So did they fix the issue or did they isolate the incident
Lately a lot of Chevy dealers have been doing this lately
go to a private dealer NOT GM OR CHEVROLET all they know ABOUT THEIR OWN CARS is they crap out make you pay a quote and 200-300$ diagnosis just find a different mechanic that doesn’t put you in the whole with the 🍋 car
moral of the story
“Don’t buy Chevy”

Julia Garcia,
I'm sorry to hear of your frustration with your Tahoe. Has your dealer been able to duplicate this problem? Does the transmission only shift hard/lose power when the TC light is on? Do the warning lights stay on or do they come on intermittently? Have you had any aftermarket equipment added to the vehicle (i.e. different size wheels/tires, etc.)?
Could you please PM me your vehicle VIN number so I may research your vehicle further. I may be able to provide additional information.
I look forward to your reply.

Found a solution!
FIND A NEW MECHANIC PERIOD!
FIND A NEW MECHANIC PERIOD!
I purchased a 2014 GMC Yukon XL SLT.
96k miles on it. A week ago my wife was driving when all of a sudden she had a severe loss of power with the check engine light coming on along along with the stabilitrac light and traction control light. Mechanic said its showing an error code in cylinder 7. We took it to our local mechanic and we/they can not find the problem and I feel like we’re going down a rabbit hole. We have done the following trying to chase the problem:
- new spark plugs and wires
- new fuel injector on #7
- they tested the engine to make sure cylinder is working properly and engine pressure (all is good)
.....they said that the spark plug doesn’t look like it’s getting fuel (but it is sparking). They now feel that the problem leans towards electrical (wiring harness?). The mechanics said they need some time to review electrical diagrams to try and trace it back.
I’ve spent hours reading posts online and it seems like it’s a reoccurring problem.
Some things that have been recommended:
- ground wires (damaged or loose)
- check fuse tied to fuel injector
- air intake crack
- bad wiring harness
- mass air flow sensor
- injector receiving the right power, fuse?
- AFM lifter
- airflow sensor
- reset the PCM
- one of the banks on the air/o2 sensor
any thoughts?

stability trac
my traction control light and stability light came on, and than my engine light started flashing. I shut it off and on and still no change, and than my engine starting making ticking sounds, pretty mad, I should have stopped driving but I wanted to make the 7 miles home to have it parked in my yard. Is my system shot or do I now have an engine problem because I kept going or is my transfer case shot. Been reading manual but it just takes me to more problems. There is also 243,000 miles on my truck, so maybe it life expectancy is over.

Help....help.....help.....anyone how do we report these issues to someone that can get this expedited into a recall. I'm almost out of money and who has a vehicle and cant figure out whats wrong? I'm at my wits end with this 2007 chevy silverado

Every time I start my '07 Burban (even sitting at idle) the bell starts chiming and the triangle sign and the warning reads "service stabilitrak" then "traction control (off)" activates within a few seconds. This keeps going on and off as I am driving and when its in the off position the trans shifts gears very hard. Looking trough the "www.chevroletforum.com" site, I can see that this had been a problem in the past with 2003 and up, and there are many people talking about this issue with their trucks, but I have not come across anyone who can give the answer on how to resolve this problem. HELP!!!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Unless you can read the codes in all the 4 code ''families'' it's just a guess to any repair. Knowing what codes are stored can point to the repair or at least help make an educated guess. It's a computer with tires today.

100% agree
look for a good reliable mechanic w/tools of this sort. Because no doubt they are very necessary for repairing vehicles made in the last 15 years for sure.

I've had this happen a few times. Once was because the intake tube where it attaches to the throttle body was not on there secure enough. Another time it's because I accidentally unplugged one of the connections over the rear driver side shock when I replaced the shocks. The other time the Throttle Body needed to be replaced which apparently is a common problem with these 07-12 full size trucks.
