few weeks. The vehicle is now stalling on a regular basis (about 1-3 times every time it is driven). The problem is worse when it rains a lot outside. I am afraid to drive the vehicle with my children inside because I have lost power on in the middle of a major interstate twice.
Door handles are peeling and caused my child to get a cut and bleed, lights on inside of the truck keep turning on and off seem spoke electrical shortage.
Air bag lights came on and sensors need to be replaced I should not have to pay for this being it is a safety issue and it is defect on GMC part.
The power lift gate for my car is not working properly. It does one of several things, works correctly when it wants to. Doesn't open at all when prompted, opens half way then shuts on its own, opens all the way and shuts on its own, or opens at random times when after just locking and securing the car. Also when open and prompted to close with the button/s, it will either close, not close or close half way and re open. Today my power lift gate decided to open suddenly on its own when I locked the car and stepped about 2 feet away, in just that moment a passing car in the parking lot was coming by and had to suddenly stop to avoid hitting my now raising power lift gate. Need less to say he was inches from hitting the corner of the gate with the front windshield of his car.
My tire monitoring system went out and now my keyless entry remote does not work. This same thing has happened to my daughter's and her husband's vehicle that he drives for work and they are all 2007 Chevrolet Tahoes. This is quite an expensive repair and I feel that 3 people that own the same make model and year that something must be faulty.
Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact noticed a burning odor from the front of the vehicle. The windshield wiper fluid function failed and the radio continued to function after the contact shut the vehicle completely off. The contact was able to restart the vehicle but the failure recurred.

The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. Sms.
