While traveling on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost all power. The gas pedal became unresponsive, and the engine ceased functioning entirely—without any prior warning or indicators. I was forced to coast into a nearby parking lot to prevent a potential collision. This incident put both myself and my child at serious risk of injury or worse, had it occurred at a higher speed or in heavier traffic. Once stopped, the vehicle would not restart. I had no choice but to have it towed to the dealership for evaluation. A week later, the dealership diagnosed the issue as a locked-up engine, confirming that a full engine replacement is necessary. Unfortunately, the replacement engine is currently on backorder, and they are unable to provide an estimated time of arrival. To make matters worse, the dealership has no loaner vehicles available for at least a month. Gm only offers a rental reimbursement of $44 per day, which is significantly below the cost of even a basic rental vehicle in our area ($74/day). This leaves me with limited transportation options, even though I am currently making monthly payments of over $1,400 on a vehicle that is completely unusable. Adding to the severity of this situation, the vehicle is also subject to a manufacturer recall, but no remedy or parts are currently available to resolve the issue. As a parent of multiple children, this entire experience has left me shaken. I cannot begin to imagine the consequences had this failure happened at a higher speed or in less forgiving conditions. I am extremely concerned for my family’s safety going forward. Gm has stated they will not extend or provide additional warranty coverage until the repair is complete, which leaves me feeling unprotected and anxious about the future reliability of this vehicle. The absence of warning signs and the total loss of power while driving make this a critical safety concern that must be addressed. I urge NHTSA to hold the manufacturer accountable.

My 23 chevy Tahoe was diagnosed with catastrophic engine failure on 04/02/2025, and per recall n252494000 a case for engine replacement. That replacement was completed and the case was closed on 06/02/2025. Since that time the new, replacement engine has been consuming oil at a high rate, is running with intermittent lag and I am waiting for a diagnostics appt with chevy.

My vehicle’s engine has been recalled since June. The dealer refused to inspect because there is no remedy to replace the engine. I have complained since I purchased the vehicle of noises that I’ve heard. I am hearing more noises, and I am increasingly getting more scared every day to drive my vehicle. I will not put myself nor my family in harms way I can get into an accident. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. I am not taking any chances of hurting anyone else or my family or potentially have a fatal accident. Two months of driving around scared I will not drive my truck anymore. I am beyond upset that there is no remedy for this and that it is not taken seriously. Something needs to be done regarding my situation and all others. The vehicle was sold, most likely knowing that this was a problem. Gm needs to make good on this problem before people get killed. I would like them to buy back my vehicle, I am sure I qualify for a full re-purchase. I called gm. They will get back to me in five business days. I cannot emphasize how afraid I am to drive my vehicle and I paid $110,000 for this vehicle.

Unusual knocking noises, performance issues, high rpm, - traction control light is on feels at times the engine is on verge of losing power while I'm driving on the highway with my children and I could get hit check engine light blinking constantly.

I took my car into the fowler Chevrolet (aka century Chevrolet) dealership in broomfield, colorado to get the engine recall addressed for my 2023 chevy Tahoe-rst. I was told gm doesn't have a solution and has not sent any parts to the dealerships to deal with the recall. This is a significant safety issue/concern since I drive my [xxx] daughter every day in this vehicle. How is an oem like gm allowed to get away with not having an immediate fix available to such a significant safety issue where an engine just fails and could fail without any warning lights on a highway. Extremely dangerous and nerve racking to drive this vehicle knowing there is this safety recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6.

2023 Tahoe with 6. 2l gas engine at 29k miles suffered a complete engine failure on a major road at 60mph with no prior warning. We were lucky to be able to get it out of the road safely but it stranded my family. It’s currently at gm dealer waiting for an engine replacement.

I filled my car up with gas and turned it on and it started shaking. Several warnings popped up on the dashboard screen including, service esc, service traction control, and forward collision system unavailable. My cruise control was disabled I had to hold my foot at an angle to keep the speed at 45-50 mph, causing it to take 10 hours for me to get home from austin to dallas. The check engine light was on the entire time and flashed for the last hour to hour and a half. I was unable to pull over at that time because it was dark and I was in the middle of nowhere by myself. The next day I turned my car on. The only thing on was the check engine light, is , however , around 1 pm that day it started doing the same thing. I drove it from my patient's house in allen to galleria Chevrolet in dallas. They told me my battery was too low to run diagnostics and I needed to replace it. So I bought a battery and brought it to them. They replaced the next morning and told me there were no codes showing up so there was nothing wrong with my car and it was a fluke. Exactly one week later the same thing happened to my car. I called the dealership and they hao it toewd to the service dept. After I repeatedly called them to check on the status of my car, they told me it was the fuel injector #1. They then were able to apply for a loaner car for me as I am a hospice nurse. These are same exact issues that the gm 6. 2 l engines are having with the recall they just announced. I have a 5. 3 l engine. I am afraid to put my kids in my car. Please help get gm to take responsibility for this!.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at 75 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. Due to the failure, the contact used excessive force to steer the vehicle off to the shoulder of the highway where the vehicle was then towed to a dealer. After the vehicle remained in the dealer's possession for over a week, the vehicle was diagnosed with an engine failure. The contact was then informed that the vehicle was placed under recall NHTSA campaign number: 25v274000 (engine) and that the engine would be replaced. Despite the engine repair, the contact stated that an abnormal, rattling sound would emit from the vehicle upon start of the engine. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle would violently jerk upon depression of the accelerator pedal while at a complete stop. The failure started intermittently; however, the contact stated that overtime the failure became more persistent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they claimed that the transmission was four quarts low on transmission fluid; they then informed the contact that they could not guarantee that remedy would repair the failure. The contact stated that failure improved; however, she would still experience a slight hesitation upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000.

We were driving on a busy interstate in knoxville, TN on a Sunday. We were 2 hours from home and my 2023 Tahoe basically went into limp mode while I was in the fast lane and the check engine light came on. No warning in advance. The speed reduced, which backed traffic up, and put me and my 4 children in danger. We finally got off the interstate and the vehicle had to be towed in to the nearest dealership. I had a friend drive us to enterprise where they put us in a Jeep grand wagoneer. On Monday, I received a call from the dealership stating they had good and bad news. The good news was the repair is covered by warranty but the bad news was it will be 2-3 months before they can get the part. The part is on back order and several people are waiting ahead of me. The said part is a valve body for the engine/transmission. The dealership also informed me that warranty will not cover a non-gm vehicle and that they will only pay for a rental up to 44. 00/day. It’s not my fault the part is on back order, nor that enterprise gave me a non-gm vehicle. Also, I have a family of 6, which is why I have a Tahoe and I cannot be put in a small sedan. My children play sports, we have upcoming vacation, and quite frankly, I didn't pay 90,000. 00 for a vehicle to be placed in a vehicle that I don’t feel is safe for my family. If I had wanted a sedan, I would have bought one. Gm should take better care of their customers, especially when something is like this is not the customers fault!!! I have contacted gm and have been told I will be called back by a supervisor each time I talk to someone. This is unacceptable!!.

The engine stoped running at about 50mph. Beatty Chevrolet in knoxville TN has car suddenl deceleration no brake lights and stuck on curvy [xxx] engine is lockedup and beaty ordered a new engine with gm approval beaty Chevrolet inspected the engine the only message was push start again. The service dept rep said this is rare but had 5 6. 2l engines affected at his shop. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

We were driving on the highways, we had to break and the car shut off, we barely made it to the side of the road and the car would not turn over, start, or go in to neutral, which was very unsafe. Had to have it drug on the tow truck since it wouldn’t go to neutral and at the dealer it had 17 codes. The engine seized and they are having to order a new engine.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who then determined that the sound was the lifters tapping. The contact was informed that all 16 lifters needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer, who also diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the failure was with the lifters; and informed the previous dealer might not have repaired the vehicle properly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 28,000.

First the front collision warning systems kept coming on and off. Then the engine died on the highway and I had to restart. I drove a little further and it died again and would not restart. I had it towed to the dealer and they are telling me the engine has seized and needs to be replaced. I have 40,000 mile and the car is 2 years old. It was very dangerous to have the car die twice while at speed on the highway.

Started having an issue a few weeks ago with the vehicle shutting off while driving for no reason without warning causing a very serious safety concern. This issue seemed to stop until one Saturday when I started the vehicle I noticed a small tick. This ticking sound continued to grow. The vehicle then shut off again with warning while driving. 7 days had gone by since the first episode. When I started the vehicle again there was a very pronounce rapping and it sounded like parts inside the motor were coming apart. When I arrived home I called onstar. They did a diagnostic twice and said the motor was not showing any codes and running perfect. I had it towed from my house and upon inspection the motor is blown with 10,000 miles.

I was driving on i75 thru atlanta to meet my husband in adairsville, georgia, and my car started squealing like a belt was squealing and then it statrted making a loud knocking noise and shut off I was able to get it to the shoulder to see what was going on, when I realized it was in the motor I was about half a mile to the next exit as I did not feel safe being on the side of the road managed to make it to the truck stop after it cut off several times just imagine if someone was close behind me when my Tahoe kept shutting off it could have been a very bad accident called gm roadside assistance and had vehicle towed to nearest dealer they couldn’t look at it so my husband loaded it into the back of his lowboy trailer and took it to hometown dealer where I bought it from Tahoe only had 22599 miles on it and I paid over 90k for this I feel like we should be compensated for this and the downtime of not knowing when I will get it back.

2023 with 34,000 miles on the 6. 2 engine. Shutoff while driving. Engine is bad and will need to be replaced. Gm should be forced to do a recall.

Engine failure due to rod bearing failure, without warning at 16,500k miles. It is available for inspection if needed. Currently is at dealership waiting for new engine. The vehicle shut off while driving at 40mph forcing me to have to stop in the middle of a roadway without any shoulders or turn offs. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by a certified Chevrolet dealership. The failed engine will be sent to gm by the dealer. There were no warning lights prior to this incident or after.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. The contact was able to coast over to the side of the road. No warning lights were illuminated prior to the failure; however, the check engine warning light illuminated after the failure and remained illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,566.

While slowing for a red light my vehicle shut off, completely powered off. I had to press the ignition start button to turn it back on. I pulled to the side of the road, then two messages flashed on the dash screen, service transmission and service brake assist. I called and scheduled a vehicle service at a local Chevrolet service center. After the service center evaluated my vehicle (in their possession for 72 hours) they stated there were no diagnostic findings and they could not replicate the issue. A vehicle randomly shutting off with no identifiable or repairable issue is a public safety concern.

Traveling down the highway at 65 mph the engine/transmission started bucking and you could hear the rear wheel lock up. The vehicle then would not shift and reduced the speed to 55mph. Check engine light came on. Chevrolet is telling me the valve body needs to be replaced but keep driving it because it is on national backorder. After doing some research gm is hiding the issue and keeps installing faulty valve bodies. The gm fix is that they programmed the transmission to reduce speed when it notices excessive wear. Gm is not standing behind the issue as it has been like pulling teeth to get a loaner vehicle.

I was driving my 2023 Tahoe on the interstate, in the far left lane. I had my wife and 2 kids in the car. Suddenly I noticed the air turned off and the dashboard screen went blank. I noticed that the car was now in neutral and the accelerator was not providing any response. I put on my hazards and started to merge across 7 lanes of highway without using brakes because we were going up a hill. We lost momentum in the second to last lane and could not move. The Tahoe then switched to park and the electrical system kept shutting off and rebooting. This also resulted in the hazard lights turning off for brief moments in time, so it was not effectively alerting other travelers of our dysfunction. (this repeated for the next 30 minutes until the battery died. ) during that 30 minutes we were stuck in the lane with traffic buzzing around both sides of us honking and people screaming at us. My wife and 2 young children were upset and crying from the commotion. Poluce and emergency response team arrived, flagged traffic and drug the vehicle off the road. Car was stuck in park, with no ability to move to neutral. So tire rubber was smeared across the last 2 lanes and into the right shoulder. Later a tow truck arrived and hauled to dealership. The car had ~11,000 miles and bought the vehicle 2 months ago. This should not happen with new cars.

Engine, (6. 2 liter v8), quit without warning at highway speed, nearly causing head-on collision. Engine wouldn't re-start and needed to be towed to dealership on flatbed truck. Vehicle also wouldn't shift into neutral requiring it to be dragged onto flatbed. Chevy dealer states new engines are on backorder with no expected repair date.

Engine connecting rods and crankshaft have manufacture defects that could cause engine failure resulting in a crash. Driving in a large city with an infant and toddler makes the possibility of sudden engine failure extremely dangerous. It puts everyone in the vehicle at risk but especially the children at a huge safety risk. Engine makes odd sound but multiple chevy dealerships say they won't look at it because they don't have an answer from gm.

When we first purchased our 2023 Tahoe the engine was making a tiking noise we took it back and they told us it was because it was brand new time past engine always needs oil when we drive it u have to press gas pedal it also has electrical problems back camera turns on and off .
