general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe - part 1

Front airbag and rollover airbag are not working.

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.

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. But as I went to the salvage yard to get a harness. They told me this was a common issue on these model trucks.

The number 1 cylinder keeps fouling out spark plugs. I have changed plugs, wires, and the coil pack. This fixes the problem for about 5 miles. It runs poorly, low idle, the stability trac comes on and says it is malfunctioning and needs to be serviced.

Stabiltrakar and only half the motor is running.

Highway! company midwest transport inc dot#1084722 truck motor blew as I was traveling down the road at 55mph I lost control truck begain to jackknife truck#9005.

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.

Sometimes the stable track system comes on and goes off causing the transmission and carter jerk and steer poorly too many complaints about this needs to be taken care of.

I have been dealing with the same problem as the previous complaint. . . Ironically, my vehicle was manufactured in TX too, but, I purchased it used in va in 2011 odometer-73,625. To date, I only have 101,225- I started having constant stabilitrack/traction control issues right after 100,000- caused steering wheel to lock up and loss of power in addition to door locks suddenly locking/unlocking, car alarm going off, and hazard blinkers not working (all while in the middle of rush hour traffic)! 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. I'm sick of wasting money as well. Please help us (2007 Tahoe owners), fix these issues! thank you.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. After having the oil changed, the vehicle failed to start and the stabilitrak indicator illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 183,544.

Under numerous circumstances, the "service stablilitrak and service traction control " appears in the dash message center along with audible beeps. Shortly after this happens the vehicle engine goes into limp mode with limited power and speed. I have been on interstates with heavy traffic and this becomes challenging to remedy ASAP and get out of the way. The original part suggested was the throttle body, this was replaced and the problem seemed to go away for 12-16 month. The problem has come back and the throttle body is not suspect this time. The dealer bascially trouble shoots the problem with parts.

The contact commited to a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe at an auction. While test driving the vehicle at any speed, the check engine and reduce engine power warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.

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.

Our 2007 chevy Tahoe had been driven for about an hour and then parked for approximately two hours. Upon starting the Tahoe with cold engine and pulling away from the curb there was an immediate smell of something toxic coming from the air vents followed by black smoke from the engine compartment. The vehicle was stopped and turned off and less than a minute later there were flames emanating from under the hood and within a couple of minutes the hood was blown open and the entire front of the car was engulfed in flames.

My truck is consuming lots of oil and gas. Took it for an oil change and they say it was no oil in it after putting in two quarts in two days ago. My truck was saying I had oil but I didnt by the stick. My stabilitrack and traction control light is on and it is running rough. The computer is reading a misfire in cylinder one. Got everything checked and I was told it is something inside the engine. I reafmd about alot of complaints on the same thing thats wrong with my truck. Their needs to be a recall on these engines with the amount of oil it consumes and damagjng the engine. . . Please tell me can you all help!!.

My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in November 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First I was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be deadly. In reviewing comments in the Chevroletforum. Com many consumers are having the same issues with the same results (a guessing game) why isn't this a recall?.

130,000 miles on this 2007 Tahoe. Had just exited the freeway and was going about 30 mph on a high traffic street (speed limit is 55) when my car started shaking and the engine light turned on, engine stabilizing, brake light turned on, track control stabilizing, every light/sensor turned on as my car was shutting down. The engine was still on and was shaking but I could not drive. I turned the car off for a few minutes and then turned it back on just so I can try to get back to work. Taking it to the shop after work to see what is happening.

I was driving down the road and I lost all power and all my lights came on on my dash I just about got hit from behind.

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.

I have 3 issues . Low power which read a lot of people have the same issue (bad torque converter). Bad oil loss. Which everyone seems to have . Which the won't fix . Transmission slipping which everyone is having and is not the transmission it's electrical. I was told to send a complaint in to you guys. I have read alot on this car and these are very common problems with the 07 Tahoe and I have all 3.

Drove car across town (2 miles @ 25 mph); parked car for 15 seconds. Car started to smoke in engine compartment. Got out, popped hood and engine already on fire. Called 911, fire department arrived within 10 minutes. Car towed. Car totaled by insurance company. Gm contacted, looked at pictures of burnt engine we emailed to them, gm will not physically inspect vehicle, but told us the Tahoe was too burnt up to determine cause of fire.

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.

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.

Truck burns an excessive amount of engine oil. I have to add a quart about every 800-1000 miles. I know that this is a common issue with this vehicle and a manufacturer error with the active fuel management control.

Dash is cracked in multiple places around airbag. Electrical system bugs out when driving in rain rngine consumes 2 quarts of oil in between changes.

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.

Was driving and when exiting freeway. Truck started shaking really bad and traction /stability control light came on. Engien light has been coming on and off for about a year. All they do is reset system and comes right back on a few days later. It been well taken care of. Bought it in 06 and paid it off in 08. This truck has been giving me many problem since 09. I even have a crake on dash board all the way to air bag since 08. Dealer said no recalls and is due to sun! bull. . . . I have been reading on-line and many people have simalier problems.

As I was driving down the interstate at a controlled speed of 70mph I suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. As this happened I felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. This is now happening every day I drive to work or anywhere I drive over 55mph. I have a 4 month old son and I am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. I have read that service centers can not fix this.

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.

There is a misfire and stabiltrac light that comes and goes intermittent the dealer don't know what's wrong I've changed out electrical parts all over the truck still cant find. Battery issues from beginning of trucks purchase now I drive today and have water leaking in the doors so much that fill up and spill inside. . I've learned that gm really doesn't care about their customer and its really sad seeing this is my third Tahoe and impala ss,, really thinking Toyota is gonna get my business unless gm can make things right for their customer.

Our 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe will not start. There have been four occasions where my family and I were getting ready to take a trip and when my husband went to turn the car on it would not start. We have had the vehicle jump started twice and have taken the car to antwerpen Chevrolet twice and each time we were told that there was no real problem. It happened again an no one seems to know what the problem is, this has become a big problem for my family and unfortunately we can't seem to get any help from anyone.
