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.

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.

Since november 11, 2014, the stability track turns off while driving. I recently relocated to philadelphia, pa from austin, texas. I have called several dealers and have been told it's a sensor (that according one honest dealer, doesn't exist). The worst moment of all was during a drive into work after moving to philadelphia. It was snowing maybe an inch or two, the stability control turned off on it's own. I went to break and my truck pulled to the right and bounced to a stop, narrowly avoiding a couple standing on the sidewalk. I managed to get to the office by driving 25 miles per hour for 10 miles. I again called several dealers one who agreed to look at my truck at no cost. He had my truck for the day and could not duplicate the issue. What I found was most of the dealers only drive the vehicle around the block, never more then a couple of minutes. It takes about 15 minutes at speeds around 45 to 65 miles per hour for this issue to show. When I asked the dealer to drive my truck in the same condition they stated they don't do that. So still no remedy for this issue. This makes no since that chevy has not put out any statements or explained this issue. They have to know this is a problem. I am wondering if this isn't another "hide the findings until we get caught" approach. Someone has to know what is causing this. I think its time for a few lawsuits or class action suit. Seems these guys don't do anything until you hit them in their pockets.

This is the second incident. Was driving at 45 MPH and made a turn. The tahoe loss power and stalled. The computer read reduced engine power and stability trak off. This is bothersome being that this can happen anywhere at anytime. Afraid of possible accident or worse.

My 2007 chevrolet tahoe will often show that I have more than a quarter tank of fuel, but will suddenly stall. It does not happen all the time, but rarely do I let the tank drop below a quarter due to the issue. It has stalled out both in my area neighborhood as well as on the highway. Also, the digital readout showing estimated mileage left, has shown above 100 miles when the vehicle stalls. The only way to restart the vehicle is to add 2 gallons of fuel or more.
