After approximately 3 weeks after purchasing I notice a noise and a delay in gear shifts so I took it to the dealership and they had their mechanic look at it and came up with the transmission was bad so they ordered one and tried to install it and when I went to pick it up and drove it several days the same problem was there so I took it back and they continued to try and fix it two other times within 3 months now saying I went over my 10,000 miles so I need to pay for the transmission. I drive the car maybe 5 months and the other months it has been in the shop.
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.

The contact was finally able to shift into reverse and the vehicle moved. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, but the failures still persist. The current and failure mileages were 15,287.
I have a brand new 2007 chevy Tahoe, the car was driving normal, I was heading to the on ramp of the freeway, but to get into the freeway I had to make a right and then the on ramp is in front of me. Of course you also had cars coming from the right of me. When I saw a gap where I could go, I floored the gas, to go into the freeway, when I heard a loud noise, and all of the sudden the car slowed down. I had to think quick being that the car was an automatic, I shifted to a lower gear, the car started moving but it was making a grinding noise. I finally got out of the way. And I called onstar, my transmission had given. On a 6 month old 2007 Tahoe. They took it to the dealer, at the dealership they replaced a gear inside the transmission, to no avail. Finally they ended up replacing the whole transmission, because they couldn't figure what was wrong the car. No warning lights or nothing. The guy at the dealership told me, that this was so weird that the techs in michigan wanted the whole transmission shipped to them. They had the SUV for a total of 21 days.
