Overall A Great Vehicle, But Needs Improvement

Overall, we have been impressed with our 2016 Tahoe. We are especially impressed with the design of the interior and the technology packaging. The infotainment is very easy to use and is very responsive. Although we would rate this vehicle at 5 out of 5 stars, we have had some interior quality and safety tech issues. Within the first month of owning our Tahoe, the lane keeping assist and forward collision alert simply quit working. We took it in to our dealership where they kept out Tahoe for at least 2 weeks and were very thorough with the investigation and solution to the problem. Our interior quality problem is very minor, but we have never had this problem with any Ford, Toyota, or Mazda we have owned. The problem is the plastic pieces in the bottom of the door pulls keep popping out and is very annoying. We have had them replaced to try to solve the issue of them fitting, but they keep popping out. As far as performance and road manners, the Tahoe seems to be stable and has ample power. Our only complaint about the powertrain is the transmission, which is very quick to upshift when accelerating. The main issue is when we want to take off with a certain amount of throttle, then add more throttle, which causes the transmission to seemingly hesitate and jerk into the next gear when the transmission should hold the previous gear longer. Overall, the 2016 Tahoe is a practical and useful full size SUV, but GM needs to make powertrain and interior quality improvements. An 8 speed transmission may be the solution to the transmission issue over the current 6 speed.

Absolutely Awful!! Rides rougher than a sled, electronics lethargic! Transmission shifting weird! Last Chevy I’ll purchase after forty yrs of loyalty I’m just disgusted! It rides so rough it broke the ac condenser and is beginning to develope squeaking in the cabin after 20k miles! Please avoid for your own sake!

all electrical issues major radio went out 3x finding out their is a recall, transmission jerky feels like goin to die when coming to a stop, replaced head light, air condiotning system went out and water drips heavily from right gear shift when using air conditioning, air filter is directly facing right gear shift not normal i believe is a factory defect, top interior filters fall out often not sure why or maybe because they do not fit properly the battery to this extra large vehicle is only good for 3 years or 36,000 miles was told cannot handle all tahoe elecrtical system (dont know what that means) to much and they have seen a lot of vehicles come in, needed a software update for radio if radio doesnt work back camera doesnt ignition can be affected doors, top right exterior fin had to be replaced became loose from driving on the freeway flapping all the way home.. can go on and on but im sure everyone has same problems

Where do I begin!! I traded my Sequoia in for the 2016 fully loaded, every option available, Tahoe LTZ. After having it for a couple of days, I had a chance to really see the "non-thought" that went into this vehicle. This really is not a 7 passenger vehicle. I can honestly say it is a 4 vehicle passenger with very little leg room for whoever is sitting in the 2nd row. The outside of the vehicle is awesome. It's the inside that has it's faults! I have 5 kids that need to get in and out of this vehicle. (Mostly 4 of them ride with me when they need to. I have 6 kids total and thank goodness when I had them all riding with me I had the Sequoia. Tons of room and all seats were adjustable, including the third row in the Sequoia!) The seats in the Tahoe are stationary and DO NOT MOVE forward or backward to allow for ANY legroom whatsoever or even to allow passengers to get in and out of the car easily. My kids hate getting in and out of the vehicle because it is so ridiculous and they end up tripping inside the car getting to the back seat. The 2nd row seating (I have bucket seats) has NO legroom at all. The bucket seats do not adjust to sit up completely straight, so there is a lean to the seat and if you rest your back on the seat it feels like you are laying down a little bit. There is just a few inches of leg room behind the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. And if the driver adjusts his seat all the way back, well, forget it, you're down to just a couple inches of room with your knees hitting the back of the driver's seat. Not to mention, whoever gets in the second row seats has to squeeze in to begin with. NO ROOM AT ALL for passengers behind the driver and front passenger. The third row seat is pretty useless unless you have extremely small kids. It is very uncomfortable as well. The floor where the backseat is, has a platform, so you feel like your knees are up to your chin when sitting back there. If this was just a married couple with no kids, this car is perfect! You must have the headrests up when sitting in the 3rd row as well. If the headrests are up and the dvd screen is down, there is NO visibility in the rear hatch window. If the kids get out of the car and leave the headrests up, you have the blind spots in the back window, which is a pain for the driver. Also, the headrests are a little difficult to get down. Definitely would be for little kids. The lighting in this car is not very good. It is ok, very shadowy kind of lighting, but my main complaint is that there is no light in the trunk area. It is almost hard to believe Chevy did not think to put a light in the trunk. Even my sister's GMC Acadia (which cost half of the Tahoe) has a trunk light when the hatch is opened. (The back seats on the GMC are adjustable, too) The Tahoe is so dark at night in the trunk, you cannot see anything. Literally. This has been a real problem, especially coming home and I have a bunch of groceries in the back. There is not a lot of storage places, etc. in this vehicle. The storage areas in the doors are very thin and hard to get things out of if you put something in them. Not a lot of convenient storage, period. Could use more cup holders, too. If you are taking a vacation and do not have the third row seat folded down, there is room for just a couple small suitcases. My Tahoe has been to the dealership several times now regarding the radio, bluetooth and lane departure features. It would take way too long to describe the problems, but the dealership is fixing them with no questions asked and hopefully soon it will once and for all be fixed. Mainly did this review to give you a feel for the interior of the vehicle, especially if you have kids. This is a great looking vehicle and would be great for when the kids are grown up and not riding with me anymore, but until then, there are other SUV's that would have been more comfortable and more convenient than the Tahoe!!
