2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Steering Problems

“I recently experienced a known electrical issue for the first time yesterday. I just had my Tahoe at the dealer last week for strange clacking noise under the hood. They stated I would just have to wait until it did it again. Yesterday everything went haywire and my Tahoe appeared possessed. Door locks, gearing shifting was affected making it difficult to drive and steer due to loss of power steering, which could have caused serious risk to others around me and my two children in the car. …”

“As I was driving down the interstate at a controlled speed of 70mph I suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. As this happened I felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. This is now happening every day I drive to work or anywhere I drive over 55mph. I have a 4 month old son and I am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. I have read that service centers can not fix this.”

“I was backing out of a parking space and all of a sudden an alarm I had never heard before started going off in my car and I couldn't move my steering wheel causing me to hit a handicapped parking sign/pole in the parking space next to the one I was trying to back out of. I couldn't get my wheel to turn to get it off the sign and I thought for sure the whole left side of my fender would be demolished. When I exited my vehicle, it only tore the paint off the fender and a small dent, it is barely noticeable, but I was hardly going any speed at all since I was backing out. …”

“I reported to Chevrolet that my Tahoe was making a clunking sound when turning the steering wheel. I also informed them that I had gone to a local service shop to have three wheel alignments as the tires were feathering (inner wear of the tire). Date are 05/31/2008 wheels replaced(2) and alignment done. 07/15/2009 2 wheels replaced. 11/05/2009 alignment done, 01/25/2010 alignment done. Dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty intermediate drive shaft after a week long inspection. Shaft was replaced at dealer on 02/2010. …”

“We took our vehicle to the dealer for a 3rd time now (look for my other complaint on this website on electrical problems/windshield problems) for the same problem plus a number of multiple other problems. The problem that the dealer can't seem to remedy is the windshield wipers and wiper spray keep coming on all by themselves and cannot be turned off unless you turn the vehicle off and then restart it. They've replaced the windshield wiper module but they still come on randomly. The heated seats sometimes don't work and in order to get them to work you must restart the car. …”
