RE. ELI A.’S CLUNK I just had my ‘07 in for the clunk. 34,000 miles. Dealer told me to leave 4wd selecter knob at 2w high position not AUTO as this engages portions of the 4wd system full time. They also dropped the drive shaft in rear and lubed everything (NO CHARGE). Haven’t felt the clunk since. I love my Tahoe!

We are dealing with wind noise/rattle in the windshield in our 2006. Very annoying. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

WIND NOISE! We have lots of wind noise in our 07 Tahoe. The wind noise comes from the drivers side and is very loud. It is in the shop for the second time for the wind noise problem also the second time for the molding on the inside of the back door. I’m I the only one?

I have to agree the 2007 Tahoe is a piece of SHIT. Since I got the truck it has been in and out of the shop. My gas gage floats I can start out at ¾ of a tank and it will go up to ½ of a tank. The dealership has changed multiple parts and can not seem to fix it. The blower in the air conditioner went out that had to be replaced as well. My service light came on and another part had to be replaced. I would have to say that my truck has been in the shop at least 30 days. I would not buy another GM vehicle. The dealership was so quick to sell me the truck, not that quick to help me.

The Tahoe is complete junk and I’m sorry I (ALMOST)bought it. The third row is a total joke and the mpg is nothing like advertised. I’m going to move to the new Expedition - yes MPG is not better but the fold flat 3rd seat is fantastic plus I can actually put adults back there.

Someone’s head at GM should roll for this garbage.

I Bought my 2007 Tahoe LTZ in July, it has been in service for over 35 days and I get 8MPG with E85 and 10.5 with 87 octane. I don’t have a lead foot. Also, I’m unable to use the power invertor since the voltage drops to conserve fuel. I wish I had the same luck as the other postings.

It sounds as if you have a bad body control module. I’m 99.9% sure that is what is causing the gremlins in your Tahoe

I had a 2000 Tahoe (newer body syle) which I drove for 4 years. I just purchased a 07 Tahoe LT1and I must say that there have been immense improvments in the ride, ergonomics and aesthetic appeal. As far as gas mileage goes I haven’t had the opportunity to really tell if theres any difference. I am very pleased with GM’s new approach to the large SUV market.

your gas mileage is a far cry from my 9.5 in town and 17.9 at best on freeway or cross country trips. in addition at 5000 and 10000 miles the car suddenly downshifts from 70 mph, a/c goes off, and tach goes to zero. no answer so far from those geniuses at gm. am about to call NTSB and let them know we have a dangersous vehicle. Think that will stimulate a recall?

Having wrung 94,000 pleasant and reliable miles out of my ‘99 Expedition, I began looking for its replacement last spring. I decided to lease this time, and found the ‘07 Tahoe to be a veritable bargain compared to comparably-equipped ‘06 Expeditions that I was pricing (Apparently the Tahoe had higher residuals at that time.). I had previously driven an ‘04 Tahoe for awhile, and found it to be a good engine surrounded by a mediocre vehicle. I was unimpressed.

Then I drove an ‘07 Tahoe, equipped with the LT1 option package. A very different vehicle than the ‘04, with much better handling, steering and brakes, and a quieter, more refined ride. It’s a handsome devil, too! I now have 4,000 miles on my ‘07 and am very happy with it. This is a vehicle that is definitely worth consideration if a large SUV is on your shopping list.

Well I just traded in an ‘01 Excursion and purchased an ‘07 Tahoe as shown in your article,minus the navigation system, and it is my first Chevy I have owned. I have to agree with you ,this vehicle rides terific, has great power,no road noise,gas milage, in the foothills of Califonia, comfortable,easy to drive,and on and on.and only paying 43,500 was a grest deal to me. My wife and four kids ,13,12,8 ,& 6, fit it it just fine and if this new Tahoe holds up as good as my friends earlier models of Tahoe’s this is a family vehicle that should last many years and miles to come. Road trips will be even more appealling to the family with the Tahoe.
