My 2007 tahoe has had a transmission/slip/bumping problem and it was first noticed by me about a month after I got it back in april. It has gotten worse the more that I drive it. It has 5900 miles on it and has been to the shop once for the problem. It was not taken care of and now it has been brought to my attention that this is actually a common problem and that it has been made aware of years ago in the older versions. I'm not at all happy about this.

Have an 07 chevrolet tahoe. Transmission failed while driving vehicle at 23,000 miles. Must be a common problem. Friend had same problem this summer at 24,000 miles. Many complaints on internet.
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.
Transmission failure at 25k miles. Driving at low speed and turning a corner when I experienced a sharp shutter of the entire vehicle as though I had run over something that did not allow my wheels to turn. Transmission could be shifted from park to drive but there were no forward or reverse gears.
1 month after purchase of my 2007 chevy tahoe the service engine light came on. I alerted onstar as I was stranded on the road. Onstar indicated through a probe check that my transmission had malfunctioned but the problem would correct itself and the light would go off and I could keep driving the truck. The light went off and I kept driving. Some time later onstar was alerted for the same problems, I was told the same as before by onstar. About 1 year after I bought this tahoe I was stranded again around 10:30p.m. Along side an unsafe highway with my 3 children. Onstar was called and again stated a transmission error that would correct itself and after driving the light should go off. I drove this tahoe home having to pull off the road several times to allow my transmission temperature to cool to prevent further damage. The next morning the light had gone off and I was on my way to take the tahoe to the dealership where it was purchased. 5 miles or so from my home the light comes back on and I alert onstar and was told that I needed to drive the truck to my nearest chevrolet dealership. As I pulled back on the road the transmission stops working immediately as I am sitting in on-comming traffic. I quickly put the truck in reverse as drive will not work any longer to get myself out of harms way. Chevrolet was called and transported my truck to their dealership as this was where it was purchased. My truck stayed in the shop three days as they had to rebuild the transmission. I had to pay for a rental with my own money. After picking my truck up from being repaired I was once again stranded along I-95 with my children 2 hours later. As of today my truck is still waiting to be hauled into chevrolet.
Transmission slips. Moving from park or reverse to drive - especially in the morning. Transmission slips when hard accelerating. Taken to dealer twice and they are unable to locate a problem. No computer codes. Respond that everything is fine. *jb updated 10/10/07

I have a brand new 2007 chevy tahoe, the car was driving normal, I was heading to the on ramp of the freeway, but to get into the freeway I had to make a right and then the on ramp is in front of me. Of course you also had cars coming from the right of me. When I saw a gap where I could go, I floored the gas, to go into the freeway, when I heard a loud noise, and all of the sudden the car slowed down. I had to think quick being that the car was an automatic, I shifted to a lower gear, the car started moving but it was making a grinding noise. I finally got out of the way. And I called onstar, my transmission had given. On a 6 month old 2007 tahoe. They took it to the dealer, at the dealership they replaced a gear inside the transmission, to no avail. Finally they ended up replacing the whole transmission, because they couldn't figure what was wrong the car. No warning lights or nothing. The guy at the dealership told me, that this was so weird that the techs in michigan wanted the whole transmission shipped to them. They had the SUV for a total of 21 days.
Under normal, non-towing driving, the 2007 tahoe (with 27,000 miles) would not go forward when placed into drive. As a result, my family is presently unable to use the vehicle and it was towed to a dealership for repairs. This occurred after the transmission was completely replaced at about 12,000 miles for the same problem.
Transmission drive gears went out would move only in reverse.
