POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2007 TAHOE. INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT CLUNK NOISE. THIS NOISE IS A NUISANCE AND DOESN'T FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMEDIATELY SO IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACE THE SHAFT INSTEAD OF DOING TEMPORARY GREASE JOBS. *TR

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS GETTING IN OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. AS SHE WAS CLOSING THE DOOR THE HANDLE NICKED HER FINGER AND CUT HER. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND THAT THE HANDLE HAD BEGAN TO PEEL AND HAD CREATED A SHARP EDGE. WE PUT A PIECE OF TAPE OVER IT AND HAVE HAD IT THAT WAY SINCE. SHE HAD A 1" CUT ON HER INDEX FINGER, WHICH WE TREATED WITH ALCOHOL AND A BAND-AID. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAD TO HAVE THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CLEANED 1AND 1/2 YEARS AGO ON MY CHEVY TAHOE. IT RECENTLY STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. THEN YESTERDAY DURING A HARD BRAKE TO AVOID DEBRIS IN THE ROAD THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. I DO NOT KNOW YET WHAT FAILED BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE BRAKE FLUID LEFT IN THE RESERVOIR. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN 1 RECALL FOR TAHOES REGARDING BRAKES, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND STARTS SHOWING WRONG SPEEDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE AS YOU SUDDENLY LOST IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING. I WAS CHECKING ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SUCH COMPLAINTS. I THINK DOT SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TAHOE Z71. IN LATE 2008 IT BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. DVD PLAYER, BATTERY DRAIN/DEAD, STEREO SYSTEM, WARNING MESSAGES, AND FINALLY THIS LAST TIME MY ENTIRE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED BOTH ELECTRONICALLY AND MECHANICALLY LEAVING US STRANDED FOR A WEEKEND. WE THEN HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE SNOW/ICE THINKING WE HAD SOME 4 WHEEL DRIVE BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON AND NO WARNING LIGHTS TOLD US OTHERWISE. WE COULD OF BEEN KILLED WITH NO 4 WHEEL DRIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AFTER A HUGE STORM. I PUT TRUST IN MY TAHOE AND IT LET ME AND MY FAMILY DOWN AND NOW WE WANT IT GONE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TOTAL OF 17 VISITS AND 33 DAYS FOR THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS. EVEN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WE HAVE HAD TO PAY A LOT OF OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES FOR REPAIRS AND RENTAL CARS. I NO LONGER TRUST THE VEHICLE. I TOO HAVE HAD THE TAILGATE HANDLE ISSUE AS WELL. 2-3 X NOW. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I TRIED TO GET A NEW CAR FROM THE LEMON LAW BUT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE TIME WISE. IT SEEMS THE CAR IS FLAWED AND NOT FIXABLE. IT HAS LESS THAN 60K MI ON IT. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS I WILL HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT TAKING ACTION. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEMS. STARTED WITH A BATTERY LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ON, WITH A GOOD CHARGE ON THE BATTERY AND FROM THE ALTERNATOR (BOTH CONFIRMED WITH ELECTRIC METER). ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK, AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. FILLING THE TANK AT THAT TIME TAKES 22-23 GALLONS, WITH A 23 GALLON TANK CAPACITY. ALSO GETTING A SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INTERMITTENTLY. CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURES, ALL TIRES SHOW 38 TO 42 PSI, OR OCCASIONALLY THE LFT OR LRT SHOWS --PSI. TIRE PRESSURES CONFIRMED WITH A TIRE GAUGE. SO FAR ALL OTHER GAUGES ARE WORKING GOOD. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE MORNING WHILE DRIVING, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND CHANGED LANES TO AVOID GETTING HIT. MY SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY EXPLAINATION. I CALLED GM TO REPORT THE INCIDENT, THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR WHO CAME OUT THE VERY NEXT DAY TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. HE TOOK PICTURES OF MY VEHICLE AND DOWNLOADED THE SENSOR INFORMATION. THE GM MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE IN AN EVENT OF A ROLLOVER. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE ROLLOVER NEVER HAPPENED AS THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. GM DENIED ANY FAULT AND DENIED MY CLAIM TO GET THE AIR BAGS AND MY SEAT BELTS FIXED. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHO ALSO INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AND REPLIED THAT THE CAR HAD A MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND THAT GM SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR MY DAMAGES. GM HAS CLOSED MY CLAIM AND WILL NOT TALK TO ME ANY MORE. GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE IN MY OPINION. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER GM EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT UNDER THAT CLAIM EITHER. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS, THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEGUN TO COME LOOSE AND PULL OFF THE VEHICLE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE PIECE IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND SNAPS INTO PLACE AND THUS HAS BECOME LOOSE. ALL 4 OF MY DOORS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT GM IS NOT COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY (I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL) BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A "TRIM" PIECE FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I WON'T BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AND HOPE THEY FAIL NEXT TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT AND I WOULD LIKE A RETURN OF MY PORTION OF TAXES GIVEN TO THEM FOR THEIR IGNORANCE, LACK OF QUALITY AND LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM. *TR
