While traveling on I-684 at highway speed, my 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe with 43,000 miles suddenly shut off without warning and automatically shifted into neutral. I had a complete loss of propulsion. As a car guy who has been following the GM 6.2L engine recall issue, I suspected it could be that. I was traveling in the left lane and had to carefully coast across active lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder. My wife and two young children were in the vehicle, and the sudden loss of propulsion created a significant risk of collision. There were no warning illuminations, messages, or other symptoms…

Bale Chevrolet estimated approx. $10,000 repair bill * No. It's currently at the dealership * As the car began to shake we started receiving numerous warnings, but not prior to the shaking.
My vehicle received a software update which has caused my OnStar (safety) option to malfunction and has stopped working properly. There is an active recall for some vehicles but for some reason my specific year is not listed as one of the years for recall but has the exact issue.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) remedy was completed with an oil change and oil cap replacement.

Service manager just called and states that Chevrolet does not have that injector and on backorder with no date of expected delivery. No other Chevy dealer has #4 fuel injectors either. Tells me that there is an overwhelming demand for fuel…
Following a GM-initiated over-the-air (OTA) software update on May 18, 2026, my vehicle's windshield wipers became permanently inoperable — stuck in the "on" position with no ability to turn them off. This is not a gradual mechanical failure or wear-and-tear issue. The malfunction began immediately and directly as a result of a software update pushed by General Motors. Because the wipers cannot be controlled, I have been forced to remove the wiper fuse to make the vehicle driveable. This means I am currently operating a vehicle without functional windshield wipers — a federally mandated safety…
