2018 Chevrolet Tahoe “$8,200 Engine Repair”

I would never purchase a General Motors vehicle after my first experience with Chevrolet. I had to replace the 5.3 engine at two years old due to the fuel management system / DOD damaging the engine from the 8 to 4 cylinder mode. I made a case with General Motors. They gave the run around for almost 4 months. They told me that they would reimburse my costs of the engine then decided that they wouldn’t. I even had issues out of the new 5.3 engine. It stalled on my wife multiple times. General Motors will not do any thing about it. General Motors said that they didn’t care. They basically said that they were not worried about safety.

Worst new car experience

I've never had a new vehicle at the dealership for warranty work as much as this junk. Within the first month I had water flowing out of the overhead console due to the antenna leaking. Also the trim piece under the wipers was warped. Both were replaced by the dealership and I was reassured that it wouldn't leak again. Four months later and both issues were back and repaired. Eight months in and the 10 speed transmission is acting up as well as the parking sensors, blind spot monitoring and theft deterrent systems going haywire. This is definitely my last new GM purchase and I look forward to the lease ending.

Second bad experience with Chevrolet

2018 Tahoe Premier - After 50,000 miles both front and rear shocks were shot. Cost $4,000 to replace them. Chevrolet acknowledged it is a bad experience at only 50,000 miles, but did nothing after researching for 5 weeks. Bad experience all around. My prior car 2016 Suburban had transmission go out at 100,000 miles. These cars are poorly made!

Toxic SUV!

2017 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 6A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

I got my Tahoe used Oct 2021. It only had 54k miles which is not bad for a 2017 i needed space so i traded in my Highlander for my Now Suv Tahoe. Worse mistake of my life! The only thing good about these cars are looks! had to replace the a/c condenser within 3 months $1,000! and now its still making growling noises when the a/c is still on so I'm thinking either actuator or worse scenario compressor just great. There is also rattling noises when i accelerate its just the most toxic car ever owned and i honestly wanted one so bad because it seemed so spacious and big never thinking of the big problems it was going to give me. all of these noises are common in tahoes now that i read more reviews on catalytic converters, a/c. Never again GM. such a waste.
