ODI #11748409ENGINE

While driving, my Chevrolet Tahoe suddenly developed a severe, rhythmic bottom-end engine knock, indicating a catastrophic internal mechanical failure. I immediately took the vehicle to an authorized Chevrolet dealership on May 29, 2026, for emergency diagnosis.The dealership technicians officially diagnosed the issue as a severe lower-end engine failure. They deemed the engine unrepairable and determined that a complete long-block engine replacement is required.As of today, July 6, 2026, the vehicle has been sitting at the dealership for over 5 weeks and has yet to be fixed. The prolonged delay and sudden mechanical failure present a severe safety hazard, leaving me without a vehicle due to known GM manufacturing defects currently under NHTSA investigation. This report is being filed to document the failure of the 6.2L engine lower end, the necessity of a full long-block replacement, and the ongoing repair delay.

ODI #11740973UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Vehicle: 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe RST The backup camera and HD Surround Vision system on my 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe have experienced repeated failures despite multiple repair attempts by an authorized Chevrolet dealership. The failure presents as a black screen displaying a red warning triangle and a crossed-out camera icon when the vehicle is placed in reverse or when camera views are selected. The parking sensors continue to function, but no camera image is available. The vehicle was first repaired in July 2025 (6705 miles) after the dealership diagnosed heat damage to the rear camera coaxial cable located in the liftgate area. The cable was replaced, and the vehicle was returned to service. The camera system failed again the same day. The vehicle was subsequently returned to the dealership, where the liftgate harness was replaced in Aug 2025. Following the repair, the camera system operated normally for a period of time before the same failure condition returned. At approximately 16,500 miles (May 2026), the backup camera and HD Surround Vision system have again become inoperative. This represents at least the third occurrence of the same issue despite prior repairs involving replacement of camera-related wiring components. The loss of the backup camera and surround vision system significantly reduces rearward visibility while backing, parking, and maneuvering the vehicle. Because the condition is intermittent and recurring, the driver cannot reliably depend on the camera system to function when needed. I am submitting this complaint because the issue has recurred multiple times after repair attempts and may indicate a broader defect affecting the vehicle's camera system.

ODI #11739755STRUCTURE

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe with approximately 23,000 miles.I have a video recording of it . While the vehicle was being driven, water suddenly began actively dripping from the rear cabin light/headliner area into the interior of the vehicle. There were children inside the vehicle at the time, including a child seated directly underneath the area where the water was dripping near the child seat. A significant amount of water is entering the vehicle and continues dripping throughout the interior cabin area. The water appears to be coming from the upper rear cabin/light area and may have entered the electrical system or interior electronic components of the vehicle. I am extremely concerned about potential electrical hazards, safety risks, corrosion, and malfunction of electronic systems caused by water intrusion inside the vehicle. This vehicle has relatively low mileage for its age and has not been modified. The condition appears to involve a possible manufacturing, sealing, or drainage defect. Because children are transported in this vehicle daily, I believe this issue presents a serious potential safety concern and should be formally investigated.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, I experienced engine failure on my 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe 6.2L V8. This was a very dangerous situation, and could of been potentially dangerous to others around me on the highway. There was no warning just complete loss of engine propulsion at highway speeds. It was towed to the dealership on this same date. On Monday, April 27, 2026, it was confirmed by the Chevrolet Dealership that this vehicle suffered catastrophic engine failure and that the engine was seized up. Inspection would be available upon request.

My vehicle started having stuttering/shifting issues back in August 2025, I was advised the vehicle did not need new engine but upgraded oil. I continued to have the issues and have continued to bring back to dealer for constant software updates - cannot duplicate issue meanwhile the stop sale order was issued and I was not advised. The vehicle then experienced very hard jerking- stall- that lead to the dealership putting an AWD IN 2WD calling it a fix! Just got vehicle back again after a complete stall at a stop sign- causing vehicle to roll back and cut back on! Dealer stated the vehicle showed the stall/shutter but could not duplicate on road test. This is a serious safety issue!!

Dealer checked the 6.2L motor for known defects. It "passed" inspection on 11/20/25 and got the thicker oil (OW-40). The engine lost propulsion ("died") 3 times on a 55mph State Highway on 02/09/26 with my 4 year old in the car with me. It died and came to a complete stop in one lane and would not re-start initially with cars almost rear ending us and needing to aggressively swerve to avoid hitting us. After 4 or 5 attempts it started again (making terrible grinding noises) so I could get it off the road before it died again. It started again to drive home on the back roads approximately 1 mile. Low oil pressure and check engine lights came on. I also received notifications from onstar and from the my Chevy app that there were severe motor or transmission problems. I scanned it with an OBD II Scanner and it has code P00016 (Camshaft Position Correlation - Bank 1 Sensor A). It got towed to the dealer and is now confirmed it is in need of a full motor replacement less than 3 months after they told me the motor passed inspection! This is not acceptable. To be told it's fine and then have it fail with my child in the car is extremely unsafe. Now I'm stuck trying to get a comparable loaner vehicle from the dealer to drive in the snow and mountains with my family safely while they expect to have the vehicle at minimum of 6 weeks. So far they have not found a loaner potentially putting my family in further danger by not having a 4X4 vehicle in a snowy climate.

I have a 2024 Tahoe that was purchased new from the dealer and has 13,700mi. The first service was completed as required in December with no issues identified. Less than 2 months later the front wheels started making a squeaking sound intermittently when accelerating, coasting or breaking. There were no warning messages. The dealership/mechanic looked over the car & said that the front brakes were measuring 2mm (completely worn out) but no other issues. Before drop off the car computer said above 75% or more for front and rear breaks (green). I have been driving the car in normal condition in southern ca. It seems that the break pads were defective and degraded at an alarming/unsafe rate or that a different component on the car caused them the continuously rub and wear down. The dealership blamed it on owner operation even though they supposedly checked them 2 months before and didn't see abnormal signs of wear. I am very concerned with the QUALITY, RELIABILITY & SAFETY of the front breaking system due to the fact that the breaks wore out so fast. I am worried that the problem has not been properly identified and that that breaks will continue to have this problem if it wasn't caused by faulty pads. I have never had a break wear problem like this before on any of the other 5 new cars that I have owned. This is the first American brand car I have owned and hopefully it's not a sign of things to come.

Upon restarting the vehicle the warnings didnt not go way for 1hr. 2 hours later the warnings cleared from the information system but codes remains. Vehicle was taken to Uptown Chevrolet, Slinger WI and was informed of a bad battery as the "cause" of the issue. A bad battery should not result in the loss of braking capability on any vehicle!

Front passenger wheel has a fracture. The structural integrity of the wheel is compromised and is causing the tire to leak air, which is dangerous and can cause loss of vehicle control and damage to suspension or brakes. It could also cause dangerous blowouts, which causes a safety concern for me and others on the road if that happens. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. Photos were taken and submitted to GM for warranty. The warranty was denied. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else other than the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. The only warning lamps were low tire pressure warning. The fracture was found during inspection as to the cause of the low tire pressure.

ODI #11711618ENGINE

The vehicle in question had approximately 5000 miles when low oil light came on, it was 2 quarts low. this was after the first oil change at around 3500 miles. I had the dealer do an oil consumption evaluation. They check the oil every 500 miles and confirmed it was using 2 quarts every 2500 miles. They informed me GM says this is normal. I cannot disagree more with that claim. GM knows they have a problem with the 6.2-liter engine. I have researched the issue and found they have a problem with the crankshaft machining and the oil delivery port beveling that delivers lubrication to the connecting rod bearing appears to be too large that causes the motor oil not to consistently keep the bearing lubricated. This causes the engine to be an "oil burner" and premature failure of the bearing. They think putting a heavier viscosity of oil in will delay the inevitable engine failure, which makes me believe they are aware of the faulty manufacturing and want to run from their warranty responsibilities.

See attached document for complaint. We are writing to express our concerns regarding ongoing and unresolved issues with our 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country Deluxe Package, which we purchased on [XXX] from Titus-Will Chevrolet in Olympia, Washington. Our vehicle was ordered on [XXX] and delivered with 12 miles on the odometer [XXX]. The total purchase price was $97,889.61. This vehicle is equipped with a 6.2-liter Ecotec VB engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Since shortly after purchase, we have experienced intermittent audio output problems. With these problems, there is no audio for the radio, phone calls or mapping directions from any of the apps. Incoming phone calls do not connect and outgoing calls cannot be made. Despite multiple service visits-[XXX] as well as documented audio output issues my wife recorded and dated due to the fact that the dealership is 50 miles away: [XXX] We have also driven our vehicle into the Titus Will dealership service department twice when the audio output was not working so the service techs were able to see exactly what was not working-the issues are still unresolved even after updates from the service department and over the air updates that were to "FIX" the issues per GMC/Chevrolet. Our dealership has been unable to identify or correct the defect. Additionally, we received a Safety Recall Notice (N252494000) on May 20, 2025, concerning a potential loss of propulsion in the 6.2-liter engine, which may lead to catastrophic engine failure and increased risk of a crash or harm. We were surprised to learn that this recall was issued on April 24, 2025-prior to our purchase date-yet was not disclosed by the dealer at the time of sale, which also appears to be deceitful on GMC's part. We would not have accepted the vehicle knowing there were catastrophic engine problems as we travel the highways often visiting family in Idaho and Spokane as well as taking care of our elderly parents this last year with their medical care transports. When we contacted Titus-Will Chevrolet about the recall, they informed us that they could not inspect my engine until further instruction was received from GM Corporate. We also requested to trade in our vehicle for a comparable model equipped with a smaller, unaffected engine (5.3L), but was told by both Titus-Will Chevrolet and Whitney Chevrolet in Montesano, Washington, that GM Corporate had instructed dealers not to buy back or trade these affected vehicles at this time. As a result, we are now left with a new vehicle that: - Has persistent, unresolved defects in the audio system; - Is subject to an active safety recall with potential for serious catastrophic failure including crashes; and - Have suffered a significant diminished value of our new vehicle due to these unresolved issues and restrictions on resale or trade-in. Given these circumstances, we respectfully request that Chevrolet replace our 2024 Tahoe with a new, comparable model equipped with a 5.3-liter engine (or another engine not subject to the recall) and the extended warranty we had purchased with the current Tahoe we own. We have been a loyal Chevrolet customer, having bought six new Chevy Tahoe's over the years as well as Chevy Pickups, and have always been satisfied- until this vehicle. We hope this matter can be resolved promptly and fairly. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the next steps, but we expect a written response no more than 40 days of receiving this letter. Thank you for your attention and understanding. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Purchased new vehicle in September 2024, immediately after purchasing the vehicle the engine had a clanking noise. Took the car back to the dealership where they explained the noise was normal. The car continue to make clanking noise, but noise continued to get louder, took the vehicle back to the dealership for first oil change, verify the noise, and discuss safety recall received on the vehicle. Dealer told me the car was ok to drive. In October 2025, the vehicle loss power during acceleration with immediate re-start. After this incident, took the vehicle to another dealer where they inspected the vehicle again. The test failed and the car now needs a new engine.

On October 23 I was driving my vehicle and the airbag light and a message service safety restraint appeared. On October 24 I was in route to take the vehicle to the dealership and as I was merging going to the highway the vehicle turned off, lost complete power threw itself into neutral. I had to drive it over to the shoulder to keep from getting hit. I was able to get the vehicle to turn back on and got it to the dealership. This would be the third time that the vehicle has lost power and completely turned off while driving the first time I took it to the dealership. They said they couldn’t find anything wrong. The second time this happened. I took it to the dealership. They said they replaced the gateway module this third time I took it to the dealership they have called me and said they need to replace the OnStar telecommunication module. The vehicle is unsafe. It is a brand new 2024 Tahoe I purchased it new. The vehicle should not be turning off while I’m driving The same messages consistently pop up the airbag in the service safety restraint. They replaced some kind of console at the top and say that that would fix the issue, but it didn’t because the message came back on again the vehicle idols as if it’s gonna turn off whenever I go to stop the vehicle The transmission stutters are like it’s going into a downshift and it acts like he wants to turn off, but it doesn’t it’s only turned off when I’m driving and then it will just shut off.

When driving on the highway at 75 mph, my vehicle alerted me to add oil. We immediately pulled off the side of the road checked the oil. There was not even a drop on the dip stick. Had to add 3 quarts of oil to even register on the very tip of the dip stick. Please note we were within 100 miles of being due for an oil change. The vehicle is currently at a Chevy dealership to start the process of inspection and do an oil consumption test. This vehicle is my main transportation to take my children to and from school and activities. We live in Larkspur, our children go to school in Monument and we have sports in Castle Rock, so we drive quite a bit. I’m not sure that I’m comfortable with a small fix and using a different type of oil to see if my engine will be salvageable. My questions: Can you confidently let me leave your dealership and guarantee that my family will be safe and know that my engine will not fail due to the recall issues? If my car engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced do you have a comparable loner car until then? If my car engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced can you confidently say this is not going to affect my resale or trade in value? Do you have a recall trade in credit for a 2025 vehicle? I spent $85k on what I thought was a reliable vehicle for me to drive my 2 children around in. My biggest concern is that my engine stops running while I’m on the highway at a fast speed with or without my family. If my husband wasn’t in my car when the oil notification came on, we probably would have lost our engine. How is GM going to make this right and guarantee safety for my family? How is GM going to help with our frustration, anxiety and loss of time dealing with this mistake of selling vehicles with a defective engine? When will I have these answers?

My family and I were returning from vacation from Florida to our home state, North Carolina, when our new Tahoe with 5700 miles started to act strangely. We hit bad traffic leaving Florida so there was plenty of stop and go type maneuvers. At one point, the vehicle turned itself off and put itself in neutral while we were thankfully going a slower speed due to traffic. I was able to get off the shoulder near the [XXX] and restart the car. It ran fine after restart until it started making a clanging type noise from the engine bay. We stopped again and checked temperatures and fluids and the clanging stopped. About 30 minutes later the clanging and a guttural noise began to occur from the engine bay and the transmission would not shift, keeping the vehicle at/around 4,000 RPM at 60mph. We were able to get the vehicle to a nearby rest stop. My wife, 3 children, and I were put in harm’s way due to GM’s faulty product and poor quality control. To have your vehicle shut itself off and/or not shift, especially on the interstate, is incredibly dangerous to the occupants of the vehicle as well as the motoring public.

I was approaching an intersection to make a left turn from a two-way highway with a posted speed limit of 65mph. Another vehicle had approached the same intersection in the other direction and stopped to make a left turn, so both vehicles were making left turns in opposite directions, but the vehicle opposite my vehicle had to stop because I was approaching and signaling to turn and another vehicle, towing a trailer, was following behind my vehicle. As I approached the intersection, I began to turn the wheel and my vehicle shutdown and stopped in the lane, causing the vehicle behind me to take evasive action to avoid colliding into the rear of my vehicle. I received an alert on my dashboard to start the engine, which I did, but it didn't accelerate. I received another alert on the dash to start the engine and to place it in drive. After performing the actions, the vehicle felt as though it had lost power and I slowly drifted off the side of the road where I shut the vehicle off and restarted it again without further issues. The issue has not been reproduced and the dealership I purchased the vehicle from could not confirm any known issues. The vehicle has not been inspected due to the dealership not having any insight into any known issues that may have caused the incident. No other warning lights were displayed prior to the incident.
