2007 Chevrolet Tahoe: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Jul 25, 2022 · Engine · FL

The oil keeps disappearing in the car I fill it with 7 Quartz of oil and two months or less it’s all gone I heard there was a issue with this before but no recall my engine almost blew two weeks after a oil change I thought that’s wrong I have oil so I had it reset then three months later my engine was ticking so I took it in and there was no oil they put 7 more quartz of oil and no again it’s all gone I had more put back in and I think this should be a recall I called the dealer and they said they won’t do anything unless I pay for it to be fixed but it’s been a known issue for years and they don’t do nothing about it I am a young person that doesn’t have $3,000 to pay to fix this issue I believe Chevy should.

My issues started almost two years ago when dropping my child off at daycare. I was on the highway and noticed a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. At first I was not sure what it was until I pulled in the daycare and it was evident something was wrong. At that point the stablitrak and traction control light started flashing. I had to have the vehicle towed because I tried to move it and when I put it in gear it jerked so hard I was scared the engine blew. I took it to the certified chevy mechanic, cylinder 6 misfire. We replaced the plugs, coil packs etc, trying to see what the issue could be. He finally replaced all 16 lifters, cam, head gaskets and oil pump as well. Once he got it together, it was still a misfire on cylinder 6. He took it apart to look at the pistons, they were fine. The top of the motor he practically everything brand new on it. The chevy dealership are aware of the lifter issues with this vehicle and blatantly told me, I need a new engine or could purchase a new vehicle. Still no resolve as of june 23, 2020! Please issue a recall on this as so many of these vehicles have this issue and it's not fair to us that they designed the engine so poorly.

Our extra third vehicle tahoe, is driven on the weekends or when the entire family is going out. On october 10th, we notice a knocking noise while driving or sitting idle. We took the car to the dealership on october 11th and was told we needed a new engine or to buy a new vehicle. We took the car to a local mechanic on october 13th for a second opinion and was told the car was 2 quarts low in oil. Which was a major red flag to the mechanic. Now, we have to purchase a new engine.

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.

I have a 2007 chevrolet tahoe, I was driving up to a red light and stopped completely. When the light turned green I pressed on the accelerator and the my truck made a loud knocking noise and would not go forward. It would go in reverse and a lower gear but not in regular drive. I only have 21,000 miles on it and the transmission has given out. I had it towed to the nearest dealership and they are breaking down the transmission to see what exactly the problem is.
