My vehicle’s engine has been recalled since June. The dealer refused to inspect because there is no remedy to replace the engine. I have complained since I purchased the vehicle of noises that I’ve heard. I am hearing more noises, and I am increasingly getting more scared every day to drive my vehicle. I will not put myself nor my family in harms way I can get into an accident. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. I am not taking any chances of hurting anyone else or my family or potentially have a fatal accident. two months of driving around scared I will not drive my truck anymore. I am beyond upset that there is no remedy for this and that it is not taken seriously. Something needs to be done regarding my situation and all others. The vehicle was sold, most likely knowing that this was a problem. GM needs to make good on this problem before people get killed. I would like them to buy back my vehicle, I am sure I qualify for a full re-purchase. I called GM. They will get back to me in five business days. I cannot emphasize how afraid I am to drive my vehicle and I paid $110,000 for this vehicle.

Need new rotors and breaks purchased this vehicle with this issue and dealership or manufacturer want to fix this serious problem
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
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 the federal safety agency to hold the manufacturer accountable.

Unusual knocking noises, performance issues, high RPM, - Traction control light is on Feels at times the engine is on verge of losing power while I'm driving on the highway with my children and I could get hit check engine light blinking constantly
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.
Engine performance issues, engine hesitation, abnormal shifting, and reduced propulsion. Interior dash and radio illumination goes black. Blinkers fail to work; no sound comes from the radio and speakers. Mirrors fail to tuck after command given to do so.

I filled my car up with gas and turned it on and it started shaking. Several warnings popped up on the dashboard screen including, Service ESC, Service traction control, And forward collision system unavailable. My cruise control was disabled I had to hold my foot at an angle to keep the speed at 45-50 mph, Causing it to take 10 hours for me to get home from Austin to Dallas. The check engine light was on the entire time and flashed for the last hour to hour and a half. I was unable to pull over at that time because it was dark And I was in the middle of nowhere by myself. The next day I turned my car on.The only thing on was the check engine light, Is , however , around 1 pm that day it Started doing the same thing. I drove it from My patient's house in allen To galleria chevrolet in Dallas. They told me my battery was too low to run diagnostics and I needed to replace it. So I bought a battery and brought it to them. They replaced the Next morning And told me there were no codes showing up so There was nothing wrong with my car and it was a fluke. Exactly one week later the same thing happened to my car. I called the dealership and they Hao it toewd to the service dept. After I repeatedly called them to check on the status of my car, they told me it was the fuel injector #1. They then were able to apply for a loaner car for me as I am a hospice nurse. These are same exact issues that the GM 6.2 L engines are having with the recall they just announced. I have a 5.3 L engine. I am afraid to put my kids in my car. Please help get GM to take responsibility for this!
First was engine shutoff while driving up a windy highway. No warning just shutoff. Second time was catastrophic engine failure. Was told by dealership lower end issue and will require entire motor replacement.

2023 Tahoe with 6.2L gas engine at 29k miles suffered a complete engine failure on a major road at 60mph with no prior warning. We were lucky to be able to get it out of the road safely but it stranded my family. It’s currently at GM dealer waiting for an engine replacement.
Engine replacement at 13,260 miles due to thrown rods in cylinders 7 and 8 in September 2023. The vehicle is currently at the dealership again at 32,000 miles due to transmission issues. No ETA on replacement parts. Up to date on all maintenance and oil changes.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission valve body had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
We were driving on the highways, we had to break and the car shut off, we barely made it to the side of the road and the car would not turn over, start, or go in to neutral, which was very unsafe. Had to have it drug on the tow truck since it wouldn’t go to neutral and at the dealer it had 17 codes. The engine seized and they are having to order a new engine.
While driving on the highway at high speed, my vehicle suddenly shut down and went into neutral. After a few minutes of trying to start it, it started and I was able to drive it home. The following day, on my way to the dealership for an inspection, while driving on a busy street, it shut down again. This time, it wouldn't restart, and I had to call the police and a tow truck to have it towed to the dealership. I was freaking out as I had my daughter inside the car with me. At that point, the vehicle had around 26,000 miles. The dealership inspected it and determined the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. After the engine was replaced, the vehicle seemed fine, but recently, I've been experiencing problems again. The car struggles to start when it shuts off during stops, using the auto shut-off feature, and there's an intermittent hard shifting issue. It feels like the engine is failing again or maybe the transmission, but I've been told that unless the dealership can replicate the issue when I bring it in, they can't do anything. I'm concerned about being stranded on the road again, especially since my daughter is always with me. The vehicle’s engine and mechanical components don’t seem reliable, and I no longer feel safe driving it. However, I have no other option as it is my daily car for work and everything else. I’ve asked for an extended warranty from the dealership after the engine replacement, but I was told GMC doesn’t offer one for this issue. I’ve seen others on social media report similar problems, and I want to share my experience, as I’m just one of many customers facing this issue.
Engine: Power lost and engine shut down. Yes, it is available for inspection. Warning Lamps: Engine lamp came on: [XXX] [XXX] Engine shut down while driving. While bring my Grandson, home from school. I was on the ramp to exit the interstate, at the stop sign I lightly touched my brakes because I was going very slow, nothing was coming when I accelerated the engine totally shut down in between both lanes on a state highway. All of the warning lamps on the dashboard were lighting up and blinking, all of the alerts were making noises, no power and I had no control of the vehicle, then the “press start signal” came on, I had to quickly place from drive to park, and then press the start button to crank the vehicle. While this was going on my Grandson asked me in a startled voice “what’s happening”. Scary is not the word “I saw my life and his life flash before my eyes” with my Grandson in the vehicle. That’s a [XXX] of a feeling that you never want to experience. Then he said “this is nothing but a tin can ”. All of my family calls this vehicle a “Tin Can”! This was a very dangerous situation that could have been life-threatening or death. The problem has not been reproduced. Dealership sent a GM Field Service Engineer to inspect vehicle on 3/18/25. I have had many problems with this vehicle that cannot be diagnosed. Engineer test drove twice and scanned for codes before and after test drives. His findings: no codes found, was unable to reproduce power loss, and loose negative terminal on battery post tightened.
