    My 2007 chevrolet tahoe will sporadically display two m.i.l. 's - service traction control and service stabilitrak. I have spent close to $4,000 on different parts, as well as having the heads completely rebuilt about 5 months ago. The only trouble codes it shows when hooked to a scanner are a p0300 (generic misfire detected) p0301 (misfire cylinder 1) and 0443 (evap emission control system valve circuit). After…

    While driving my 2007 chev tahoe today, while in motion, the stabilitrak warning came up on my dash along with traction control warning. Then the engine started struggling. I googled these problems and it appears gm recalled models from 2014 and 2015 with the same issues. They need to recall all impacted models. If this causes the engine to lose power, it could cause a dangerous situation.

    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.…

    The vehicle has a faulty throttle body and throttle position sensor that cause the vehicle to go into "engine power reduced" mode which basically means the vehicle doesn't move. The engine is still running, but the vehicle is inoperable. This has happened to me dozens of times, in intersections, and i have to roll off the side of the road. Additionally, the intake gaskets leak allowing fluid into the engine. The…
