This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

Car got stuck between gears while driving on the road. The vehicle accelerated by itself almost causing me to crash. I immediately pulled over into a business and put the truck in park. The car stayed on. It turned on and off but would not shift gears. Would not go from park to reverse or drive. And unfortunately the “warranty” only cover 60k miles. Conveniently right before this well known issue goes out. The main issue was Pressure Control Solenoid C Stuck On. This issue is an issue many people are having and since it is a drivetrain issue this can affect many lives while on the road.
I had the car in for a message (service transmission now will not be able to shift soon). They told me there was nothing wrong with my transmission it was a parking brake sensor issue. They ordered me a new sensor and never called to tell me it was in. I followed up and they said they had the part and I could come in whenever. They said it was not a safety issue and would be a quick fix. I had an appt today and to my surprise when I went to drive to the appt my car will not let me shift out of park with a new message (service transmission, unable to shift). I am now waiting for the car to be towed. This car has had nothing but issues including the back-up camera not working properly for 2 years. These are all serious safety concerns that Chevy/GM has not properly handled.
Driving at 75mph upgrade westbound out of Denver, Co. Engine failed, shut down at speed, had to emergency move to right shoulder through 3 lanes of traffic. The last 10 mph it locked wheels to a screeching halt. Towed to Foundation Chevrolet. Confirmed engine failed, needs replacement. Every service done on regular basis by same dealer. Had "recall" band aid performed a couple months ago, where they changed oil vicosity and did inspection.
I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING AN ACCIDENT INVOLVINGMY 2022 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, THE REAR WHEELS SUDDENLY LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASH INTO A WAL. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS NOTIFIED ON 02/13/2026 ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THE RECALL STATUS (REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE) WITH RECALL NUMBER N252536750 STOP DELIVERY- REAR WHEEL LOCKUP. THEN ON 03/12/2026 I RECIEVED AN EMAIL STATING THE RECALL STAUTUS (REMEDY AVAILABLE). ALSO, ON 03/15/2026 I RECIEVED ANOTHER EMAIL WITH A RECALL STATUS (REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE) WITH RECALL NUMBER N252536750 STOP DELIVERY- REAR WHEEL LOCKUP. I HAVE SINCE THEN BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT POSSIBLY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION CONTROL VALVE ISSUE. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT FAILURE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, I BELIEVE THE DEFECT DIRECTLY CAUSE THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND RESULTING CRASH. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS INCIDENT BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT GENERAL MOTORS REVIEW RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES RELATED TO THIS DEFECT.
Driving down the freeway and it began raining. The wipers worked and then they just stopped working and it was pouring in the rain. I had to pull over because I couldn’t see. This has happened two other times. In having my vehicle inspected it showed no problem with the switch or wiper motor. The infotainment system also frequently locks up and restarts even after the recall was fixed.
I had the recall for the Momentary Rear Wheel Lock-up completed on 2025-05-04. While I was driving March 2026 my Tahoe went into limp mode and I had to have it towed because it wouldn’t reverse it was towed a day after this happened to Lynch Chevrolet. It has sat there ever since with no fix in site. I had to get a rental vehicle that GM is paying for but they have stipulations to what they pay for and the vehicle they gave is not comparable or better than MY car. Not only is this an inconvenience but they are doing the bare minimum to help with their mistakes.
The vehicle shifted itself into neutral and shut off while driving. It happened twice in three days. The first time I was pulling into the driveway so I was able to put it in park and restart the car safely. The second time I was in the middle of traffic in Tampa and it shifted into neutral and shut off in the middle of the road. Luckily no cars hit me but again I had to apply the break , restart the car and put it back in drive. This was very scary and I had my kids with me. Earlier in the day I had been driving on 75 and if it had happened then it could have been a bad wreck. It shows there are no current recalls on my vehicle. No warning lights or messages appeared. Vehicle was purchased less than 30 days ago. I will contact the dealership to verify there are no open recalls just in case but again when I checked I found none.
Had issues transitioning to reverse, drove vehicle to the dealership. While driving on a busy road vehicle went into limp mode and had to pull over. Vehicle needed to be towed to the dealership. Dealership was able to verify vehicle was unable to reverse. They also found P0700 and P0776 error codes. They also used service bulletin 22-NA-258. We had not noticed excessively harsh shifting prior to this event. Had to replace components in the valve body
The contact's wife owns a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50-60 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The driver pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that unknown engine valves had collapsed, and there was possible camshaft damage. The contact was advised that further diagnostic tests were required. The dealer informed the contact that a recall should be issued for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was referred to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
Driving down I495 in Mass when engine stopped with no warning or prior symptoms. My wife and 4 children (including 2 friends of our kids) were in the car. Luckily we were able to safely pull to the shoulder after coasting through a construction zone. If we hadn’t made it to a safe piece of shoulder chances are high that another vehicle would have hit our vehicle and hurt and killed us. These 6.2 engines are a serious safety hazard and I only hope my new engine proves to be reliable. Car was towed to dealer who diagnosed it as a seized motor. Car is a 2022 Chevy Tahoe with the problematic 6.2 engine. Engine had passed Chevrolet’s Pico test as per the 6.2 recall about 7,000 miles before it seized. Vehicle and engine dealer maintained with all required changes/maintenance. Engine seized/failed with no warning.
I took the vehicle in for the engine recall. They put in the higher viscosity oil. Shortly thereafter the engine failed. They are trying to claim it's not related to the recall issue.
The vehicle has service driver assistance system warning. The seat vibration is not working and I believe there are issues with the sensor and or harness. There have been recalls on previous years of this vehicle for the same thing. There have been a wave of these lately, according to the dealership working on the vehicle. Parts availability is currently low because of this resulting in longer repair times. This is a key safety feature of the vehicle and must be repaired quickly. Unsuspecting users may expect warnings before collisions that may not happen.
My Tahoe died on a busy bridge in Moore OK during rush hour traffic. Got a ticket for impending traffic. Had to get car towed. Tahoe is still in shop. I have a rental….GM trax. My car is in the shop indefinitely. I’m requesting a rental car of equal value to what my Tahoe was. Please make contact with the appropriate Hertz company as we will have bad weather in 2 days.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the contact became aware that the driver's side rearview mirror was pointing upwards or downwards, reducing the driver's ability to see the roadway. The driver's side rearview mirror had been making unintended movements while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.
Vehicle continues to experience flashing air bag light and service self-restraint system warning. Brought in twice in 2025 for self-restraint system but dealer refuses to cover under warranty. On December 18, 2025, experienced complete power and electrical failure while in transit on a turning lane. The vehicle was unable to start, or open any windows, and the transmission would not shift back into park or neutral while obstructing traffic near an active railroad. Vehicle battery was replaced and was able to safely put vehicle into gear. Vehicle battery replacement allowed for normal driving; however, from that date on the transmission started shifting harder and jerkier. On December 31, 2025, vehicle was being driven on the freeway to then experience difficult shifting and reduced power. Subsequently, the drive indicator began flashing red and a service transmission indication appeared. There has been at least three instances, since vehicle purchased, where sudden loss of power and control of the vehicle in motion has occured.
On two occasions my car shut down after hard braking while approaching stopped traffic on a freeway. The Chevy dealer has not been able to locate a cause. In both cases I was in the travel lanes when the vehicle shut down and fortunately I was not struck from the rear. It took me time to recognize that the car was dead, place it into Park, then recrank it.
Unknown.
Car went to limp mode, hard shifting very suddenly. Transmission system failed. No reverse. Computer codes p0700 p0777 p18A1 inspected at Chevy service center and needs valve body replacement. No warnings, lights, alerts, hard shifts previously.
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my absolute shock, extreme frustration, and profound distress regarding the catastrophic and recurring failures of the BRAND NEW $86,626.50 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe RST we purchased from Community Chevrolet (200 W Olive Ave, Burbank, CA 91502). We did not purchase a used, low-budget vehicle; we invested a life-altering sum of EIGHTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS in what we expected to be a safe, reliable family SUV. Instead, we have received a death trap that the dealership refuses to fix permanently. This vehicle is fundamentally unsafe to operate. We have brought it to your dealership four (4) times for the same critical safety issues, and each time, we receive the same insulting explanation: a "software update" or "recalibration." These are not fixes; they are negligent bandaids designed to clear error codes long enough for us to drive off the lot. We are experiencing terrifying, random SYSTEM FAILURES while driving: "Service ESC" warning "Forward Collision System Unavailable" "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62MPH TOP SPEED" Let me be unequivocally clear: the braking system has failed twice while my wife and three young children were inside the vehicle, nearly resulting in fatal collisions on the freeway and city streets. This is not an inconvenience; this is a life-threatening defect that you have failed to remedy. The negligence displayed by returning this vehicle to us in an unsafe condition is staggering. The financial and personal toll is immense and completely unacceptable: We have paid for tow trucks three times. We have missed work, leading to a formal warning for my wife's employment. We have incurred costs for rental vehicles and arranging essential transportation for medical appointments and school runs. For $86,000, I expect a vehicle that adheres to basic safety guidelines, not one that endangers my family and others on the road. The vehicle had approximately 56,000 miles when these critical issues became severe, yet it is
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and the message "Reduced Acceleration - Drive Safety Mode - Drive with Care" was displayed. The vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 45 MPH and failed to accelerate properly. Additionally, the brake lights failed to illuminate, and the engine fan was abnormally loud while driving. The contact was able to drive to the destination and turn off the vehicle. After restarting the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to O'Reilly Auto Parts, where DTC: P1098 for the coolant control valve (CCV) assembly was retrieved. The contact stated that a burning odor was outside the vehicle after the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, but no diagnostic trouble codes were retrieved since the code was cleared by O'Reilly Auto Parts. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: N252508341 (Engine); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was advised to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
