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.

Yeah, I had it happen once... I was in a bad area and though someone siphoned my gas... It only happened once though and was a pretty steep hill.. Also, I was parked at the time...

This is a common GM problem. I have an '06 Suburban that does the same thing. Easy answer is to keep the tank at least 1/2 full which is a good idea anyway.

____________________________________________________________There have been many complaints about the new '07 wiper systems and blades, especially in the ice and snow country. Seems GM contracted out the design and manufacture of the system and the new blades don't work well in ice and snow conditions. There are no plans at the time to build a better blade. And aftermarket manufacturers can't build one either because GM owns the copyright, at least for a year. And there are many reports of the blades flying off the vehicles. At this time the only source for parts is still the GM dealers. Good luck.

Hi,
 
Disappearing clock problem is a known issue with the Nav-radio. There is a restriction on the maximum number of MP3's on a disc (check your manual). I found the issue when I put in a CD that had exceeded the limit. Clock comes back after the CD is removed and the system resets. My guess is the software has a memory leak when it catalogs the MP3's it wipes out the memory for the clock. Not sure if GM has a fix for this.... How many MP3's are on your CD?
 
Good luck,

Hi Rob,
I was being sarcastic about my dealer saying it's "normal". We still have the issue, haven't gone back to have the mirror replaced again. Not sure if I mentioned that there is a GM bulliten on this issue that instructs dealers to go through a specific troubleshoot and repair process. The issue exists across the GM product line according to what I saw on the bulliten. Keep pushing back on your dealer until you are satisfied.
 
Good luck,

I have the same issue..The entire door frames internally creak over bumps. When the windows are down they rattle too. I took it to the dealer ship and the cleaned out the loose change from the limited storage on the driver side and passenger side and said they couldn't hear any creaks What a joke. Quality control needs their hearing checked at GM. No wonder. What a piece of shit. A 97 Toyota 4-Runner has less creaks with 100K mi on it. GM needs a fuF&$! kick in the AZZ. As the V4- V8 mode is lie, the EPA mileage is lie, E85 (1 station in all of CA.) no storage space another joke, rattles on the dashboard, cheap plastic everywhere, 3rd row seats that only a guy can lift out. You can't even take of the head rests out of the second row bucket seats are safety issue in the blind spot to drive. Every time I put the key in the ignition the radio buzzes and sounds like it's broken. When i open the door you can hear it click. I had the battery die twice already and had to jump start it. Oh yeah and that driver side mirror shaking..Dealer said they fixed that too..Who the heck is running quality control at GM needs to be put out to pasture w/ the executive management team. Hey GM QA Team! I will lend you my 97 4-Runner to copy when you get your heads out of the sand.

Yes...This is normal. Right now.........I am getting 16.5 and 19.7 on the highway with my 07 Tahoe purchased in March 06 - with th AC on. Though, I am not a heavy, footer......not since my old muscle car back in the late 80s.
 
As a mechanic, new cars need a break in period with last up to 1000 miles. I too, noticed that the milage I was getting was not par with stated results. However, a month later I was getting the milage I was expected. When I go on a 4 hour trip - there is no surprise that I an getting ~ 20 - 21 mpg - and yes,,,,,with the AC on and going 68 - 71 MGH.
 
I know there were some concerns with some other 07 Tahoe owners regarding MPG....but I think it is a matter of driving habits.
 
My wife is a heavy footer.......I check her mpg after I clear my out in the control center - and she gets an avg of 14.7..........vs my 16.7.
 
Go figure.........
