| I noticed a few drops of water leaking from the posterior part of the sunroof of my new 2007 Tahoe. I took it to the dealer and they were able to reproduce the problem. I was told by the service department to be "normal" in this model as the sunroof has some kind of drainage. I live in the desert and don't get too much rain. Last week experienced downpours and the leaking got worse to the point of getting the fabric wet. Took the car to dealership for second time and got the same answer: There is a "drip pan system" and some water will leak from the gasket to the drip pan and channel out of the car. I even poured water on another new tahoe from the lot and the same thing happened.... My car is getting excessive leaking and will be looked at again this week. I am still not convinced of this "new engineering" as I did also notice condensation of water on my windows as a result of moisture from the leakage. My recommendation DO NOT PURCHASE SUNROOF OPTION with the '07 Tahoe (Suburban, Avalanche, etc). I am very curious to see what other owners are experiencing, especially those living in temperate areas. | |

Replying to: xavierherrera (Oct 11, 2006 8:22 pm) On the tire sensor issue. I had my optional 20" chromed. When they put them back on, the left front didn't reset. Now I have the light going off and the DIC telling me to check the sensors. My tire is pumped up!! I can see this and don't need a computer to let me know!! What a pain to have to take it in for this. The wheel place wouldn't take responsibility. Said the dealer would have to fix it. Not exactly warranty work though. However, the wheels look awesome!!! One other "customizing" item I recommend - take off the awful gold bow tie on the rear!! It was $150 for the local body shop to take it off, fill in the holes and repaint. The best $150 I've ever spent. It looks fabulous.

Replying to: xavierherrera (Oct 11, 2006 8:22 pm) I haven't noticed any leakage from our sunroof inside our Suburban. You need to push back on your dealer and GM to fix your vehicle, there should be no water leakage into the vehicle. Maybe the drains are plugged (fine dust/sand?) or incorrectly installed, have them checked. They should be able to add water to the drip pan and observe the pan empty and drain out OUTSIDE the vehicle. Sometimes dealers don't want to spend the diagnostic time or don't know what to do so keep complaining until the issue is resolved. Also keep your Tahoe well ventilated - water can cause all sorts of issues - smells, mildew, mold, rust, so keep it dry until it's fixed. I'd throw a piece of plastic over the sunroof to keep the water out if possible. Good luck -- Gregg Boston, Mass (where's it's raining now)

I have 2007 tahoe thats 2 weeks old. For some reason the rear vents just blow out air.(cold air when its cold out and hot air when its hot out) I can't change the temperature of what comes out, hot or cold. Everything works fine up front. Its has the tri-zone air system. I've tried controlling it from up front and from the back.
