My wife was accelerating from our street onto a major highway when the engine nearly shut down. Her speed was reduced to just 5 mph and the dashboard flashed engine power reduced, service stabilitrak, and service traction control. Unfortunately, she knew exactly what this was since this is the third time this has happened in this car in the last 18! we took it to our dealer and they tested the vehicle and diagnosed that the accelerator pedal sensor had failed again! we are extremely uneasy with the car now since each time this has occurred, it has been while one of us was accelerating onto a highway or interstate. On the previous occasion, she had to quickly move away from oncoming traffic...with our children in the car. The dealer indicated that they see this problem very often, but not this much in one car. This is obviously a defective part and should be checked into immediately.
After driving approx 3 miles, my "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", ABS light, check engine light all came on, simultaneously. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlined, my power locks, "locked and unlocked". when the transmission shifted, the whole Tahoe jerked. When I arrived at my destination approx 3 miles further and turned the engine off, attempted to re start and it wont start. This is the fourth time this has happened in two weeks. I have taken to a Chevy dealer twice to diagnose. Both times they said they cannot find the cause, and all they can do is reset the error codes.
I was stopped at a red light and as I took off the stabilitrack said it need to be serviced and the engine power was reduced. Took to shop and they reset the computer and everything seemed fine. Now 4 days later I was in the car wash parked with the car running while I was vacuuming and lost all power and stabilitrack did the same thing. After waiting 10 minutes or so I was able to start the vehicle and drive it to the shop again. They said it is a common problem and it doesn't have a true "fix" at this point.
While driving 72 mph on highway stabilitrak light, traction control light and flashing engine light came on and engine bogged down with no power. After almost getting hit by 2 semis I got the truck off the road.. I have read up on this issue and Chevy needs a recall on this.. someone is gonna get killed.

The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 Chevy Tahoe lt. It literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. It is a miracle that the entire car did not go up in flames. I've done a little research online and apparently this is not an isolated incident. The 2006-2007 Chevy trialblazers and Toyota rav4's have had the same issues. I believe there needs to be a recall of some sort in order to make sure this does not happen to anyone else and potentially catch the entire vehicle on fire.
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Consumer states after driving on the highway for 15 minutes or so the tire low pressure indicator light on the instrument panel came on the consumer stated before he took the vehicle to the dealer, the air was checked several times, with no indication of a problem. The consumer then took the vehicle to the dealer, where they replaced the sensor in the right rear tire. However, the problem continued. The consumer went to another dealer, where they ran a test and found no problem. After filing a complaint, the consumer went back to the second dealer where they found a lock problem. They replaced and reprogrammed the rcdlr. The consumer stated the problem is ongoing. Also, the doors locked on their own on a number of occasions.

I had driven the vehicle for 50 minutes. Parked turned the ignition off for 30 minutes. Next neighbor knocked on the door and said "your Tahoe is on fire". we called the fire department because we could not put the flames out. Fire department took only five minutes to get there. Once the fire was out we noticed that the Tahoe was totaled. From the naked eye it looks like the electrical fire started on the driver side under the windshield wiper. There's huge hole in the dashboard behind the left windshield wiper. I only had the car for 65 days. Big disappointment because I really like the 2007 Tahoe.
Peeling interior paint - two of the four doorhandles paint is peeling causing sharp and jagged edges resulting in cut fingers. Brakes - all brakes and rotors bad at 39,000 miles and had to be replaced. Way too early! now the brakes squeal all the time, are soft and had to be flushed 2 times within 6 months of each other. Windows - continuing issues with the windows screeching when going up and down. Attempted to fix three times and just keeps repeating. Is starting to scuff/scratch the glass and leave oil streaks. Was told this is normal. Rear liftgate (manual) - struts freeze every winter so that the tailgate does not go up all the way. Have hit head on this numerous times. Been replaced 3 times and counting.
I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Since I bought the car these are some of the issues I have had with the car- all within the first year - some issues are ongoing. Three of the four door handles are frayed and cause cuts. The center console was literally coming apart at the seams. I can hear the sound of wind very loudly with the windows up. Shortly after I bought the car - I returned to the service dept. At the dealer (moreno valley Chevrolet) advising them that the door locks are not properly operating with the key fob and that the sound of wind was/is very loud and the tires are making noise. Well, they replaced, reset, and whatever else to the door locks - and the electronic fob still did not (and does not) work. Even after three (or four) attempts to resolve this - I have to use the key, the fob does not work. The dvd player plays at will. At one of those visits - where I advised of excessive noise, the dealer replaced three of my tires and my dvd player - without my request. The service tech says - "oh, they hooked you up." I asked and asked "why" they replaced these things and no one, including the service manager, had an answer. And still - the tires wear unevenly, are loud, and the ride is not smooth and the dvd player plays when it wants to. I took my car to jiffy lube for an oil change and the guy there said, "one day, your tires are going to fall off, this (what the name was-I can't recall) is broken...it's just a matter of time before it falls apart." I took it to the dealer (moreno valley Chevy) and they said "cannot duplicate." Never, ever another Chevy.
This morning after a heavy rain last night, while taking the kids to school, I heard a water sloshing sound coming from the rear passenger side door. Got home and investigated the door- it was literally filled inside with water. Upon further investigation, I found that all doors had water in them! scary! I had to leave all 4 doors open for approx 20 min for water to stop draining out! my safety concern here is if these doors are filled (and I'm not exaggerating when I say filled) with water, there must be a risk of electrical shock from the different electrical components inside the doors for windows and/or the power locks.
While driving with cruise control enabled traveling at 70 mph with RPM at 2000 RPM, the 2007 Tahoe surged, jerked if you will, as if the cruise control was telling the vehicle it was going too slow. Hitting the brakes did not disengaged cruise control. Engine raced to 4000 RPM and locked at 4000 RPM! successfully shifted vehicle to neutral and was able to maneuver vehicle off the road and I can only hope the next person this happens to will be as lucky. Had to turn vehicle off to reduce engine RPM from the 4000 RPM it was locked on. Called on star and informed them of what happened and they ran a test which indicated no problem. Vehicle would not restart on first four attempts. Disabled cruise control button on steering wheel, which was glowing yellow, and the engine started. GM customer service contacted, file 71-965035291 and GM refused to replace cruise control as the local dealer in san angelo tx indicated they could not duplicate the concern. If should be noted it was 104 degrees and the engine had been running for over an hour and 100 miles with the vehicle loaded with 5 people and luggage. The local dealer did not duplicate the exact conditions and instead did a test drive of 60 miles without the load or high temperature. Talked to sarah at 866 790 8601 ext 12869 and she passed me on to victoria, david, and then back to victoria. I am an equipment engineer and victoria did not appear to have any technical knowledge. GM did not take my offer to remove my cruise control so they could bench test the unit and add heat to drive the faulty component to fail. GM, specifically victoria, wants to wait until someone else has the same problem. I know this lack of action by Chevy/GM seems hard to believe but the description I have provided is accurate.
I own a 2007 Chevy Tahoe I've been having problems with the stabilitrak control traction control and the fuel sender for about a couple of wks warranty that I purchased for my car don't want to cover for this!!!!!!!!!! lights keep turning on loud noise from engine car not running well at all!!!!!
I own a 2007 Chevy Tahoe and I am experiencing problems with the cruise control. I will set it when traveling on the freeway and it will disengage on its own. At first I thought it was something I was doing but it continues to happen and now I realize after seeking information on the web that many Tahoe and Yukon owners ar having the same problem. I have also experienced some surging and speed fluctuation when it is engaged as have other people who'as comments I have seen on vehicle information web pages. I believe this could be a safety issue and possibly cause accidents. GM told me they were not aware any issues but I know now that this not true. I have seen service bulletins that indicate there are electrical problems with other electrical parts that may effect the cruise control. What options do I have?
I have a 2007 Tahoe and the dashboard is cracked in two places. One is above the stearing wheel and the other is above the glove box on the passenger side. Ive always used a windshield protector when parked outside and the truck is parked in my garage every night. This seems to be a serious problem with this make and model vehicle and Chevrolet needs to correct it!
