The dealership diagnosed the truck after investigating a ticking noise and engine misfire. During the inspection, they removed the valve cover and found that one of the pushrods on cylinder #5 was bent. Further disassembly revealed that both lifters on cylinder #5 had failed, causing excessive wear on the camshaft lobe. As a result, the dealership determined that the necessary repair was to replace the camshaft and all 16 lifters. The engine was then cleaned, reassembled, and tested to ensure proper operation. The root cause of the issue appears to have been a failing lifter, which led to damage of the associated valvetrain components.

Driving my vehicle on the interstate at 70mph when the transmission made a hard downshift and brought my wife, two children, an infant and toddler, and I to a very sudden 40mph.Before I was able to find a shoulder to pull over the transmission fluid overheated and vehicle would no longer change gears. I then towed it to the dealership where purchased originally. Vehicle was then towed to and diagnosed at a Chevrolet dealership where ultimately resulted in a valve body and clutch failure.

The suspension system on the 2022 Tahoe has been defective. It started as a creaking noise we took for repair, the dealership said it was a strut. Creaking noise continued took to another shop they said creaking came from ball joints being bad. The service transmission light comes on and off, service safety restraints, screen goes black and does not respond. Take to dealership multiple times to fix issues but they still continue

Car has a parasitic draw and is on its second battery in 3 years. The dealer can’t seem to fix the issue and shows little concern to find the issue. Dangerous to get stranded somewhere or in the cold. It’s erratic when it decides to kill the battery and not safe.

My 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with the 5.3L V8 experienced a severe engine failure at approximately 92,144 miles. The vehicle developed multiple misfires and was towed to the Chevrolet dealership for diagnosis. The dealership documented a failed lifter, significant camshaft damage, metal in the engine oil, and metal contamination throughout the engine. The engine had to be replaced with a complete long block at a total cost of approximately $14,395. I am concerned because this was a major internal engine failure at relatively low mileage, involving a lifter and resulting in extensive engine damage. GM has issued technical service information regarding lifter-related conditions and misfires affecting the 5.3L L84 engine family, which is the engine in my vehicle. GM provided $1,859.29 in partial repair assistance but has declined any additional assistance. I am reporting this failure because I believe the nature and severity of the engine failure warrant investigation for a potential recurring safety or reliability issue involving the 5.3L L84 engine.

Vehicle began making loud knocking sound XXX Towed to dealer 9/8 after holiday. They found metal in the oil and believe it needs an engine replacement. A week later I have no answers, there's no loaners available, so I am just without a car. We bought car from Zimbrick Chevy in [XXX]. It was never disclosed to us that the vehicle had an engine replacement right before we purchased. New engine lasted about 16,000 miles. Only once we saw the history of the car in the current dealership's service app did we learn about the engine replacement. This is beyond unacceptable!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my absolute shock, extreme frustration, and profound distress regarding the catastrophic and recurring failures of the BRAND NEW $86,626.50 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe RST we purchased from Community Chevrolet (200 W Olive Ave, Burbank, CA 91502). We did not purchase a used, low-budget vehicle; we invested a life-altering sum of EIGHTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS in what we expected to be a safe, reliable family SUV. Instead, we have received a death trap that the dealership refuses to fix permanently. This vehicle is fundamentally unsafe to operate. We have brought it to your dealership four (4) times for the same critical safety issues, and each time, we receive the same insulting explanation: a "software update" or "recalibration." These are not fixes; they are negligent bandaids designed to clear error codes long enough for us to drive off the lot. We are experiencing terrifying, random SYSTEM FAILURES while driving: "Service ESC" warning "Forward Collision System Unavailable" "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62MPH TOP SPEED" Let me be unequivocally clear: the braking system has failed twice while my wife and three young children were inside the vehicle, nearly resulting in fatal collisions on the freeway and city streets. This is not an inconvenience; this is a life-threatening defect that you have failed to remedy. The negligence displayed by returning this vehicle to us in an unsafe condition is staggering. The financial and personal toll is immense and completely unacceptable: We have paid for tow trucks three times. We have missed work, leading to a formal warning for my wife's employment. We have incurred costs for rental vehicles and arranging essential transportation for medical appointments and school runs. For $86,000, I expect a vehicle that adheres to basic safety guidelines, not one that endangers my family and others on the road. The vehicle had approximately 56,000 miles when these critical issues became severe, yet it is

This is the 2nd time this has happened while traveling on a 5 hour road trip in the rain at night. The front windshield wipers just stop working. The first time it happened was a year ago, 2025. We had to replace the wiper motor. It just happened again 10/11/2026 in a heavy rain storm in the dark. NO warning lights or indicators.

Wind shield wipers stopped working while it was raining.

Car got stuck between gears while driving on the road. The vehicle accelerated by itself almost causing me to crash. I immediately pulled over into a business and put the truck in park. The car stayed on. It turned on and off but would not shift gears. Would not go from park to reverse or drive. And unfortunately the “warranty” only cover 60k miles. Conveniently right before this well known issue goes out. The main issue was Pressure Control Solenoid C Stuck On. This issue is an issue many people are having and since it is a drivetrain issue this can affect many lives while on the road.

The vehicle has service driver assistance system warning. The seat vibration is not working and I believe there are issues with the sensor and or harness. There have been recalls on previous years of this vehicle for the same thing. There have been a wave of these lately, according to the dealership working on the vehicle. Parts availability is currently low because of this resulting in longer repair times. This is a key safety feature of the vehicle and must be repaired quickly. Unsuspecting users may expect warnings before collisions that may not happen.

Vehicle continues to experience flashing air bag light and service self-restraint system warning. Brought in twice in 2025 for self-restraint system but dealer refuses to cover under warranty. On December 18, 2025, experienced complete power and electrical failure while in transit on a turning lane. The vehicle was unable to start, or open any windows, and the transmission would not shift back into park or neutral while obstructing traffic near an active railroad. Vehicle battery was replaced and was able to safely put vehicle into gear. Vehicle battery replacement allowed for normal driving; however, from that date on the transmission started shifting harder and jerkier. On December 31, 2025, vehicle was being driven on the freeway to then experience difficult shifting and reduced power. Subsequently, the drive indicator began flashing red and a service transmission indication appeared. There has been at least three instances, since vehicle purchased, where sudden loss of power and control of the vehicle in motion has occured.

THE 3RD ROW HEADREST WONT STAY UP I BROUGHT IS TO CHEVEROLET DEALER I SAID THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE 2021 RECALL ON SEATS IS TO CORRECT THE HEADREST NOT STAYING UP! AND THE DEALER SAID RECALL DOESNT APPLY TO THE 2022 MODEL YEAR HEADREST. I SAID ITS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SAD BUT TRUE IF WE WERE TO HAVE A ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE SITTING IN THOSE 3RD ROW SEATS AND HEAD REST WONT STAY UP SOMEONE WILL GET HURT!!!!!! VERY FRUSTRATING CHEVROLET STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT IN THE NAME OF SAFETY!!

While driving 70mph on the interstate, my 2022 Tahoe stopped accelerating, the engine seized, and shifted in to neutral at 52,000. I was able to coast to the side of an extremely busy interstate, right before a bridge and wait for assistance. The dealer confirmed this is a problem known to this vehicle. The engine is on backorder, even under warranty. They say an SPAC has been filed and I had to make a claim to GM to reimburse them for the starter, battery block, and battery they decided to replace first. They said it could take up to 3 months to receive a new engine and there was a waitlist for a 10day loaner car. The vehicle had just been at the dealer for a 50,000 mile check up and warranty repair. There were no other symptoms prior to this catastrophic engine failure.

The locking clamp has become worn down and has failed after only three years of use. It will not lock down and hold the harness straps in place. My child can lean forward and the the straps release. Diono advertises 10 years of use. These car seats are unsafe if this is happening.

The tires seemed to lose their tackiness at 44k miles. With tread life being around 48% they were deemed insufficient and needing replaced by the tire shop during an inspection. A solo accident where the vehicle lost control in wet weather warranted an inspection. The tires had even wear for the most part, but were showing cracking around the sidewall. The tires were only 2 years old and had 44k miles on them. The vehicle and tires were always parked in a garage and/or parking structure out of the sun/elements. With the same brand tires having an 80k mile limited warranty, this shouldn't have been an issue.
