| 1. door locks failed. have been replaced multiple times. as a result, my 7 week old baby got locked in the car in 100 degree weather in august. it continues to be an issue and often i have to resort in climbing through the back tailgate. 2. stabilitrack and traction control lights flash. sometimes after these lights flash, my vehicle will go into reduced power mode on its on which is very dangerous going 65 mph or pulling out from somewhere. 3.my wipers work when they want to...ever since the two recalls chevrolet released, the work intermittently when they want to. 4. major electrical issues with these vehicles....i have replaced the battery four times and something continues to drain it. | |||

| While the vehicle is in motion, the door locks begin to cycle (up and down), the clock resets itself to twelve, static runs through the radio, the console lights (lighting, engine ck, stabilty control) flicker on and off and the transmission downshifts at will. the effect on the transmission is of particular concern because at highway speeds the vehicle abruptly slows down causing a potential hazard for the driver, its occupants, and others. once the vehicle ignition is turned off, all power inside, dome lights, radio, etc turn off and the vehicle will not restart until the battery cable is moved back and forth and a connection is reestablished. this is the second time i have taken the vehicle to the dealer and they have been unable to replicate the malfunction. | |||

| I was on the freeway in pretty heavy traffic. the traffic started to disperse and as i accelerated, the notification chime came on and the dash message said stabilitrack off, traction control off, engine power is reduced. i could not drive any faster than about 20mph and it was jerking a bit. i pulled over and pushed the onstar button. they sent a tow truck and after sitting on the road for about an hour, when i started the truck again, the message was gone. i had it towed to the dealer anyway, and was told that it is a sensor problem, which is not covered under the powertrain warranty. i have a friend that has a 2007 tahoe and she had the same problem. also, according to a few message boards, many other people have had this problem also. | |||
