A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010.

Power train, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Jun 23, 2020
MY ISSUES STARTED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO WHEN DROPPING MY CHILD OFF AT DAYCARE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I PULLED IN THE DAYCARE AND IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AT THAT POINT THE STABLITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BECAUSE I TRIED TO MOVE IT AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT JERKED SO HARD I WAS SCARED THE ENGINE BLEW. I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED CHEVY MECHANIC, CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE. WE REPLACED THE PLUGS, COIL PACKS ETC, TRYING TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. HE FINALLY REPLACED ALL 16 LIFTERS, CAM, HEAD GASKETS AND OIL PUMP AS WELL. ONCE HE GOT IT TOGETHER, IT WAS STILL A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6. HE TOOK IT APART TO LOOK AT THE PISTONS, THEY WERE FINE. THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HE PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING BRAND NEW ON IT. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THE LIFTER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BLATANTLY TOLD ME, I NEED A NEW ENGINE OR COULD PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. STILL NO RESOLVE AS OF JUNE 23, 2020! PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AS SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO US THAT THEY DESIGNED THE ENGINE SO POORLY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT...IRONICALLY, MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN TX TOO, BUT, I PURCHASED IT USED IN VA IN 2011 ODOMETER-73,625. TO DATE, I ONLY HAVE 101,225- I STARTED HAVING CONSTANT STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES RIGHT AFTER 100,000- CAUSED STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND LOSS OF POWER IN ADDITION TO DOOR LOCKS SUDDENLY LOCKING/UNLOCKING, CAR ALARM GOING OFF, AND HAZARD BLINKERS NOT WORKING (ALL WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC)! AFTER THIS CONSTANT ISSUE WAS "REPAIRED"-FOR 6TH TIME, A FEW MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AFTER WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE-I HAD TO PUSH GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BARELY REACHING 20MPH, THEN, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING & TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE BRAKES WERE BARELY WORKING. THANKFULLY, I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT & WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS TIME I THINK IT IS A BCM OR PCS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE "FLEX-FUEL" 4WD 2007 TAHOES ARE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE CONSTITUTE UNDER LEMON LAW. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE NOW-THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME, YET I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE & REGISTRATION. I'M SICK OF WASTING MONEY AS WELL. PLEASE HELP US (2007 TAHOE OWNERS), FIX THESE ISSUES! THANK YOU. *TR

MY 07 TAHOE HAS BEEN HAVING STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL ON FOR MONTHS I'VE THROWN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTS AT MY TAHOE IT'LL WORK GREAT FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN THE CODES POP RIGHT BACK ON MY DASHBOARD CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND THE TRUCK TO LOSE ENGINE POWER AND JERK AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE I'VE HAD TO BE TOWED HOME , CHANGE SEVERAL PARTS AND CAN GET NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY IT KEEPS COMING UP. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECALL IT FOR THIS ISSUE I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING FOR THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TO KEEP COMING ON AND NOT KNOWING WHY PLEASE GM YALL ARE THE BEST AND NEED TO FIX IT!!!!!!! VERY TIRED OF THROWING MONEY AWAY!! *TR

Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Dec 28, 2019
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 SEVERAL MONTHS OF RESEARCH ONLINE, IT IS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THERE IS NO DIRECT SUREFIRE RESOLUTION. BUT RATHER A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT IS SOMETIMES VERY LABOR INTENSIVE AND EXTREMELY INVASIVE TO TRACK DOWN THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTROL SWITCH, ADDED A SECONDARY BACKUP BATTERY AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLES, REPLACE THE PLUGS, PLUG WIRES AND IGNITION COIL PACKS. IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE AND AT THIS POINT I HAVE AS MUCH MONEY INVESTED IN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AS I HAVE SPENT PURCHASING IT. I AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO SELL THIS TRUCK AND LET'S HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF DEALING WITH SUCH ISSUES BUT AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT AND DISCOVERING THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST CHEVROLET / GM SUVS AND TRUCKS, PARTICULARLY WITH THE 5.3 L ENGINE, I FEEL GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING IT OR LET ME TRADE IT IN TOWARDS A NEWER MODEL WITH A SUFFICIENT CREDIT APPLIED. THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM STOPPING OR ACCELERATING ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR. IF I AM SIMPLY CRUISING ALONG AT 25 MILES PER HOUR STEADILY AND NOT ACCELERATING OR BREAKING, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS PREVALENT. BUT AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, IT IS SPORADIC AND CONTINUES TO REOCCUR INCESSANTLY.

I CAN NOT PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE I HAVE TO PUMP GAS VERY SLOWLY & WHEN I GO ON ROAD TRIPS MY STABILITRAK & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON
Electronic stability control (ESC), Apr 12, 2019
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE STAB TRAC WARNING POPS UP ON THE MESSAGE WINDOW AND WE LOSE POWER. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE GARAGE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK. AS PER ONLINE RECORDS OF THIS VEHICLE IT APPEARS SHELBY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT EITHER. I'M TIRED OF JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT AND WANT TO FIX IT PERMANENTLY. EVERY TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN A WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AT AT LEAST ABOVE SPECIES OF 40 MILES AN HOUR AND TO BE HONEST IT'S MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THEN YOU CAN ONLY GO 10 TO 15 MPH.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Nov 26, 2018
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.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Nov 27, 2017
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 REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY FOR 12-16 MONTH. THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK AND THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT SUSPECT THIS TIME. THE DEALER BASCIALLY TROUBLE SHOOTS THE PROBLEM WITH PARTS.

I BEEN HAVING PROBLEM OUT OF EVERYTHING FOR A WHILE MY LIGHTS ON
Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 22, 2017
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. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SENT OUT THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT AND FIX IT. HOWEVER THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 5.3L ENGINES AND A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM! IN MY SITUATION IT CAUSED A SOAK PLUG AND THE SPARK PLUG HOUSING TO BLOW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE! WHICH COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE OR CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOMETHING IF IT HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH WITH HIGH TRAFFIC. AS STATED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM WON'T EVEN COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST TO FIX IT! IN MY CASE I ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN BARELY DRIVE AND SHOULDNT BE DRIVING! AT ANY MOMENT THE WHOLE ENGINE COULD BLOW UP BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I HAVE THE $4000 TO FIX IT! GM SHOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS OR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE COST OF REPAIRS! I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES EFFECTED BY PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M. YET GM WILL NOT HELP CONSUMERS IN ANY WAY AT ALL WITH THE EXPENSIVE COST OF THIS REPAIR! WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THERE COULD BE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES THAT OTHER OWNERS COULD HAVE HAD ALSO. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM ALSO EFFECTS OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE SUCH AS STABILITAK SYSTEM. WHEN THIS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING THE VEHICLE HITS BUMPS AND THROWS THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD MAKING STEERING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THIS AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.

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 DASH CRACKED. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE AIR RIDE SHOCKS (LTZ MODEL), THE CONNECTOR WILL WEAR A HOLE IN THE SHOCK. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS AND TIE ROD ENDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS CONSTANTLY RUNNING HOT AND WE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE LEAKS OIL AND OUR MECHANIC SAID THAT IT'S THE REAR MAIN SEAL THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

MY 2007 TAHOE ALL OF THE SUDDEN STARTED SHAKING AND BUCKING WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND TWO SMALL KIDS (ON VALENTINES! WIFE WAS NOT HAPPY). THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS WARNING MESSAGES SAYING THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED, CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM AND SERVICE STABILINK SYSTEM. IT LIMPED TO OUR HOUSE AND THEN IT STALLED AND EVENTUALLY WAS VERY HARD TO START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE #6 LIFTER COLLAPSED AND THEY NEEDED TO CHECK THE CAMSHAFT TO SEE IF THAT WAS DAMAGED. I'M STILL WAITING ON THE CALL TO SEE WHAT THE TOTAL DAMAGE IS BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. I ALSO SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME THING. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP AND RECALL THIS ISSUE. THE ESTIMATE I GOT WAS AROUND $3,500-$4,500 TO REPAIR THIS.
