The o2 sensor can lose from its housing. I had never done any repairs to this o2 sensor. Which it is located at position bank 1 sensor 2. The sensor connection came lose from where it is held on to the frame. It caused the wiring to get slack and wrap around the drive shaft. This happened as I was driving home from work. I started to hear a noise coming from the vehicle. As I looked underneath the SUV I seen the o2 sensor was caught on the shaft. I thought it was just a once time incident that had occurred to me. But as I went to the salvage yard to get a harness. They told me this was a common issue on these model trucks.
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe electrical complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wow. I am seeing all my same issues so thought I better enter my info as well. First the horn was all of a sudden blaring without anyone being in it in the middle of the night 2.5 years ago and now I do not have a horn, and none of the controls work on the steering wheel including the radio and cruise control (I question if the air bag is active on the driver side because of this). Then, the rear lift gate all of a sudden will not open (maybe last winter). 6 months ago, the indicators on the dash are out so I can't see my odometer or anything else you can access on the dash. Recently the passenger side window just randomly fell off the track. Recently, everything on the driver's side door does not work electrically: power door lock, and power window. And I find that gm will not address at a minimum the electrical issues? Not good.
Well there's a couple of recalls on the vehicle and I never received anything telling me when can I go get it fixed
On june 4, 2020 I had ny front window broken I took it to change the front glass and the cut of the viper alarm I had on the car so the alarm was just turning on and on I try to turn it on to see if it would stop and it didn't so I decided to take off the positive cable from the battery to see if taking it off it would stop and it didn't so I put back on and try to start the car and it didn't nothing dead just the lights of the check engine stabilitrak and traction and until this date can find what to do with it I change the fuse box and still don't turn on.
My 07 tahoe has been having stabilitrak and traction control on for months I've thrown several different parts at my tahoe it'll work great for a day or two then the codes pop right back on my dashboard causing the steering wheel to lock up and the truck to lose engine power and jerk around while driving. This is a serious issue I've had to be towed home , change several parts and can get no answers as to why it keeps coming up. Please please please recall it for this issue I have seen many complaints about the same thing for the stabilitrak and traction control to keep coming on and not knowing why please gm yall are the best and need to fix it!!!!!!! Very tired of throwing money away!!
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe will sporadically display two m.I.l. 's - service traction control and service stabilitrak. I have spent close to $4,000 on different parts, as well as having the heads completely rebuilt about 5 months ago. The only trouble codes it shows when hooked to a scanner are a p0300 (generic misfire detected) p0301 (misfire cylinder 1) and 0443 (evap emission control system valve circuit). After several months of research online, it is blatantly obvious that there are several thousand people experiencing the exact same issues. It appears there is no direct surefire resolution. But rather a common occurrence that is sometimes very labor intensive and extremely invasive to track down the specific problem. I have replaced the brake light control switch, added a secondary backup battery as well as additional positive and negative cables, replace the plugs, plug wires and ignition coil packs. It seems to be a recurring issue and at this point I have as much money invested in repairing the vehicle as I have spent purchasing it. I am not the type of person to sell this truck and let's have the misfortune of dealing with such issues but after several thousand dollars spent and discovering that it is a very common problem amongst chevrolet / gm suvs and trucks, particularly with the 5.3 l engine, I feel general motors should at least cover the expense of repairing it or let me trade it in towards a newer model with a sufficient credit applied. The issues I'm experiencing seem to happen when I am stopping or accelerating above 40 miles per hour. If I am simply cruising along at 25 miles per hour steadily and not accelerating or breaking, it doesn't seem to be as prevalent. But as previously stated, it is sporadic and continues to reoccur incessantly.
I have a recall on my air bag and I want it fixed before it becomes a problem
Electrical problems resulting from burned washer fluid heater
While driving my 2007 chev tahoe today, while in motion, the stabilitrak warning came up on my dash along with traction control warning. Then the engine started struggling. I googled these problems and it appears gm recalled models from 2014 and 2015 with the same issues. They need to recall all impacted models. If this causes the engine to lose power, it could cause a dangerous situation.
Recalls on numerous gm vehicles for catching fire: the vehicle was setting in driveway for over 7 hours and neighbors were awaken by loud explosion and looked out and saw flames under the hood. They woke myself and my daughter up out of deep sleep and car was engulfed in flames. From front bumper to back cargo area total loss. Fire department came but couldn't salvage the car. The garage door, garage entry door and downstairs basement were damaged ad possible replacement on them. There has never been any signs of over heating, or smoking, and any type of burning smells.
Instrument cluster malfunction. Not showing the odometer or drive tree (prnd321) speed gauge is still working. Seeing multiple issues with people sodering on the boards of cluster to fix this problem.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the instrument cluster failed to illuminate without warning. Also, there was a crack on the front passenger side of the dashboard near the front passenger air bag. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer stated that there was no recall for the instrument cluster and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The contact was unaware of nets campaign number: (air bags) at the time the vehicle was purchased. The contact called sax motor co. At (701) 483-4411 (located at 52 st e, dickinson, nd 58601). The dealer confirmed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was notified and was not able to confirm when the parts would become available. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
No power on the driver side door (window, mirror, and lock)
Taillight/headlight malfunction
My car has been in the shop for 7 weeks. I've spent $6,000 having the engine rebuilt as there was cylinder 7 misfire. However, after all this I'm still getting the same error codes and they now believe its electrical and the whole car needs to be re-wired. When it broke down originally, it was in neutral in a car wash...
Defective instrument cluster - this gauge cluster has been notorious for being defective in a great many of gm vehicles. I had to pay out of pocket to fix the cluster in my 2005 tahoe because gm wouldn't fix the issue. That should never be the case. When these clusters fail they can lead to massive amounts of injuries due to improper readings which drivers depend on to make correct driving decisions. The u.s. Government should mandate that any device placed into a vehicle which gives drivers information for which they depend on accuracy to operate that vehicle should be covered for replacement no matter the age of the vehicle as this is in its simplest terms a matter of safety. Several phone calls and 1 trip to the dealership indicates this is a "wear and tear" stance the company is taking with this issue. I found out my cluster was defective when I received a speeding ticket when my gauge clearly indicated a proper speed limit on cruise control. The officer stated that I was going 17 MPH faster than what was allowed. This was my first ticket so I was let off with a warning but to have my vehicle checked if that was to be my reasoning. Defective devices such as this cannot be allowed to continue as the norm.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the battery had been drained as a failure progressed concerning the air bags. The dealers (rosner chevrolet, 800 s harbor city blvd, melbourne, fl 32901, (321) 723-3611 and bob steele chevrolet, 2800 fl-520, cocoa, fl 32926, (321) 632-6700) were notified of the failure and provided no specific diagnosis. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. In addition, the contact obtained an onstar report to specify the diagnostic failure codes that flashed each time the failure occurred. The contact was unable to start the vehicle as the electrical shortage and the air bag failure progressed. The vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 218,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
My chevrolet tahoe, despite regular maintenance per schedule, loses on quart of oil every 2500 miles. There are no leaks, smoking exhaust etc. The dealership told me this is a well known problem of unknown origin. The electrical systems on the vehicle have been a nightmare. The ignition will at times fail to turn off despite removing the key. The cruise control will pop out of cruise mode for no reason and will often fail to reengage immediately. Lithia chevrolet in redding refuses to discuss repair or replacement, stating it is not their problem. I also have a recalled takata airbag that lithia refuses to replace.
I have a vehicle with a takata airbag. I contacted lithia chevrolet (redding calif) who refused to replace the recalled airbag, stating it was an incomplete recall at this time.
I been having problem out of everything for a while my lights on
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While entering the vehicle, the contact noticed white smoke and flames from the rear passenger seat. The contact extinguished the fire. There were no injuries and a report was not filed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The digital information center (dic) located in the instrument panel cluster (ipc) has stopped working. However, all of the non-digital gauges such as speedometer, fuel, etc still work properly. All of the digital displayed info such as odometer, gear select, mpg, tire psi, etc, is no longer visisble. This defect/malfunction occurred unexpectedly about 4 months ago. The defect/malfunction occured while the vehicle was parked (not moving) in my driveway. I simply got in and turned the key on to start the engine, and the dic was noticeably blank. I looked on-line and called several dealerships for info regarding repairs,, and I quickly learned that this exact defect/malfunction is extremely common among 2007-2016 chevrolet and gmc vehicles. Gm should be held responsible by issuing a recall. Also, for no reason and without any cause, my dashboard cracked above the passenger side airbag. This is also a very common defect with my specific vehicle make/model. If the airbags were to deploy, would they deploy properly? And even if the airbags deploy properly, im afraid shards of the plastic from dashboard will shoot all over the car resulting in injury.
Takata inflators I live in the northeast region and I believe my car is affected by the deflation of the airbags. Also I have an electrical issue where some of the speakers would work and then have a short and now the vehicle outlets in the front has stopped working. While driving I noticed the speakers would work and then short and come back on . Not all the front speakers are not putting out any sound and the outlets stopped working. Lastly the dash has been cracking . The crack starts from the driverside and ends in the center of the front dash. I happen to get in the car and notice a crack in the dash that gradually started to get bigger.
Top of fuel pump rotting away and leaking fuel and fumes. Led inst. Cluster not working, unable to est, mileage or any engine info that is posted. Not a moving part not relegated to wear and tear. Should not have gone blank as odometer is a mandated item in a vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that while at a highway rate of speed, smoke entered the interior of the vehicle within the vents and dashboard. The area of the dashboard and vents erupted into flames as well as under the hood. A fire fighter extinguished the flames and report was filed. The contact sustained minor injuries to the face and hands with no further medical treatment. The vehicle was towed to a impound lot. The insurance company was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. Without warning, the driver side electric control panel began smoking and caught fire. Smoke entered the vehicle and then dissipated. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 10v240000 (electrical system) and 08v441000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Crack in the dash on drivers side. Interior door handles have caused cuts to hands. Service battery charging system light continues to come on. I have had the car serviced & mechanics can not locate the issue. Seems to be an electrical malfunction.
The vehicle has a faulty throttle body and throttle position sensor that cause the vehicle to go into "engine power reduced" mode which basically means the vehicle doesn't move. The engine is still running, but the vehicle is inoperable. This has happened to me dozens of times, in intersections, and I have to roll off the side of the road. Additionally, the intake gaskets leak allowing fluid into the engine. The dash cracked. We have also replaced the air ride shocks (ltz model), the connector will wear a hole in the shock. We have also replaced broken motor mounts and tie rod ends. Additionally, the vehicle was constantly running hot and we replaced the thermostat and radiator. The vehicle leaks oil and our mechanic said that it's the rear main seal that needs to be replaced.
Rear end went out at 150k. Dash cracked near passenger airbag radio don't work if it's raining
