NHTSA complaint #11574731, filed 2024-02“OEM Running boards, non powered. It is available for inspection. The running boards are slippery evetime they are wet. Does not matter what shoes you have. I have slipped 4 times since owned the vehicle and even broke the interior panel of my driver side door in 2023 which lead to a$500 repair bill. My wife and I both slipped today (1/26/26) and bruised pretty bad. Kids have also slipped in the past. No, it was not inspected or reproduced but dealer did say its a common problem they see with the OEM running boards. No, it was not inspected by the dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #11713404, filed 2026-01“I was driving down the road at roughly 30 mph when my fuel tank dropped. The front fuel tank strap fell off and the bolt was gone. The fuel tank drug on the road, which prompted me to stop driving. There are scrapes on the front of the fuel tank and the strap was bent. This is a huge safety concern because had the fuel tank cracked or fell off completely this could have caused a fire. Had we been traveling at higher speeds, this could have been a very serious accident. The potential for gasoline or diesel to ignite was absolutely present. …”
NHTSA complaint #11663403, filed 2025-05“Sun roof exploded while driving. Temps were not extreme, there were no significant pressure changes. Sun roof had no prior damage. Looking online multiple people reported the sun roof exploding on 2023 tahoes and suburbans.”
NHTSA complaint #11722933, filed 2026-03“The sunroof drains continue to fail. I’ve had multiple occasions where the car has had drains back up or be disconnected.. This is a safety issue because it creates mold as water falls in the headliner and then the cabin. It also creates rust, particularly behind the dashboard. That’s not rust proof. Despite being under warranty, the dealers are useless and helping address the issue because it’s la design flaw. The multiple water intrusions also affect the electronics in the vehicle., potentially disabling critical features like airbags and safety systems.”
