2007 Chevrolet Tahoe: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Aug 11, 2021 · Electrical, Engine · CA

The first problem was the cluster , it completely went off . I took it to a mechanic he said he fixed it . It works for one day then completely shut off again, I can not see what gear I am in , any alert that I need to see for warning and saftey completely off in the cluster . . Shortly after the first issue I noticed 2 cracks on my dashboard ,on both driver and passenger side of the vehicle . I had not put a lot of thought into that as it didn’t seem like a safety concern up until I’ve read several post of others with same issue . ( I’m guessing a fire should be expected anytime because of others stories I have read off here the cracks have lead to fires ) Another issue is I have to add quart oil to my Tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . I’ve taken it to have that fixed and each time was told there is no leak . I get the works done each oil change and still have to add oil 2 weeks after a new air filter oil etc .. a major issue that could have been a major wreck was While driving down a highway around 11 pm .. my car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoe and it started making a loud click sound saying system is shutting down ,my steering wheel locked up and all power to vehicle completely shut down .period . No power to anything at all what so ever . The battery was fairly new . Well We had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day … he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldn’t see anythjng and told me I should sale it right away He warned me of a lot of issues he keeps seeing with Tahoe . Well now my driver door will not open at all I have to crawl through the passenger side door to get in and out of my car . With all these serious issues still going on I m very scared to be in my car , not getting my alerts and being trapped inside . Please someone point me in the right direction I have 5 kids this is not safe !

The dash cracked on passenger side 80 k.this vehicle is very well-maintained it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. Takata airbag recall what a joke. So you recall the vehicle but you don't have the parts to fix it. The vehicle has a defect in the fuel system, I started noticing it when I would fill up with fuel. It has to build the pressure up before it'll start. Many mechanics told me this is a defect. Kat friday night I ran an errand. Pulled in the driveway exited the vehicle hit the key fob to lock the vehicle. I go out the next morning and I can smell burnt wires. The window/power locks/mirrors module on drivers side door caught on fire. Luckily it shorted out the module, but it burnt up and melted one of the connectors. This just happened so I have not had time to figure the cause. Burns 2 quarts of oil between oil changes. General motors threw me under the bus in 1988 on a brand new pick up truck with the dexcool antifreeze that ate every gasket out of the engine and they refused to replace it I replaced it at my cost with no help from general motors. Enough is enough these people need to take care of all these problems they got top dollar for these vehicles. All of these occurred when the vehicle was sitting still. The door handle on passenger side door have cut several people. It's like a razor. A brand new vehicle has had a piece of tape wrapped around the door handle how embarrassing.

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.

I have been dealing with the same problem as the previous complaint...ironically, my vehicle was manufactured in tx too, but, I purchased it used in va in 2011 odometer-73,625. To date, I only have 101,225- I started having constant stabilitrack/traction control issues right after 100,000- caused steering wheel to lock up and loss of power in addition to door locks suddenly locking/unlocking, car alarm going off, and hazard blinkers not working (all while in the middle of rush hour traffic)! After this constant issue was "repaired"-for 6th time, a few months later, I experienced a different problem. After waiting at a stop light, the vehicle would not accelerate-I had to push gas all the way to the floor, barely reaching 20mph, then, the car started shaking & to make matters worse, the brakes were barely working. Thankfully, I was near a parking lot & was able to pull over. This time I think it is a bcm or pcs issue. It seems the "flex-fuel" 4wd 2007 tahoes are having major issues. This should be constitute under lemon law. I am too scared to drive now-the car has been sitting in my driveway for a long time, yet I have to pay insurance & registration. I'm sick of wasting money as well. Please help us (2007 tahoe owners), fix these issues! Thank you.

Takata recall ad more. 2007 chevy tahoe lt3. First denied claim on cracked dashboard as warranty was up. Then chevy recalls chrome interior door handles, but my tahoe is no in the recall. My kids have cut their hands on the peeling handles I took it to gm the said too bad your mileage is to great we wont honor recall furthermore your vehicles is not listed in recall. How is it not listed when all chrome interior handled vehicles where recalled? They told me to take a hike. Now I have had a air bag recall for over a year, and a very cracked dash which gm will not fix. If the "recalled" air bags did as they have done and the state of my dash there will be significant injury to occupants. Gm does not care, they have addressed the situation numerous times and nothing they are doing is correcting the issue.

2 complaints 1 is dealership refused to honor a recall we never recived on chrome interior door handles. Secondly the front dash started cracking shortly after warranty expired now it is cracked in several places especially around the passenger side air bag. Impo that if the air bag on the passenger side did go off. Shrapnel from the plastic dash would be dangerous gm has had several complaints and no one has addressed this

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.

2007 tahoe with 100k miles. Dashboard has been cracked since before 100k and chrome peeling from door handles causing occasional cuts to hands when opening doors. Dealer has refused to do anything and both are expensive repairs. Don't plan to buy another gm product - they don't stand behind their products.

My car's dash has been cracked since 2010 when it was only 3 years old. The cracks are all over, but specifically on the passenger side air bag and above the steering wheel. I do not know what caused the cracks. I also have peeling door handles that have cut my fingers as well as my children's fingers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle was having electrical issues. The rear brake lights, power windows, and power door locks stopped working. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired where it was diagnosed that the bcm module needed to be updated along with the driver side door master switch. The failure mileage was unknown.

My exterior door handles are breaking off. I have had all four replaced and now have two that have broken again. They are made of cheap plastic and held on the door with plastic that just breaks loose when pulled on. Also the plastic coating on the interior door handles is peeling off causing sharp edges. I am so disappointed in this gm product. This is the most expensive vehicle that I have ever purchased and by far the poorest quality. My dash is also cracked in multpile places starting with the left corner of the passenger air bag and now above the instrument panel.
