UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Driving about 40 mph, 8 am ish 8/15/23. Temp was around 70 degrees. 1 car behind me but not too close. Sunroof glass shattered. I was able to pull into a gas station nearby to look at the sunroof to see what happened. Looks like the glass exploded up and not down from something dropping on it. No prior warning. Just instant shatter. Called dealership and the service person said I should call my insurance. I filed a claim with my insurance and plan to take the vehicle to the dealership to help clean it out and cover the hole so I can still drive home from work today.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Tahoe will not start nor will it allow to be jumped by another vechicle. Tahoe is kept in garage this is the 4th time this has happened. Dealer replaced the battery first time saying that was the culprit, second time they could not find a root cause, and same for third time. I see this is a common problem with engine, battery and electrical of the 2022 tahoe. I do not feel safe in it knowing this could cut off on me driving down the interstate.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
On June 1st, I was put in a very dangerous situation while driving on the highway. Out of nowhere, my vehicle’s engine started clicking and immediately converted to a rough in the middle of highway traffic. I was terribly afraid from my life. I was headed to Duluth, GA for a meeting but had turn around and drive 31 miles back in rush hour traffic to Steve Reyman Chevrolet Dealership, in cobb county in this condition. I was extremely stressed; afraid that i could potentially be injured in an accident or fire, because of the engine. Several never before seen warning signals appeared. These signals included Service ESC, Service Traction Control, Forward Collision System Unavailable and the check engine light. I had just had my truck serviced on 5/26, as the dealership had been monitoring the oil consumption of my 2022 Tahoe. By the time, I arrived to the dealership, the service department was closed, so the vehicle was left overnight. I met with the service advisor in the morning and was told there was a cylinder 4 misfire and that a fuel injector and spark plugs was needed. After picking up, my vehicle on June 12th, the issued was not resolved and my vehicle was inoperable. I regularly service my vehicle including recommended service, so I’m not sure how something this extreme could happen. Looking back at my service records, there have been several occurrences where the vehicle stalled out and the dealer blamed the auto/start stop feature or a failed battery. All pretty ridiculous claims for a brand new truck. I’m convinced this vehicle was produced poorly. My truck has 72,325 miles on it, however I came across several forums with new body Tahoes & Suburbans with way less mileage (i.e. 4300 miles) that experienced the exact same issue. Attached, you will find all the times, I brought my vehicle in for service for a major concerning issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DEAD BATTERY 3 TIMES in a 35 day period. We drove vehicle (2022 Tahoe) 15 months without any issues. February 9, 2023 we had the main instrument cluster not come on when vehicle was started, we cut off / restarted vehicle and instrument cluster came back on with no further issues to date. Vehicle did some type of over the air update after February 9, 2023 and before February 26, 2023. Vehicle gave a low battery light on February 26, 2023. Vehicle was taken to Chevrolet Dealership on February 27, 2023 and returned to me on March 1, 2023 with a new battery installed. March 19, 2023 vehicle battery died with roadside assistance called to jump off vehicle. Returned vehicle to Chevrolet Dealership on March 20, 2023 and was told the radio was not turning off as designed and there was an open sensor in the windshield - both items repaired and vehicle returned to me on March 21, 2023. April 2, 2023 vehicle battery died with roadside assistance called to jump off vehicle. Returned vehicle on April 3, 2023 to Chevrolet Dealership. Vehicle has been at Chevrolet Dealership for 3 weeks. As of today, April 24, 2023 Dealership / GM state that they cannot find anything wrong, but want to pull the fuse out for the liftgate module and return the vehicle. I asked why not replace the liftgate module and am being told that they do not know that the lift gate module is the issue, so they will not replace module. At this time I see no evidence that the root cause of battery failure has been identified and GM / Dealership is wanting to return the vehicle to service on the hope that pulling a fuse for the handsfree liftgate module will resolve the issue leaving my family at risk of another battery failure.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The backup camera system on my 2022 Tahoe has repeatedly malfunctioned, causing a safety issue when backing up. This component/system has failed to provide a clear view of the area behind the vehicle, which is crucial for safe backing up. I can make the component or system available for inspection upon request. The malfunctioning backup camera system has put both my safety and the safety of others at risk. Without a clear view of the area behind the vehicle, I cannot see if there are any obstacles or people in the way, which can lead to accidents or collisions. Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer multiple times for this issue, but the problem persists. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer, but I am not aware of any inspections by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The backup camera system would work fine for some time, but then it would malfunction without any warning. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving down the interstate and unexpectedly the sun roof exploded. There was no debris from the cars distantly on front of me that could've damaged the sunroof like this. There were no temperatures fluctuations that coud've caused this. Luckily, I had the screen shut which kept the glass from reigning me, my husband, and my daughter. After stopping the vehicle, my husband took a photograph. It was was noticed that most of the glass came out of the vehicle as opposed to inward. With that being said, the sunroof exploded and was not hit from an outside source.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
With 8500 miles while driving the engine started ticking, jerks on acceleration, Trans shifting very slow and a light warning with “reduced acceleration while driving” came on. Then immediately after the Instrument panels warning lights indicated service traction control, forward collision system unavailable, and check engine light all illuminated. Then car stopped accelerating and was almost rear ended on highway. Luckily no one was hurt. What is GM/Chevy doing to fix this issue. Apparently, this is common issue with the new Tahoes.
