2022 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights were intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local Auto Zone where it was diagnosed with an ABS - U1006 (Loss of Communication). The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was repaired under Customer Satisfaction Program: N242435631; however, the vehicle was left for further investigation and further repairs. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Engine stopped working while on the freeway going 60 mph. Unable to start vehicle once it died.

I was driving the truck on the highway and on slower roads. The trucks auto break kept coming on, it could have caused an accident or worse to my family in the truck and others around us driving. This happened twice before but only did it once. Last night it happened to us around 15 times. We had to get off the roads for everyone’s safety. We haven’t had it inspected yet because it just happened. No lights or warning messages showed up at the time. The check engine light came on at the end of all that tho. When I got out of the truck I could smell the burning of the breaks or tires.

The check engine light illuminated cause us to park the vehicle until diagnosed. The diagnosis is the Onstar system has failed causing the check engine light to illuminate. Even without paying the fee for onstar the light still illuminates rendering the vehicle “disabled” under Indiana clean air requirements. They will not run the required emissions test to certify or plate your car with a check engine light on. The dealer stated the vehicle can still be driven however we will no longer know if there are ancillary issues because the check engine light goes on and off. Ironically this happened two months after a software recall performed by the dealer. If the vehicle is safe to drive with an onstar failure there should be no reason the check engine light illuminates taking attention away from more serious potential issues.

ENGINE QUIT RUNNING UNEXPECTEDLY, WITHOUT WARNING, AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ABOUT 30 MINUTES FROM OUR HOME. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT FACED DIFFICULTY IN GETTING THE VEHICLE ON THE TOW TRUCK. NO POWER SO ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. PLUS THE REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. WE DID GET FINALLY GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED US THAT THE ENGINE HAD SIEZED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW ENGINE. SUSPECTED MAIN BEARING FAILURE. I HAVE READ THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ENGINE, GM L87 6.2L V8. SINCE OUR VEHICLE HAS 75000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY WE ARE FACING REPAIR CHARGES OF UP TO $15000 TO $20000. WE COULD USE A LITTLE JUSTICE. THANK YOU.

[XXX]. We dropped our vehicle off at Chevrolet on old Seward after our engine seized while on the highway. We had to exit the highway with our five children inside. We had it towed to Chevrolet for them to fix in which the car was finally ready for pick up [XXX]. Not to mention when GM sent the tow truck, it couldn’t even tow our vehicle. They had to order another tow truck because the manual override for the parking break wouldn’t release so I had to sit in the feeezing cold WITH MY KIDS for over an hour. #3 MAIN CAP SEIZED CAUSING ENGINE TO NOT TURN OVER AND ROD SEIZED AS WELL. The issue required a complete engine replacement. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Motor Locked up under 30,000 Miles 6.2 Engine.. March 4th will be a month waiting on a new engine this doesn’t include holidays or weekends and still no sight of a new motor. Driving the highway and vehicle went into basically a limp mode and wouldn’t go anywhere.. Pulled off the side of the highway and turned vehicle off and wouldn’t turn back on

Driving on interstate (I55 - traveling South bound, Bridge over water) traveling at 70 MPH engine started to make loud noise and car was shuttering. We were able to take the immediate next exit. After taking the exit, within minute or two, the car/engine shut off with no way of restarting or steering. The engine did start to smoke when the hood was popped to inspect. Tow truck was called to transport us to the local Chevy dealer in Hammond LA - Ross Downing Chevrolet. Since it was a Saturday, we had to wait for the dealership to reopen on Monday. On Monday, I was called and told that there was indeed complete engine failure, and later in the day it was determined that it was due to a rod bearing issue. GM was contacted since I was 3,000 miles outside of my warranty, and the agreed to cover roughly $17,000 of the repair to completely replace the engine. I was out of pocket $3,227.56. All oil changes and maintenance were on time and kept up with. Just had an oil change roughly a week earlier before the engine failure. There were no lights that came on the dashboard even after the vehicle completely failed.
