ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 TAHOE SPUTTERED AND HESITATED AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. AS I STOPPED STABILITY CONTROL / TRACTION CONTROL DASHLIGHTS APPEARED AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE , THEY BOTH BLINKED AND DASH READ SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. AS I PULLED FROM STOP SIGN THE TRANNY SLAMMED INTO 2ND GEAR WITH A BANG AND I WAS BARELY ACCELERATING PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT JUST TURNED OVER. IT TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET IT TO START, AND WHEN IT DID I SMELLED A STRONG SMELL OF UNBURNED FUEL FROM THE EXHAUST. I WILL CONTACT GM TO FILE COMPLAINT AS MY TAHOE HAS ONLY 97K ON IT. HOPEFULLY IT'S COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY REAR LIFTGATE AND WINDOW FOR MY 2005 CHEVY TAHOE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. I'VE READ A BLOG OF ALMOST 300 DIFFERENT OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ...WWW.CHEFSEATTLE.COM/BLOG/SITE-NEWS/SUBURBAN-REAR-LIFTGATE-WONT-UNLOCK-HOW-TO-FIX. IS CHEVROLET GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE? WHAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN THE VEHICLE AND PEOPLE NEED TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE REAR LIFTGATE DOOR? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF CHARGING OWNERS ALMOST $500.00 TO FIX THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT OUR FAULT? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE REAR LIFT GATE SOLENOID GOES BAD WHICH PREVENTS REAR WINDOW AND DOOR FROM UNLOCKING. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE ON 05 AND 06 TAHOE, SUBURBAN, HUMMER AND YUKONS WHICH I'M ASSUMING ARE USING THE SAME PART. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. *TR

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. *TR
