The dealership diagnosed the truck after investigating a ticking noise and engine misfire. During the inspection, they removed the valve cover and found that one of the pushrods on cylinder #5 was bent. Further disassembly revealed that both lifters on cylinder #5 had failed, causing excessive wear on the camshaft lobe. As a result, the dealership determined that the necessary repair was to replace the camshaft and all 16 lifters. The engine was then cleaned, reassembled, and tested to ensure proper operation. The root cause of the issue appears to have been a failing lifter, which led to…
Driving my vehicle on the interstate at 70mph when the transmission made a hard downshift and brought my wife, two children, an infant and toddler, and I to a very sudden 40mph.Before I was able to find a shoulder to pull over the transmission fluid overheated and vehicle would no longer change gears. I then towed it to the dealership where purchased originally. Vehicle was then towed to and diagnosed at a Chevrolet dealership where ultimately resulted in a valve body and clutch failure.

The suspension system on the 2022 Tahoe has been defective. It started as a creaking noise we took for repair, the dealership said it was a strut. Creaking noise continued took to another shop they said creaking came from ball joints being bad.

My 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with the 5.3L V8 experienced a severe engine failure at approximately 92,144 miles. The vehicle developed multiple misfires and was towed to the Chevrolet dealership for diagnosis. The dealership documented a failed lifter, significant camshaft damage, metal in the engine oil, and metal contamination throughout the engine. The engine had to be replaced with a complete long block at a total cost of approximately $14,395. I am concerned because this was a major internal engine failure at relatively low mileage, involving a lifter and resulting in extensive engine…
Vehicle began making loud knocking sound XXX Towed to dealer 9/8 after holiday. They found metal in the oil and believe it needs an engine replacement. A week later I have no answers, there's no loaners available, so I am just without a car. We bought car from Zimbrick Chevy in [XXX]. It was never disclosed to us that the vehicle had an engine replacement right before we purchased. New engine lasted about 16,000 miles. Only once we saw the history of the car in the current dealership's service app did we learn about the engine replacement. This is beyond unacceptable! INFORMATION REDACTED…
Car has a parasitic draw and is on its second battery in 3 years. The dealer can’t seem to fix the issue and shows little concern to find the issue. Dangerous to get stranded somewhere or in the cold. It’s erratic when it decides to kill the battery and not safe.
was moving vehicles around in driveway and vehicle was running and in parked position in the driveway on slight hill and after 4-5 mins of sitting there idle vehicle rolled down the hill towards kids playing and struck another vehicle. when i got back into vehicle, the vehicle was in park and the reverse lights and reverse camera were on while the vehicle was in park.
The vehicle has service driver assistance system warning. The seat vibration is not working and I believe there are issues with the sensor and or harness. There have been recalls on previous years of this vehicle for the same thing. There have been a wave of these lately, according to the dealership working on the vehicle. Parts availability is currently low because of this resulting in longer repair times. This is a key safety feature of the vehicle and must be repaired quickly. Unsuspecting users may expect warnings before collisions that may not happen.
