“Driving my vehicle on the interstate at 70mph when the transmission made a hard downshift and brought my wife, two children, an infant and toddler, and I to a very sudden 40mph.Before I was able to find a shoulder to pull over the transmission fluid overheated and vehicle would no longer change gears. I then towed it to the dealership where purchased originally. Vehicle was then towed to and diagnosed at a Chevrolet dealership where ultimately resulted in a valve body and clutch failure.”
“Thursday XXX - Left [XXX] on our way to [XXX] for a beach vacation on our 2022 Chevy Tahoe z71. Made it to [XXX] and spent the night there Friday XXX - Left our hotel in [XXX] and headed to [XXX]. Expected arrival time 8 pm About 40 miles east of [XXX] our Tahoe shuts down and I pull to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. It’s 99 degrees. I called several dealerships around and decided on Ryan Chevrolet in [XXX]. I called a tow truck and wait for 3 hours. My wife and two kids walk 1 mile to a gas station. I call the XXXstate patrol to get them to park behind me as semis at 80 miles per hour are flying by me. Having semis pass by at 80 miles per hour is obviously very scary and extremely dangerous. Tow truck takes me and the Tahoe to Ryan Chevrolet and am able to drop the car there 30 minutes before they close for the weekend. Tow truck driver takes me to the XXX airport where I have managed to rent an SUV that will allow me to complete my vacation. Drive through the night and make it to my hotel in [XXX] at 2:30 am. Thursday XXX - Drive back to [XXX] Friday XXX Go to Enterprise Rental cars in [XXX], explain that I will need a car till my Tahoe gets…”
“I am reporting a transmission failure involving my 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71, VIN [XXX]. In XXX, while driving, my Tahoe became stuck in Drive and would not shift into Reverse. The transmission then completely failed and the vehicle could no longer be driven normally. I took the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealership, where the transmission failure was diagnosed and replacement was recommended. GM’s quoted replacement cost was very high, so I had the transmission replaced by an independent mechanic in [XXX] using a certified GM replacement transmission. I subsequently became aware of NHTSA recall 26V085 / GM N252536750 involving certain 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles with the 10-speed transmission. The recall involves a transmission control valve that may fail and cause loss of transmission function and, under certain circumstances, rear-wheel lockup. My Tahoe’s manufacturing date is XXX, so I understand it is outside the currently identified production range for this recall. However, my vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure with an inability to shift into Reverse. I am requesting that NHTSA review this failure to determine whether the original…”
“Vehicle began making loud knocking sound XXX Towed to dealer 9/8 after holiday. They found metal in the oil and believe it needs an engine replacement. A week later I have no answers, there's no loaners available, so I am just without a car. We bought car from Zimbrick Chevy in [XXX]. It was never disclosed to us that the vehicle had an engine replacement right before we purchased. New engine lasted about 16,000 miles. Only once we saw the history of the car in the current dealership's service app did we learn about the engine replacement. This is beyond unacceptable!”
“Had a engine failure at 93,000 miles and upon doing a vin report found out it also had a engine put it at 7,800 miles so it now has its third engine in it and also had the high pressure pump fail and the gauge cluster fail and had to be replaced”
“The transmission began slipping at 20, 25, 35, and 45 mph by the time we hit 80k miles. The vehicle was out of warranty. We were told it was unaffected by the recalls and not related to the issues affecting other drivers. It now has 167k miles and we have tried having the transmission flushed but it still slips and needs a new transmission. Chevy knows about these issues and refuses to replace their horrible product since they also sell the cure to the problem and make money off of it.”
