GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2009 BUICK, LUCERNE; CADILLAC DTS; HUMMER H2; MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 BUICK ENCLAVE; CADILLAC CTS; MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT; CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, TAHOE; GMC ACADIA, SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL; SATURN OUTLOOK; AND MODEL YEAR 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM (HWFS). 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.

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVY TAHOE AND I HAVE CUT MY FINGERS ON BOTH DOOR HANDLES. IT SEEMS THAT THEY USED CHEAP CHROME PLATED HANDLES AND IT IS PEALING. IT IS RAZOR SHARP. I AM JUST GLAD NEITHER MY WIFE OR KIDS GOT CUT. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS AND SEE IF THERE ARE OTHERS. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 36,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED! THANKS *TR

2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. LAST YEAR, I STARTED NOTICING ISSUES IN MAY. CAR EXHIBITED RANDOM STARTING FAILURES (NO STARTER TURNING - LIKE DEAD BATTERY) WHICH WILL RESOLVE AND BEGIN FUNCTIONING ON ITS OWN AFTER TIME PASSED. BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY DEALER WITH NO RESOLUTION. MAJOR FLUCTUATIONS AND ACTIVATION OF THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH ( ABS, SUSPENSION SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL, BACKUP ASSISTANCE, CRUISE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, ALL NEEDLE GAUGES FLUCTUATE RANDOMLY, TRIP COMPUTER INFORMATION DEACTIVATES RANDOMLY) NOTED DURING NORMAL DRIVING. DOOR LOCKS ALSO RANDOMLY LOCK WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS PERIODICALLY TURN AND WASHER FLUID IS EXPRESSED. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGHLY WHEN THESE ISSUES ARE BEING SEEN. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL CEASE COOLING THE AIR DURING THESE TIMES BUT CONTINUE TO RUN THE BLOWER FAN ( JUST UNCOOLED AIR). ALL THESE PROBLEMS WILL COME AND GO RANDOMLY. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS WERE REPORTED AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN SUMMER 2009. MULTIPLE CPU MODULES WERE REPLACED AND THE CAR SEEMED BETTER. NOW THE ISSUES ARE ARISING AGAIN AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THE 2007 TAHOE LTZ WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN YESTERDAY. GM PERSONNEL WERE VERY CONFRONTATIONAL WHEN DISCUSSION THE ISSUES OF A DESIGN/PRODUCTION/MANUFACTURING DEFECT, YET THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD PRACTICALLY RECITE VERBATIM THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING AS I STARTED TO DESCRIBE THE INITIAL PROBLEMS. HE ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS VERY COMMON , AND HE STATED THE BCM COULD BE OUT. THAT ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER MODULES WERE REPLACED ALREADY LAST YEAR. I HAVE HEARD AND READ NUMEROUS SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THIS YEAR TAHOE. SOMEONE WITHIN THE REGULATING AGENCIES NEEDS TO STEP IN AND FORCE A REVIEW. GM ALREADY CHARGED ME $3000+ LAST YEAR TO "FIX" THIS. NOW, THEY ARE ALREADY BALKING AT THE IDEA THAT THERE IS A GM MANUFACTURING OR QUALITY ISSUE CAUSING ALL THESE FREQUENT ISSUES. THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED.. SOON. *TR

THE CHROME "PAINT" ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS FLAKED OFF AND WHEN YOU OPEN OR SHUT THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, IT GIVES YOU A "PAPER CUT." IT HAS CUT MY FINGERS SEVERAL TIMES, YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF OPENING OR SHUTTING THE DOOR BEFORE YOU DO IT BECAUSE IT IS SECOND NATURE SO IT IS HARD TO DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT IT. *TR

I JUST READ THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON THE 2007 TAHOE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES, AND SO HAS MY WIFE. IT'S THE SEAM WHERE THE TWO PIECES OF 'FAKE' CHROME COME TOGETHER AT THE TOP OF THE DOOR HANDLE - THINK OF A RAZOR SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO OPEN YOUR DOOR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER (JOHN L. SULLIVAN, ROSEVILLE, CA) WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO - PRETTY TYPICAL OF A DEALERSHIP I FIND. SO I'VE JUST BEEN DEALING WITH IT; THAT AND NASTY CUTS ON MY FINGERS. I FINALLY TOOK A RAZOR AND SHAVED THE PIECES DOWN, BUT NOW THE WHITE PLASTIC OF THE HANDLE IS EXPOSED. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE. *TR
