2008 Tahoe LTZ with nav, onstart, etc:
Shortly after purchasing our Tahoe with 38k on the odometer, we started noticing little annoying electrical gremlins. Service 4WD and Hood Open indicators would pop up every few weeks for no reason and then go away with restart. Oddest of all, there have been a few times where in the middle of the night in our garage, the alarm will go off for no reason.
Also, a few times when we started the Tahoe, the motor that lowers the liftgate would make a LOUD noise as if it was trying to close the rear liftgate that was already closed. It was loud enough that people in parking lots would turn around to see what was making the awful noise. Only happened a few times though.
After having the car a month we got the recall for the heated windshield washer fluid recall. The service manager told us that could affect other electrical systems and could be causing these annoyances. They fixed the recall, but all of the issues have occurred again. (The liftgate issue has NOT happened since the recall was fixed.) The alarm has only happened once since. The others are about once a month for service 4WD and once every other week for hood open. They always go away and often while driving they go away without having to restart. It's just annoying to haev a nice vehicle doing odd things like this.
Has anyone else had these issues?
Also, around 68 mph there's a quiet moan from the front end. It starts around 68 and goes away at 70mph. It's very quiet, but noticeable. Sounds like a bearing to me, but I'm wondering if it could be the brake rotors. The vehicle came from the great lakes area and does have a slight ring of rust around the front rotors so perhaps it's hitting a sweet spot at that speed and moaning. I would rather it be that than a front differential bearing. What do y'all think?
By the way, we LOVE this vehicle. These are all minor annoyances that prevent it from otherwise being perfect.
