First Brand New CAR EVER!!!

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

My husband bought me a Chevy Tahoe 2021 premier for Xmas!! I was so excited and grateful. I noticed right when he drives it in the driveway it was leaking oil and something was burning. I called the dealer who we got it from I made an an appointment mind you the car had 21 miles on it now. On the way to the dealership driving on the highway the car started to smoke I had smoke coming out the hood. They told me the housing for oil compartment was not installed right!!! So clearly this meant the car was not receiving oil so that to me meant future engine problems I’ve had 3 recalls on brake system backseat buckle and the car has absolutely no pick up and my oil gage goes up and down between 0 and 60 also the battery gage goes between 9 and 14 clearly there is something wrong!! The day after we got it I told them I wanted a different one and he told me it’s more complicated then that I can’t just be given a new car they sold me a car that has so many problems and for the amount of money spent to me that’s just insane. I love this Tahoe but not the problems it has thanks General MOtors

Huge improvement except for gas mileage

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

I had a 2009 Tahoe that was a fantastic car and got me over 200k miles with few issues. Love the new Z71. Interior is great, looks stunning, tech has a few kinks, but otherwise great. Nice ride and the increase in interior space is great. My biggest complaint is the gas mileage. Worse than my 2009 5.3 by a lot! I’ve got 12k on mine in 6 months and just took it on a 2000+ mile road trip. No trailer, no rack, nothing on the top. Granted I can guess the aero and tires of the Z71 don’t help with gas mileage, and I was averaging 80 mpg but I was getting 14.5 mpg or less... much worse than my 2009 and frankly disappointing. Makes me think there might be something wrong with it. My 2009 even with 200k + on it would have done at least 17 mpg. Disappointing enough that I’m seriously thinking about dumping it. Big miss on the fuel economy!

Only modern vehicle I’ve ever seen doesn’t offer fog lights...in any trim package. Overall, the vehicle is nice

I just bought the 2021 Tahoe yesterday after a ton of research. I’m thrilled and can’t wait for our first road trip to get outta dodge. So much space, so much technology, a smooth ride and a great sound system so far

Problems with Emissions

Sandy, 05/22/2021
2021 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

I bought a new 2021 High Country Tahoe with the diesel engine. Everything seemed to work perfect the first week I had the car and then the check engine light came on giving an error message that the emissions need service. The first time, the dealer had the car in the shop for four days because they could not figure out what was wrong and eventually said that they needed to download some software updates to the system and they put 70 mile on the vehicle. The very next day after I got the vehicle back, I get the same error message so now it is currently sitting in the shop where they are telling me they still cannot figure out the issue. I have had the vehicle 2 1/2 weeks and it has been in the shop for one week , half of the time I have owned the vehicle. This was the most expensive vehicle I ever purchased and yet the most issues I ever had with a new vehicle. This was the first Chevy I bought in over 20 years and now I remember why I never purchased a chevy.
