2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Visibility & Wipers Problems

STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND MY SUNROOF UNEXPLAINABLE EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO MISSILES,OBJECTS OR DEBRIS THAT CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO SHATTER. IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERED AND HELD TOGETHER BY THE FILM. *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

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 CHEVY TAHOE IN JULY OF 2007. SEPTEMBER 2007 I HAD TO TAKE THE SUV IN TO HAVE THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CABLE REATTACHED TO THE REAR WINDOW, IT FELL OFF. AFTER DISCUSSING WITH SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT, THE WIRE WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND THE TENSION FROM OPENING THE REAR GLASS CAUSES THE CABLE TO BREAK FREE. THEY HAD A WINDOW COMPANY RE-ATTACH IT, ONE WEEK LATER, I WAS BACK IN AND A NEW REAR WINDOW WAS ORDERED. IN NOVEMBER 2008 I HAD THE CABLE BREAK FREE ON THE REPLACED REAR WINDOW, I HAD IT REPAIR, THAN THE OTHER SIDE DETACHED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISE THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED BASED ON THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE RELEASED SERVICE CORPORATION BULLETIN (#03-08-48-006E). I FEEL SINCE THIS BULLETIN WAS RELEASED, THIS IS A CONFESSION OF A DESIGN DEFECT AND THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE. THEY ORDERED A NEW WINDOW AND IT WAS CHARGED TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY, I HAD TO PAY 100.00. I FEEL THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A RECALL. *TR

REAR DEFROST CABLE CAME OFF NUMEROUS TIMES HAD DEALER FIX AT LEAST TWICE AND THEN THEY REPLACED WHOLE BACK GLASS THEN CABLE STILL CONTINUED TO COME OFF . IT ONLY CAME OFF DURING MONTHS DEFROST WAS BEING USED, COLD WEATHER. CABLE CONNECTION SEEMED TO BE MELTING OFF FROM SOLDER. THIS TOO SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES. ALSO SINCE OWNING THIS TAHOE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE NEVER SEEMED TO BE WIPING FAST ENOUGH IN A HARD RAIN,( NOT A DOWNPOUR, JUST STEADY HEAVY RAIN) IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE THROUGH WINDSHIELD. WITH VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST, MOSTLY CHEVROLETS, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH OUR FRONT WIPERS TURNING ON AND SQUIRTING WIPER FLUID IN THE OFF (YES THE OFF) POSITION WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO STOP THE WIPERS AND SQUIRTING FLUID. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR NEW SUV. IT NEVER DOES IT WHEN WE BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THERE WAS VERY DENSE WHITE SMOKE BEFORE THE WIPERS STARTED MOVING AND SHOOTING FLUID (ONCE AGAIN...IT WAS TOTALLY IN THE OFF POSITION!!!). NOW THE INTERMITTENT WIPER MODE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THESE OCCURRENCES ARE VERY, VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE! WE JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR OUR 2007 TAHOE BUT I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE FIRE RISK BECAUSE I KNOW WE DEFINITELY HAVE AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE RECALL. CAN WE GET THE RECALL FIXED BEFORE NOVEMBER 1, 2008 AND STILL HAVE IT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL? THE LAST EPISODE WAS THIS MONTH. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND SOLUTION COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY EVEN WHEN THE CONTROL IS TURNED OFF. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WITH ECCESS SOLUTION IS SPRAYING CONTINUOUSLY AND UNCONTROLLABLE. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED A LETTER WAS RECEIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT INSTRUCTED THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS SHOULD BE FOLDED IN AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH AND NOT USED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THE REPAIR WAS DELAYED, BECAUSE A REMEDY WAS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH NEW 2007 TAHOE, INCLUDING RECALL HVAC, REPLACE DVD, REPLACE RADIO, VIBRATING LEFT DRIVER'S MIRROR, BACK DOOR MOLDING, REPAIRED PASSENGER DOOR POWER LOCKS...HOWEVER, MAIN AND IRREPARABLE ISSUE IS THE POOR FM & XM RADIO RECEPTION WHICH FADES IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING. *NM
