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.
Air bag recalls, around my airbags the dashboard is cracked. My check engine light is always on because of the gas cap. So that makes my automatic start not work. Very disappointed. Would love to give my son a truck I worked so hard to pay for... But the airbags being recalled and dealership not having airbags to replace is very unfortunate for the safety of myself, my children, and my family. I wish gm would make it right!

130,000 miles on this 2007 tahoe. Had just exited the freeway and was going about 30 MPH on a high traffic street (speed limit is 55) when my car started shaking and the engine light turned on, engine stabilizing, brake light turned on, track control stabilizing, every light/sensor turned on as my car was shutting down. The engine was still on and was shaking but I could not drive. I turned the car off for a few minutes and then turned it back on just so I can try to get back to work. Taking it to the shop after work to see what is happening.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While driving 45 MPH, the service engine warning light, traction control warning light, and stabiltrac warning light illuminated.

The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 171,000.
My 2007 tahoe all of the sudden started shaking and bucking while driving with my wife and two small kids (on valentines! Wife was not happy). The service engine light came on as well as warning messages saying the traction control failed, check brake system and service stabilink system. It limped to our house and then it stalled and eventually was very hard to start. I took it to the dealership next morning and was told that the #6 lifter collapsed and they needed to check the camshaft to see if that was damaged. I'm still waiting on the call to see what the total damage is but I was told it was the active fuel management system. I also saw a lot of people's complaints online of the same thing. Gm needs to own up and recall this issue. The estimate I got was around $3,500-$4,500 to repair this.
I was driving and the engine light the traction light and the tire monitor system light lit up then the sign said engine power reduce and then the car engine started shaking really bad.
I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe and in the past 2 years I have codes p0449 & p0455 codes come up constantly, we have already replace the parts that those codes request evap purge, veat valve 3 times and the car keeps giving the same issues, it starts with asking to tight the gas cap (replaced twice with original gm parts) and then the engine light comes next
