Description of the safety problem On XXX, shortly after starting the vehicle and beginning to drive, I attempted to apply the brakes and discovered that they had essentially frozen up and were not functioning properly. At the same time the vehicle displayed the following warnings: Service ESC, ABS warning light, brake system warning light, "Trailer Brakes Disabled – Service Required," traction/stability control warning, and check engine light. I shut the vehicle off and restarted it. After the restart the brakes appeared to function normally again and most warning indicators disappeared. However, the check engine light remains illuminated, and I have noticed a slight hesitation when starting the vehicle. I have photographs of the warnings taken at approximately 21,029 miles. Relevant history This vehicle was purchased new. The original 6.2L engine suffered a catastrophic failure at approximately 18,685 miles while traveling at highway speed and was replaced under warranty. None of the current problems existed before that engine replacement. Since the replacement, the vehicle has experienced multiple electrical failures, including windshield wipers becoming inoperative while driving in rain, intermittent loss of electrical power and starting problems, steering-related and collision-system warnings, and tire-pressure warning discrepancies. During a recent dealership visit to Ourisman Chevrolet (service advisor [XXX]) for multiple electrical malfunctions, I was told the problem was simply that the battery needed to be charged. The problems have continued, culminating in the XXX braking malfunction. Request I am reporting this as a potential safety defect affecting the braking, stability control, and electrical systems of this vehicle, and I request that NHTSA record and review this complaint.

The car had the recall done for the engine issues 1 year ago. Pico test past and oil was changed to new oil. All service is handled by Chevrolet dealer. Now the issue. After leaving home and driving on a highway for about 25 minutes I received lights on the dashboard indicating. Several issues. Flashing engine light, ecm issue amoung some others. I then noticed what sounded like a missfire of the engine. Since I was on my way out of town I decided to turn around and take directly to dealer. I dropped the car off. When I finally turned the car off at the dealer lot and restarted it I also noticed metal clanging coming from engine. The next day I was texted by the dealer that I would be getting a new engine. Car has 78,644 miles.

I was picking my Tahoe up after a replacement on the blown motor was complete. (L87) I started it and immediately knew something was wrong. I reported it to the service advisor and the response was there were no warning lights so it must be fine. I asked them to sit in my car and they agreed it was not running right. They took it back and replaced a sparkplug that was causing the #2 cylinder to misfire. Almost 3 months later I was driving on the freeway when my Tahoe felt like it was going to stall. Again I had no warning lights appear. The diagnostics showed the same #2 cylinder misfiring caused by another sparkplug issue. This is all within 2,500 miles on a brand new engine.

While traveling on I-684 at highway speed, my 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe with 43,000 miles suddenly shut off without warning and automatically shifted into neutral. I had a complete loss of propulsion. As a car guy who has been following the GM 6.2L engine recall issue, I suspected it could be that. I was traveling in the left lane and had to carefully coast across active lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder. My wife and two young children were in the vehicle, and the sudden loss of propulsion created a significant risk of collision. There were no warning illuminations, messages, or other symptoms that I observed prior to the failure. The vehicle was subsequently towed to my Chevrolet dealer for diagnosis and is available for inspection upon request. As confirmed by the dealer, the engine completely seized causing the loss of propulsion. I will also share, about 1 year ago after the GM recall was issued, I took my truck back to the dealer. They cleared the engine for the propulsion issue, changed the oil for 0W40 and changed the oil fill cap in line with GM recall standards.

Since the vehicle was new in 2023 we have had constant issues with the park aid cameras. One of the mirrors goes out all the time, the infotainment image flickers pick or is just straight black with a red x and no camera image that you can’t even escape out of to get back to the vehicle controls when your back in drive. I had it to the dealer about 6 months after I bought it and allegedly threw everything at it including the kitchen sink. Worked for awhile and then started again. Had it back to the dealer nov of 25, kept it for 4 months, replaced a camera and it’s been broken since I picked it up intermittently.

I am filing this safety complaint regarding the sudden and unexpected transmission failure of my 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe at approximately 110,000 miles. My transmission failed without any warning, creating a serious and frightening safety concern. There was no advance indication that I was about to experience a major mechanical failure. A transmission failing unexpectedly creates the potential for an extremely dangerous situation, particularly when traveling at highway speeds, navigating intersections or driving in heavy traffic. I purchased this vehicle brand new and have consistently had it serviced at Bergstrom Chevrolet of Madison. My maintenance history includes approximately 20 dealership visits between January 2023 and July 2026. Despite this extensive service history, the transmission failed less than four years after I purchased the vehicle. I am extremely concerned that such a critical component could fail without warning. An unexpected transmission failure can put the driver, passengers and surrounding motorists at risk, particularly if the vehicle suddenly loses its ability to accelerate or maintain speed. The Chevrolet dealership diagnosed the transmission failure and provided an estimate of approximately $7,500 for replacement. I contacted General Motors to report the failure and request assistance. GM denied my request solely because the vehicle had exceeded its warranty mileage. When I asked whether the decision could be appealed, I was told no appeal was available. My primary concern is the safety implications of this unexpected failure. I believe this incident warrants investigation to determine whether other owners of 2023 Chevrolet Tahoes may be at risk of experiencing similar transmission failures without warning. I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident and determine whether a potential transmission safety defect exists.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with the GM 6.2-liter V8 engine. VIN: [XXX]. At approximately 40,000 miles, the original engine experienced a major failure and was completely replaced by a Chevrolet dealership under warranty. I have now driven fewer than 10,000 miles on the replacement engine and am experiencing a very similar engine-related problem again. The vehicle is currently back at the Chevrolet dealership being inspected and repaired. This is extremely concerning because the original engine failed at only approximately 40,000 miles, and the replacement engine has developed a similar problem after fewer than 10,000 miles. The GM 6.2-liter V8 has been the subject of numerous reported engine problems and complaints, and I believe this repeated failure warrants NHTSA’s attention. I am concerned there may be an underlying or recurring defect affecting these engines that has not been adequately addressed. I am also concerned about the potential safety implications of an engine or valvetrain failure while driving. An unexpected loss of power or significant mechanical failure could create a dangerous situation, particularly at highway speeds or in traffic. I can provide dealership documentation showing the original engine replacement, the mileage at which it occurred, and the current repair visit. This documentation establishes that the vehicle has experienced significant engine-related problems twice within a relatively short period, including a similar problem with the replacement engine after fewer than 10,000 miles. I respectfully request that NHTSA document this complaint and review whether there is a broader pattern of premature or repeated failures involving the GM 6.2-liter V8 used in 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles and whether further investigation or corrective action is warranted. Replacing the original engine did not resolve the issue, as the replacement engine has now developed a similar problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

We were driving on the highway and the engine started making a ticking noise and AFM light came on. Took the car to the dealership for inspection and they said the lifter had collapsed and it would cost $1000 to tear the engine down to see if the camshaft was damaged.

Our Tahoe was included in the recall. The dealership inspected it, found no issue at the time, and told us to switch to a different oil viscosity, which we did. This vehicle has only ever been serviced at a Chevrolet dealership. On August 20th, while driving on the highway, the engine shut off without warning and we had to coast to the shoulder. We attempted to restart it several times, but the engine would not hold an idle. After shutting off all accessories, including the A/C and radio, the vehicle finally started. We brought it back to the dealership for inspection, and once again they could not find any issue. Today, September 14, 2026, we heard loud clanking coming from the engine. We pulled over immediately and had the truck towed to the dealership. At this point, we believe the engine is no longer serviceable and will need to be replaced. We do not believe the change in oil viscosity is an adequate fix for the 2022 to 2024 6.2L engines covered under the GM recall, including the one in our Tahoe. An engine dying without warning at highway speed is a serious safety hazard, and we were fortunate it didn't end in a collision.

A couple weeks ago, the truck suddenly started running rough and the front collision avoidance system failure message displayed. Immediately took it to the dealership. Computer read out showed #7 fuel injector failed. Repaired and was fine. Yesterday, 8/27/26, same thing happened again. Immediately went to the dealership. Now #4 fuel injector failed. Service manager just called and states that Chevrolet does not have that injector and on backorder with no date of expected delivery. No other Chevy dealer has #4 fuel injectors either. Tells me that there is an overwhelming demand for fuel injectors that indicates a defect. Meanwhile, the truck is out of service and GM is not addressing the issue to replace all the defective injectors.

The subject engine failures were investigated as part of a Preliminary Evaluation (PE25001). GM determined that these engine failures were due to multiple supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the supplier manufacturing and quality issues produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. Based on the issuance of recall 25V-274, NHTSA has closed PE25001. ODI continues to receive a significant number of reports of engine failure in vehicles outside the scope of 25V-274. This presents a potential safety risk that warrants further investigation. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis (EA) to further evaluate the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues of vehicles built outside the recall scope.

On January 16, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE25001 after receiving complaints and field reports concerning engine failures in MY2019-2024 GM’s full-size truck and SUV T1XX platform equipped with the L87 6.2L V8 engine. These complainants alleged engine bearing failures resulting in knocking and growling noises from the engine’s bottom end and in some cases more severe consequences such as broken connecting rods leading to engine damage, or engine failure. If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. On April 24, 2025, GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the concern with L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM’s recall remedy will be either an oil change to an oil with a different viscosity or engine replacement depending on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. To date, ODI has received 1,157 allegations of engine bearing failure. GM submitted 55,464 reports in total, with 29,752 unique VINs. ODI continues to receive allegations of L87 engine failures which fall outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. Based on GM’s recall, ODI will close this PE. NHTSA will continue to investigate complaints of engine failure outside the scope of recall 25V-274 as part ofEngineering Analysis (EA25007).
