| We have had several problems with this vehicle. we've had tires replaced twice, rotors, and brakes resurfaced, and rear-end dropped so the springs could be adjusted. but the biggest problem has been with the roaring in the motor. the dealership has had the vehicle for more than 20 days on and off looking for this noise. i've had it to them 8 times or so trying to find it. the noise didn't start until around 3,000 miles, and gets worse and easier to duplicate with more miles. the first 7 visits they said they didn't know what it was and was clueless to it, but the last visit, and 4 days of it, they and gm decided it was a characteristic of the vehicle, and nothing could be done. on the otherhand, one mechanic says it's coming from the drivetrain, but others say it's an improper balance in the motor. either way i'm paying too much money for whatever it is! *tr | |||

| After only one month of purchase auto start feature does not work unless you were 3 feet away. the vehicle once sat over night would make a really loud clattering sound when you would turn on the engine. i took the car into the dealer and told them about the problems the dealer indicated that they had to reprogram the software in the tahoe to reprogram auto start. the next morning i was called and informed that they were unable to reproduce the clattering sound and that nothing wrong was detected with the vehicle so that it was ready for pick up. everything was o.k. for about a couple of months. auto start wasn't working again. at my third service visit to the dealer i noticed the tires were starting to get wasted towards the inside. the vehicle only had about 5,000 miles on it at the time. when the dealer was informed he indicated that the tires needed to be rotated. after about three tire rotations i noticed the tires getting warn out pretty badly on the inside. he indicated that the problem could be that it needs a front end allingnment only after the vehicle having less than 12,000 miles. the front end alignment was done on the vehicle.to this day that the tires are wasted more on the insides than the outsides.this last month we have had a problem again with the loud clattering sound in the engine when we start the vehicle.it has gotten alot worse i took it into the dealer and they said that they were aware of the problem and that it appears to be oil build up in the air compressor that when it sits for more thatn 3 hours it apparently makes this loud sound when you start the engine. he indicated that chevy is looking into the problem and to this day has not done anything about the problem.i was furious when they refused to do anything about a problem that chevy well knows is a manufacturer defect. *tr | |||

| I have a 2007 tahoe. i have 5,700 miles on it and my tires are feathered and ruined. took it back to the dealer, and they said to rotate to back and drive it another 5000 miles and see if the front tires do the same thing. i feel like there should have been more done, but they did nothing. i now would like to know my options. i fear for the safety of my family while driving in this vehicle. the dealership said this is the first reported case and they want us to be the guinea pigs and see what happens. *jb | |||

| My 2007 tahoe has had a transmission/slip/bumping problem and it was first noticed by me about a month after i got it back in april. it has gotten worse the more that i drive it. it has 5900 miles on it and has been to the shop once for the problem. it was not taken care of and now it has been brought to my attention that this is actually a common problem and that it has been made aware of years ago in the older versions. i'm not at all happy about this. *jb | |||
