On multiple occasions my vehicle brakes with no warning. So much so I can hear the tires screech ever time. I brought to a dealership and they told me they can’t find the issue and no fault codes. This is understandable due to the fact that it doesn’t always happen. It’ll go so times a full day without happening. It mostly happens on the highway but happened today (24-July-2025) around 17:30. So needless to say this is a huge issue especially seeing I have three small children. Thank you so much for your time in this matter and I hope this finds you well.

Our 2023 3L diesel Tahoe had 63,000 miles on it and went into limp mode (CEL on) in late April 2025. We took it to the dealership and they diagnosed the valve body as the problem. We continued to drive it (as they mentioned it would be months before a replacement part would be in) while I did some research and discovered the magnitude of the problem. Just google it! Meanwhile, the rear wheels locked up on me after I had picked up our two children from daycare. It felt like we had a log chain hooked to our hitch that snapped us back - really hard! Felt like we had been rear-ended. This could have easily caused us to get in an accident, or worse, but thankfully we were not in heavy traffic. Our dealership was able to provide us a loaner truck. Approx. 50 days later, we were informed that we were approved for a new transmission - which was also on backorder! Almost 80 days later, our new transmission has arrived and been installed. We are very disappointed with how GM has handled the issue. We were lucky our dealer provided a loaner, as many have not. There are after-market providers who clearly state the upgrades they've made to the valves bodies, and while GM says they've upgraded the ones they make now, they won't share any details. I'm aware of this same limp mode/rear wheel lock up happening multiple times (on the same vehicle) to people in very low-mileage vehicles (less than 1000 miles). This isn't a small problem, and GM knows it. We will see how far we get with this "new" transmission, but as you could guess, I don't have high hopes! I just pray that no one gets killed.

Engine light came on. Flagged for a bad transmission valve body. Informed by dealership that the piece is on backorder and has been on back order for months.

Transmission issue. Vehicle has the Duramax Diesel with 10-speed transmission. I am aware of issues with earlier year/s transmissions. I have experienced shuddering, jerking, a SINGLE momentary rear axle lockup. Jerky engagement from drive to reverse and or back. Reduced Acceleration warning on display. Check engine light comes and goes. Waiting for dealer to further inspect, drain fluid, etc. It appears from the VIN check that this vehicle had some metal work/paint prior to delivery to selling dealer, paint does not match. The transmission issue at 15,000 miles is just plain scary and not what one expects. That this vehicle sold as a 2023 has same issues as earlier model years makes me wonder if this is in fact a late 2022 model with the known defective transmission valve body? Any help appreciated.

Engine connecting rods and crankshaft have manufacture defects that could cause engine failure resulting in a crash. Driving in a large city with an infant and toddler makes the possibility of sudden engine failure extremely dangerous. It puts everyone in the vehicle at risk but especially the children at a huge safety risk. Engine makes odd sound but multiple Chevy dealerships say they won't look at it because they don't have an answer from GM.

While traveling on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost all power. The gas pedal became unresponsive, and the engine ceased functioning entirely—without any prior warning or indicators. I was forced to coast into a nearby parking lot to prevent a potential collision. This incident put both myself and my child at serious risk of injury or worse, had it occurred at a higher speed or in heavier traffic. Once stopped, the vehicle would not restart. I had no choice but to have it towed to the dealership for evaluation. A week later, the dealership diagnosed the issue as a locked-up engine, confirming that a full engine replacement is necessary. Unfortunately, the replacement engine is currently on backorder, and they are unable to provide an estimated time of arrival. To make matters worse, the dealership has no loaner vehicles available for at least a month. GM only offers a rental reimbursement of $44 per day, which is significantly below the cost of even a basic rental vehicle in our area ($74/day). This leaves me with limited transportation options, even though I am currently making monthly payments of over $1,400 on a vehicle that is completely unusable. Adding to the severity of this situation, the vehicle is also subject to a manufacturer recall, but no remedy or parts are currently available to resolve the issue. As a parent of multiple children, this entire experience has left me shaken. I cannot begin to imagine the consequences had this failure happened at a higher speed or in less forgiving conditions. I am extremely concerned for my family’s safety going forward. GM has stated they will not extend or provide additional warranty coverage until the repair is complete, which leaves me feeling unprotected and anxious about the future reliability of this vehicle. The absence of warning signs and the total loss of power while driving make this a critical safety concern that must be addressed. I urge NHTSA to hold the manufacturer accountable.

I noticed the gears of my Tahoe grinding when I would let off of the gas pedal. Eventually my check engine line came on. I brought it to my Chevy dealership. Upon inspection, I was told that my transmission valve body was bad and that I needed a new one. I was then told that my truck was ok to drive. I drove it for roughly another month until the check engine light came on again, and I heard the same sounds (I was able to catch it on video). This time, my truck would not want to accelerate past about 1.5 RPMs. I brought it back to the Chevy dealership which is where my truck is today. In hindsight, I believe I should not have been allowed to continue to drive my truck with a bad transmission part.

The sounds from the radio works only 10% of the time, the radio sound also is what produces the turn signal blinking sound. Additionally there is a scratching noise coming from the speakers almost like a bad signal from the tuner. This is very distracting and a safety concern, especially when the turn signal does not audible make a sound. When I call Chevy they say it will be $300 to diagnose, and if you look online this is a known issue amongst newer model Chevy.

I took my car into the Fowler Chevrolet (AKA Century Chevrolet) Dealership in Broomfield, Colorado to get the engine recall addressed for my 2023 Chevy Tahoe-RST. I was told GM doesn't have a solution and has not sent any parts to the dealerships to deal with the recall. This is a significant safety issue/concern since I drive my [XXX] daughter every day in this vehicle. How is an OEM like GM allowed to get away with not having an immediate fix available to such a significant safety issue where an engine just fails and could fail without any warning lights on a highway. Extremely dangerous and nerve racking to drive this vehicle knowing there is this safety recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

Feels like the transmission is slipping. When I step on the gas it makes a jerking/ tugging motion like its pulling backwards and feels as though it has no power. It’s gotten progressively worse now over 10k miles and I should not have any engine problems with a new car. This happens every time I drive it. The problem is not fixing itself it’s getting worse by the day.

My 2023 Tahoe with 76,000 miles went into limp mode and activated an engine light. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and had the code P0747 which is pressure control solenoid A is stuck on. The dealership technician is recommending a valve body replacement to repair this problem. This is a known problem by General Motors and has extended it to the 2022 models only. This is a safety concern that is causing rough irregular shifting, and a engine light to occur.

While driving in a rainstorm on a highway at 70mph, the windshield wipers quit working and would not restart. This has happened on multiple occasions and the dealer could not recreate the issue. Visibility was virtually zero, creating a very unsafe situation. The condition corrected itself after multiple ignition cycles and several minutes being pulled over on the side of the highway.

Vehicle down shifted hard and dash board lit up. Wouldn’t shift any higher than 4th or 5th gear. Fortunately we were only going about 35mph. If we would have been on the interstate as we had been the 2 previous days on our trip to Florida it could have been deadly. Brought the Tahoe to Ron Anderson GMC Chevrolet in Yulee, Florida on 3/18/25. The transmission valve body is the problem. As of today 4/11/25 we haven’t heard another word and returned home to Michigan 3 weeks ago.
