“Twice now while driving my wipers have quit on me. After first time it threw a no start code and the truck left me stranded. I have spoken with an agent with gmc and they suggested that I file a claim with you. It is very scary and I am loosing confidence in my truck. Luckily nothing serious has happened but it very well could. Gmc does not have record of this issue with others but I would advise that it be looked into before my comments take a more serious direction. Please advise.”
NHTSA complaint #10587218, filed 2014-05, 113,000 miles“The driver's side window switch fried on our 2007 chevy Tahoe lt. It literally burned a hole in the side of the switch where the two circuit boards come together. It is a miracle that the entire car did not go up in flames. I've done a little research online and apparently this is not an isolated incident. The 2006-2007 chevy trialblazers and toyota rav4's have had the same issues. I believe there needs to be a recall of some sort in order to make sure this does not happen to anyone else and potentially catch the entire vehicle on fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10467735, filed 2012-07, 98,000 miles“I purchased a new 2007 chevy Tahoe in july of 2007. September 2007 I had to take the SUV in to have the rear window defogger cable reattached to the rear window, it fell off. After discussing with service manager, I was told that it was a design defect, the wire was not long enough and the tension from opening the rear glass causes the cable to break free. They had a window company re-attach it, one week later, I was back in and a new rear window was ordered. In november 2008 I had the cable break free on the replaced rear window, I had it repair, than the other side detached. …”
NHTSA complaint #10257011, filed 2009-01, 42,000 miles“We have had trouble with our front wipers turning on and squirting wiper fluid in the off (yes the off) position while we are driving. The car must be turned off and restarted to stop the wipers and squirting fluid. This has happened about 15 times since we bought our new SUV. It never does it when we bring it into the dealership so they can't find a problem. The last time it happened, there was very dense white smoke before the wipers started moving and shooting fluid (once again...it was totally in the off position!!!). Now the intermittent wiper mode does not work at all. …”
NHTSA complaint #10242065, filed 2008-09, 100 miles“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. …”
