Common Problems with the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe
Transmission Issues:
“With 8500 miles while driving the engine started ticking, jerks on acceleration, Trans shifting very slow and a light warning with ‘reduced acceleration while driving’ came on. Then immediately after the Instrument panels warning lights indicated service traction control, forward collision system unavailable, and check engine light all illuminated. Then car stopped accelerating and was almost rear ended on highway. Luckily no one was hurt. What is GM/Chevy doing to fix this issue. Apparently, this is common issue with the new Tahoes.”
Electrical System Problems:
“The vehicle has stalled three times since I bought it a week ago. I will be driving and the engine will stall, putting the vehicle into neutral gear. The dashboard will then instruct me to press the power button, and when I do the vehicle restarts and will be in park. It has happened once while driving on the interstate and twice while making turns into oncoming traffic. When I go to accelerate there will be no acceleration, the vehicle will just be in neutral with no warning.”
“Dash was blank when vehicle was started waited a few minutes before driving did not know speed all was blank. Stopped after driving around 5 miles to decide, to drive home or call for help. After 20 minutes started vehicle this time dash working drove home with no issues. Will call Dealer Monday to report problem.”
“Brake control module failed and is available for inspection. It is still at the dealership as the part needed for repair is backordered. I had trouble braking and steering vehicle putting myself and others at risk but fortunately was in a parking lot at low speed. Problem has been inspected confirmed by dealership only. Warning lamps/messages first appeared at time of incident, none prior.”
Engine Problems:
“vehicle has 5500 miles on it, bought new in July 2022, driving on the interstate at night, vehicle shut down without warning, no warning light or check engine lights came on. Had to have it towed to the dealership and they said it had complete engine failure and have to replace the engine. Barley got it off the interstate, lucky no one was hurt.”
“The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and the contact informed that the system was being updated and was interrupted while attempting to start-up. While driving approximately 25-30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The message ‘’No Key Detected’ was displayed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to the gateway serial data module. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 4,984. The VIN was not available.”
“While driving, I heard a ticking noise, that sounded like rocks being thrown in the fender well. The more I drove, the sound and frequency increased. Then, I started to lose power, like it was taking longer to shift. My safety and others were at risk because continuing to drive with lifter issues could’ve caused engine failure, which could’ve caused an accident. The problem was confirmed at a dealership. I don’t know if anyone else inspected it. No lights appeared until after I had it towed to the dealership. They said the warning lights came on for them.”
Brakes Problems:
“Brake control module failed and is available for inspection. It is still at the dealership as the part needed for repair is backordered. I had trouble braking and steering vehicle putting myself and others at risk but fortunately was in a parking lot at low speed. Problem has been inspected confirmed by dealership only. Warning lamps/messages first appeared at time of incident, none prior.”
“Remote started my Tahoe, got in and the dash said ‘brake system failure’. I put it in reverse and sure enough complete loss/failure of brakes. Let the car shut down and cycle, tried to move it again, same thing happened. Depressed my foot on the brake to the floor and no response from the brakes or braking system.”
