Bad engine cuts off while driving. Burn excessive oil and water. Motor makes loud noises. Brakes have to be changed every 2 months.

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.

Under numerous circumstances, the "service stablilitrak and service traction control " appears in the dash message center along with audible beeps. Shortly after this happens the vehicle engine goes into limp mode with limited power and speed. I have been on interstates with heavy traffic and this becomes challenging to remedy asap and get out of the way. The original part suggested was the throttle body, this was…

The problem is stated in technical service bulletin pip4568s & #10-06-01-008m that gm sent out regarding afn lifters failing due to oil starvation.

Takata recall airbag light is on. My 07 chevy tahoe burns 1 quart of oil every 1000-1500 miles? Dealer told me this is "normal"??????

My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in november 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First i was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be…

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…
