In March of 2023, my 2019 Chevy Tahoe began having episodes where while driving there would be no gas power. The needle on the speedometer would start dropping to zero and the truck would sound like it was in neutral without notice putting everyon in the vehicle and outside of the vehicle at risk. My kids travel long distance for their AAA sports. Then all of a sudden there would be a loud noise (sound like hitting a rock with a sledge hammer) and you would feel the jarring noise and it would engage again. It was taken into the dealer and they found nothing wrong with it, couldn't duplicate the problem. This was at approximately 128,000 miles. On and off it happened all from March through April 2023 without notice, on the expressway traveling at 70 mph and having no control over the speed of the vehicle. In April, it became more apparent that when you hit 50 mph and 70 mph it was happening on cue, at 130,000 miles. Took it to the dealer again in April 2023, gave them the information and all they told me was that it was the transmission, $12,000 and it would be $500 to just take it apart to confirm, no error code was scanning and if I wanted to trade it in they would get a sales person. I spoke with the sales person who couldn't help because the balance on the loan is $28,000. Went back to the sales to get the car and a different service person helped me and couldn't find the truck. The truck had never been entered into anything in the service department. I took the truck home and it has sat in my driveway. It is a shame that you purchase a $70,000 vehicle and cannot get quality service from the dealer and a vehicle that doesn't make it past 130,000 miles. We have a 2013 Ford Edge that has 358,000 miles on it. What does that say about Chevy currently? Currently I have been starting the vehicle and driving it down my block and back daily to keep it from deteriorating, it cannot go over 20 mph without the gas power failing. I am hoping someone can help.

the vehicles have a serious defect that causes the air conditioning systems to crack and leak refrigerant, lose pressure, and fail to function properly to provide cooled air into the vehicles. These failures lead owners and lessees to incur significant costs for repair, often successive repairs as the repaired parts prove defective as well. As summer temperatures in many regions soar into triple digits, this leaves Escalade, Sierra, Suburban, Tahoe, Silverado, Sierra and Yukon owners with vehicles they say are undriveable due to concerns about child, pet, and driver safety. I would hope GM will cover this AC problem since I am just outside of my certified warranty and have kept up with all maintenance requirements per manual. See link below that I have found to be a common problem with the condenser. I am not a happy customer here, definitely deters me from buying another Chevy/GMC if GM does not cover the cost under warranty. Per link below you have to constantly contact GM to argue this common problem to get them to agree to cover it. I had it diagnosed by Hoselton Fairport NY last Tuesday, they wanted $400 just to touch my AC to start the diagnosis and to put a $40 can of Freon in it. It didn’t hold after 3 days. I had my brakes done. 2019 Chevy Tahoe. Also lawsuits going on about faulty condenser. If anyone else has this issue I would definitely suggest contacting GM CS before forking over $1200+.

Vehicle will stall while parked causing a strong odor of gasoline. Takes several minutes of sitting with vehicle off before it will start again. The vehicle has also done this while coming to a stop. This vehicle has 41000 miles on it and continues to do this. It is used for law enforcement agency. I am required to respond to calls and this hinders response times to calls as well as emergent responses. The dealership has looked at the issue and blamed it on fuel having water in the fuel. They have replaced several items involving the fuel system. This has not solved the problem. Bob Ruwarts has not given an answer.

While driving on the freeway truck had lost all power and steering and braking capacity. The screen on dash went completely black with no warning signs. Vehicle could not accelerate and or brake other than drift in lane. Vehicle was without power for a brief time until power came back was able to not crash vehicle as this happened at a high rate on speed on busy freeway. When power did engage back on the dash lights now were full brightness and no control to dim it down could have been sign of definitely Electrical issues. This had occurred several times since it had this major problem! I then urgently took my vehicle to specific Chevy dealership for service and was refused service at dealership for the major electronic black out. I had no other choice but I then had contact Chevy customer service line to bring them this major problem four months ago. To this current day I still haven’t had any support or assistance in addressing this major problem with my vehicle! Chevy support or lack there of has only delayed addressing my to get serviced to see what’s causing this problems!
