The oil keeps disappearing in the car I fill it with 7 Quartz of oil and two months or less it’s all gone I heard there was a issue with this before but no recall my engine almost blew two weeks after a oil change I thought that’s wrong I have oil so I had it reset then three months later my engine was ticking so I took it in and there was no oil they put 7 more quartz of oil and no again it’s all gone I had more put back in and I think this should be a recall I called the dealer and they said they won’t do anything unless I pay for it to be fixed but it’s been a known issue for years and they don’t do nothing about it I am a young person that doesn’t have $3,000 to pay to fix this issue I believe Chevy should.

Service Stabiltrak error and service traction control error. Reduced engine power error causes the motor to completely shut down with no warning even while driving making it impossible to get out of traffic and to safely exit to the shoulder. No acceleration when pressing gas pedal.
WOW. I AM SEEING ALL MY SAME ISSUES SO THOUGHT I BETTER ENTER MY INFO AS WELL. FIRST THE HORN WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN BLARING WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 2.5 YEARS AGO AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE A HORN, AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL INCLUDING THE RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL (I QUESTION IF THE AIR BAG IS ACTIVE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE OF THIS). THEN, THE REAR LIFT GATE ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT OPEN (MAYBE LAST WINTER). 6 MONTHS AGO, THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH ARE OUT SO I CAN'T SEE MY ODOMETER OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN ACCESS ON THE DASH. RECENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST RANDOMLY FELL OFF THE TRACK. RECENTLY, EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK ELECTRICALLY: POWER DOOR LOCK, AND POWER WINDOW. AND I FIND THAT GM WILL NOT ADDRESS AT A MINIMUM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES? NOT GOOD.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. MY CAR MOVED FORWARD JUST SLIGHTLY, JERKED HARD TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYMORE. I WAS ABLE TO GET PUSHED TO THE SIDE IN NEUTRAL, BUT NEEDED A TOW TO THE DEALER. THE ONLY WORKING GEARS WERE R, 3, 2, AND 1. BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL IN THE SAME TYPE OF SCENARIO WHERE THEY WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP. SECOND ISSUE, NOT NEARLY AS MAJOR IS THE STABILITRAK. THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY, PRETTY MUCH FROM THE FIRST YEAR I'VE HAD THE CAR. AND LASTLY, THE INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALL PEELED OFF AND CUT ME AND MY PASSENGERS SEVERAL TIMES. THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE COME LOOSE, THE FUEL POCKET IS COMPLETELY BROKEN, AND AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, WATER GETS TRAPPED INSIDE THE SHELL OF THE BACK DOOR AND SLOSHES AROUND WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE BOTTOM LINING OF THE DOOR FOR THE TRAPPED WATER TO BE RELEASED. *KB
2007 TAHOE. INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT CLUNK NOISE. THIS NOISE IS A NUISANCE AND DOESN'T FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMEDIATELY SO IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACE THE SHAFT INSTEAD OF DOING TEMPORARY GREASE JOBS. *TR

TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING MY WIPERS HAVE QUIT ON ME. AFTER FIRST TIME IT THREW A "NO START" CODE AND THE TRUCK LEFT ME STRANDED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AN AGENT WITH GMC AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I FILE A CLAIM WITH YOU. IT IS VERY SCARY AND I AM LOOSING CONFIDENCE IN MY TRUCK. LUCKILY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT VERY WELL COULD. GMC DOES NOT HAVE RECORD OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHERS BUT I WOULD ADVISE THAT IT BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE MY COMMENTS TAKE A MORE SERIOUS DIRECTION. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

From owner reports, verbatim
The first problem was the cluster , it completely went off . I took it to a mechanic he said he fixed it . It works for one day then completely shut off again, I can not see what gear I am in , any alert that I need to see for warning and saftey completely off in the cluster . . Shortly after the first issue I noticed 2 cracks on my dashboard ,on both driver and passenger side of the vehicle . I had not put a lot of thought into that as it didn’t seem like a safety concern up until I’ve read several post of others with same issue . ( I’m guessing a fire should be expected anytime because of others stories I have read off here the cracks have lead to fires ) Another issue is I have to add quart oil to my Tahoe atleast every 2 -3 weeks . I’ve taken it to have that fixed and each time was told there is no leak . I get the works done each oil change and still have to add oil 2 weeks after a new air filter oil etc .. a major issue that could have been a major wreck was While driving down a highway around 11 pm .. my car started flickering lights inside and outside of my tahoe and it started making a loud click sound saying system is shutting down ,my steering wheel locked up and all power to vehicle completely shut down .period . No power to anything at all what so ever . The battery was fairly new . Well We had it towed back to town for a mechanic to look at the next day … he replaced the alternator and checked everything . Said he couldn’t see anythjng and told me I should sale it right away He warned me of a lot of issues he keeps seeing with Tahoe . Well now my driver door will not open at all I have to crawl through the passenger side door to get in and out of my car . With all these serious issues still going on I m very scared to be in my car , not getting my alerts and being trapped inside . Please someone point me in the right direction I have 5 kids this is not safe !

LATER ON THAT MORNING, THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD COLD AC WHILE THE REST OF THE CAR WAS THROWING HOT AIR ON IT'S OWN. BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT SAYING THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN, INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURNED ON. REPLACED THE DOOR MODULE AND ISSUE NOT FIXED. BATTERY DRAINS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND FIX ITSELF. THIS CAR IT'S USED ONLY TO DRIVE LESS THAN 10 MILES PER WEEK. IT IS SO ANNOYING WIHT THIS ISSUE JUST TO GET IT OUT AND BACK HOME. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, PASANGER DOOR SENSOR, AC FILTERS ALL THIS IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND IT'S ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

“Service traction control” “service stabilitrack” abs light, air bag light, tire pressure sensors all went bad at same time
Have owned the vehicle since new. For a long time I had been "topping off" the brake fluid in the master cylinder. Finally got a message on the dash telling me to "service brakes soon" that would come and go. Eventually made it to our local Chevrolet dealer while the message was displayed for diagnostic purposes. Was told code "C0299" was found regarding brake booster pressure sensor performance. Vehicle was repaired by replacing the master cylinder and hydraulic brake booster. A large amount of brake fluid was found inside the booster upon disassembly. Obviously had been leaking brake fluid from the master cylinder into the brake booster for a long time. Saw that Ford had a recent recall for a similar problem and I thought it was worth reporting. I retained both the master cylinder and brake booster for inspection if needed. Fortunately no incidents occurred due to this part failure before replacement.
Steering
Reports naming the steering system — racks, columns, power-steering assist and steering linkage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
