I have an 07 Avalanche LTZ with the same driver side mirror problem. The mirror shaked so I had the dealer replace it. The replacement shakes too and worse the glass is wavy so it distorts the rearward view especially at night with reflecting headlights. Annoying. Calling the dealer this morning to schedule another try. FYI Chevy sells after market color matched mirror cover kits for around $70 for left and right mirrors. I bought the Summit White set, color code 50U. Go to http://www.gm.oeaccessories.com/Home/.
 
You can pop the (poorly) painted one off and snap this one on in a few minutes. Look just like new. Not sure why the dealer can't use these rather than painting them. I am waiting to see if the dealer can get an acceptable replacement mirror before I pop the good one on.
 
To greggboston: Dealer says it's normal. Right, normal for a defective, badly designed part.
 
Regards,
 
Rob

Hey everyone,
 
I have a couple of things you can tell people when they complain to you that you are contributing to the distruction of the world by using poor gas mileage cars.
 
First, I'm sure a lot of us have the flex fuel option. This is great, a renewable fuel source that comes from our own country. A win win situation.
 
Second, the new active fuel management makes the Tahoe and Yukon one of the best fuel efficient full size SUVs there is.
 
For us family people, we know... its either a big car at 15 mpg or two smaller cars a 22 mpg (umm that comes down to 11mpg overall for one trip)... Ever try fitting, two adults, two children in car seats, strollers, diaper bag, toys, snacks and all of the other stuff for the kids in a small car... then try going to the store...
 
I'm sure there's a lot of us out here that bought the Tahoe/Yukon because of its fuel management systems. Great job on helping to reduce fuel problems...

To be fair, you could do that in a minivan and get better mileage than a Tahoe/Suburban. If you need to tow a heavy trailer, then a minivan won't cut it. But you don't need a Tahoe/Suburban for a family of four. You might want one, but that's a different story...

There are a lot bigger problems in the world than gas prices. Believe me there is plenty of fuel. Most of the folks who can afford the higher end vehicles are paying much higher taxes too.. plus luxury tax on many vehicles. You should be happy to see that most of these folks are not as closed minded as many are.. Most of us work very hard for the priviledges that we have and we should be able to drive what ever we want without some pea-brain picking on us.

I'm looking for people in California that match either of these situations..
 
1. 2007 Tahoe LT2 with a Navigation system and bose.
2. 2007 Tahoe any trim with Navigation system that has the disapearing clock problem. (To see if this is you put an MP3 disk in the radio and leave it in for a couple of days listening to it.)
 
I'm having some issues with my truck and I'm looking for people in the same boat that might might be able to direct me to their dealer if they've gotten the problems fixed. Hense, why I care about people in California...

A lot of minivans don't do much better. Read the real world mileage reports in the minivan forums. You'll see 18 mpg or so compared to 16 in a Tahoe. Not enough difference there for me to drive a rattly-door dorkmobile that can't carry all our camping gear without sagging in the rear end.

George-
 
Interesting that I live in CA and own a 2007 LTZ as well. We have had it just over a year now and our passenger side wiper blade has flown off twice!!! (no ice or snow!) Both times my wife had to stop and go back to find the wiper blade. we are trying to find a source for these wiper blades for our business and are having difficulties as well. It is unfortunate that these were not tested more rigorously before dumped onto such a nice vehicle!

Low fuel warning hyperactive by macman246

We have 650 miles on our '07 Yukon Denali. Has anyone experienced premature low fuel warnings?
 
This happened all on the same tank, over 2 days. When idling facing downhill with a 1/4 tank, the needle went down to between E and 1/4, and the low fuel warning went off. After leveling off the needle never went back up. After parking level for 2-3 hours, the needle was still between E and 1/4. Parking overnight, the needle came up past 1/4, then dropped all the way down to E when idling downhill for 1-2 minutes, setting off the warning again. Afterwards when idling on level ground, the needle never budged from E.
 
Right after that, I tanked up and put in 20.5 gallons, which means I still had 6 gallons left. The DIC said I had used 20.6 gallons.
 
Anyone else experience this? The hills we experienced this on are NOT steep hills at all, just slight inclines.
