Truck will not start at times, have been to the dealer multiple times and they cannot find a problem. This has happened in a previous chevy tahoe 2007 lt that i owned prior and the dealer could not find the problem. It 50% of the time will start up if i allow it to sit for moment, at other times i have to jump it. It currently has new battery, which did not help the problem. *tr

The fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank and suddenly the gauge went to empty and the driving distant went blank. After a short time the gauge read 3/4 tank, then went off again, then reset itself to 1/2 tank. This has happened quite frequently since then.

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…
