general problems of the 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe - part 2

I have a 2017 chevy Tahoe with 77,000 miles on it. I will have it 4 years labor day weekend. I get all the regular service and oil changes on it in a timely fashion. Last week I was driving my daughter to a friends house and there was a tapping sound. The car did not sound right. Suddenly the engine light illuminated and was blinking. The car smelled of gas. Thankfully I wasn't too far from home. I had to drive on a highway to get back to my house. I could only go about 30 mph. It was very dangerous. I had my hazards on but people were still beeping at me since I was causing a safety hazard for myself and others. I managed to get home safely and called the dealership. I dropped my car off the next morning since it is not drive-able. The service rep said it was going in as an emergency. After 5 days they finally looked at it. They did not give me a loaner. If I wanted a loaner I was required to pay $46/day. The rep said the repairs to my 3 year old car wont be covered and it will cost over $5,000 to fix the engine. It is a known engine issue to chevy corporate bulletin 15-06-01-002h engine misfire/tick noise, malfunction indicator lamp illuminated. It is common in 20-15-2019 Tahoe and suburban. I had to borrow a 12 year old car to drive around my 4 children because my 3 year old car has a bad engine. Ethically how can chevy require their customers to cover a cost of an engine that they know is faulty. There was nothing that I did to cause this issue. I will never purchase another chevy. Shame on paramus Chevrolet.

My wife was driving on the interstate through birmingham, al and my 2017 chevy Tahoe lt lost power. The transmission had one instance of a hard shift during highway driving, then just failed. She was luckily able to make it to the side of the interstate safely, tried to shift it into drive and the car rolled backwards. Had it towed to hendricks chevy and they found burnt tranny fluid and indicated the planetary gear appeared damaged. This truck is only 4 years old with only highway miles and the transmission now needs to be replaced. Chevrolet should be replacing these at no charge as this is a common problem with their 6 speed transmission. There were multiple Tahoes in the same shop for the same problem. I have been a chevy fan all of my life but now rethinking that as they do not stand behind their product. The code you need to watch out for is the p0796 code, which is a fluid pressure failure. If you receive this code, you are likely going to have to pat 4-6k for a transmission. Step up to the plate chevy and take care of your customers.

At around 70k miles started having issues. Went to pull out on the highway rolled fwd and it would not go almost like it was knocked out of gear. Then at 100300 miles the transmission is gone. Paid 47k for a Tahoe and now having to spend $4200 to replace a transmission. I'm lucky that we didn't get hit when the transmission came out. Gm you need to fix this before someone is killed!!!! there is too many people having this same issue for you not to look into it.

At approximately 90 thousand miles the transmission on my 2017 Tahoe premier went out and we had to get a new transmission installed. I was stopped in traffic on the highway and when I went to accelerate the vehicle would not move. I was able to get the Tahoe to lurch to the slow lane and off of the road. Tractor trailers were having to switch to the slow lane and back to the fast lane to get around us and back into the proper lane because the highway had the right slow lane shut down. No service lights came on and I did not notice any hard shifting or other transmission issues before this happened. The cost for the transmission and labor was around $4,500.

Transmission wouldn't go into reverse, neutral brakes wear down extremely fast.

My 2017 Tahoe is jerking, not going into overdrive smoothly, not accelerating easily. I was told that this year model had several vehicles that had to have the transmission replaced. I have owned this vehicle for only 6 months. I called my local dealership to see if there were any recalls and also called GMC but was told by both that there were no recalls for this issue. With the cost of these vehicles there should be no issues on a fairly new model and from the previous comments I have read here gm needs to issue a recall on transmissions before a serious injury occurs.

My 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe felt very stiff while accelerating and started suddenly jerking and backfiring while in motion as if we were rear-ended. It would feel as if it was stuck or struggling to shift gears and both the transmission and engine lights came on . We took it to the nearest Chevrolet dealership thinking it was a minor issue being still fairly new but was told the whole transmission needs to be replaced. There is no way a 3 year old Chevrolet Tahoe with less than 100k miles that's barely been driven due to covid needs a new transmission. Please investigate this as these mechanical problems could create unsafe conditions for other owners.

Transmission stopped working ! only has less then 70000 mi on it !!! was stopped at a stop sign took my foot off the brake and it started to roll backwards! I waited about 10 or 15 minutes then it started to go again but with a strange shuttering feeling . It soon stopped again and same thing wouldnt go for a few minutes then again it felt weak and underpowered.

On my way to work on the freeway about 10 miles out I started having transmission problems,it wasn't shifting right and and sometimes it would stay on one gear too long and the rpm would stay at 4500rpm before it shifts and this is while cruising at 65mph. And when I try to accelerate I would hear a humming/whistling sound from within and I couldn't go past 70mph. Then the �check engine� light came on. When I got to a stop sign after getting off the freeway my Tahoe would hesitate when I stepped on the gas. When I got to the parking lot I tried to back-in to parking space and my Tahoe would not go on reverse. And when I was leaving the parking lot to take my vehicle to the dealer to get checked out,when I put it on drive nothing happens and after about 10 seconds the vehicle jumped into gear and jerked it forward without stepping on the gas so much so,that the rear tires even screeched a bit! it scared the # out of me. I would really like to know if anybody else had this problem and what was done to rectify it.

*takata recall* I have been noticing a lot of different issues with my 2017 Tahoe premier. The engine block is a deep rust color. Engine is extremely hot even hours later after parking. There is a thick black sludge that is on nearly every part under the truck. I started hearing a ticking noise that sped up as my driving speed increases. This issue occurs often but not daily. As well as when turning into my driveway it makes a high pitched popping noise ( the sound is similar to a small rock being flung onto the aluminum wheel) I also hear grinding noises when making a sharp turn. Metal against metal is as best as I can describe it. I decided to look under the hood and checked the oil level and it appears fine. I don't know how to check other levels aside from the windshield fluid so I will be forced to have it towed to the dealership. While I was under my truck I noticed how there was a lot of rusted parts. The (if I am correct) exhaust housing looked nearly burned and the product sticker that is on there is 100% bites. As if someone put a lighter to it. Not sure what all the gunk is that is caked on everything below the truck but it can't be a good thing for sure. Also, I found a bolt wedged between an area. Why is there a bolt and where did it come from? does this mean I have missing parts on my engine or anywhere else? my truck runs so hot but no lights have come on. This evening after seeing what I did made me fear the thought of driving my truck that I pay a hefty payment on. It has 12,000 miles on it. I've had it one year and aways get my services done on time with oil changes and so forth. I shouldn't be having this issue or better yet issues. Who's going to fix this problem. And ho long before someone recalls my truck for this issue !?.
