Don’t buy Chevy Tahoes!
This is my 8th breakdown in less than two years - Friday was riding on the highway and the truck started malfunctioning- noises and pulling. I barely got back home. I drove 40 mph. This morning Chevy towed it to service department. Engine light on and all error messages: service ESC; traction issue; forward system collision unavailable. This truck was bought New in Nov 2021- and has broken down over seven times already. We need a class action suit!! They sold bad trucks to all of us! Truck note is $1,100 and doesn’t work !

Sorry about your luck. We like ours just fine. Things happen. That's why you have warranty.

Sorry to hear that. I’d try lemon in your case. My ‘22 Denali has 31k miles and outside of occasional software glitches which drained the battery once it’s been rock solid.

Who exactly is this "us" he's referring to? I've got better things to do but I wonder what a google image search would return on his dash pics?

returns a bunch of pictures of other similar dashboards. So the pics are probably legit.

Thank God for the warranty but it won’t save our lives when it malfunctions in traffic or the highway. Also can’t compensate the stress and missed work when it’s in the shop and we have to figure out how to get back and forth. $1,100 a month! It’s sad. Also the 2023 loaner wasn’t any better - I’m glad yours is good

Yeah man no doubt it sucks. But every car breaks down. Some are lucky some are not. Even corollas fail imagine the owners surprise.

Funny though....... I drove a brand new 2023 Colorado. Pulled badly to the right. The drivers window did not operate. The dash said the passengers door was not closed. It was. Midway thru the drive the dash went blank for about 1O seconds. Yikes......

We have this same problem on all our 2022 Tahoe PPV’s. Each one needed a new a camshaft, valves, rockers. Basically a rebuild. The dealer said it’s a known issue but GM won’t admit it. These all started when they hit around 20,000k miles.

I was successful in a lemon law from engine failure from bad oil change and air suspension failure. These vehicles are very prone to to engine issues especially with the 6.2 for some reason. Contact the BBB lemon law office and see if you qualify for your state, just beware it is a long process. I started it in May of 2023 and still in the process.

Everything is electronic and GM used many overseas suppliers with poor QC during covid. GM just doesn't make SUV/trucks like they used too. I think once my new Tahoe ages out I will only stick to Toyota/Lexus where they actually give you a good reliable product and don't treat you like crap at the dealers.

Sorry I own a Toyota and there no better for service. All I hear is no problem found or working as designed. ( Sound familiar?) I worked for dealers all my life and there all the same. Watch “The car nut” on youtube and you will find that Toyota is going in the wrong direction, and don’t get me starter with Hyundai and Nissan! I wish you good luck in the future and hope you can find a reliable vehicle. It really sticks what your going threw.
