general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe

Front airbag and rollover airbag are not working.

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.

Stabiltrakar and only half the motor is running.

I can not put gas in my vehicle I have to pump gas very slowly & when I go on road trips my stabilitrak & traction control light comes on.

My SUV gas hand doesn't work. Can be driving down the road after putting gas in it gas hand drops to low fuel and stays there until no gas in the SUV.

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.

Cylinder 1,3,5,7 in engine has misfires, this enging has the afm and tjevv4/v8 mode is wearing out the engines and causing them to fail. My engine has had the valve lifters fail. My engine now has a tapping sound, and after taking to garage they have informed me this is an ongping issue with this year of Tahoe and problem is very common and they said it is s bad design. I was driving 70mph on the highway when cylinders 13,5,7 started misfiring, car went from 70mph to less then 40 mph and started shaking and studderring, aslnost got tearended on the highway because of this. After garage inspected vehicle they have determined the valve lifters, cam shaft are bad in the engine and have cause the traction control and stabiltrack errors in my Tahoe. So now I have to get the engine rebuilt because of gm bad active fuel management design,(afm) I have been complaining of the issue since my Tahoe had been using a quart of oil every oil change.

Takata recall engine power reduced, stabilitrak needs servicing. I've replaced parts twice same problems again. Very dangerous. Ive seen numerous complaints of this. I need help. Vehicle will slow down and not accelerate.

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.

Air bag recalls, around my airbags the dashboard is cracked. My check engine light is always on because of the gas cap. So that makes my automatic start not work. Very disappointed. Would love to give my son a truck I worked so hard to pay for. . . But the airbags being recalled and dealership not having airbags to replace is very unfortunate for the safety of myself, my children, and my family. I wish gm would make it right!.

After fueling their is a strong smell of gas upon start up that lingers for about 5 minutes, also false codes pop up in dash display.

This is the second incident. Was driving at 45 mph and made a turn. The Tahoe loss power and stalled. The computer read reduced engine power and stability trak off. This is bothersome being that this can happen anywhere at anytime. Afraid of possible accident or worse.

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe and in the past 2 years I have codes p0449 & p0455 codes come up constantly, we have already replace the parts that those codes request evap purge, veat valve 3 times and the car keeps giving the same issues, it starts with asking to tight the gas cap (replaced twice with original gm parts) and then the engine light comes next.

Well there's a couple of recalls on the vehicle and I never received anything telling me when can I go get it fixed.
