“I purchased this vehicle used in the fall of 2019 at a used car dealers lot in oregon. In the summer of 2019 we started experiencing random no start problems. The first incidence we thought it was a faulty starter even though we could jump/short it across the terminal, and start the vehicle. After replacing the vehicles starter with a remanufactured non GM starter, we started having more no start problems. Remedy was arcing the starter posts across one another, and then vehicle would crank and start. …”
NHTSA complaint #11299514, filed 2020-01, 86,000 miles“Tahoe slams back into 2nd gear, gauges drop to zero and can only go about 5mph. The traction control and ABS light comes on and the radio turns on and off by its self also the lock will go up and down. This happens out of the blue 3 times going highway speeds. The speedometer will go up and down as well. If I slow down to pull over and try to pick up speed to get over th gas petal seems to not respond.I've been fighting this issue since may of 2018 and it has been in the shop off and on many many times and is currently in the shop for the same thing.. …”
NHTSA complaint #11154889, filed 2018-11, 238,000 miles“We have a 2010 Tahoe. 3 years ago we replaced the battery. After that the vehicle has been having the following issues. 1. Every 3-4 months the car dies while driving. Door locks, lights, radio, etc turn on and off rapidly while driving. Loss of power, steering wheel and brakes becomes stiffi.

Battery dies when car is parked. 3. Key remote sometimes work and sometimes it doesn't. …”
NHTSA complaint #11012005, filed 2017-08, 20 miles“We purchased a new 2010 chevy Tahoe with a trailer package. When we plugged the trailer plug in, we found that the no electricity was transmitted to the trailer lights and brakes. When we brought to vehicle to a chevy dealer, they informed us that the wires were not connected at the fuse box. We believe this is safety problem and a manufacturing defect. Even worse the dealer claimed that this safety defect was not covered by the warranty because we did not ask for the wires to be connected to the fuse box when we bought the car. We were shocked at this convoluted argument. …”
