My "stability" light comes on and no mechanic knows why. It doesn't throw any codes to say what's wrong or anything... the light just comes on and off through the day... I just want to know if I need to worry bout it or not... I drive with my kids in my truck.. And my truck shakes/vibrates badly when breaking and if going 70mph or faster

NHTSA complaint #11428557 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY TAHOE SHOWED STABILITRAK ISSUES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK IT INTO THE NEAREST DEALER. IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN A MONTH AGO. THE TRUCK TURNS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND AS I'M PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, NOW I'VE HAD ISSUES WHEN I TRY TO LOCK IT WITH THE FOB; IT DOES NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT A BUSINESS BECAUSE IT WON'T TURN BACK ON AND I HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE AND TRY TO CRANK IT. IT COMES BACK ON BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN 3 TIMES. NOW, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AS I PULLED INTO MY WORK GARAGE, EVERYTHING TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND THIS TIME NOTHING CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, THANKFULLY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND I HAD TO TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. I WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THIS IS A VERY BUSY CITY STREET IN THE MORNING HOURS. I WAS LUCKY IT TURNED BACK ON AT ALL. ANOTHER TIME, I COULD NOT START MY TRUCK WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK AND I WAS STUCK ON THE 3RD FLOOR OF MY PARKING GARAGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I'LL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS TAHOE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO TRAVEL 3 FREEWAYS TO GET TO WORK AND BACK HOME DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS WELL BECAUSE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WHERE THE TRUCK TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, I WILL HAVE NO CONTROL ON GETTING HIT OR HITTING SOMEONE ELSE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH)

THIS VEHICLE ENDURED AND ACCIDENT IN 2017. STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY AND OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES HAS RATED THIS VEHICLE AS HIGH RISK. THE SELLER, LAFONTAINE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP DIDN'T DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION AND IT WAS MISSING ON THE CARFAX. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. SWAY BARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WAS REPLACED WITHIN A WEEK OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE REPAIRS; IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT THEY RUN THOROUGH TEST PRIOR TO SELLING SAFE VEHICLES. THIS TYPE OF REPAIRED SERVICE WAS LIFE THREATENING. VIN# [XXX]. SALE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2019. LAFONTAINE DEXTER 7120 DEXTER-ANN ARBOR RD. DEXTER, MICHIGAN 48130. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND BENEATH THE HOOD WHEN I TURNED CORNERS TO MY RIGHT AND LEFT. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER FIVE DAYS FOR REPAIRS. I DON'T HAVE UNDER BODY PICTURES FOR THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC
NHTSA complaint #11331693 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY ISSUES STARTED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO WHEN DROPPING MY CHILD OFF AT DAYCARE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I PULLED IN THE DAYCARE AND IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AT THAT POINT THE STABLITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BECAUSE I TRIED TO MOVE IT AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT JERKED SO HARD I WAS SCARED THE ENGINE BLEW. I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED CHEVY MECHANIC, CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE. WE REPLACED THE PLUGS, COIL PACKS ETC, TRYING TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. HE FINALLY REPLACED ALL 16 LIFTERS, CAM, HEAD GASKETS AND OIL PUMP AS WELL. ONCE HE GOT IT TOGETHER, IT WAS STILL A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6. HE TOOK IT APART TO LOOK AT THE PISTONS, THEY WERE FINE. THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HE PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING BRAND NEW ON IT. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THE LIFTER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BLATANTLY TOLD ME, I NEED A NEW ENGINE OR COULD PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. STILL NO RESOLVE AS OF JUNE 23, 2020! PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AS SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO US THAT THEY DESIGNED THE ENGINE SO POORLY.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT...IRONICALLY, MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN TX TOO, BUT, I PURCHASED IT USED IN VA IN 2011 ODOMETER-73,625. TO DATE, I ONLY HAVE 101,225- I STARTED HAVING CONSTANT STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES RIGHT AFTER 100,000- CAUSED STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND LOSS OF POWER IN ADDITION TO DOOR LOCKS SUDDENLY LOCKING/UNLOCKING, CAR ALARM GOING OFF, AND HAZARD BLINKERS NOT WORKING (ALL WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC)! AFTER THIS CONSTANT ISSUE WAS "REPAIRED"-FOR 6TH TIME, A FEW MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AFTER WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE-I HAD TO PUSH GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BARELY REACHING 20MPH, THEN, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING & TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE BRAKES WERE BARELY WORKING. THANKFULLY, I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT & WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS TIME I THINK IT IS A BCM OR PCS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE "FLEX-FUEL" 4WD 2007 TAHOES ARE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE CONSTITUTE UNDER LEMON LAW. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE NOW-THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME, YET I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE & REGISTRATION. I'M SICK OF WASTING MONEY AS WELL. PLEASE HELP US (2007 TAHOE OWNERS), FIX THESE ISSUES! THANK YOU.
