Thursday XXX - Left [XXX] on our way to [XXX] for a beach vacation on our 2022 Chevy Tahoe z71. Made it to [XXX] and spent the night there Friday XXX - Left our hotel in [XXX] and headed to [XXX]. Expected arrival time 8 pm About 40 miles east of [XXX] our Tahoe shuts down and I pull to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. It’s 99 degrees. I called several dealerships around and decided on Ryan Chevrolet in [XXX]. I called a tow truck and wait for 3 hours. My wife and two kids walk 1 mile to a gas station. I call the XXXstate patrol to get them to park behind me as semis at 80 miles per hour are flying by me. Having semis pass by at 80 miles per hour is obviously very scary and extremely dangerous. Tow truck takes me and the Tahoe to Ryan Chevrolet and am able to drop the car there 30 minutes before they close for the weekend. Tow truck driver takes me to the XXX airport where I have managed to rent an SUV that will allow me to complete my vacation. Drive through the night and make it to my hotel in [XXX] at 2:30 am. Thursday XXX - Drive back to [XXX] Friday XXX Go to Enterprise Rental cars in [XXX], explain that I will need a car till my Tahoe gets its engine replaced. I get a Chevy Blazer. Friday XXX - I drive 5 hours to [XXX] to pick up my Chevy Tahoe, return the Enterprise rental at the [XXX] airport and then drive another 5 hours back to [XXX]. I bought this car new at the dealership and has only been serviced by that same dealership. About a year ago the oil type was changed as part of the recall.

I am reporting a transmission failure involving my 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71, VIN [XXX]. In XXX, while driving, my Tahoe became stuck in Drive and would not shift into Reverse. The transmission then completely failed and the vehicle could no longer be driven normally. I took the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealership, where the transmission failure was diagnosed and replacement was recommended. GM’s quoted replacement cost was very high, so I had the transmission replaced by an independent mechanic in [XXX] using a certified GM replacement transmission. I subsequently became aware of the federal safety agency recall 26V085 / GM N252536750 involving certain 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles with the 10-speed transmission. The recall involves a transmission control valve that may fail and cause loss of transmission function and, under certain circumstances, rear-wheel lockup. My Tahoe’s manufacturing date is XXX, so I understand it is outside the currently identified production range for this recall. However, my vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure with an inability to shift into Reverse. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review this failure to determine whether the original transmission may have experienced the same or a related defect and whether vehicles outside the currently identified production range may also be affected. The Chevrolet dealership that diagnosed the failure may have diagnostic records, trouble codes, and transmission identification information for the original transmission. I can provide these records and the independent repair documentation if needed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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!

The transmission began slipping at 20, 25, 35, and 45 mph by the time we hit 80k miles. The vehicle was out of warranty. We were told it was unaffected by the recalls and not related to the issues affecting other drivers. It now has 167k miles and we have tried having the transmission flushed but it still slips and needs a new transmission. Chevy knows about these issues and refuses to replace their horrible product since they also sell the cure to the problem and make money off of it.

2022 Chevy Tahoe went into limp mode at 62,500 miles out of the blue and check engine light came on. At the certified Chevy dealership I was told it was the transmission control valve, Code P2732, which is a known widespread factory issue in these models. Upon further inspection, was told my transmission fluid was completely black and burned and it ruined the transmission and therefore it needs to be replaced. "Consequential Damage Policy: When a control valve body fails and stays "stuck on," it forces maximum line pressure through the system. Continuing to drive under these conditions quickly destroys the internal clutch packs, burns the fluid, and melts down the transmission." This is exactly what happened and my vehicle was never put on a recall list but clearly was a ticking time bomb.

Driving the vehicle down the highway at approximately 65 miles per hour, the check engine light came on and the engine went into limp mode, slowing immediately. Upon getting the vehicle to the left shoulder on a busy highway, the vehicle displayed "engine overheating", "battery low", and 0% oil life. A full oil and filter change had been done less than 1000 miles ago and upon checking the oil, it was at the correct level. The engine completely failed and is not being replaced at a Chevrolet dealership. I completed the recall N252494003 on March 5th, 2026 which comprised of an engine inspection, higher viscosity oil, a new oil cap, filter replacement, and owner's manual insert. The engine still failed and required replacement despite having this done.

My vehicle has suffered a Transmission Control Valve Failure (stuck open). This is the exact mechanical failure detailed in GM’s Nationwide Recall N24245441-02. It is deeply disheartening and illogical that my vehicle—which shares the exact year, make, model, and identical mechanical failure detailed in the safety bulletin—is excluded from the recall purely due to an arbitrary VIN filtering process
