When I saw Tim D's post, and never hearing about that problem before, I looked for info on it. There's tons of info, but I couldn't tell if it ended in 2007 or not, seemed like most of the problems were before that. It's documented as a plastic retainer clip breaking and causing the pump to rotate slightly and eat a hole in the case. The fix is a metal clip installed in the case to keep the pump from moving.
Not that I plan to stay away from GM, just thought I'd mention the problem really exists. |

Well, hoping my new found knowledge of this potential issue won't prove to be a jinx  My well used 2001, and brother's well used 2004 have not experienced this issue. Knock wood.BKH |

I can't believe you pulled your transfer case and made that fake video all to try to prove your point.

Uh Huh. Don't think I said your claim was not true. I said avoiding GMs because of this potential issue, is Bull. Toyota has experienced many well documented issues including accellerators that stick, airbag issues, and steering cable issues. Those apparently did not keep you from buying Toyota, and would not prevent me from doing so either. Neighbor has a Sequoia with over 150K, which has been relatively trouble free. Has less room than my Yukon XL, and gets worse gas mileage. He knows that and will probably buy another Toyota anyway. Whatever works. BKH |

New 2015 Tahoes look nice 2015 Tahoe. I might prefer the outgoing LTZ more in the looks department. Definitely worth taking a gander at GM when the time comes.

Yeah, the area behind the 3rd row on the Sequoia is pretty much useless.

I agree that the outgoing LTZ looks better at this point, but I'm sure I could/will get used to the 2015. The improvements for the 2015 model would make me hold out for a 2015. Quieter, smoother ride with better fuel economy and fold-flat third row seats make the difference for me. |

I own a 2007 Tahoe LT 4x4..... Great towing, comfort, ride except for one thing.........
Transmission has been replaced twice ( under warranty ). Transfer Case went out last summer on my way back from Lake Pillsbury with 3 kids, dog and wife 2 hours from home. Got stranded in Ukiah and had to leave my truck and boat at the dealer for 2 weeks to get it replaced. had 90k miles, but failed after 5 year warranty, so GM would not cover it ( I did file a claim and it took them 3 months to say no ). $2,100.00 out of my pocket for a part that GM has TSB's out to fix. I'm over it now..... haha |

They told me the main shaft broke, but I'm not sure I believe the story.

Wow, that would surprise me as well. Or, maybe the case failed as discussed here, the oil drained out, which caused it to seize and break the shaft. I guess no way to know now! |
