Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Everytime it rains really hard, my drivers side b pillar where the handle and seat belt is, is soak and wet from a leak. This happens all the time. I have had my sunroof checked, my windshield checked and drain tubes checked. There is never any water or wetness on the floor, its only the headliner. This has been an on-going issue. I have been investigating if there are other tahoes doing the same and yes there are and 1 had went to a body shop and they found out that the manufacturer welds were not welded correctly, which causes water to get into the roof. …”
NHTSA complaint #11751098, filed 2026-07“I purchased a new 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe within the first year the sunroof started leaking. I had it repaired the first time in august. Second time it was repaired was in november. Nine days later, it leaked again. I took it back for the third repair and got it back 6 weeks later. December 21 I got it back and it leaked again the worst ever in 48 hours. Plus they did damage to the inside of my car. Some of the damages was cause by trying to get the old headliner out and the new one put in. …”

Each of the sides have lost a good amount of shine too but there hood and roof are a compete different color compared to the rest of the Tahoe.
