2021 RST Tahoe with Engine Lifter Failure

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe RST 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

I have loved this vehicle until yesterday! Bought it in January 2021 so not even 6 months old and has less than 6500 miles on it. This vehicle left me stranded. Driving down the interstate, I heard popping noises and the drive becomes very rough. Three messages appear alerting me to problems with the traction, collision system and engine emissions. The idle was akin to sitting on a tractor...very loud and rough. OnStar performed diagnostics and suggested it was safe to drive but needed servicing within 7 days. Tried to make it home but felt very unsafe so had to pull off the road again and get it towed. Luckily, the ONLY thing that was positive was the dealership's rapid response in helping me. I'm very anxious to drive this car now and am scared that I will be stranded again. Per the reviews here and in other forums, this has happened with some regularity. Why no recall? Why is this not being addressed? Not impressed Chevrolet.......

Already in the shop

First, I love my 2021 Z71 Tahoe, however given that it cost over $70,000 and currently has only 9,000, I'm second guessing if I want to keep it after if gets out of the shop. Started with acting sluggish, then loud popping sound, then check engine light, then ESC light, then received alert to check the emissions system. Immediately took it to the Chevrolet dealer where it was purchased and right away the mechanic said "let me guess, 2021 Tahoe with about 10,000 miles" he already had 9 in there waiting for parts, mine is number 10. He has enough parts for 3, therefore as of right now he said I'm probably 6 weeks out. There's no loaners available, and we're all still making payments plus have to get a rental all due to an obvious Chevy issue. Chevrolet needs to do the right thing, it's called customer service, we have 4 Chevys in our driveway right now including a 2020 Silverado 2500 High Country (which has had brake issues and radio issues since 5,000 miles), if this is the kind of product Chevy is making now, these will be my last Chevy purchases.

As many have stated on here about the sputtering, shaking and lights going off like crazy, today it happened to me. Third time the car has been in the shop and have had it for about 7 months.

WHOA!!!

I know it seems like a lot to pay for a 2021 Z71 Tahoe fully loaded. But after getting it a driving it around I think it is worth every penny. Me and the wife love the ride, quietness and all the extras. We couldn't be any happier.

Lane Changing Device is a safety hazard.

Lane changing device is supposed to allow no hands driving. My new 2021 Chevy Tahoe Lane Changing Device overcorrects and forces the vehicle to run off of the road to the right or runs to the left onto oncoming traffic. No matter what GMC advertizes do not take your hands off of the steering wheel. My new Tahoe already has six (6) recalls and each time the dealerships advised that the Lane Changing Device is working correctly.
