Re: rain sensor- on my '02 TrailBlazer, there is a plastic ring glued to the W/S and the rain sensor fits in like a bayonet fitting (like auto lite bulbs). There is a thick, clear, sticky substance between the sensor and the W/S which I "think" might be to optically couple the sensor to the W/S. Haven't checked the one on the '07 Tahoes yet. But if it is the same, maybe they left the ring off. Mine is six weeks and counting.

Hey Hawkey54...As you will read below one problem that I too have experienced is the "L Trim" on both rear doors popping loose. However, I've got 2 other issues that my '07 LTZ is going into the shop on Monday for. Here's what I can tell you about these 2 problems:
 
1.) The piece of plastic on the dash closest to the front window is warped or popping up. It's not a smooth connection between the 2 pieces of plastic.
 
2.) 2 times now the ABS and Stabilitrac warning lights on the dash have come on while driving. In the CID it will also say "Service Stabilitrac" and also "Service Traction Control". When this first happened I immediately called the dealership and was told that this is just a "quirk" and if I turn the vehicle off and restart it that it will be OK...Bad Answer. I told the guy that I shouldn't have a "quirk" on a $50K vehicle and that they need to fix it or get me a new vehicle!!!
 
It will be in the shop on Monday and they will keep the truck until it's fixed. Fortunately they are giving me a loaner vehicle until I get mine back.
 
We'll see...............

For any of you out there that may also be interested in these mats, you can have a swatch mailed to you from www.usspeedonline.com (where Nacho bought his mats from) to make sure it's the color you want.
 
I was concerned after Nacho said his color wasn't quite what he wanted so I E-Mailed them. I got a response that if I told them the colors I was interested and gave them my home address that they would mail a piece of the mat to me so I could see which best matched.
 
Sounds like they offer some good customer service!! Also, they make a vinyl mat cover that fits exactly over these new mats to help protect them if anybody is interested.

Received LT 3 vehicle on 2-9-05
 
2-20-06 - First problem I had was the rear air conditioning didn't work. Dealer found out that the module and wires leading to the rear air was cut/crimped - dealer replaced module in one day.
 
3-15-06 - Second problem was numerous errors on the dash, flashing control panel and park assist light, fuel empty reading when tank was full, then car wouldn't start. Dealer had for a week. Identified as main computer module -was a RESTRICTED part so it had to be ordered directly from factory.
 
3-31-06 - Third problem is the vehicle is now shifting very hard from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Called dealer and he said if you turn vehicle off and back on then it will probably work, but that the transmission module is probably bad and IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. Dealer is picking up the car once again on 4-3-06.
 
Next time something happens - I will request a replacement vehicle.
 
FYI: The dealer is a friend and has been very accomodating throughout this whole process. Says that my vehicle is the only one they've had problems with.

I could leave the indicator off and still know when it's in V-4, with slight acceleration you can tell when it changes over. I believe the DIC is working correct.

Great job Rockin ltz. I am keeping the ones i have but eventually i will order a new set and get the swatches first. So far they have worked great, they dont get dirty easily and the monogramming looks great. Let us know how yours look when you get them.

Tahoe Transmissions by tahoe007

Since Tahoes have an on going problem with the tranmission and GM will not stand behind them, I just want to get the word out to hopefully save someone the headaches of buying a Tahoe.

That is too bad for you...I have the 2007 Tahoe and have had many others without Transmission problems at all....The 2007 is far beyond any previous Tahoes in ride and build

tahoe007, Would you please elaborate. Are you referring to just the 07 models? Is the transmission new for the 07? The transmission on my 2003 4wd Yukon worked great. Actually, everything worked great. GM says the Yukon and Tahoe are the same girl with different skirts. I took that to mean that the engine, transmission, etc. are the same.

This can be done with an inverter switch. The screen can be used for this without a problem but could void a warranty if issues arise with the unit...I would have it professionally done but some installers might be hesitant to do. Its against the law to be driving and have a DVD playing in the drivers view area...There is a shop here is Dallas that will do it and had it on my last vehicle.
