2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Electrical System

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the power steering became soft, and the vehicle started to lose forward momentum. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the engine failed to respond, and the vehicle continued to lose forward momentum. The contact stated that the check engine and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over and turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle started to function normally. The contact stated the failure had been intermittent but had become a recurring failure while driving at various speeds. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the failure was with the electrical system; however, there was no fix for the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Battery continues to die there is something continuing to pull power believed to be an ecm issue other models like mine had a similar recall but my vehicle wasn't apart of it

UNKNOWN: The heater-AC blower wire harness female clip and has melted three times with replacement parts. While it was on I was feeling for it and I can feel a strong pulsing so it has a lot of power. The wire harness gauge is week and small. Cheap parts the manufacturer made on a budget. I have heard many complaints and and worries from others that feel it can catch on fire and would be a dangerous distraction driving the freeway while it starts to melt it is a strong obnoxious fume and smells like it an catch fire. Also if you loose your heater on the freeway in the cold your windows fog up.

IT DIES ON A NIGHTLY BASIS AND I SEE FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A IN GOING PROBLEM WHERE THE COMPUTER NEEDS UPDATED AND THE RADIO CONTINUESLY RUNS AND THATS NOT THE ONLY DRAIN

OUR CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100K MILES AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING TO THE SPEEDOMETER AS WELL AS RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC... WE EVEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO IS ALSO HAVING TROUBLES FIGURING IT OUT. PAID OVER $500 TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE BCM AND IGNITION SWITCH STILL HAVING ISSUES TO THE POINT IT WILL NOT START.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 7 WEEKS. I'VE SPENT $6,000 HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AS THERE WAS CYLINDER 7 MISFIRE. HOWEVER, AFTER ALL THIS I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR CODES AND THEY NOW BELIEVE ITS ELECTRICAL AND THE WHOLE CAR NEEDS TO BE RE-WIRED. WHEN IT BROKE DOWN ORIGINALLY, IT WAS IN NEUTRAL IN A CAR WASH...

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION. NOT SHOWING THE ODOMETER OR DRIVE TREE (PRND321) SPEED GAUGE IS STILL WORKING. SEEING MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH PEOPLE SODERING ON THE BOARDS OF CLUSTER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - THIS GAUGE CLUSTER HAS BEEN NOTORIOUS FOR BEING DEFECTIVE IN A GREAT MANY OF GM VEHICLES. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE CLUSTER IN MY 2005 TAHOE BECAUSE GM WOULDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THAT SHOULD NEVER BE THE CASE. WHEN THESE CLUSTERS FAIL THEY CAN LEAD TO MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF INJURIES DUE TO IMPROPER READINGS WHICH DRIVERS DEPEND ON TO MAKE CORRECT DRIVING DECISIONS. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE THAT ANY DEVICE PLACED INTO A VEHICLE WHICH GIVES DRIVERS INFORMATION FOR WHICH THEY DEPEND ON ACCURACY TO OPERATE THAT VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED FOR REPLACEMENT NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AS THIS IS IN ITS SIMPLEST TERMS A MATTER OF SAFETY. SEVERAL PHONE CALLS AND 1 TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THIS IS A "WEAR AND TEAR" STANCE THE COMPANY IS TAKING WITH THIS ISSUE. I FOUND OUT MY CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN I RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET WHEN MY GAUGE CLEARLY INDICATED A PROPER SPEED LIMIT ON CRUISE CONTROL. THE OFFICER STATED THAT I WAS GOING 17 MPH FASTER THAN WHAT WAS ALLOWED. THIS WAS MY FIRST TICKET SO I WAS LET OFF WITH A WARNING BUT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED IF THAT WAS TO BE MY REASONING. DEFECTIVE DEVICES SUCH AS THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AS THE NORM.

NO POWER ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR (WINDOW, MIRROR, AND LOCK)

TODAY MY POWER LIFT GATE DECIDED TO OPEN SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN WHEN I LOCKED THE CAR AND STEPPED ABOUT 2 FEET AWAY, IN JUST THAT MOMENT A PASSING CAR IN THE PARKING LOT WAS COMING BY AND HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO AVOID HITTING MY NOW RAISING POWER LIFT GATE. NEED LESS TO SAY HE WAS INCHES FROM HITTING THE CORNER OF THE GATE WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF HIS CAR.

EVERY THING ELECTRICAL GOES CRAZY EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE,CHECK ENGINE,SERVICE TRA, AIR CONDITIONING, SEATS,BRAND NEW BATTERY DRAINS AND MORE

MY TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WENT OUT AND NOW MY KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE DOES NOT WORK. THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER'S AND HER HUSBAND'S VEHICLE THAT HE DRIVES FOR WORK AND THEY ARE ALL 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES.

THE ODOMETER ON THESE VEHICLES LAST JUST LONG ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND THEN THEY GO OUT. MINE WENT OUT WITH APPROXIMATELY 110K MILES. WITH THIS PORTION OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NOT LIT YOU CAN NOT SEE YOUR ODOMETER MILES NOR WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. BY READING ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF CASES JUST LIKE MINE. GM NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT THAT GM HAS FAULTY EQUIPMENT IN THESE VEHICLES. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR
