2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints and Recall Information
The 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE has 3 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to tire failures, sudden rear wheel lockup, and air bag replacement difficulties in certain regions.
Common Issues- Tire sidewall blowout. A slow leak in the Bridgestone Dueler H/L P275/60R20 Alenza tire was unnoticed for about a year before the sidewall completely blew out on the highway at 70 mph without prior visible damage.
- Rear wheel lockup. Rear wheels suddenly locked during traffic, causing the tires to leave skid marks. The cause was identified as a transmission failure by an auto repair shop.
- Air bag replacement difficulties. In France, owners reported that garages refuse to perform air bag replacement or cover the costs despite the vehicle being part of an air bag recall.
There are 6 recalls for the 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE affecting electrical systems and air bag inflators among others. These recalls address risks such as potential fires and air bag inflator explosions caused by propellant degradation.
Recalls- Electrical system defect. (NHTSA recall 10V240000) A total of 1,365,070 vehicles were affected by a defect in the heated washer fluid system that could ignite and cause a fire. The fix involved dealers permanently disabling and removing the heated washer fluid module. The recall began June 11, 2010.
- Passenger frontal air bag inflator – Zone A. (NHTSA recall 21V050000) This recall affected 2,641,272 vehicles originally sold or registered in specified southern and coastal states. Non-desiccated inflators with phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant may explode due to long-term exposure to humidity and heat, risking serious injury or death. Dealers will replace the inflator free of charge, with owner notifications starting in February and March 2021.
- Passenger frontal air bag inflator – Zone B. (NHTSA recall 21V052000) Affecting 557,023 vehicles in certain midwestern and eastern states, inflators were similarly defective and liable to explode. Dealers will perform replacement free of charge. Owner notifications began February and September 2021.
Owners dealing with repeated safety-related repairs, unresolved recalls, or defects affecting critical vehicle systems could have rights under their state’s lemon law. They should consider consulting with consumer protection resources to understand these rights.
