2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Owner Complaints

[XXX], my Chevy Tahoe engine sized up with a warning light no oil pressure and the engine turned off. I was left stranded on [XXX] with no cell phone service and no OnStar. Good thing I had my SXS. I was able to travel to work at the mine site where I work and was able to get cellphone service. I called my wife and she contacted the dealership and they sent out a tow truck from Richfield, Utah. The dealership said that I will have to pay the tow bill that’s is around $900.00 dollars. And my wife asked about a loaned vehicle and the dealership said that they don’t have any loaners. The dealership called me about three days later and said that the engine had spun three connecting rods. The dealership said it would be two months before they could get a new engine and in the meantime I’m still making payments and I bought the truck for work and I’m left using my wife’s car. When I started doing research I was amazed that Chevrolet has known about this issue with their engines and have not issued a recall. This problem has been going unresolved since 2005 and they just keep selling engines knowing that they will fail. My truck has 17,000 miles on it. The warranty is up at 36,000 miles, so the engine is covered under warranty. But l am left a foot and at their mercy. Very frustrating!

I was driving on the interstate, when the vehicle went into neutral and I could not put it in the drive. I coasted over to the side of the road and then could not get the car out of park at that point. It was towed to the dealership, and I have been told that it has engine failure and needs a new engine.

I was approaching an intersection to make a left turn from a two-way highway with a posted speed limit of 65mph. Another vehicle had approached the same intersection in the other direction and stopped to make a left turn, so both vehicles were making left turns in opposite directions, but the vehicle opposite my vehicle had to stop because I was approaching and signaling to turn and another vehicle, towing a trailer, was following behind my vehicle. As I approached the intersection, I began to turn the wheel and my vehicle shutdown and stopped in the lane, causing the vehicle behind me to take evasive action to avoid colliding into the rear of my vehicle. I received an alert on my dashboard to start the engine, which I did, but it didn't accelerate. I received another alert on the dash to start the engine and to place it in drive. After performing the actions, the vehicle felt as though it had lost power and I slowly drifted off the side of the road where I shut the vehicle off and restarted it again without further issues. The issue has not been reproduced and the dealership I purchased the vehicle from could not confirm any known issues. The vehicle has not been inspected due to the dealership not having any insight into any known issues that may have caused the incident. No other warning lights were displayed prior to the incident.

Brakes system failure message on highway and couldn’t use brakes without standing on them. Once came to a stop in breakdown lane tow driver took us to closest Chevrolet dealer where we were told our vehicle was unsafe to drive and was basically a toboggan. If we weren’t in slow moving traffic we would’ve been in a serious accident. Dealer confirmed by running computer on car that the brake system motor stopped working and lost communication with power steering, transmission, central gateway, brake system control, and engine control. Waiting to see if this is a software issue or if brake motor needs to be replaced. Either way feels very unsafe to drive.

Fuel System Control Module went out abruptly and without warning resulting in the vehicle and occupant being stranded on highway. This was a brand new vehicle with only 320 miles on the odometer, and happened after only 6 days of ownership. The dangerous nature of above situation is self evident. Unexpected loss of power while in traffic is dangerous. Dealership replaced the module and confirmed it was the cause of the breakdown. No warning, no change in audible sound, or anything else prior to vehicle shutting down suddenly. The selling dealership replaced the module and confirmed

While driving at approximately 25-30 MPH the steering system locked up for a 2-3 second period not allowing the driver to maintain the desired direction of vehicle movement. The first incident occurred while navigating a turn in the road, the second occurred while turning left at an intersection. The vehicle has since been parked waiting on the dealership to get the vehicle in for diagnostic check to see if the problem can be determined. The occurrences were approximately 1 week apart. The risk is losing control of the vehicle for a short period of time, putting occupants of said vehicle at risk of being in an accident and potentially injured as well as putting other drivers on the road at risk. Vehicle is scheduled to go to dealership on May 7, however dealership is unable to provide a time frame of when they will be able to examine the vehicle. There were no warning indicators on the dashboard prior to the incident occurring nor were there any after the incident occurred.

Unknown but there was many lights on at the time of brake failure. I was driving home from Florida to NJ with my four young children in the vehicle on a 65mph highway when all these lights came on, the brakes completely stopped working and it told me it was reducing speed to 62mph for safety because the brakes were failed. It also stated service svc. By the grace of god I was able to off-road it a bit to get it to slow down to a stop. The second time it happened was in my driveway parked. Inbetween the two incidents I brought my vehicle for regular service and asked them to look at the brakes again for me as this is a major safety concern as well as my transmission slipping and they complete refused and only changed my oil.

Curtain airbags, and the airbag from the seat deployed but the steering wheel did NOT. My head hit the steering wheel as a result with injuries to my face. The airbag malfunction was confirmed by a mechanic.

My family and I were returning from vacation from Florida to our home state, North Carolina, when our new Tahoe with 5700 miles started to act strangely. We hit bad traffic leaving Florida so there was plenty of stop and go type maneuvers. At one point, the vehicle turned itself off and put itself in neutral while we were thankfully going a slower speed due to traffic. I was able to get off the shoulder near the [XXX] and restart the car. It ran fine after restart until it started making a clanging type noise from the engine bay. We stopped again and checked temperatures and fluids and the clanging stopped. About 30 minutes later the clanging and a guttural noise began to occur from the engine bay and the transmission would not shift, keeping the vehicle at/around 4,000 RPM at 60mph. We were able to get the vehicle to a nearby rest stop. My wife, 3 children, and I were put in harm’s way due to GM’s faulty product and poor quality control. To have your vehicle shut itself off and/or not shift, especially on the interstate, is incredibly dangerous to the occupants of the vehicle as well as the motoring public. It is important to note that the vehicle never displayed any warning lights of any kind before, during, or after the incidents described. Almost two weeks later, Chevrolet (Cooper Chevrolet S.C.) has not even diagnosed the vehicle. They have told be that they will more than likely have to tear the motor apart to figure out the issue(s), confirming that the problem has been replicated by their technicians. The Tahoe is equipped with a 6.2l V8, a motor with well documented issues. The Tahoe is currently located at Cooper Chevrolet in Walterboro North Carolina.

See attached document for complaint. We are writing to express our concerns regarding ongoing and unresolved issues with our 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country Deluxe Package, which we purchased on [XXX] from Titus-Will Chevrolet in Olympia, Washington. Our vehicle was ordered on [XXX] and delivered with 12 miles on the odometer [XXX]. The total purchase price was $97,889.61. This vehicle is equipped with a 6.2-liter Ecotec VB engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Since shortly after purchase, we have experienced intermittent audio output problems. With these problems, there is no audio for the radio, phone calls or mapping directions from any of the apps. Incoming phone calls do not connect and outgoing calls cannot be made. Despite multiple service visits-[XXX] as well as documented audio output issues my wife recorded and dated due to the fact that the dealership is 50 miles away: [XXX] We have also driven our vehicle into the Titus Will dealership service department twice when the audio output was not working so the service techs were able to see exactly what was not working-the issues are still unresolved even after updates from the service department and over the air updates that were to "FIX" the issues per GMC/Chevrolet. Our dealership has been unable to identify or correct the defect. Additionally, we received a Safety Recall Notice (N252494000) on May 20, 2025, concerning a potential loss of propulsion in the 6.2-liter engine, which may lead to catastrophic engine failure and increased risk of a crash or harm. We were surprised to learn that this recall was issued on April 24, 2025-prior to our purchase date-yet was not disclosed by the dealer at the time of sale, which also appears to be deceitful on GMC's part. We would not have accepted the vehicle knowing there were catastrophic engine problems as we travel the highways often visiting family in Idaho and Spokane as well as taking care of our elderly parents this last year with their medical care transports.
