| I have two problems to report first my gas pedal sticks to floor if i turn my floor mat upside down when my shoes are dirty gas pedal catches and sticks to floor under acceleration very scary and unsafe. second problem is my dash cracked above my passenger air bag and i am afraid if it deploys the broken dash will come off with air bag and hit passenger in face causing injury or worse. i have read online of many other same year and vehicle with the same problems and would apriciate you looking into these before someone is injured thank you. | |||

| 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. | |||

| Driving vehicle on the 7th day of ownership with cruise control on. on a slight down grade vehicle accelerated 20 mph over set cruise speed before i shut cruise off. the next morning, the vehicle continued accelerating after i took my foot off the gas at a light causing vehicle to crash into another vehicle. chevy dealer in henderson, nv handled very poorly. nearly two months after crash, gm called me and stated that their 3rd party independent evaluation (done by a retired gm employee) of the vehicle and its computers doesn't show any failure or malfunction to verify my claim. gm can say what they want. i know what happened and my wife and family witnessed the accident. gm had no interest in talking to them. for their protection, i'll take a loss and trade the vehicle as soon as i get it back. just wanted a public record of situation in case of any future similar incidents. ironically, i was impressed by vehicle and quality the week i had it. the report gm sent me appeared to confirm what i said happen, but they said not. *nm | |||
