Might want to withhold your verdict 'til you know what caused the failure. We don't know how many miles on it, maintenance history, how the truck was used, what broke, etc. Not saying it wasn't a bad tranny, just a premature judgement.

My bad. 19K for milage. The truck isn't driven much anymore. We bought a third, get around car for my wife. To and from work. 30+mpg much more efficient. The Tahoe wasn't driven hard. It was used to transport kids to and from competitions. Most miles where highway. Only use the 4wd twice. Both in snow. I talked to the maint department yesterday. It was on the rack getting a new tranny or so they say. I have yet to go by and see it. Still a firm believer in the make. Here is hoping for the best.

When you see hundreds of posts on many forums on the net talking about premature transmission failures.....I don't think my judgement was premature.

I have a 96 chevy tahoe, 5.7 liter. There is a high pitch whining noise when driving in warm to hot weather at highway speeds. Anyone have any idea what is causing this and what to do about it? It has 115,000 miles on it now... Thanks..

Your '07 should still be under warranty. Call your dealer and they will come pick up the vehicle and take it to their shop. Let them handle it. I would not try to "jump it". That could cause additional problems.

Little tranny update. Picked up the Tahoe today. It took more than a week to get the warranty to approve a new tranny but they did, when they saw the amount of parts and labor it would take to rebuild. The battery was determined to be ok. Just had to do some sort of software download. So far so good. Of course it took 19K miles to ruin the tranny last time. 18995 mile to go.

2002 brakes and rotors by taxiecab
Mar 27, 2008 (4:16 pm)

My wife has a 2002 Buick La and I have a 2002 tahoe 2 wd 4 dr. when we went to have the brakes replaced after over 50,000 miles she was told they could not turn the rotors and they would all have to be replaced. She did find one brake shop that would turn the rotors and they did and so far the brakes have been ok. On my 2002 Tahoe when I had brakes put on they tried to turn the rotors and they just fell apart and could not be turned. The material was like some kind of pot metal and just crumbled up. I had to spend and additional $400. dollars for all new rotors. Had the same problem on my 1997 Tahoe when I had brakes put on at 30.000 miles and they turned the rotors and the next time I needed brakes at just 55,000 the rotors had to be replaced.
         On my 2002 Tahoe truck I have been having brake problems when at the end of a slow stop the wheel next to the driver would make a noise and make the brake pedal feel like something hit it. some times it would do it and some times not. I took it to my garage and they said the brakes were on recall. When i checked with all the dealers they said it was not for here but for Canada due to the high salt usage on thier roads. The service mgr. of the dealer where i bought it said he would ck into it and see what he could do. He was aware of the problem and said it was due to corosion and they needed to be clean and sensors ckecked.
        The service Mgr.called me today and said they will do it and Gen. Mts. will pay for it. I told him the only problem was that I just had a wreck with it where I rearended the truck in front of me because i could not get it stopped. It was a low speed accident and no air bags were deployed and I know it was do to those damn ABS brakes. The pedal was to the floor and mushy like air in the lines or what ever they did not feel right. Gen. Mts. has had a brake problem for many years now going way back into the early 90's and they just keep dancing around it and won't try to fix it. They love to sell rotors. The NBTS needs to make an accounting of this mes and bring them to task.
         Like when my wife purchased her 2002 Buick she asked if there was an emg trunk release inside of the trunk compart incase some one would lock u in it. They all said yes from the dealer to the manufacture. "They said all 2002 were equiped with them". I said please find hers. There was not one and do you know why? Her car was built in Aug. and they law didn't go inot effect until Sept. 1st so they didn't do it until the law made them. I would have cost maybe $2 bucks so that gives you a good idea of what they think of your safety. No wonder people buy those foreign Japnesse cars so much. They are a lot smarter than I am.
