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. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

Power train, Structure, Electronic stability control (ESC), Sep 14, 2011
I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. MY CAR MOVED FORWARD JUST SLIGHTLY, JERKED HARD TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYMORE. I WAS ABLE TO GET PUSHED TO THE SIDE IN NEUTRAL, BUT NEEDED A TOW TO THE DEALER. THE ONLY WORKING GEARS WERE R, 3, 2, AND 1. BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL IN THE SAME TYPE OF SCENARIO WHERE THEY WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP. SECOND ISSUE, NOT NEARLY AS MAJOR IS THE STABILITRAK. THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY, PRETTY MUCH FROM THE FIRST YEAR I'VE HAD THE CAR. AND LASTLY, THE INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL PEELED OFF AND CUT ME AND MY PASSENGERS SEVERAL TIMES. THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE COME LOOSE, THE FUEL POCKET IS COMPLETELY BROKEN, AND AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, WATER GETS TRAPPED INSIDE THE SHELL OF THE BACK DOOR AND SLOSHES AROUND WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE BOTTOM LINING OF THE DOOR FOR THE TRAPPED WATER TO BE RELEASED. *KB

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

THIS MORNING AFTER A HEAVY RAIN LAST NIGHT, WHILE TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, I HEARD A WATER SLOSHING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. GOT HOME AND INVESTIGATED THE DOOR- IT WAS LITERALLY FILLED INSIDE WITH WATER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT ALL DOORS HAD WATER IN THEM! SCARY! I HAD TO LEAVE ALL 4 DOORS OPEN FOR APPROX 20 MIN FOR WATER TO STOP DRAINING OUT! MY SAFETY CONCERN HERE IS IF THESE DOORS ARE FILLED (AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY FILLED) WITH WATER, THERE MUST BE A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM THE DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INSIDE THE DOORS FOR WINDOWS AND/OR THE POWER LOCKS. *TR

MY CHILD ATTEMPTED TO OPEN REAR DOOR ON MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. ONE SIDE OF THE HANDLE BROKE, THUS PULLING ONE SIDE AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND PINCHING HER HAND SOMEHOW! THIS IS THE 2ND HANDLE TO BREAK ON THIS VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY WENT TO OPEN MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND IT BROKE RIGHT OFF! WHAT IF WE WERE IN A CRASH AND NEEDED TO BE PULLED OUT AND THE DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF?!? VERY DANGEROUS! UPON INVESTIGATING THIS DEFECT I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON INCIDENT! SEE FOLLOWING LINK HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/TRFOG7J2EOKH998G2 I HOPE WE CAN SEE A RECALL OUT OF THIS! *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE 8-16-11. I CUT MY LEFT MIDDLE FINGER ON THE CHROME DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR HANDLE 8-17-11. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE DISCOVERED ALL THE HANDLES ON THE VEHICLE ARE PEELING AND VERY SHARP. WE HAVE A SMALL CHILD & I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT HE WILL ALSO START CUTTING HIS HANDS WHEN OPENING/CLOSING THE DOORS. I FEEL AS THOUGH WE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE HANDLES TO BE SLICING OUR FINGERS OPEN. *KB

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WITH RPM AT 2000 RPM, THE 2007 TAHOE SURGED, JERKED IF YOU WILL, AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TELLING THE VEHICLE IT WAS GOING TOO SLOW. HITTING THE BRAKES DID NOT DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL. ENGINE RACED TO 4000 RPM AND LOCKED AT 4000 RPM! SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTED VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THE NEXT PERSON THIS HAPPENS TO WILL BE AS LUCKY. HAD TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO REDUCE ENGINE RPM FROM THE 4000 RPM IT WAS LOCKED ON. CALLED ON STAR AND INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY RAN A TEST WHICH INDICATED NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART ON FIRST FOUR ATTEMPTS. DISABLED CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL, WHICH WAS GLOWING YELLOW, AND THE ENGINE STARTED. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTED, FILE 71-965035291 AND GM REFUSED TO REPLACE CRUISE CONTROL AS THE LOCAL DEALER IN SAN ANGELO TX INDICATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. IF SHOULD BE NOTED IT WAS 104 DEGREES AND THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER AN HOUR AND 100 MILES WITH THE VEHICLE LOADED WITH 5 PEOPLE AND LUGGAGE. THE LOCAL DEALER DID NOT DUPLICATE THE EXACT CONDITIONS AND INSTEAD DID A TEST DRIVE OF 60 MILES WITHOUT THE LOAD OR HIGH TEMPERATURE. TALKED TO SARAH AT 866 790 8601 EXT 12869 AND SHE PASSED ME ON TO VICTORIA, DAVID, AND THEN BACK TO VICTORIA. I AM AN EQUIPMENT ENGINEER AND VICTORIA DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE. GM DID NOT TAKE MY OFFER TO REMOVE MY CRUISE CONTROL SO THEY COULD BENCH TEST THE UNIT AND ADD HEAT TO DRIVE THE FAULTY COMPONENT TO FAIL. GM, SPECIFICALLY VICTORIA, WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW THIS LACK OF ACTION BY CHEVY/GM SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THE DESCRIPTION I HAVE PROVIDED IS ACCURATE.

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
