“My issue with the vehicle is that the reverse lights do not project enough and when backing up at night you can not see it or even with the back up camera.

“I've had my 2023 Tahoe for 15 months, purchased Dec. 2023 Issue #1. Dash message on start up Restraint System Needs Service .

I've narrowed it down to the passenger side reading light. When dash warning comes on, I press reading light, and whalla! all works fine. This has happened about 6 times over the last year. Issue #2. …”

“My 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe LS has experienced repeated service issues within the first year of ownership. The vehicle has been in the repair shop five separate times and out of service for approximately five months total. Due to extended repair periods, the mileage remains extremely low. A primary concern involved the steering system. The steering wheel was noticeably off-center while driving straight, requiring continuous correction to maintain proper lane position. Steering-related components were inspected and replaced. There were no warning lights present at the time. …”
