The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 chevy tahoe lt. it literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. it is a miracle that the entire car did not go up in flames. i've done a little research online and apparently this is not an isolated incident. the 2006-2007 chevy trialblazers and toyota rav4's have had the same issues. i believe there needs to be a recall of some sort in order to make sure this does not happen to anyone else and potentially catch the entire vehicle on fire. *tr

I purchased a new 2007 chevy tahoe in july of 2007. september 2007 i had to take the suv in to have the rear window defogger cable reattached to the rear window, it fell off. after discussing with service manager, i was told that it was a design defect, the wire was not long enough and the tension from opening the rear glass causes the cable to break free. they had a window company re-attach it, one week later, i was back in and a new rear window was ordered. in november 2008 i had the cable break free on the replaced rear window, i had it repair, than the other side detached. i called the dealer and they advise that it could not be fixed based on the instructions from the released service corporation bulletin (#03-08-48-006e). i feel since this bulletin was released, this is a confession of a design defect and the customer should not be liable. they ordered a new window and it was charged to my extended warranty company, i had to pay 100.00. i feel this is an engineering design issue and gm needs to address this issue in a recall. *tr

We have had trouble with our front wipers turning on and squirting wiper fluid in the off (yes the off) position while we are driving. the car must be turned off and restarted to stop the wipers and squirting fluid. this has happened about 15 times since we bought our new suv. it never does it when we bring it into the dealership so they can't find a problem. the last time it happened, there was very dense white smoke before the wipers started moving and shooting fluid (once again...it was totally in the off position!!!). now the intermittent wiper mode does not work at all. these occurrences are very, very distracting when trying to drive! we just received a recall notice for our 2007 tahoe but i have concerns about possible fire risk because i know we definitely have an issue related to the recall. can we get the recall fixed before november 1, 2008 and still have it covered under the recall? the last episode was this month. *tr

Windshield wiper and solution comes on automatically even when the control is turned off. this occurs while driving making it hard to see the road with eccess solution is spraying continuously and uncontrollable. *tr

We took our vehicle to the dealer for a 3rd time now (look for my other complaint on this website on electrical problems/windshield problems) for the same problem plus a number of multiple other problems. the problem that the dealer can't seem to remedy is the windshield wipers and wiper spray keep coming on all by themselves and cannot be turned off unless you turn the vehicle off and then restart it. they've replaced the windshield wiper module but they still come on randomly. the heated seats sometimes don't work and in order to get them to work you must restart the car. the front passenger window will randomly not roll up or down from the drivers side master switch and will only start working after restarting the vehicle. when i took my car to get serviced (oil change) the mechanic noticed several leaks under the vehicle, one coming from the engine bell housing another from the rack and pinion area and the third from the power steering pump housing area. when we took it to the dealer they cleaned the engine pan (i have before pictures) and added an engine dye and they stated they found no leaks, we'll check it again after a few hundred miles. they also cleaned up the other leaks from the other areas and claimed no leaks. our mechanic also noticed while rotating the tires that the front right rotors were deeply grooved which answers my question as to why my brakes have been squeaking. he says that with only 10,000 miles it is not normal for them to be grooved, and is definitely a defect with the calipers probably sticking. showed the dealer and the service writer stated it was normal, that cannot be normal. so now they resurfaced the rotor and the brakes are still squeaking. after bringing my vehicle home from the dealer for repairs the car locked "itself" i did not lock it, the car keys were not even in my hands anymore they were hanging on the key rack. there are definitely some major electrical problems and mechanical problems with this vehicle. *jb

Our first incident occurred 2 weeks after we purchased our 2007 tahoe ltz on march 17,2006 the heated seats didn't work unless we restarted the vehicle this happened twice and never again so we thought it was a fluke. second malfunction/incident was. i started the vehicle and the windshield wipers came on by themselves and i could not shut them off until i restarted the vehicle. the third incident was the same as the second...this time i was driving on the fwy and the wipers and wiper fluid came on again, i could not shut them off until i exited the fwy and restarted the vehicle. we took it to the dealer aug 23, 2006 and explained all the malfunctions that had occurred thus far they could not find nor duplicate the heated seat problem but they did find that the windshield wiper module needed to be replaced, so they ordered it. forward to today sept 8, 2006 i was again driving on the fwy when my xm radio went out completely i thought it was just a problem with the satellite so as soon as i exited the fwy i restarted the vehicle but this time all of the instrument panel, radio and onstar services were completely dead! no service at all! i called the dealer and they want me to take it in so that they can check it out yet again, and install the wiper module we were waiting on. this is just ridiculous, being that we did not pay chump change for this tahoe for that kind of money it should be a very reliable vehicle! i am not going to be having to take a $50,000 vehicle to the shop every other month for malfunctions...what a complete inconvenience this is!! and from what i see this is definitely not the first incident of this kind. i see people are having similar computer malfunctions as well! *jb

Dt*: the contact stated a letter was received from the manufacturer that instructed the side view mirrors should be folded in at speeds over 30 mph and not used. the manufacturer was contacted and stated the repair was delayed, because a remedy was not currently available.

Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall hvac, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving. *nm
