VISIBILITY/WIPER
Tahoe was purchased new in November 2024. Vehicle currently has around 37,000 miles and has been regularly serviced by GM dealers. On Sept. 9, 2026, was driving in moderate rain and wipers just stopped working. After stopping at a nearby gas station for about 5 minutes or so, the wipers again began working. I am currently having intermittent wiper failure. Sometimes they are really slow even on the “high” setting. Something is wrong with them and fuse was checked and is good. This creates a very dangerous situation that could cause serious injury or death if the wipers (on a new $80,000 vehicle) suddenly stop while driving in rain. This is a serious danger to public safety and GM needs to issue a recall for a fix. Research online indicates GM is aware of the issue under TSB PIE0774, but is not offering resolution to vehicle owners. As well, online research shows a class action lawsuit is pending. The NHTSA needs to take prompt action and direct GM to correct the matter for public safety.

Engine started "ticking" for a bit. Then sounded like marbles were in the engine. Loss of power and engine light came on. Dealer says my 6.2 engine failed and new one needed. Less than 9000 well cared for miles!

SERVICE BRAKES
Upon getting into vehicle , a pooling of fluid was in the all weather mats.. with a visible leak line from top of mat to the pooling area on driver side. It did not dry as water would and it was a slightly oily feeelign and left an oily residue. Several day later after the vehicle sat over the weekend, more pooling was noticed with same leak line at top of mat to area where pooled. Upon further investigation and with picture documentation a dead on line for line leak from the brake down pedal shaft onto the all weather mat . and once at the mechanics it was confirmed to be a leak of the master cylinder. Many recalls have been done on other models as well. My warning light or module also has not alerted to the loss of brake fluid.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We were driving full speed down the highway and the vehicle completely shut down steering wheel locked and we were stranded for six hours. Turns out the dealer said it was just the battery and they fixed the grounding of the battery. I’m sorry but I’m not satisfied with this response. I’m scared to drive this vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE
On approximately January 15, 2026, my 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine suffered a complete engine failure at approximately 10,000 miles while my family and I were traveling about six hours from home. The engine/propulsion system failed and the vehicle became inoperable. The specific internal engine component that initially failed is UNKNOWN. The sudden failure put my family at risk because we were stranded far from home with an inoperable vehicle. The Tahoe had to be taken to an authorized Chevrolet dealership, where the engine failure was confirmed and warranty repairs were performed. General Motors opened Chevrolet Customer Assistance case number 87586632 on January 16, 2026 and communicated with the dealership throughout the repair. The Tahoe remained at the dealership awaiting repairs and parts through at least February 4, 2026. GM correspondence confirms that the vehicle had been returned to us by February 7, 2026. The vehicle was unavailable for approximately three weeks. Prior to the failure, OnStar sent a low 12-volt battery alert on January 15, 2026. I do not know whether that alert was related to the engine failure. On February 2, 2026, while the vehicle was still undergoing repairs, OnStar sent a critical engine and transmission system diagnostic alert. Any other warning lamps, messages, noises, or symptoms immediately preceding the failure are UNKNOWN. The vehicle was inspected and repaired by an authorized Chevrolet dealership, and General Motors was involved through its Customer Assistance department. Whether a GM representative separately inspected the failed engine is UNKNOWN. The vehicle was not inspected by police or an insurance representative to my knowledge. Whether the original failed engine or its components are still available for inspection is UNKNOWN; the dealership or General Motors may have retained them. 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe, case number 87586632.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Brake System Failure 62 MPH Top Speed Service ESC Service Brake Trailer System These warnings appeared on 04/30 and my brakes became extremely hard to use to stop my vehicle. I had my two young children in the car, I was able to go up hill and shift it into park after driving 15 minutes basically with no brakes. It was towed to Hendrick Chevrolet, where they replaced the master cylinder. On May 5th I was driving the car and the service brake assist light came on with the message. I then had it towed to Hendrick where it stayed until July 28th. The dealership stated that it was an external leak in the master cylinder. Now for the 3rd time the brakes are making a squealing noise and the service brake assist light is on again. I do not feel safe in this vehicle.
