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,
Gregg

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.........

So, is your opinion that it is better to use or not to use the cruise control... I use cruise control as much as possible, the highest MPG I've see on a mostly highway drive is between 18 and 19mpg... Of course in Los Angeles it is nearly impossible to maintain a constant speed on any road... My AC on driving is between 13-14mpg and my non-AC is about 15.5 for my overall day to day commute..

I got the Generation3 GM LockPick from www.coastalnet.com. It is by far the best also unlocks the DVD for front seat viewing for front passenger.. easy to install and works like a charm. By far the best according to all my research. If thats what you got then you got the best. Good Luck !!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who things this Youkon is crap. I purchased my truck in October 2006 and since I have jumped started it 5 times, everything rattles on it. The back panel on the lift gate is coming completly a part and for some reason the radio, onstar system, dvd player door chimes etc. stop working at various times. I have gone to the dealership over and over to be told everything checks out fine. I will never buy GM AGAIN.

Gen III Lockpick here too. I was one of the unfortunate ones that had Gen I... what a disaster. They've fixed everything in the new version. The one referred to above looks just like our units, so I'm not sure who's making it.

I just returned home from a 2000 mile trip over the past week. About 1700 miles was highway driving and the rest small town/rural roads.
I ran the AC all the time, was not heavily loaded down - just my wife and I and a week's worth of luggage - and used cruise control set at about 65 - 70 mph about 65% of the time (while on the freeways -- I30, I40, I44, I55) through Arkansas and Missouri.
Overall trip resulted in 18.8 MPG and I am a shade below 10,000 miles on the odometer now. Highest I saw was about 19.9, after the first two days which covered about 880 miles of steady highway (TX 59 from Houston to Texarkana and then Interstates to St. Louis.)
The Tahoe performed beautifuylly and provided a great ride. Got several inquiries at various stops from strangers regarding the gas mileage and compliments on the Tahoe's appearance during the trip.
Around home, if careful, I get about 15 MPG.
