Vehicle accelerating on its own. It is not in cruise control mode. Accelerating without any pressure on the pedal. Engine revs when in park. Really jerky when coming to a stop

The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 45 MPH, the brakes failed to engage while depressing the brake pedal. The contact's wife pulled into a parking lot, shut off the vehicle, and allowed the vehicle to coast in the parking lot until the vehicle came to a complete stop. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 4,873.

At approximately 4,200 miles, the engine on my 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country equipped with the 6.2L V8 suddenly shut off while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light. There were no warning lights, messages, unusual noises, or other symptoms prior to the failure. The vehicle would not restart and had to be towed to an authorized Chevrolet dealership. The dealership initially suspected a camshaft/lifter or related engine issue and performed diagnostic and mechanical testing. The dealer also opened a case with General Motors. GM subsequently directed the dealership to perform an ECM software update. After the update, the engine started and the vehicle appeared to operate normally. As part of the dealer's post-repair testing, a dealership employee drove the vehicle to confirm the issue was resolved. After approximately 7–10 miles, the vehicle suffered another engine failure while being driven and again became inoperable. The problem was therefore reproduced and confirmed by the Chevrolet dealership. Following the second failure, GM authorized replacement of the complete engine. The dealership has received a brand-new replacement engine and is replacing the engine and radiator. The original engine/component is currently at the dealership and may be available for inspection. I consider this a serious safety concern because the engine failed without warning while the vehicle was in use. Had the initial failure occurred while traveling at highway speed or in heavy traffic rat

While driving the vehicle at highway speeds the vehicle starts to lurch or randomly lose power. Eventually, within a few minutes, the lurching gets worse and the check engine light starts flashing. In a GM vehicle, a flashing check engine light is critical engine failure. After pulling the vehicle to the side of the road, the check engine light stops flashing and stays on constantly. After about 10-15 minutes, the check engine light turns off completely. The GM dealership can read the history and says it's P0300 error code for General Engine Misfire in cylinder #6. GM warranty refuses to fix anything because the light isn't on when the car comes into the dealership. The car has been to two different dealerships, with both of them telling me it has the same error code. GM customer service told me without the check engine light being on when the vehicle is brought into the dealership, they would not be able to help me. This is being told to me even though everyone agrees that the check engine light has been on. I was told by GM to continue to drive the vehicle. It has been into the shop 4 times since January for the same issue. This is not safe as the engine has suffered a critical issue. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle. My GM Customer Service case is 110460594.

Driving on the interstate and vehicle started slowing down then abruptly stopped. We were able to get onto the shoulder of the road. The gear would not stay in drive mode continuing to slip out of drive and into park. We made it to a dealership in Knoxville tn where we had to leave it..

Engine started "ticking" for a bit. Then sounded like marbles were in the engine. Loss of power and engine light came on. Dealer says my 6.2 engine failed and new one needed. Less than 9000 well cared for miles!

Driving on the Highway the Engine failed at highway speeds and the Tahoe experienced a complete shutdown, we could not restart the vehicle nor shift to neutral. We had the vehicle towed and was told by the dealer that it needs a engine replacement at 14,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that two hours after parking the vehicle in the garage and turning off the vehicle, there was excessive heat coming from the vehicle, and the vehicle was extremely hot to the touch above the wheel well. Due to the heat coming from the vehicle, the contact stated that it was difficult to breathe while inside the garage. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but no failure was found with the vehicle. Later, while driving the vehicle, the vehicle lost power, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the nearby dealer and was diagnosed with a fuel pump module and fuel pump hose failure. The contact was informed that the parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 129.

Engine squeeled then shut down. It froze up. Its a 6.2

I was on the interstate. Initially I heard a faint rattling sound. I turned off the radio and AC to listen more closely; the sound was not audible. But then traffic came to a standstill. As I slowed, that barely audible noise began to sound like something boiling in the engine. The temperature and pressure gages were all in normal operating ranges. I pulled to the shoulder of the interstate and checked under the hood. I noticed a distinctive squeaking sound although the fan belt was intacted in running true. There was no sign of any fluid loss in the engine compartment or underneath the vehicle. While attempting to get to a Chevrolet Dealership one exit away, the vehicle stopped running while at a stop light. additionally, there is a recall on this vehicle for the automatic braking system. GM and the dealerships are aware of this recall yet this website states there are no recalls.

I purchased a new 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe approximately five months ago, and it currently has only 11,300 miles. Unfortunately, while driving on the highway last night, the 6.2L engine suffered a catastrophic failure. Seconds before the failure, the check engine light illuminated, and the vehicle immediately lost power while traveling at highway speed, creating a significant safety concern for both my family and other motorists. The vehicle is currently available for inspection. I am waiting for General Motors to advise which dealership the Tahoe should be towed to for diagnosis and repair. While I understand the vehicle is covered under the factory warranty, experiencing a catastrophic engine failure on a five-month-old vehicle with only 11,300 miles has significantly diminished my confidence in it. I purchased this Tahoe expecting years of dependable service, not a major engine replacement within the first few months of ownership.

After driving the vehicle for 5000 miles, the check engine light appeared. We brought the vehicle to dealership and were told that a cylinder was mistimed. They replaced a bank of lifters and returned the vehicle to us. A few weeks later, the check engine light reappeared and we noticed the engine was making some odd sounds. It wa brought back to the dealership and they replaced the fuel pump and hose. The vehicle was returned to us but the check engine light reappeared. The dealership stated that they couldn’t reproduce the problem after testing. The vehicle was returned to us but we noticed that it would periodically lose power upon driving and would have lurching sensation while driving. The check engine light came on intermittently and it is now being brought back to them for the fourth time.

Engine locked up at 10,000 miles

On 05/01/26 while driving on New York State Thruway route 90 east, my check engine light came on. Almost simultaneously the vehicle began to lose speed and I could not accelerate. As I pulled over I could hear a loud clunky noise. The vehicle would not start and was dead on the side of the thruway. Eventually the vehicle was towed to the dealership I purchased it from where they told me "there is a loose part in the engine and the engine needs to be replaced". Sudden power loss of the vehicle represents a safety risk especially traveling at 65mph. To my knowledge the vehicle has been inspected by only the dealership. On 3/17/26 I alerted the dealership I purchased the vehicle from that I heard a ticking in the engine once in a while when I auto started the vehicle. I was told I would receive a call from servicing but never did.

Well traveling motor started making a slight ticking noise, about a mile down the road started squealing like a belt issue, pulled over on the side of the road popped hood and heard the squeal better before it shut down. There was no check engine light or any indication there was an issue prior to this happening.

The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine seized. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with engine and radiator failure. The contact was informed that the engine and the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the repair was under warranty, but the parts were unavailable. The contact stated that the failure had occurred three months after purchasing the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 3,900.

I am writing to formally file a safety complaint regarding a catastrophic engine failure in my 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with a 6.2L engine. The vehicle had approximately 9,640 miles at the time of failure. On March 21, 2026, while driving on a highway, the engine failed suddenly and without warning, creating an unsafe and potentially dangerous situation. The vehicle lost power and had to be towed from the highway to Colussy Chevrolet for inspection and repair. On March 22, 2026, the dealership confirmed that the engine required full replacement and stated that a new engine had been ordered, with an expected arrival date of March 30. I specifically requested that a new engine be installed, given the extremely low mileage and severity of the failure. Approximately one week later, I followed up and was told the engine was still scheduled to arrive on March 30. However, on March 30, I was informed that the order status had changed to “under evaluation,” and the Service Manager indicated that the replacement engine would likely be a remanufactured unit instead of a new one. On April 1, 2026, I contacted General Motors Customer Support to escalate the issue and reiterated my request for a new engine, as well as requested a loaner vehicle due to the loss of use of my vehicle. A representative opened Case #92297395 and advised that the issue had been referred to the Parts Delay Department, with a promised follow-up within 24 hours. On April 2, 2026, the dealership informed me th

The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that after making a long-distance trip, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the side mirrors were moving independently, and the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle eventually restarted the following day, and the contact stated that the check engine warning light turned on the drive to the residence. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where a code reader was used to diagnose the vehicle. The contact was informed that since the check engine warning light was off, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle remained with the dealer overnight and a multi-point inspection was performed, but the dealer found no cause for the failure. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly stopped in the middle of the highway. The vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal, with the check engine warning light illuminated, and the messages "Change Engine Oil Soon" and "Engine Overheating Turn Off Vehicle" displayed. The contact was unable to move the vehicle and was forced to turn on his hazard warning lights due to the failure. The contact called 911 and Highway Patrol assisted with moving the vehicle off to the shoulder. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to another Chevrolet dealer before being towed back to the original dealer. The vehicle remained with the dealer. The contact was informed two days later that the vehi

See attached document for complaint.

While driving down [XXX] the car started making a weird noise as we slowed down for an upcoming light. The light changed and as we started to drive again the check engine light came on and I lost power steering. I was trying to navigate the car off towards the shoulder but the car was hard to maneuver, but was able to move into the right lane. I had to drive the car slowly as to not stop the engine propulsion and stalling. But had no luck once we reached the intersection on [XXX] and [XXX] . At this point the car just died. Nothing was working. Hazard lights didn’t even work at one point. This situation left me and my family in the middle of traffic on a busy highway road. The only thing we had in our favor was the car stoped right at a red light so traffic would have to slow down every so often to the stoplight. We had to have the car towed off the road at around midnight and they took it to the dealership. The engine had a complete failure (found out after the dealership took apart the engine). The email stated: A further oil sample confirmed excessive metal throughout the engine at this point we proceeded with disassembly to identify the source of the failure. After removing the oil pan and inspecting internal components, we found internal engine damage. Specifically, the connecting rod bearing on cylinder 5 had failed, causing significant scoring to the crankshaft, camshaft, and related engine components. The engine has experienced a major internal failure due to the fail

While driving down I35 South of wellington Ks in our new 2026 Chevy Tahoe we experienced a vehicle shift to neutral and no transmission correction available. Coasted to ditch saw “Service Transmission” notice and so turned off and on engine . Went to Derby Ks and Davis Moore Chevy in Wichita where staff removed the warning service notice on driver info and we continued to Molle Chevy in Blue Springs Mo. where they did diagnostic and only showed ambient air fault!! This is scary! We had no transmission and had to get off road safely! Please let public and our dealers know and recall all vehicles with this problem. We are afraid to drive this new 3,000 mile Chevy Tahoe.

The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH on the freeway, while depressing the accelerator the vehicle shut off unintendedly. The vehicle was coasted to the right side of the roadway. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,783.

We were traveling over 70mph on a Kansa state turnpike near Wellington, Ks. and all drive power was lost! Luckily, being in the right lane we then had to coast to the right ditch lane. We saw a message on driver’s info screen “service transmission”. Tried to shift off drive and back on..nothing. So, we shut the engine off and restarted and the message stayed on but we power managed to drive over 20 miles to a Wichita Kansas Chevy dealer called Davis Moore Chevrolet (recommended by first stop, Derby Kansas Chevy Co,) for solution. Gentleman did a shift on off key removed etc and the”service transmission” light turned off and we continued to drive to Kansas City. This is very dangerous!! We are now afraid it may happen again!! Losing all power while on road is dangerous!! Please respond to recommendations to driving this Tahoe and immediately send recall to us !! One should be issued. Also,let our repair dealer in Blue Springs Mo Molle Chevrolet know as we will be going there for repair needed on this brand new 3,000 mile Chevy.

Control algorithm issue. Unexpected acceleration. Not confirmed by dealer. I experienced it twice. Google Gemini sems to know about this. No inspections performed. No warnings. There is a safety issue with the 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe adaptive cruise control. My observation: On a previous drive, I used the adaptive cruise control with it set at highway speed. I disengaged it as I got off the highway using the brake pedal and arrived at my destination via city streets. I turned the vehicle off, exited and locked it. Later, I re-entered the vehicle, started it and began slow speed maneuvering (<5mph) in my driveway, where in, I accidentally bumped the cruise control “Resume” switch, at which time the vehicle began to accelerate, unexpectedly. I stepped on the brake to regain control. No accident occurred. This happened a second time upon my return from the local supermarket. In my opinion, the cruise control should return to the OFF mode when the engine is turned off and not remain “On” and ready to “Resume” after the engine has been cycled. The current operating mode is unsafe.

While driving at highway speed the panoramic sunroof/moonroof shattered/ imploded spontaneously sounding like a gunshot while driving on the highway. There was no debris or road hazard that caused it.

Service break assist light came on 2 days after getting the brand new vehicle. They ended up needing to replace the break Master cylinder

On [XXX] while driving home from work (5 miles) the engineer ne had rough starts while in auto stop at each light and stop sign. Not enough to cause huge concerns. Two days later on [XXX] we traveled to my mother in laws house 2 hours away. Upon returning home we noticed that the cruise control would not turn on, we pulled over and wiped the sensors even though the car was clean. 25 minutes later there was a metal on metal noise coming from the front end. The noise was heard when letting off the gas pedal. It sounded like a metal fan grinding at a high speed on a tin roof. We pulled over at a parking lot off the side of the road and opened the hood. When attempting to turn the car back on the noise from the engine was the same and it promptly shut down again. The car was towed and determined that the engine blown at 2,333 miles on the OBO. No warning lights ever came on and the oil pressure seemed normal. There are still no notifications on the Chevy app and it still says all is well. Even after the motor is replaced I will not feel safe driving my kids even to school. What happens when we’re driving to Denver for my daughters all state choir and it blows again? What happens if we are traveling at an interstate speed and it causes an accident? I do not want to have to replace the motor twice more just to have GM buy it back. This motor design is going to kill someone and something needs to be done. I have a finance loan of $101,000 for a dangerous car that I will never feel s
