2023 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

On several occasions while operating the vehicle during inclement weather the windshield wipers intermittently stopped working. Restarting the vehicle several times did not remedy the problem. Once the vehicle was parked for a while the wipers started working again. This vehicle has been to the dealership regarding this issue numerous times and sent back in service with a message from the technician, could not duplicate the complaint.

While traveling on [XXX] approximately 20 miles west of Rawlins WY the vehicle entered “limp mode” causing us to drive at an unsafe slow speed. The transmission caused a check engine light to activate which was confirmed by a service technician in Rawlins with a PO747 code show on his OBD2 scanner. The problem was confirmed by the servicing dealer in Lincoln NE. The transmission was inspected by the servicing dealer. They replaced the valve body and fasteners approximately 1 1/2 months later. The problem first occurred at the time of the incident and I had no prior warning. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On [XXX] we bought our 2023 Tahoe High Country from Jeff Gordon Cheverolet in Wilmington NC. In April 2025 a recall was announced on our car for engine failure. In June of 2025 we received a letter stating that a fix for the recall was to have an inspection done. If passed, then an oil change and new cap would be done. This was completed. on [XXX], I was on the highway accelerating to get up the speed, when I heard a loud pop noise. Then i heard loud knocking coming from my engine, the check engine light came on with the traction light as well. The car then had sluggish acceleration and would not accelerate but would have high than normal RPMS and rev when trying to accelerate. I knew then that I had engine failure. I was able to get the car to a safe place and called the dealership right away. They got it towed to Marine Chevy since it was closer. The next day they did an inspection on the vehicle and said the camshaft and lifters were broken and had to be replaced. I said I would need a new engine replaced due to the damage and recall. I was told it would not be under recall because it was the top and not bottom. They said the GM refused the new engine but would not tell me if it was the General Manager or General Motors that refused. I called and texted multiple times asking for pictures. They refused to send me any until 9/9 after multiple attempts. They only sent me one of the rods and rocker arms showing a rod bent and stated it was the lifters. still no pictures of the

When i asked Kunez Lake Geneva, Wi. When the engine recall would be taken care of. I was told that GMC has to order the recall first. Then when asking about the process of inspecting. They informed me they would listen to the motor and decide if it was effected or not. I paid $82k for this vehicle. I find that listening to the motor isnt a thorough way of inspection. After they deem the motor ok. There going to put higher viscosity oil & an oil cap. What if something happens in the future. Is my familys life safety not important? Summary General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain 2021 – 2024 model year Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, and Tahoe, and GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles equipped with the 6.2L V8 gas engine (RPO L87). The connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components in these vehicles may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure. Safety Risk If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the engine. Vehicles that pass inspection will be provided a higher viscosity oil, which will also require a new oil fill cap, an oil filter replacement, and an owner’s manual insert.

I purchased a brand-new 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. One of the key reasons for choosing this vehicle was its built-in safety and connectivity features, including the OnStar system. I also pay more than $50/month for an OnStar subscription, trusting that the service would provide essential safety functionality. Recently, the OnStar system in my vehicle stopped working. I received no warning, no service bulletin, and no notice from GM or OnStar of thhe failure or that this was a known issue. Upon diagnosis, I was informed that the OnStar module had failed and would need to be replaced—at a cost of $822 out of pocket. OnStar is a core safety feature that GM actively promotes as part of the vehicle’s value and security. For such a critical system to fail in a vehicle that is barely two years old is unacceptable. I believe this constitutes a product defect that GM/OnStar should be held accountable for, especially since multiple consumers are reporting similar issues on public forums. Most of all I had no indication in the vehicle of the failure; there was no check engine or issue light indicating a failure. When I called onstar the only explanation I got was that I should have noticed that the onstar light was out. That’s not sufficient for a safety item you expect to work like the breaks.

At a stoplight vehicle wanted to stall out Motor was shaking

Torque converter needed to be replaced, and then a week later still had the same shuttering and loss of power and the valve body needed to be replaced. Got it back and it still is shuddering and hard shifting.

I was driving down [XXX] in LaPuente and every light on my dash lit up and I attempted to Exit freeway and my brakes would not work so I waited for car to slow down and luckily I was near by the Puente hills Chevrolet dealer. Also my steering wheel was very lose and it felt that I couldn’t steer well. I pulled into dealership and had to push my brakes all the way to the floor board just for Tahoe to stop. Dealer said that there was various communication codes which they said vehicle would have to stay due to safety issues. My vehicle has been at dealer for 3 days so far INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle’s engine has been recalled since June. The dealer refused to inspect because there is no remedy to replace the engine. I have complained since I purchased the vehicle of noises that I’ve heard. I am hearing more noises, and I am increasingly getting more scared every day to drive my vehicle. I will not put myself nor my family in harms way I can get into an accident. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. I am not taking any chances of hurting anyone else or my family or potentially have a fatal accident. two months of driving around scared I will not drive my truck anymore. I am beyond upset that there is no remedy for this and that it is not taken seriously. Something needs to be done regarding my situation and all others. The vehicle was sold, most likely knowing that this was a problem. GM needs to make good on this problem before people get killed. I would like them to buy back my vehicle, I am sure I qualify for a full re-purchase. I called GM. They will get back to me in five business days. I cannot emphasize how afraid I am to drive my vehicle and I paid $110,000 for this vehicle.

Sudden engine failure while driving at high speeds - was not aware of any recall.

On multiple occasions my vehicle brakes with no warning. So much so I can hear the tires screech ever time. I brought to a dealership and they told me they can’t find the issue and no fault codes. This is understandable due to the fact that it doesn’t always happen. It’ll go so times a full day without happening. It mostly happens on the highway but happened today (24-July-2025) around 17:30. So needless to say this is a huge issue especially seeing I have three small children. Thank you so much for your time in this matter and I hope this finds you well.

Our 2023 3L diesel Tahoe had 63,000 miles on it and went into limp mode (CEL on) in late April 2025. We took it to the dealership and they diagnosed the valve body as the problem. We continued to drive it (as they mentioned it would be months before a replacement part would be in) while I did some research and discovered the magnitude of the problem. Just google it! Meanwhile, the rear wheels locked up on me after I had picked up our two children from daycare. It felt like we had a log chain hooked to our hitch that snapped us back - really hard! Felt like we had been rear-ended. This could have easily caused us to get in an accident, or worse, but thankfully we were not in heavy traffic. Our dealership was able to provide us a loaner truck. Approx. 50 days later, we were informed that we were approved for a new transmission - which was also on backorder! Almost 80 days later, our new transmission has arrived and been installed. We are very disappointed with how GM has handled the issue. We were lucky our dealer provided a loaner, as many have not. There are after-market providers who clearly state the upgrades they've made to the valves bodies, and while GM says they've upgraded the ones they make now, they won't share any details. I'm aware of this same limp mode/rear wheel lock up happening multiple times (on the same vehicle) to people in very low-mileage vehicles (less than 1000 miles). This isn't a small problem, and GM knows it. We will see how far we get with this "ne

Engine light came on. Flagged for a bad transmission valve body. Informed by dealership that the piece is on backorder and has been on back order for months.

Automatic life gate often closes when not wanting it to such as when loading from rear and reaching into vehicle foot comes near sensor or sitting with dog on rear bumper with gate open and dog passes near sensor these incidents have happened way to many timers

Transmission issue. Vehicle has the Duramax Diesel with 10-speed transmission. I am aware of issues with earlier year/s transmissions. I have experienced shuddering, jerking, a SINGLE momentary rear axle lockup. Jerky engagement from drive to reverse and or back. Reduced Acceleration warning on display. Check engine light comes and goes. Waiting for dealer to further inspect, drain fluid, etc. It appears from the VIN check that this vehicle had some metal work/paint prior to delivery to selling dealer, paint does not match. The transmission issue at 15,000 miles is just plain scary and not what one expects. That this vehicle sold as a 2023 has same issues as earlier model years makes me wonder if this is in fact a late 2022 model with the known defective transmission valve body? Any help appreciated.

Engine connecting rods and crankshaft have manufacture defects that could cause engine failure resulting in a crash. Driving in a large city with an infant and toddler makes the possibility of sudden engine failure extremely dangerous. It puts everyone in the vehicle at risk but especially the children at a huge safety risk. Engine makes odd sound but multiple Chevy dealerships say they won't look at it because they don't have an answer from GM.

While traveling on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost all power. The gas pedal became unresponsive, and the engine ceased functioning entirely—without any prior warning or indicators. I was forced to coast into a nearby parking lot to prevent a potential collision. This incident put both myself and my child at serious risk of injury or worse, had it occurred at a higher speed or in heavier traffic. Once stopped, the vehicle would not restart. I had no choice but to have it towed to the dealership for evaluation. A week later, the dealership diagnosed the issue as a locked-up engine, confirming that a full engine replacement is necessary. Unfortunately, the replacement engine is currently on backorder, and they are unable to provide an estimated time of arrival. To make matters worse, the dealership has no loaner vehicles available for at least a month. GM only offers a rental reimbursement of $44 per day, which is significantly below the cost of even a basic rental vehicle in our area ($74/day). This leaves me with limited transportation options, even though I am currently making monthly payments of over $1,400 on a vehicle that is completely unusable. Adding to the severity of this situation, the vehicle is also subject to a manufacturer recall, but no remedy or parts are currently available to resolve the issue. As a parent of multiple children, this entire experience has left me shaken. I cannot begin to imagine the consequences had this failure happened at a higher sp

I noticed the gears of my Tahoe grinding when I would let off of the gas pedal. Eventually my check engine line came on. I brought it to my Chevy dealership. Upon inspection, I was told that my transmission valve body was bad and that I needed a new one. I was then told that my truck was ok to drive. I drove it for roughly another month until the check engine light came on again, and I heard the same sounds (I was able to catch it on video). This time, my truck would not want to accelerate past about 1.5 RPMs. I brought it back to the Chevy dealership which is where my truck is today. In hindsight, I believe I should not have been allowed to continue to drive my truck with a bad transmission part.

The sounds from the radio works only 10% of the time, the radio sound also is what produces the turn signal blinking sound. Additionally there is a scratching noise coming from the speakers almost like a bad signal from the tuner. This is very distracting and a safety concern, especially when the turn signal does not audible make a sound. When I call Chevy they say it will be $300 to diagnose, and if you look online this is a known issue amongst newer model Chevy.

Breaks keep making noises and all four tires need to be forced balanced dealership won’t fix the issues

Unusual knocking noises, performance issues, high RPM, - Traction control light is on Feels at times the engine is on verge of losing power while I'm driving on the highway with my children and I could get hit check engine light blinking constantly

Feels like the transmission is slipping. When I step on the gas it makes a jerking/ tugging motion like its pulling backwards and feels as though it has no power. It’s gotten progressively worse now over 10k miles and I should not have any engine problems with a new car. This happens every time I drive it. The problem is not fixing itself it’s getting worse by the day.

I took my car into the Fowler Chevrolet (AKA Century Chevrolet) Dealership in Broomfield, Colorado to get the engine recall addressed for my 2023 Chevy Tahoe-RST. I was told GM doesn't have a solution and has not sent any parts to the dealerships to deal with the recall. This is a significant safety issue/concern since I drive my [XXX] daughter every day in this vehicle. How is an OEM like GM allowed to get away with not having an immediate fix available to such a significant safety issue where an engine just fails and could fail without any warning lights on a highway. Extremely dangerous and nerve racking to drive this vehicle knowing there is this safety recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

My 2023 Tahoe with 76,000 miles went into limp mode and activated an engine light. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and had the code P0747 which is pressure control solenoid A is stuck on. The dealership technician is recommending a valve body replacement to repair this problem. This is a known problem by General Motors and has extended it to the 2022 models only. This is a safety concern that is causing rough irregular shifting, and a engine light to occur.

Engine performance issues, engine hesitation, abnormal shifting, and reduced propulsion. Interior dash and radio illumination goes black. Blinkers fail to work; no sound comes from the radio and speakers. Mirrors fail to tuck after command given to do so.

While driving in a rainstorm on a highway at 70mph, the windshield wipers quit working and would not restart. This has happened on multiple occasions and the dealer could not recreate the issue. Visibility was virtually zero, creating a very unsafe situation. The condition corrected itself after multiple ignition cycles and several minutes being pulled over on the side of the highway.

Vehicle down shifted hard and dash board lit up. Wouldn’t shift any higher than 4th or 5th gear. Fortunately we were only going about 35mph. If we would have been on the interstate as we had been the 2 previous days on our trip to Florida it could have been deadly. Brought the Tahoe to Ron Anderson GMC Chevrolet in Yulee, Florida on 3/18/25. The transmission valve body is the problem. As of today 4/11/25 we haven’t heard another word and returned home to Michigan 3 weeks ago.

I filled my car up with gas and turned it on and it started shaking. Several warnings popped up on the dashboard screen including, Service ESC, Service traction control, And forward collision system unavailable. My cruise control was disabled I had to hold my foot at an angle to keep the speed at 45-50 mph, Causing it to take 10 hours for me to get home from Austin to Dallas. The check engine light was on the entire time and flashed for the last hour to hour and a half.

So I bought a battery and brought it to them. They replaced the Next morning And told me there were no codes showing up so There was nothing wrong with my car and it was a fluke. Exactly one week later the same thing happened to my car. I called the dealership and they Hao it toewd to the service dept. After I repeatedly called them to check on the status of my car, they told me it was the fuel injector #1. They then were able to apply for a loaner car for me as I am a hospice nurse. These are same exact issues that the GM 6.2 L engines are having with the recall they just announced. I have a 5.3 L engine.

First was engine shutoff while driving up a windy highway. No warning just shutoff. Second time was catastrophic engine failure. Was told by dealership lower end issue and will require entire motor replacement.

The vehicle’s transmission began slipping at low speeds with less than 40000 miles. I took it to the dealership for diagnostic testing and the requested that I do “maintenance transmission fluid replacement” as well as some additional reprogramming which the dealer also deemed as maintenance. However, the required transmission fluid replacement was not required until 45000 miles and the reprogramming is not listed anywhere in the maintenance plan.

While driving and accelerating the transmission malfunctions and wont shift so as I try to accelerate the car stops accelerating and just goes very slow. This put us at risk as cars were coming fast behind us. The problem happened 3 times before taking it to the dealership where they knew exactly what the problem was because it has happened to so many others. The warning light that came on was the engine light and a message that read "Reduced Acceleration Drive with Care"
