Update: Brand new Tahoe left me broke down in heavy traffic

[Sean Michael]

Bought a 2024 Tahoe RST with sport performance package just last week. At only 320 miles on the odometer it died at the intersection of a service road and busy thoroughfare causing quite the backup. The dash told me to restart, but it mostly just cranked and made a slight effort to turn over before immediate dieing again, as in not even a full revolution, at least from what I could tell listening to it. It has the 6.2 so I wonder if it's the dreaded bearing issue. Only 320 miles, is this going to be the quickest break down in forum history?

UPDATE: My Tahoe left me stranded on Wednesday and I just picked it up again from the dealership today (Friday). It was the fuel pump module. Seems to be running fine now and I'm relieved it wasn't the main bearing or lifters. It shakes my confidence somewhat to have an issue like that on a brand new vehicle, but at only 320 miles I'm thinking it must have been a bad module from the factory. Anyone else ever experience similar?

I'd say you are the current golf score winner on this topic if it is bearing related. What a total bummer....

He could be winner for any breakdown by mileage. Wasn't there a member who never left the dealer lot?

I'd be real upset!

As I mentioned in my update, the fuel pump module was replaced and the truck is running, but I did get a flashing check engine light yesterday. So much to go wrong on a vehicle that hasn't even hit 400 miles yet.

My dad's 2023 Tahoe just had a fuel pump go out. Our 2023 Tahoe was delivered without a functioning AC, and we have had to had two compressors replaced before 7k miles. At 8400K miles we had a fuel injector on cylinder 1. Waiting for the others to go! Right now it's in the shop for over a week because the "Computer" thinks it is a 2022 Chevy van and I started to see "signs" of something going wrong on the dash system. They are waiting for a part and have to take the whole dash out. We are at 20k miles right now. I did buy the extended warranty when we bought it but wondering what other crazy thing is going to go wrong before the manufacturer warranty expires. Oh this would all be less funny without adding....the dealership had to paint the front bumper cause they messed scratched it somehow during one of its long stays....and this time they gave us a rental from Hertz, a Chevy Traverse that stopped running and had to be towed so then Hertz gave us a Ford Expedition....

Oh I forgot how they had to blow out the heater core cause I had a noise that sounded like a gerbil going around a wheel.... it's been so disappointing. And my dad's has had more issues than ours. His mainly electrical.

Recently traded in my 2015 Yukon Denali 6.2 L for a 2024 Grand Cherokee Summit ( $70k) Yukon engine failed at 2k ( valve spring broke!) And 48k (lifters failed!). At 78k A/C Compressor failed too....

At 80K miles, they gave me $23k trade in. Looked and ran great!

I love the air suspension and reliability of simple strong V-6 w 300HP.......

But now a near crash showed me none of my Collisions Mitigation system works!! I proved it to Dealer by run ing around his Lot with him in car, aimed straight other cars and rind corners of buildings. No Red warning lights. No braking. Nothing! Only my swerving at last second avoided a crash!
He said Computer and settings check out fine. I filed complaint w Jeep. They had Engineer call Dealer to discuss. No progress. "All is fine"....

I filmed myself barreling towards obstacles in my driveway. Zero warning.
( you must swerve at last second cause they say touching brakes negates the Mitigation system from engaging) No response yet. My Yukon system
worked great!

I called Lemon Law Atty this morn.... Only 1500 miles on it. I otherwise love the ride..... damn shame.

It's only been a few days, but I haven't seen the check engine light flash again. Dealership said if it happens again to bring it in, and that it could have been related to the truck learning the new fuel pump. The truck is now at 415 miles on the odometer, so fingers crossed that early hiccup with the fuel pump is the only problem for the foreseeable future. This is my 3rd Tahoe and the prior two I owned were exceptionally reliable, so I'm going to remain optimistic, even though the stories being shared here do chip away at my enthusiasm.

I really hope it's good from here on because this is my first Tahoe over the LT trim, first with the 6.2 (prior two were 5.3), and my first vehicle with Magnaride. It rides so much nicer than my previous Tahoes, the 6.2 puts a big smile on my face everytime I drive, the factory dual-quad active exhaust sounds incredible compared to my prior Tahoes, I find myself giving it a little throttle just to hear it, and the pictures of the RST interior online don't do it justice, it looks great in person with the red stitching, textured seat bolsters with piping, and the grey patterned trim instead of faux wood. Except for the whole left me stranded at 320 miles ordeal, I'm loving this vehicle so far.

Good luck with a Stellantis product. Run away from that as fast as you can!
