LEMON - JUNK - WATER LEAKING INTO VEHICLE

I love love love this vehicle. HOWEVER, I have had it in for service now 3 times. There have been several recalls but the real issue is the WATER LEAK. This is the 2nd time I have had it in for the WATER LEAK and they cannot seem to resolve the issue. The last time I had it in for service for the leak, the dealership had it for over a week. The dealership has it now and has had it yet another week with no date in sight to get it back. I cannot believe I paid over $62K for a vehicle and I am having all of these issues. On top of that, I ordered floor mats from GMC/CHEVY and they do NOT fit. I am very disappointed and at this point getting PISSED! I've waited my whole life to have a vehicle this nice and it's JUNK!

Special ordered my 2021 Tahoe Z71 in October 2020 and finally received delivery December 2020. I absolutely loved this vehicle. Notice I said loved! Just before my first oil change, I noticed a strange noise while driving and sluggish performance when driving to work. We called our Chevy guy and he said to bring Tahoe in for a known issue, lifter failure possible caused from oil pressure issues—DFM is going to kill Chevy sells! Just under 6000 miles with 21% oil life left. Dash never lit up to warn of any issues at the time. Later on, when my husband came to take Tahoe in, he said every light on the dash was blinking. Not sure how long it’ll take to get parts to fix. Hoping it’s a one time thing. Based on other reviews, probably not. I’ll remain hopeful since it’s still under warranty. I’d really love my money back for something more reliable. FYI—my 2004 Tahoe still drives like a champ. We’ve all been fooled!

I am an Active Duty Military member who dreamed of owning a Tahoe since my first deployment back in 2010. It took me 11 years to finally take the leap and buy my dream car. I bought my custom ordered Tahoe in March 2021 and to say I was excited is an understatement. It wasn’t until June that I noticed my Tahoe was leaking water through all four areas where the seatbelts come out. I heard a swishing noise and then both of my children (one being a newborn) starting crying from getting water poured on them along with water covering most areas of my vehicle. There was enough water that it saturated a towel and I knew at that moment something was very wrong with my vehicle. I immediately called the dealership and the earliest they could get me in was 3 days later. When I brought my vehicle in, they had it for the entire day and could not find the source of leaking and chalked it up to possible condensation. It was less than two weeks later (19 June 2021) the same thing happened again besides even more water came in and I was able to take a video of water pouring from the seatbelts and my dash. I called the dealership again and brought it in on 21 June 2021. Knowing the vehicle was leaking the dealership left my vehicle outside until the afternoon of 23 June 2021 in which multiple rainstorms occurred prior to them bringing it inside. On 19 June 2021, I called GM customer service and a case was created. Over the next 44 days my vehicle was in the shop getting repaired. A new sunroof frame had to be installed amongst other repairs and I had to beg GM to conduct third party mold inspection which came back positive. Being that I have two children, one new to this world and the other who gets sick very easily and is prone to respiratory issues, I needed GM to do right by my children and make sure they wouldn’t be impacted by their negligence. I requested GM replace my vehicle, instead they had it professionally cleaned and retested in which it came back negative. I am concerned mold could still be internal to all seats and internal to the dashboard since those areas were not cleaned or couldn’t be. I received my vehicle back today and the best offer GM could do was possibly cover 1 to 2 of my car payments. My vehicle also sustained damage to multiple areas requiring it to be repainted in several areas (we're waiting for appointment). Buyers I urge you to use caution when buying this type of vehicle or any vehicle from Chevy/GM. Their customer service is very poor and they will do anything to avoid fully resolving an issue they caused.

Stranded Twice Already

I received the 2021 Z71 Tahoe in December. For the most part this vehicle has been amazing and a total please to use from the Florida Keys to the Smoky Mountain. This vehicle was purchased for long trips and vacations since I work from home I'm rarely using it in the city. On one particular long trip I was stranded in Jacksonville, 8 hours from my home. The latest was last weekend Memorial Day which left me in Melbourne Florida after coming back from the Smoky Mountains where I camped without reception for two days. Both times the issue was in the engine with lifters, cylinders, intake valve springs and engine misfires breaking. As stated by "lemon" titled review it showed an error with traction control and emissions systems failing. The vehicle broke down both times on highways which made it particularly dangerous as it stalls and begins shaking with no power output from the engine. I can't stress enough the frustration this vehicle has brought as i have had to cancel vacations which take weeks to secure. Loosing personal time and money because they never pay you back for the time loss. Save all your receipts and be prepared to pay out of pocket to get back home if you're on a trip because they rarely have available loaners and budget to pay you only for a small vehicle rental to see yourself home and have the audacity to require you to drive back up to pick up your vehicle wherever the nearest Chevy that "fixed it" is.

Forgo the fancy suspension options

Recently purchased Tahoe Z71 trim. I have read many reviews from multiple trusted auto journalists and many of them mention their test vehicle was equipped with the optional magnetic ride and air suspension options. My Tahoe Z71 is not equipped with either option (hence my ability to purchase one..$$) but instead the basic suspension - Chevrolet simply refers to it as "Premium Smooth Ride Suspension" on the build sheet. My first jaunt in the vehicle was 100 miles up old Route 66 near my home. The road is far from perfect, and I did not experience any of the ill mannered ride qualities that many auto journalists have noted during their test drives of the Tahoe with the added premium suspension options. In fact it felt very still and quiet the entire trip down and up old Route 66. It should be noted that I traded a 2018 Grand Cherokee Summit that was equipped with air ride suspension similar to what the Tahoe can be equipped with. I recommend if you are interested in a Tahoe, to drive one without the fancy suspension package options. You can save some serious money by forgoing that option and frankly, from my experience, I think the better riding suspension is actually the basic package! It is unfortunate that Chevrolet gave every single auto journalist the Magnetic & Air Ride equipped Tahoe's for test drives, as nearly all of them have noted it just didn't feel right. I have yet to run across any auto reviews of the base Tahoe without those options. However, I believe the best factor for ride quality is to select a 20" wheel option instead of the 22". My biggest gripes with the 2021 Tahoe is two things. For a $65k vehicle, it should be equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control, and built in navigation. My Tahoe has neither! Adaptive Cruise Control can only be had by upgrading to the High Country model, and then adding that as an option!! Ridiculous!! My Tahoe also does not have built in navigation. You either have to connect your phone via apple carplay or andriod auto and use your phone's, or you have to subscribe to the OnStar turn by turn navigation - also ridiculous! Some perks that are very nice about the vehicle is the WIRELESS Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. No more connecting your phone via the aux cord to connect the Apple CarPlay! CarPlay connects automatically-wirelessly! Genius! This makes not having built-in navigation almost forgivable. The brakes are excellent - they have a strong initial bite which I like in brakes. The Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner A/T tires are super quiet and frankly I was surprised that at least inside the vehicle was actually quieter than my Grand Cherokee Summit with Pirelli AllSeason's. Another thing to consider if you are considering a Z71 trim... do some research on the LSD (Limited Slip Differential). The Chevrolet comes with a "mechanical LSD". I have learned that the main difference between the Z71 and the AT4 (Yukon), is in the LSD. Chevrolet utilizes an older style mechanical LSD, where the AT4 utilizes an electronic LSD. There are a couple videos online that explain the difference - refer to TFLoffroad & Truck King on YouTube. It seems that the electronic LSD is a much better system than the older style mechanical LSD. On TFLOffRoad, they tested the Z71's LSD up a mountain in Colorado, and the LSD never seemed to kick in for them during their test. TFLOffroad later tested the AT4 with the electronic LSD and it seemed to work like a charm during that test. Nothing that bothers me too much to sway me from the Z71, but something that is not advertised to the public when trying to differentiate between the Z71 and AT4. This may be important for those who are serious about off roading and are considering the Z71 or AT4. The vehicle is still new to me and I might update this review later down the road if anything comes to mind to be added.
