2007 Chevrolet Tahoe electrical complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving down the road and I lost all power and all my lights came on on my dash I just about got hit from behind
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.
Door handles are peeling and caused my child to get a cut and bleed, lights on inside of the truck keep turning on and off seem spoke electrical shortage
Air bag lights came on and sensors need to be replaced I should not have to pay for this being it is a safety issue and it is defect on gmc part.
The power lift gate for my car is not working properly. It does one of several things, works correctly when it wants to. Doesn't open at all when prompted, opens half way then shuts on its own, opens all the way and shuts on its own, or opens at random times when after just locking and securing the car. Also when open and prompted to close with the button/s, it will either close, not close or close half way and re open. Today my power lift gate decided to open suddenly on its own when I locked the car and stepped about 2 feet away, in just that moment a passing car in the parking lot was coming by and had to suddenly stop to avoid hitting my now raising power lift gate. Need less to say he was inches from hitting the corner of the gate with the front windshield of his car.
Every thing electrical goes crazy every once in awhile,check engine,service tra, air conditioning, seats,brand new battery drains and more

My tire monitoring system went out and now my keyless entry remote does not work. This same thing has happened to my daughter's and her husband's vehicle that he drives for work and they are all 2007 chevrolet tahoes. This is quite an expensive repair and I feel that 3 people that own the same make model and year that something must be faulty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact observed the plastic ring around the ignition switch detached from the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the dashboard was fractured on the driver side of the vehicle and the horn failed. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed.

Oil consumption of at least a quart between oil changes, misfiring at idle causing check engine light, stability track control service light. Chevrolet tells me there is not even 1 service bulletin or recall notice on my tahoe.
I have 3 issues . Low power which read a lot of people have the same issue (bad torque converter).bad oil loss. Which everyone seems to have .which the won't fix . Transmission slipping which everyone is having and is not the transmission it's electrical. I was told to send a complaint in to you guys. I have read alot on this car and these are very common problems with the 07 tahoe and I have all 3.

The odometer on these vehicles last just long enough to get out of the factory warranty and then they go out. Mine went out with approximately 110k miles. With this portion of the instrument cluster not lit you can not see your odometer miles nor what gear you are in. By reading online I found that there are a lot of cases just like mine. Gm needs to have a recall on this. It is not the consumers fault that gm has faulty equipment in these vehicles. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Vehicle electrical system repeatedly shuts off while driving. Loss of critical components that are required to control vehicle. No warning whatsoever...
It was parked at the store parking lot and suddenly it was on fire it was totally destroyed the front, the seats and all the motor and nearest parts.
While driving it he vehicle it shuts off, all of the gauges go to zero the power steering goes out and I am no longer able to accelerate until I restart the car. The lights inside and out go off and on . The doors lock and unlock continuously,. In the past year this has happened 3 or 4 times.
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.
I was stopped at a stop sign when all the lights on the dashboard went out and smoke started coming out of the ignition switch. I turned the vehicle off and removed the key. The smoke stopped but the dashboard started making weird ticking noises.
While driving on I-75 in florida coming from kentucky (relocating my mother in law), I and a friend who was taking a turn driving smelled an odor similar to sulfur or natural gas. Within 10-15 minutes, smoke started coming out of the front driver engine compartment. Driver immediately pulled to the emergency lane as a fireball exploded from the same area as the smoke. We both dove out of the vehicle on the passenger side. The entire vehicle with nearly all the contents burned, all the way down to the tires.
They unlock or lock by itself, seats start moving around, radio will act up, the lcd for the dvd player stops working some times, air conditioning won't work on some vents, side mirrors, back trunk door won't work,lights in the car goes dim some times while driving, there is a brand new battery in there, some times once in a while it won't start.
Smell of burning plastic in passenger compartment. Windows, mirrors and door lock controls stopped working on driver door control panel. Removed driver side door panel and discovered one of the plugs to the door controls was melted and discolored. Unplugged. No fuses were tripped.
Driver's seat belt does not lock into the receptive device. 2nd row seat belt "tore" when pulled to fasten. Electrical issue causing speaker and microphone to become inaudible therefore preventing communication with onstar in the event of a crash, nor alerting driver of vehicle standard safety alerts (low gas, open door indicator, tire pressure indicator, etc.).
I just bought this 07 chevy tahoe before 3 months ago, the problems start one by one, when the weather start hot the dashboard broken, dic light dead and rnd123 light too, now the gm dealer want more than a $500 to fix the cluster, I checked online and I found thousands of gm owners they have same problem, why gm don't do a recall on the message center light and the dashboard.
Truck will not start at times, have been to the dealer multiple times and they cannot find a problem. This has happened in a previous chevy tahoe 2007 lt that I owned prior and the dealer could not find the problem. It 50% of the time will start up if I allow it to sit for moment, at other times I have to jump it. It currently has new battery, which did not help the problem.
2007 chevorlet 2007 tahoe ltz with 62k. I parked the car as usual and locked the doors using the remote. The next morning I went into the car and it smelled like smoke and something had caught fire. None of the driver side door functions worked. I removed the drivers side master switch and the wiring harness plug had burnt our and melted itself to the master switch. The short destroyed both the master switch and wiring harness the car did not trip any fuses in the process. This was a very scary situation considering the car could of completely caught fire in my driveway. There was no moisture in the vehicle when this incident occurred. I have pictures of the parts that burnt out. I brought the car to the dealer to have it inspected which said their was no recall for this vehicle.
Myself and a friend were driving on the i75 to cincinnatti, ohio and my truck was fine, no issues, no problems, and all of the sudden halfway there there was construction signs and majority of the vehicles that were driving in the right lane had to hurry up and switch lanes, in the process of getting over myself an others hit this pothole that was in the middle of the lanes that was supposedly being worked on ,but there were no cones or anything around it. As soon as I hit it and was trying to get over my stabilitrak and traction light came on and my truck started jerking real bad, by the time I actually made it to where I was going my engine light had came on too and my truck was acting like it was going to cut off , it started smoking and I stopped by a gas station and people there tried to help me and told me it was best for me to try to make it home which is xenia, ohio or I was going to get stuck in cincinnatti. It took a couple days for me to actually get it in the shop which is lang's chevrolet in bevercreek, ohio and when I took it there none of the body shop men knew what it was, then because of that they said we can take the engine apart but your going to be charged $1500.00 and if it's not that then I will be charged for them to put it back together and whatever I want them to do. Now being that you are a certified auto mechanic isnt it your job to know what it is? I'm bringing my truck back to where I payed cash for it and no one knows what it is. To me that is crazy and I'm still having the same issues I'm having with it before. I've took it to several body shops and have payed money to have it looked at for something that it wasnt and no one can tell me whats wrong. So I feel that chevrolet has failed me and so has gm since they own them now. If you dont know whats wrong with it then why sell them? Everyone with this problem is being ignored and its sad.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that he had to replace the battery multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was unable to diagnose a failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the recurring failure. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage 131,194.
Back passenger doors fill up with water after rain. Door has a drain hole but is blocked by dust shield causing water to stay in door and cause damage to electrical components.
I was on my way to work, driving approximately 55 MPH and all of a sudden the "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", ABS light, check engine light all came on, simultaneously. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlined, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" . When the transmission shifted, the whole tahoe jerked. When I arrived at my destination I attempted to re start the car and it wont start.
