I was traveling on a state highway to an event. This was the second day of the event, so I had traveled the same road the day prior. I slowed to cross railroad tracks. While crossing the tracks, the front and middle side airbags deployed on both the driver's and passenger's sides. The force of the deployment also cracked areas around the interior walls and blew out the rear overhead light. I am not sure exactly what, but something struck me on the top of my head at the time of the deployment. Fortunately, I had slowed to cross the tracks or there could have been a different outcome. *tr

Multiple dashboard cracks around passenger airbag and now on drivers side. I am the original owner and the tahoe has always been in the garage when parked at home.

Top of dashboard on driver's side of car cracked. It was not subjected to any unusal physical stress. Car was not moving. Was parked outside and temperature was above freezing.

Peeling chrome coating on inside door handles has sharp edges that have cut hand hydraulics on back cargo door already out and I hardly ever use back door. *tr

I have a 2007 tahoe and the dashboard is cracked in two places. One is above the stearing wheel and the other is above the glove box on the passenger side. Ive always used a windshield protector when parked outside and the truck is parked in my garage every night. This seems to be a serious problem with this make and model vehicle and Chevrolet needs to correct it!

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 bac

Heavy oil consumption. The car says oil is low about every two weeks or less. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the stability control warning light illuminated, the steering seized and the vehicle stalled simultaneously. The failure was experienced several times. The contact was able to coast onto the shoulder and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 105,753.

Was driving and when exiting freeway. Truck started shaking really bad and traction /stability control light came on. Engien light has been coming on and off for about a year. All they do is reset system and comes right back on a few days later. It been well taken care of. Bought it in 06 and paid it off in 08. This truck has been giving me many problem since 09. I even have a crake on dash board all the way to air bag since 08. Dealer said no recalls and is due to sun! Bull.... I have been reading on-line and many people have simalier problems. *tr

This is the second incident. Was driving at 45 MPH and made a turn. The tahoe loss power and stalled. The computer read reduced engine power and stability trak off. This is bothersome being that this can happen anywhere at anytime. Afraid of possible accident or worse. *tr

Vehicle will accelerate and max out at fuel cut-off. Acceleration is unresponsive to brake application to include 100% application, resulting in smoke and odor. Vehicle cannot be stopped other than placing the vehicle into neutral and turning the ignition off. Upon restarting the vehicle, RPM will immediately climb to in excess of 5000 RPM. Acceleration problems normally occur at higher speeds but have occurred also on city streets. The problem then resets itself at its discretion. Cheverolet has been "working" on finding the problem since september, total in excess of 90 days. I was provided with a vehicle data recorder (vdr) to image the issue. Vdr has a cable plugged into vehicle computer the dangles between the gas/brake pedal and driver posing an additional hazard. Vehicle is an ex

The dash is starting to crack. There is one crack by the passenger side air back and another just above the gauge cluster. I'm unsure if the vehicle was stationary or in motion when the dash cracked.
