All, I need some help from my fellow 07 Tahoe owners. I have been fighting with a local dealership about my cricket sound (it is more of a whistle). They have changed my cluster, my alt and today they told me to go to a different dealership because they didn't know what to do and told me the noise I hear is normal, yet the service manager told me the other 3 times I brought it in he heard it too. Now here is what I need help with, when you start your truck,and start to drive off slowly turn down your radio and listen for a whistle sound. Yes I do understand that the vehicle does make some sounds like this, but this is a loud metallic type whistle. It will happen on slow take offs and up to about 35, 40 mph and not while turning just straight. I'm going to try one more dealership since these clowns just quit on me, but if this is normal, I guess I'm the clown. |

Replying to: tripwire (Oct 08, 2007 3:56 pm) Long story short...I had started the "Lemon Law"  process on my first LTZ that I purchased in March 2006, but ended up doing a "swap" for a BRAND NEW LTZ in April of 2007!! I'll spare you the details of what I went through with my first truck...But have been VERY pleased with the replacement that was built and shipped straight to me. I ended up working through the BBB Autoline process which dealt directly with Detroit and GM's Customer Care Department. They negotiated everything on my behalf and we never had to take it to court. Was a tedious process...But GM still has a satisfied customer!!  I'd check into what rights as a new car owner you have in your state...It may be worth your time and effort to look into it. |

Replying to: tripwire (Oct 08, 2007 3:56 pm) I had that same whistling noise early on. It took some guesswork, but the service manager figured out that he could replace the steering mechanism and that eliminated the whistle. I'm not allowed to give out the service manager's name on this board, but call Jim Reed Chevrolet in Nashville, TN and ask for the service manager. Ask them to look up the repairs on Shawn Hackett's 2007 Tahoe LTZ for the whistling noise. I'm sure your dealer's service department could replace the same part for you. Hopefully it will cure the noise for you too. Good luck! |

I haven't noticed the same sound from my truck that is being described. But I've had a lot of ongoing issues for well over a year now that GM has admitted are problems, but aren't getting fixed. Unfortunately, I've had to resort to going the legal process and I'm taking GM to court. In short, I'm having mirror problems, radio problems, bose problems, door locking problems. I've been to multiple dealerships all with the same answers, in writing; GM knows about the issues but there are no repairs. If you want more details just visit this webpage, explains a lot... http://www.wcclaw.com/CM/ClassActions/ChevyTruck.asp Thanks.. G |

I just purchased a 07 yukon on Sept. 26. My vehicle was shipped on 2/13/07 according to the invoice. The dealer says I'm not eligible for the aged discount, nothing comes up for my vin# for discounts other than the regional incentive at the time which was $3,000. Anybody know a way to find out if this is really true or if I'm being ill informed by the dealer? Thanks |

Replying to: shawnhackett (Aug 28, 2007 4:51 am) Took my Tahoe in Friday, October 12th 2007, to Advantage Chevy in Boling Brook IL, they had the SUV there the entire day and told me they could not hear and identify the problem, of course I was pissed. Now mind you I told them about this site and about other 2007 Tahoe owners having the same problem. Well, I took my truck home. This morning I took it back because the whistling got louder, again they said they could not hear it. Now, I am really upset. So they checked the GM service site, and found Document ID#1974648 (5/22/2007) Subject: "Power Steering High pitched Whistle Noise Heard". Man this document has been out there since May 22, 2007, and these guys did not know about it. Just to let everone know, GM is aware of the noise which is internal to the steering gear, and the engineers are investigating, they do not have a solution for this at this time. I am going to call GM, and would advised each of you to do the same. Don't stop calling until they fix this problem. BTW, it effects the following : 2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and EXT models, 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Silverado 1500, and Tahoe, 2007 GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL. If anyone need additioanl information, hit me up.
