2021 - Loud/clunking noise when opening a door

[dpoyt]

My 2021 Tahoe makes very loud/clicking noise when I open a door. Doesn’t happen every time. Does anyone know what this could be?

Not a clue…mine doesn’t do that.

Could be an issue with the hinge or door latch. If it’s not very lubricated, might want to give it a little lubricant and see if the issue goes away.

Do you have the power retractable door steps?

Noise is coming from the dash.

I don’t have retractable door steps. I’ll try to post a video.

My new 2022 Yukon makes a bunch of clacking clicking noise "after" exiting the vehicle and not right away but a couple of minutes later, it appears to be coming from the dash or lower in the dash area. Have not figured out what that is either. I also hear a buzzing noise when opening or closing any door and assume that is from the electric fuel pump thinking it is going to be started soon?

sound like blend doors actuating

I recall seeing in the manual(p. 218) that it is normal during break in and part of the electrical systems adjusting. It mentions it is a one time thing, however, I have noticed it as well quiet a few times.

All that is normal. I think that clicking sound after you shut it off is a self check of something.

I was wondering the same thing. It makes some funny noises when I get near the vehicle before starting it and it all makes several funny sounds a minute or two after shutting it off.

That noise when approaching is the fuel pump priming itself…same noise you’d here on a vehicle with an ignition key when turning it to the run position before starting it.

I’m not sure why these do that. Seems like a waste of battery power to me if I’m just going out to grab something from it. I believe there’s also a sensor in the key fob which triggers it when you get close before hitting the unlock button.

THAT is completely normal... My 2021 makes all of those same noises as I come close to it and when I turn it off. Some of it is covered in the manual.
