2023 Chevrolet Tahoe

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.

Water pump failed. The part is on back order with an ETA of October 29. Vehicle is currently at the dealership. I received no alerts before failure.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with the GM 6.2-liter V8 engine. VIN: [XXX]. At approximately 40,000 miles, the original engine experienced a major failure and was completely replaced by a Chevrolet dealership under warranty. I have now driven fewer than 10,000 miles on the replacement engine and am experiencing a very similar engine-related problem again. The vehicle is currently back at the Chevrolet dealership being inspected and repaired. This is extremely concerning because the original engine failed at only approximately 40,000 miles, and the replacement engine has developed a similar problem after fewer than 10,000 miles. The GM 6.2-liter V8 has been the subject of numerous reported engine problems and complaints, and I believe this repeated failure warrants NHTSA’s attention. I am concerned there may be an underlying or recurring defect affecting these engines that has not been adequately addressed. I am also concerned about the potential safety implications of an engine or valvetrain failure while driving. An unexpected loss of power or significant mechanical failure could create a dangerous situation, particularly at highway speeds or in traffic. I can provide dealership documentation showing the original engine replacement, the mileage at which it occurred, and the current repair visit. This documentation establishes that the vehicle has experienced significant engine-related problems twice within a relatively short period, including a similar problem with the replacement engine after fewer than 10,000 miles. I respectfully request that NHTSA document this complaint and review whether there is a broader pattern of premature or repeated failures involving the GM 6.2-liter V8 used in 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles and whether further investigation or corrective action is warranted. Replacing the original engine did not resolve the issue, as the replacement engine has now developed a similar problem.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and was unable to restart. The message "Engine Overheating - Stop Driving Immediately" was displayed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who determined that the engine had failed, and the engine was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was 32,295.

We were driving on the highway and the engine started making a ticking noise and AFM light came on. Took the car to the dealership for inspection and they said the lifter had collapsed and it would cost $1000 to tear the engine down to see if the camshaft was damaged. Asked for the estimate to replace camshaft and lifters and they quoted $10,000.

Our Tahoe was included in the recall. The dealership inspected it, found no issue at the time, and told us to switch to a different oil viscosity, which we did. This vehicle has only ever been serviced at a Chevrolet dealership. On August 20th, while driving on the highway, the engine shut off without warning and we had to coast to the shoulder. We attempted to restart it several times, but the engine would not hold an idle. After shutting off all accessories, including the A/C and radio, the vehicle finally started. We brought it back to the dealership for inspection, and once again they could not find any issue. Today, September 14, 2026, we heard loud clanking coming from the engine. We pulled over immediately and had the truck towed to the dealership. At this point, we believe the engine is no longer serviceable and will need to be replaced. We do not believe the change in oil viscosity is an adequate fix for the 2022 to 2024 6.2L engines covered under the GM recall, including the one in our Tahoe. An engine dying without warning at highway speed is a serious safety hazard, and we were fortunate it didn't end in a collision.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated there was a misfire in the engine, with the engine warning light illuminated. The message “Collision Mitigation System Off” was displayed. There was a burning odor coming from the vehicle after the failure. The vehicle started shaking abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the lifter and crankshaft needed to be replaced. The contact purchased a rebuilt engine, and the engine was replaced at another service center. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Hard shudder when driving between 45 to 50 mph and when you decelerate around 12 to 15 mph. Inspected at Lond Lewis Chevrolet stated and now being inspected by Bentley Chevrolet due to Lond Lewis Chevrolet doing absolute nothing. Tahoe has 23,000 miles currently. Bought new one owner always serviced as should.
