It was a sudden and catastrophic failure.
Exhaust system failure. Was told by manufacturer vehicle dealer service center that cause of the failure was not from normal use or misuse but due to manufacturing and weak metal/poor materials. No warning lights or messages ever appeared on vehicle information system. First report of exhaust smell in vehicle cabin on 4/9/24 at 38,874 miles.

From dealer: "smoke tested exhaust system and checked for leaks, found a hole in the exhuast pipe right before the muffler and is likely the source of the smell. " additionally from dealer, after first repair: "after exhaust repair the vehicle was started and heard and audible exhaust leak on the drivers side. After further inspection found the drivers side exhaust manifold is leaking as well.

My 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe has a recurring pattern of excessive oil consumption, smoke from the exhaust, repeated check engine light events, p0420 catalyst-efficiency faults, and repeated catalytic-converter-related repairs. At approximately 75,000 miles, the vehicle shut down on the freeway. At approximately 121,000 miles, the first catalytic converter failed. Chevrolet of wesley chapel documented p0420 and catalyst failure in November 2025, and gm service history reflects catalytic-converter replacements at 131,468 miles and approximately 141,082 miles. The vehicle also underwent major injector-related repair in early 2026. At 141,620 miles, Chevrolet of wesley chapel started an oil consumption test and stated in writing that oil consumption can lead to repeat failed converters and false oxygen sensor readings. Despite substantial repairs, the problem pattern continued. I am reporting this as a possible safety-related defect affecting engine operation, emissions-system failure, and drivability, and I am asking NHTSA to review whether this indicates a broader safety-related defect.

We had it towed to Chevrolet for them to fix in which the car was finally ready for pick up [xxx]. Not to mention when gm sent the tow truck, it couldn’t even tow our vehicle. They had to order another tow truck because the manual override for the parking break wouldn’t release so I had to sit in the feeezing cold with my kids for over an hour. #3 main cap seized causing engine to not turn over and rod seized as well.

The check engine light came on on my chevy Tahoe, November 2023. The system started to fail it would say for collision not able service esc system. I would bring it into the shop. They would hook it up to the computer and they would say OH nothing wrong we just reset it.

Everything‘s fine then it did it again and I was going through the mountains. I noticed that my car smelled of gas and that the gas gauge was just sucking fuel and I knew this was a problem. . They finally found out what was going on, but I feel the damage had already been done. The part that got replaced was over $1000. I had to pay out-of-pocket for it. Now my vehicle’s engine is shot.
Our family of 5 (including 2 children and an infant) was driving 70 mph westbound on interstate 40 east of knoxville, TN when our 2022 Tahoe rst engine seized. For a few seconds, we had no steering, braking or acceleration and the dashboard began flashing. After a few seconds, the car shifted itself into the neural gear and we were able to brake on the shoulder of a busy highway. We were unable to restart the car. We called the police as well as aaa. The police came and sat behind us to deter oncoming cars to changes lanes. Aaa came and towed our car to reeder Chevrolet dealership in knoxville, TN. There, it was determined that our engine had seized and needs to be replaced under warranty however, there is a backorder on the engine, and we are now driving a rental car. There are several other Tahoes in their service department with similar circumstances in need of a 6. 2l ecotech v8 engine. There was no warning at all that the car had problems. Up until this point, there were no issues. I believe there is a widespread problem with these particular engines and this should be addressed on a national level. Our lives were at risk.

Lifters ticking fuel injector misfires.
Tahoe will not start nor will it allow to be jumped by another vechicle. Tahoe is kept in garage this is the 4th time this has happened. Dealer replaced the battery first time saying that was the culprit, second time they could not find a root cause, and same for third time. I see this is a common problem with engine, battery and electrical of the 2022 Tahoe. I do not feel safe in it knowing this could cut off on me driving down the interstate.
On June 1st, I was put in a very dangerous situation while driving on the highway. Out of nowhere, my vehicle’s engine started clicking and immediately converted to a rough in the middle of highway traffic. I was terribly afraid from my life. I was headed to duluth, GA for a meeting but had turn around and drive 31 miles back in rush hour traffic to steve reyman Chevrolet dealership, in cobb county in this condition. I was extremely stressed; afraid that I could potentially be injured in an accident or fire, because of the engine. Several never before seen warning signals appeared. These signals included service esc, service traction control, forward collision system unavailable and the check engine light. I had just had my truck serviced on 5/26, as the dealership had been monitoring the oil consumption of my 2022 Tahoe. By the time, I arrived to the dealership, the service department was closed, so the vehicle was left overnight. I met with the service advisor in the morning and was told there was a cylinder 4 misfire and that a fuel injector and spark plugs was needed. After picking up, my vehicle on June 12th, the issued was not resolved and my vehicle was inoperable. I regularly service my vehicle including recommended service, so I’m not sure how something this extreme could happen. Looking back at my service records, there have been several occurrences where the vehicle stalled out and the dealer blamed the auto/start stop feature or a failed battery. All pretty ridiculous claims for a brand new truck. I’m convinced this vehicle was produced poorly. My truck has 72,325 miles on it, however I came across several forums with new body Tahoes & suburbans with way less mileage (I. E. 4300 miles) that experienced the exact same issue. Attached, you will find all the times, I brought my vehicle in for service for a major concerning issue.
Car started ticking and loosing power exited and car stalled and car towed to nearest dealer capital Chevrolet in montgomery al. It has been there since 5-26-23. They first told us engine crankshaft blown, then said they will repair but parts on back order and no estimated epa. Gm customer service has been involved but no help.
Driving on highway and car started making a loud noise and it completely stopped, had to tow to the dealer.
Will coming to a stop the vehicle would just stall. Didn’t notice the dash saying to restart and as let off of break the truck started to roll backwards almost hit car behind me. Did this about 7 more times. Made appointment with dealership and they told me there was no problem found.
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.
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.
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.
