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.

Couple hundred MP3s, I know it is an issue thats why I'm asking who else has the problems... My manual doesn't referrence anything about a maximum number of songs (maybe an earlier printing) and my dealership simply says that GM is working on the problem... That's not a great answer... y'know...

Hi,
This is from the Navigation Radio supplement manual, page 72 on MP3 CD's. They "recommend" a maximum of 192 files!
 
"Maximum number of folders is 253 with a
maximum hierarchy of eight folders.
• Create a folder structure that makes it easy to
find songs while driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each album.
Each folder or album should contain 18 songs
or less.
• It is recommended that there is a maximum
of 192 files on a disc."
 
Post again if GM does indeed "fix" this issue.
 
Good Luck,
- Gregg

Hi Greg,
 
Took it in last Friday, May 18th. They replaced the mirror only and not the cover. No luck. The second replacement mirror shakes worse and the glass is just as distorted and wavy as was the first replacement. Most annoying at night. I haven't seen a TSB on this. Do you happen to know the number.
 
I'll be sending in my Service Satisfaction Survey and relay my disappointment with such a simple item. A bit reluctant to take back to the dealer again at this point.
 
Thanks for your input.
 
Regards,

Hi Gregg,
 
I looked and did find those recommendations on the CD size...
 
Do you, or anyone else, know that if following this specs stops the clock from disappearing? No sense in re-doing my CD if its not going to make a difference...

Got a lemon by zepres

Hi, any lemon law expert out there?
 
We bought a 2007 LTZ Tahoe last year. Love the vehicle until it started to leak tranmission oil. Dealer attempted to fix it 3 times. Now it's leaking oil again. Called GM and was told to take it back to the dealership. Dealer said they were transmission leaks but in different places so it's not considered the same issue. What a bunch of BS!!!
 
We are seeking legal remedy. Any advise is appreciated.
 
Thanks

Hello,
No, haven't tried any experiments other than when I put a disc with about 300 MP3's on it, after a short period of time the clock disappears. After removing the disc the closk re-appears after re-starting the vehicle a short time later. This is the only time I have seen this issue.
 
Good luck,

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having some issues with your vehicle. There is a lot of electronic content in these newer vehicles which is a double edged sword. Some of the "software" was not perfect when the vehicle was launched but the updates are easy to download into the vehicle. I've had the jump start issue 2x but GM has updated software to address this issue. As for the radio, onstar, dvd, door chimes, etc these all are part of the radio system. If you keep having the issue push to have your dealer replace the radio unit. Rattles are a pain and it sounds like you have a specific issue with the tailgate. If your dealer can't help you, go to another dealer. Some are more competent than others.
 
Good Luck,
- Gregg
