The power lift gate for my car is not working properly. It does one of several things, works correctly when it wants to. Doesn't open at all when prompted, opens half way then shuts on its own, opens all the way and shuts on its own, or opens at random times when after just locking and securing the car. Also when open and prompted to close with the button/s, it will either close, not close or close half way and re…

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. This is quite an expensive repair and i feel that 3 people that own the same make model and year that something must be faulty.

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…

At 90,000 miles, all of my rear bearings were bad and had to have them replaced, basically a whole new rear end. Luckily it was covered under the 100,000 mile power train warranty. I have only towed a trailer twice with my tahoe, so obviously a defect somewhere. Second issue is that there are 2 cracks on the dashboard; one in the area of the passenger side air bag, and the other on the backside of the drivers side…

I recently experienced a known electrical issue for the first time yesterday. I just had my tahoe at the dealer last week for strange clacking noise under the hood. They stated i would just have to wait until it did it again. Yesterday everything went haywire and my tahoe appeared possessed. Door locks, gearing shifting was affected making it difficult to drive and steer due to loss of power steering, which could…
