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.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOOR LOCKS GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT SUPPOSEDLY. I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 05/23/2013 AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I LOST POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THE TOW TRUCK JUMPED ME AND IT STARTED JUST FINE SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. THEN I TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD TURN ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. TOW TRUCK CAME AGAIN TO JUMP ME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND KNEW EXACTLY THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. THEY REPLACED THE CABLES TO A COST TO ME OF $500!!! HE SAID THAT CHEVY KNOWS IT'S AN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT THEY WON'T DO A RECALL..ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!! THEY ARE LUCKY MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND THAT NOBODY WAS HURT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE FILED THE BIGGEST LAWSUIT THEY EVER SAW!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THESE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR- ALL WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR - SOME ISSUES ARE ONGOING. THREE OF THE FOUR DOOR HANDLES ARE FRAYED AND CAUSE CUTS. THE CENTER CONSOLE WAS LITERALLY COMING APART AT THE SEAMS. I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF WIND VERY LOUDLY WITH THE WINDOWS UP. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR - I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALER (MORENO VALLEY CHEVROLET) ADVISING THEM THAT THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT PROPERLY OPERATING WITH THE KEY FOB AND THAT THE SOUND OF WIND WAS/IS VERY LOUD AND THE TIRES ARE MAKING NOISE. WELL , THEY REPLACED, RESET, AND WHATEVER ELSE TO THE DOOR LOCKS - AND THE ELECTRONIC FOB STILL DID NOT (AND DOES NOT) WORK. EVEN AFTER THREE (OR FOUR) ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS - I HAVE TO USE THE KEY, THE FOB DOES NOT WORK. THE DVD PLAYER PLAYS AT WILL. AT ONE OF THOSE VISITS - WHERE I ADVISED OF EXCESSIVE NOISE, THE DEALER REPLACED THREE OF MY TIRES AND MY DVD PLAYER - WITHOUT MY REQUEST. THE SERVICE TECH SAYS - "OH, THEY HOOKED YOU UP." I ASKED AND ASKED "WHY" THEY REPLACED THESE THINGS AND NO ONE, INCLUDING THE SERVICE MANAGER, HAD AN ANSWER. AND STILL - THE TIRES WEAR UNEVENLY, ARE LOUD, AND THE RIDE IS NOT SMOOTH AND THE DVD PLAYER PLAYS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I TOOK MY CAR TO JIFFY LUBE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE GUY THERE SAID, "ONE DAY, YOUR TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF, THIS (WHAT THE NAME WAS-I CAN'T RECALL) IS BROKEN...IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT FALLS APART." I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (MORENO VALLEY CHEVY) AND THEY SAID "CANNOT DUPLICATE." NEVER, EVER ANOTHER CHEVY. *TR

OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE HAS HAD TO HAVE 2 DOOR HANDLES REPLACED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HANDLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE PIECE WHICH CONNECTS THE HANDLE TO THE DOOR SNAPS ALLOWING IT TO MOVE FREELY FROM THE DOORS. THESE INCIDENTS BOTH OCCURRED WHEN THE PERSON ENTERING THE VEHICLE TRIED TO PULL ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ONE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO MY WIFE OPENING THE DOOR AND THE OTHER OCCURRED WHEN A 14 YEAR OLD TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR. WE HAVE HAD IT REPLACED ONCE AND NOW HAVE TO DO THE SAME AGAIN. SINCE THIS IS A $400 EXPENDITURE WITH PARTS AND SERVICE EACH TIME. THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OURSELVES. *TR

I AM WRITING TO ADVISE A COMPLAINT REGARDING OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ DOOR HANDLES. IN APRIL 2011, THE OUTSIDE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE CAME PARTIALLY UNATTACHED FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE HANDLE CAME LOOSE ONLY ON ONE SIDE (THE FAR LEFT) LEAVING IT ATTACHED FROM ONLY THE FAR RIGHT. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER WITHIN THE LAST WEEK. THAT IS 2 HANDLES IN 2 MONTHS. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER PINCHED HER FINGER IN THE UNATTACHED SPACE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE CHARGING $172 PER HANDLE FOR THE REPAIRS. VEHICLE IS A 2007 WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. *KB
