2017 Chevrolet Tahoe Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the camshaft. The contact was also informed that there was a misfire in cylinders #4 and #8. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

I purchased this Tahoe in 2021I believe. I have replaced the transmission in 2024 for this Z71 Tahoe and now the lifters are gone as well. In the process of going in the shop. I’m very upset. Tahoe’s cost too much for transmission, lifters to be going out and needing a new one installed. This is a major problem with Tahoe’s and I need some answers as to what can be done to help with this major issue. Who do I need to call or speak with to get this issue resolved. It’s a problem and no one wants to be accountable for making trash and selling it at high price for the consumer to pay for Chevrolet mistakes. Something must be done!!!

At 92,000 miles the lifters went out in vehicle. Repairs were done and replaced the gaskets, lifters and head bolts. After driving the vehicle another 12,000 miles lifters went out again. GM is aware of the issue and does not to take responsibility or make a recall on the issue. It’s a very known issue with the 5.3L engine in cylinder 1 to have a lifter failure.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STALLED OUT LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I BARELY MADE IT A MILE BACK HOME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE LIFTERS WERE BAD AND THAT THE CAM SHAFT ROD IS BENT. THIS IS A $60,000 VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND THEY ARE EXPECTING ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2017, I SIGNED A LEASE FOR A BRAND-NEW 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE LS AT ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET IN LAS VEGAS NV. THREE DAYS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE MAIN STREETS MY VEHICLE KEPT HESITATING AND JUMPING AS I WOULD HAVE TO STOP IN TRAFFIC THEN MOVE AGAIN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS. THEN AS I WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE STALLED THEN ALLOWED ME TO GO. THEN SUDDENLY MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE ONSTAR NOTIFICATION STATING THE DIAGNOSTIC DETECTED AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE AND MY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN MONDAY 07/17/17 MORNING AT 11 AM. THE SERVICE MAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE BRAND-NEW VEHICLES BY THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE HEAT IN LAS VEGAS, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR GENERAL MOTORS AND A LETTER WAS ISSUED DATED JUNE 30, 2017 THAT HE HAD TO PROVIDE TO ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. HE LET ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT. I ASKED WHY WAS THIS NOT DISCLOSE TO ME BEFORE LEASING ME THE VEHICLE IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO ALLOW ME THE CHOICE TO DECIDE IF THIS WAS SOMETHING I COULD TOLERATE. THE SALES REP NOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WERE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY, JULY 24ONCE HE RETURNS FROM VACATION. I LET THE SALES REP KNOW THAT I WAS UNHAPPY, I WAS DECEIVED AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE THE DATED COPY OF THE LETTER #PIP5507 STALLING - HESITATION, I HAVE THE FIRST DIAGNOSTIC EMAIL STATING THE VEHICLE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND I HAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC EMAIL FROM ON STAR STATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DEFECTS
