Default 07 Tahoe Check Engine Light

Hello All,

I recently had the check engine light come up on my 07 Tahoe. After taking it to the Chevy dealership the service guy told me its the throttle body. Basically I need to pay about $200 plus to have the throttle body cleaned out. They call it a carbon flush. Has anyone experienced this problem before? I have about 55K miles on my Tahoe. And also sad to say its not covered by GMs warranty.

Let me hear your thoughts.

What were the codes? I would suspect they are doing a motorvac (fuel injection service) which includes cleaning the t-body?

Default warrenty

I'm fairly sure you have a 5 year 60,000 warrenty on that... i'd bitch up and down or call GM directly...

I don't want my tahoe to fail at 55,000.... my last one lasted 285,000 and this new one damn well better!

The 5/100 Powertrain warranty probably won't cover anything in the fuel system.

The powertrain warranty covers the engine, trans, transfer case and differentials and that is about it.
