Starter Problems of Chevrolet Tahoe

I purchased this vehicle used in the fall of 2019 at a used car dealers lot in oregon. In the summer of 2019 we started experiencing random no start problems. The first incidence we thought it was a faulty starter even though we could jump/short it across the terminal, and start the vehicle. After replacing the vehicles starter with a remanufactured non gm starter, we started having more no start problems. Remedy was arcing the starter posts across one another, and then vehicle would crank and start. We had the vehicle inspected by a gm dealer, our local mechanic, and they stated it had to be "dead" in order to diagnose the problem. Then a week later we had the car go into "anti-theft mode" while driving, and the speed and transmission slowed the vehicle nearly to a stop ,- all the lights started blinking, dic warning lights started flashing check stability, check blind side, check 4 wheel dr. , ect. . . Fortunately I was not far from home and parked the car in the driveway and shut it off. Immediately I tried to re-start the vehicle and we had a "no-crank" issue again. I checked and replaced all fuses relating to the stater even though not blown. We then had it towed to our local mechanic who is ase certified and he completely dismantled the under hood electronic fuse block, and the communication fuse block under the drivers side dash and to no avail- found no wiring or fuse problems. He diagnosed over 400 connections, and could not find anything contributing to the problems. He stated as soon as he unbolted the under hood fuse block the car started, but he continued the diagnostics as stated above. There is a third fuse block under the dash that sits beside the communication block, and has fuses that were checked as well. During July, August, October 2019, we had numerous no start/crank instances. Remedy is a large screwdriver and arcing the starter.

This vehicle was leaking oil from the engine, front and back brakes were faulty, the starter was going bad, the electrical system for the back windows were not in working condition. The vehicle would display sensor lights to have the vehicle engine checked but then after about 2 days it would not show a displaying message it would also effect the audio fuse that allows the audio system to function. The tires were bald on the front driver side and left back passenger side. The seat belts were difficult to enter into latch in order to secure seatbelt.

On an exit ramp getting ready to merge with traffic and the engine cuts off. I was able to stop. Turned the key repeatedly, and though the radio and dash lights came on the engine would not turn over. I had the Tahoe in "park" my foot on the brake. Nothing. Shifted it to neutral and tried: nothing. Movd the column up and down: nothing. Pounded on the column: amen it started. Drove to mechanic: could not duplicate problem. No data in computer indicating any problem. 6 weeks go by and Tahoe will not start in my driveway. Go though the same litany again. Finally started. My wife takes my Tahoe to lowe's in January car will not start. She tried so many times she drained the battery. I hooked up the jumper cables and it started immediately. I take it to mechanic and he "thinks" it's part of the ignition module, but doesn't know for sure. The part alone is $250. I decline to spend money on a maybe. Then for 4 months no problems. May 31st 2015, Tahoe will not start. It started fine may 29th. Not only would it not start, but the battery was dead. Radio was out of sequence by 8 hours. Charged the battery and Tahoe still would not start. Had a friend who is a mechanic come over to look at it and here's the part the really ticks me off. I get in and without any fuss the darn thing started, turned it off and it started, did this 20 times, it started every time. I would conclude that it was the starter, except for the fact that two times it shut off while I was driving it. We own three Tahoe's. 2002, 2003, and 2004. I don't have this problem with the 2002, and 2003 Tahoe's. Is this an ignition problem other's have experienced. Does it have any connection to the other Chevrolet ignition problems. I have two young son's and will not drive this Tahoe, with them in it.

It started on oct. 15, 2013, I went outside o start my truck and it would not start I had to get a jump for it to turn over. It happens everyday. I replaced the battery as well as the starter recently. I have to put it on charge every other night since something in the electrical system is causing it to drain. I have yet to find out what. There is nothing left on at night or when I park it during the day. I am trying to find out if there is a possible wiring issue that is causing something to kick back on & run when it is not started. I have heard other people complaining about the same issue for the same year Tahoe that I have; but there seems to be no one addressing it.

While driving the vehicle, the stopped blowing and then begin to start blowing about 20minutes later. The vehicle also begin to smell of smoke at one point. The control buttons for the rear passenger windows stop working. The speakers begin to go in/ out of play and the rear windows would only work from the driver's door control. The window button then begin to control the level that the hat would blow at. Door controls stop working for some doors at a stop and the door would only open from the outside. After starting the vehicle, the door would then begin to work again. Electrical controls for the child proof were inoperable for backseat passengers. Speakers going in/ out of play while driving and the heater blower also going in/ out of working condition. Window control would make the speakers come on/ off at times. Battery would be drain from electrical problems and need a jump-off to begin back working. Battery, starter and alternator checks at dealership were perform with no problems noted but vehicle would still do unfamiliar things such as heater blower, speakers and control switches performing at their own times. Heater voltage draining the battery and also causing electrical problems. Vehicle will not perform as expected due to malfunctions of electrical modules and unknown control modules affecting the heater, speakers, windows and doors.

We noticed the speedometer and the battery was losing charge for several months. We have replaced the battery multiple times and had alternator and starter checked but could not find anything wrong with them. Did not take the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer cause couldn't afford it the computer analyzing cost. Looked up on computer and in 2009 there was a recall on the "cluster" of the 2003 Tahoe and we were never notified. Chevrolet now says the recall has expired. We did not change addresses at all during this time period. (I also have a friend with a 2003 Tahoe and she did not receive a notice of recall either and has the same problems). What do I do about getting this problem fixed without it costing me a great deal of money. If they know something is wrong with one of their vehicles they should correct the problem especially if someone has a vehicle with a problem and never received a recall notice.

Less than two weeks after I purchased the truck the battery I went to start the truck and the batter was dead. I got a jump for but a few days later, the same thing happened. I took my truck to the dealer and they replaced it however less than two months later, I had trouble starting it again; this time the car would take a few seconds to turn over when I turned the ignition and sometimes I would have to turn the key back and then try again before it started. I took my truck back in to the dealer and this time they replaced the starter. Over the last year, the ignition still does the same thing and if I sit and listen to the radio with the car off, the battery will die requiring a jump start. The battery went dead again about two weeks ago and while waiting for someone to give me a jump I tried the ignition again and this time the car started. Two days ago, I started my truck and all of the instruments were dead. I checked the fuses and they were fine so I started researching online to discover many more complaints of the same nature detailing electrical problems with the battery, starter and instrument panel. Two days after the instruments went out, again the truck wouldn't start when sitting with my truck off and my cell phone plugged into the charger. I waited 20 minutes and turned the ignition and after it clicked a few times, the car started and the instruments came back on. I'm tired of the dealer telling me they don't know what the problem could be when it's clearly an electrical defect and others are and have been having the same problem with 2007 Tahoe's. This needs to be remedied ASAP!.

2007 chevy Tahoe ltz has multiple electrical issues. Last year, I started noticing issues in may. Car exhibited random starting failures (no starter turning - like dead battery) which will resolve and begin functioning on its own after time passed. Battery was replaced by dealer with no resolution. Major fluctuations and activation of the warning lights in the dash ( abs, suspension service, traction control, backup assistance, cruise control, check engine, all needle gauges fluctuate randomly, trip computer information deactivates randomly) noted during normal driving. Door locks also randomly lock while driving or idling. Windshield wipers periodically turn and washer fluid is expressed. The transmission shift roughly when these issues are being seen. Also, the air conditioner will cease cooling the air during these times but continue to run the blower fan ( just uncooled air). All these problems will come and go randomly. All these symptoms were reported and the car was taken to the dealer in summer 2009. Multiple cpu modules were replaced and the car seemed better. Now the issues are arising again and more frequently. The 2007 Tahoe ltz was taken to the dealer again yesterday. Gm personnel were very confrontational when discussion the issues of a design/production/manufacturing defect, yet the service manager could practically recite verbatim the issues I was having as I started to describe the initial problems. He admitted that this was very common , and he stated the bcm could be out. That along with several other modules were replaced already last year. I have heard and read numerous similar problems on this year Tahoe. Someone within the regulating agencies needs to step in and force a review. Gm already charged me $3000+ last year to "fix" this. Now, they are already balking at the idea that there is a gm manufacturing or quality issue causing all these frequent issues. The consumer needs to be protected. . Soon.

The heater fan does not run when I automatically start the vehicle with my remote starter/keyfob. What good is it to start your vehicle to warm it up if the fan doesn't start up to defrost your windshield? the gm remote starter was installed and programmed by the dealer after purchase. When it was checked, the fan ran and then didn't . I got it to run only if I am 3 feet away and start the vehicle (or sitting in it) too funny, I guess at that point I may as well use the key!@.

The battery in my 1999 Tahoe has started leaking from the postive post and has done $ 480 damage to the cables and starter motor. The service rep said that it had been leaking for a while. I had it in for service just 10 days before, and nothen was said about a leak. Reailable said that the battery is a 6 yr. Battery, but when it is put into a new vehicle the warrenty is for 3 yrs or 36,000 miles. He said that delco has a problem with their side post batterys and they are changing out a lot of them, but because I have over 36,000 miles, I will have to pay for my work. When I bought the vehicle, I was told that it would not need a tune up for 100,000 miles and it has a maintance free battery. Here it is 28 months later and only 59,000 miles and the battery has done $480. 00 of damage, and I find out it is happing a lot with delco batterys. This can be a hazard, because the acid gets on driveways and kids play there. When I bought the vehicle, I ask fro a gm extented warrenty. I paid $540. 00 for this and now I find out that I got some other warrenty, not the gm one and it doesn't cover batterys. What is the consumer suppose to do. I have had the regular maintance require by gm done at reliable and only 10 days eariler it was in their shop for oil change and greased and I was not notified of this damage. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. To make thing worse, I was charged $34. 95 by reliable to run a diagnosis test to determine the battery was leaking from the post. The service rep raised the hood when I carried it in and said it is leaking from the post, this is a problem with delco batterys. I don't see why a test was then ran.

My steering has locked on me while driving, my car would not start due to crack in the battery and acid leak, my car had to be towed to repair shop due to starter cable popping off. Currently, I am stranded due to my brakes losing power somehow.
