| Me again...Another problem I've had with my '07 Tahoe is what they've been calling a "body creak". I had it only 3 months when it starting creaking badly with every small bump or turn I took. One dealership could definitely hear it, but couldn't figure out how to fix it. My original dealer tried lubricating(?) the rubber door seals, and it helped some, but 3 months later it's back as bad as ever. Again, I paid too much for a vehicle that's not going to be as good as new 6 months down the road! Any advice??? | |

What does get under my skin is the fact that they claim that their Active Fuel Management system drops to 4 cyl when cruising on the highway.. That's what I was told, that's what they advertise, that's what sold me & that's what I expect to see. However, I ONLY see it drop to 4cyl on the decline or when taking my foot off the gas. That's when I'm least concerned about gas mileage. Therefore, it is meaningless to me. WHAT A JOKE.. WE GOT SCREWED by thier fictitious claims. You can't blame that on old EPA standards. This was purley GM's intention. A marketing ploy. They are smart. They know that all they have to do is sell people on something enough to get them to drive a gas guzzler off the lot so that it's no longer GM's problem. That's what smart SCUM does!! They know the only way consumers can do something about it is if they were to team up. They also know that the odds of that happening are rediculously low. Therefore they chose to take the risk. They also know that consumers don't want to make a big fuss over it b/c it will slow the sales of these Tahoes & cause aftermarket values to drop quickly. So, we either play along with it and shut up or risk the value of our Tahoes bottoming out.. I would rather shut up and never buy GM again. Toyota & Nissan are soundng pretty good now. Shane

It may be a computer programming problem. If enough of you complain to GM they probably will come up with a fix.

| It's been very aggravating not getting any info from my #1 source for automotive information. I already see more posts today than the past three weeks. | |

Replying to: nosbor77 (Nov 14, 2006 8:47 am) Not much has been posted about the 3 cylinder deactivation they have, other than it tends to be very noisy when in 3 cylinder mode. Basically GM isn't alone and you can't say all the imports are better. |
