general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe - part 2

It was parked at the store parking lot and suddenly it was on fire it was totally destroyed the front, the seats and all the motor and nearest parts.

Vehicle electrical system repeatedly shuts off while driving. Loss of critical components that are required to control vehicle. No warning whatsoever. . .

My 2007 Tahoe sputtered and hesitated as I approached a stop sign. 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. I 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.

The odometer on these vehicles last just long enough to get out of the factory warranty and then they go out. Mine went out with approximately 110k miles. With this portion of the instrument cluster not lit you can not see your odometer miles nor what gear you are in. By reading online I found that there are a lot of cases just like mine. Gm needs to have a recall on this. It is not the consumers fault that gm has faulty equipment in these vehicles. Thanks for your time and consideration.

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.

Smell of burning plastic in passenger compartment. Windows, mirrors and door lock controls stopped working on driver door control panel. Removed driver side door panel and discovered one of the plugs to the door controls was melted and discolored. Unplugged. No fuses were tripped.

Driver's seat belt does not lock into the receptive device. 2nd row seat belt "tore" when pulled to fasten. Electrical issue causing speaker and microphone to become inaudible therefore preventing communication with onstar in the event of a crash, nor alerting driver of vehicle standard safety alerts (low gas, open door indicator, tire pressure indicator, etc. ).

Oil consumption of at least a quart between oil changes, misfiring at idle causing check engine light, stability track control service light. Chevrolet tells me there is not even 1 service bulletin or recall notice on my Tahoe.

I was on my way to work, driving approximately 55 mph and all of a sudden the "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", abs light, check engine light all came on, simultaneously. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlined, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" . When the transmission shifted, the whole Tahoe jerked. When I arrived at my destination I attempted to re start the car and it wont start.

While vehicle was etting 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.

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.

While driving it he vehicle it shuts off, all of the gauges go to zero the power steering goes out and I am no longer able to accelerate until I restart the car. The lights inside and out go off and on . The doors lock and unlock continuously,. In the past year this has happened 3 or 4 times.

Every thing electrical goes crazy every once in awhile,check engine,service tra, air conditioning, seats,brand new battery drains and more.

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.

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 e 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.

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.

After driving approx 3 miles, my "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", abs light, check engine light all came on, simultaniously. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlined, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" . When the transmission shifted, the whole Tahoe jerked. 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.

I was stopped at a red light and as I took off the stabilitrack said it need to be serviced and the engine power was reduced. Took to shop and they reset the computer and everything seemed fine. Now 4 days later I was in the car wash parked with the car running while I was vacuuming and lost all power and stabilitrack did the same thing. After waiting 10 minutes or so I was able to start the vehicle and drive it to the shop again. They said it is a common problem and it doesn't have a true "fix" at this point.

While driving 72 mph on highway stabilitrak light, traction control light and flashing engine light came on and engine bogged down with no power. After almost getting hit by 2 semis I got the truck off the road. . I have read up on this issue and chevy needs a recall on this. . Someone is gonna get killed.

Truck will not start at times, have been to the dealer multiple times and they cannot find a problem. This has happened in a previous chevy Tahoe 2007 lt that I owned prior and the dealer could not find the problem. It 50% of the time will start up if I allow it to sit for moment, at other times I have to jump it. It currently has new battery, which did not help the problem.

The contact owns 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the panel and shift light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was advised to the contact that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 130,000.

After 5 minutes of having started the car and driving the rpm gauge raised to 4rpms and would not drop below 3rpms, even after having stopped the car and turning off the engine. Called chevy customer service and the rep hung up on me.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that she smelled a foul odor and noticed smoke emitting from the driver's side front door while driving an unknown speed. The vehicle was able to be driven to the contact's residence and was later taken to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue. The failure and current mileages were 102,000.

The driver information computer screen and prnd321 lights have failed. The dashboard inside has cracked in two areas.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the window control panel burned, causing the power window unit to become inoperable. The contact repaired the control panel with parts from the manufacturer. The contact called the manufacturer and filed a complaint. The failure mileage was 107,000. Kmj.

Dash cracked on left side of steering wheel hump. A few months later the dash cracked on the upper left side of passenger air bag.

They unlock or lock by itself, seats start moving around, radio will act up, the lcd for the dvd player stops working some times, air conditioning won't work on some vents, side mirrors, back trunk door won't work,lights in the car goes dim some times while driving, there is a brand new battery in there, some times once in a while it won't start.

The fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank and suddenly the gauge went to empty and the driving distant went blank. After a short time the gauge read 3/4 tank, then went off again, then reset itself to 1/2 tank. This has happened quite frequently since then. It only happens once the fuel level gets less than 3/8 of a tank.

Back passenger doors fill up with water after rain. Door has a drain hole but is blocked by dust shield causing water to stay in door and cause damage to electrical components.

The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 chevy Tahoe lt. It literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. 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.

Takata inflators I live in the northeast region and I believe my car is affected by the deflation of the airbags. Also I have an electrical issue where some of the speakers would work and then have a short and now the vehicle outlets in the front has stopped working. While driving I noticed the speakers would work and then short and come back on . Not all the front speakers are not putting out any sound and the outlets stopped working. Lastly the dash has been cracking . The crack starts from the driveside and ends in the center of the front dash. I happen to get in the car and notice a crack in the dash that gradually started to get bigger.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the panel electrical system failed. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

I own a 2007 chevy Tahoe ive been having problems with the stabilitrak control traction control and the fuel sender for about a couple of wks warranty that I purchased for my car dont want to cover for this!!!!!!!!!! lights keep turning on loud noise from engine car not running well at all!!!!!.

I own a 2007 chevy Tahoe and I am experiencing problems with the cruise control. I will set it when traveling on the freeway and it will disengage on its own. At first I thought it was something I was doing but it continues to happen and now I realize after seeking information on the web that many Tahoe and yukon owners ar having the same problem. I have also experienced some surging and speed fluctuation when it is engaged as have other people who'as comments I have seen on vehicle information web pages. I believe this could be a safety issue and possibly cause accidents. Gm told me they were not aware any issues but I know now that this not true. I have seen service bulletins that indicate there are electrical problems with other electrical parts that may effect the cruise control. What options do I have?.

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!.
