Hey mayher, Try calling a dealer and asking them. I had trouble with the oil change sensor and called a dealer and found out that by depressing the accelerator 3 or 4 times that this resets it and it did work. Good luck.

Several have experienced difficulty resetting the TPMS, especially those with the newer rubber valve stems. Some have had better luck by adding air rapidly or letting air out rapidly. Hope this helps.

I believe you're stuck taking it to the dealer. They will reset your indicators over their link as opposed to your tried method. I had problems after rotating my tires to a point where the "!" message came on the display. It's my opinion that the user reset method is complete junk.

Thanks, appreciate the input, but I already did that. They told me to follow the procedure in the manual which based on the feedback I am receiving is not unusual.
Also tried letting air out rapidly as suggested by another post. Even tried taking out the valve core to let air out rapidly. That didn't work either, fortunately I have a compressor to refill in my garage.
Third response hit it right on the head. " System is junk"
System is not very user friendly.

Was this problem resolved or has anybody else had this experience? I have '07 Denali that was fine when I took out my daughter out of her carseat yesterday, but when I opened the rear right door this morning, the trim hit the front door and dented it. I took it to the dealership, but they didn't offer any help. They recommended a place to get body work done and told me it was an issue for insurance. I'm not sure how to move forward with this issue, as I am certain it is not something we did. Any advice would be welcome...

You should bring this up with the Service manager and start a file with GM customer support. It is the service departements mission to deny any type of warranty request. However if you can prove your case to the service manager they will often assist you.
What's interesting is that the trim never hit the front door before so why would it hit now? Unless of course something moved;

My best guess is that the trim came loose as a result of a pretty heavy storm that night. I think water got between the door and the trim and the adhesive can loose. It is only sticking out a small amount, but it was enough to hit. I have since seen someone about getting the body work done and he said that he has seen this issue a few times. He has offered to help me with pursueing warranty coverage and has said he will put me in touch with the guy who used to run the local GMC dealer service department. He says this guy can confirm that this is known though not recognized issue with the Denali. We'll see where this goes. I've been really happy with my Denali, but if we can't arrive at a satisfactory resolution, it will be the last GMC I own.

I had pieces of the door molding on my '07 Tahoe come off and they replaced it and a couple of those had to be replaced. I think they did a poor prep at the factory and the dealer as that 3M trim tape is really good stuff.

Tons of Issues

I am wondering if anyone has had all of the problems I have had for the last 2 years with my 2007 Chevy Tahoe? Let me list them ALL and tell me if I'm crazy (I bought this June 2006 so it has been almost two years)!!
-Wouldn't start/dead battery - Oct. 06
-Wouldn't start/dead battery (stuck in garage!) - Dec. 06 Dealer replaced battery
-Back lift gate panel leaked (badly) - April 07
Electrical issues when starting/wouldn't turn over May-Nov. 07 Dealer told me this was normal yet when I persisted FINALLY told me there was an electrical upgrade.
-Battery showing low after I drive, stop, and restart - Dealer told me nothing wrong
-My backup automatic sensor turns off when I first start - Jan.08 -present
As you can see this thing has had problems yet the one that really scard me happend this weekend. I had to put it in 4 wheel drive (have rims and got a little stuck!), yet when I went to turn it to 2 WD it wouldn't go. I then shut it off, when I restarted it went to 4 low!!! I couldn't get it out at all!! FInally shut it off again and let it sit for awhile and when I turned it on it went to 2WD.
This is my last straw, I bought this brand new and gave up 2 perfectly good cars (03 Chevy Z71 and 05 Toyota Solara) because I liked the new style plus my husband works out of town so we wanted something reliable. Everytime I say something to my dealership they look at me like I'm a dumb female. I have grown up around cars so I do know a thing or two (not how to choose them though!).
Just curious if anyone else has had ALL of these issues?

I own a 2007 Tahoe, purchased when they were first released! I've had a few minor but very frustrating problems and the trim mold was the first, but it was both rear doors. My dealership replaced the trim immediately because one of the clips that secured it in place broke off. But within a month, it happened again. Growing up with a father owning an Auto Repair Shop and his brother owning an Auto Mechanic Repairs, I could tell something was not right but had to get higher management involved. They did acknowledge the trim mold is not a perfect fit because of a design flaw and when replaced the first time, they had to force it to fit. So, they replaced it again and used 3M tape to help secure it. This worked but I get wind noise occasionally bcause it is coming loose in places again. Good Luck and don't give up!
