2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 70 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was forced to pull over and had the vehicle towed to a local independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.

Mileage: 128,000

The transmission dropped 2 thousand miles over my warranty at 102k miles. I was taking my son to see his surgeon and the car started jerking and making noises in the middle of a busy intersection. We almost got hit several times trying to get it to the side of the road for safety. I had to pay almost $1800 to get it towed home (we were in Peoria about 150 miles from home to see his doctor). There were no indications the transmission was going out and never should have at that mileage. I always do regular maintenance and keep all my receipts. I then paid 6k out of pocket to have it replaced with a better transmission since I learned GM put a bad transmission in the Tahoe I have (I was told I missed the time limit to have it fixed on their dime). Then 6 weeks later a fuel injector and the lifters failed due to the active fuel management. No one was hurt thankfully because I was just leaving home to go to work when I noticed the tapping sound and had my mechanic come look at it. Him and 2 other mechanics confirmed it was the lifters. I had already borrowed money to replace the transmission and can’t afford the $12k quote to fix it. Now it has been sitting in my driveway for almost a year unable to be driven. It is however causing me severe depression. I’m borrowing my son’s car while paying almost $700 monthly on a Tahoe I can’t even drive. I was even more sad when I found out there’s thousands of people with the same issue. GM should be ashamed of themselves!

Purchased 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe on 1/15/2025 with 50,647 miles on it. At exactly the 40 day mark, we noticed a problem when the vehicle began downshifting. When slowing down to stop at a red light, we could feel the transmission begin jerking as it shifted down and the check engine light came on. It has been taken back to the dealership (where we bought it), 5 times as of yesterday and they cannot fix the problem. The engine idles rough, downshifting is extremely hard, check engine comes on and off sporadically. The transmission temperature goes up and the dashboard lighting dims intermittently. This vehicle appeared to be in extremely good physical condition with very few miles, that's why it was purchased.

Continue to have suspension issues and continued control issues on my 2017 Chevy Tahoe and with having two transmissions fail on this same truck!

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 78000 MILES TOOK TO DEALER AND TOLD ME IT WAS TRANSMISSION CODES.WITH 78000 MILES DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT $7000.THERE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE AND NO RECALL.DEALER SAYS THEY REPLACE THESE ALL THE TIME BUT GM WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHAT CAN I DO

My car had only 110,000 and the transmission went out. Maintenance has always been done on my car transmissions should not be going out at 110,000 miles. Gave me no warning at all just stopped in the middle of the road and wouldn’t go.

I was traveling through New York pulling my 21 foot RV and and the transmission on my Chevy truck (83,000 miles) heated up, the engine light came on, the transmission message occurred, and stopped working. We were stuck on the side of the road. The mechanic said these 6 speed transmissions often fail and it cost me $11,000 to rebuild it. He said the torque converter broke into pieces and traveled through my transmission lines. Online I learned this wasa very common problems with these kind of trucks and suvs.

My transmission is slipping and causing safety concerns while driving on the highway. It’s a 2017 Chevy Tahoe that has less than 100,000 miles and we have been reading on the internet about many others having the same problem. We just took it to a shop and they informed us that it’s a common issue with this model chevy and it will cost $5,000 to replace the transmission.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the engine revved, but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was then towed to a transmission specialist, where the same assessment was made. The transmission specialist determined that the transmission needed to be replaced or rebuilt. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

Mileage: 116,000

In 2022, I had to have cylinders 1-7 replaced. At the time, these vehicles were known to have transmission problems. My vehicle was 3,000 over warranty and Chevy denied any fault and only reimbursed me half of the $1500 to get replaced. Today, my complete transmission failed. Two years later. Chevy denied any fault regardless of lawsuits filed. Is going to cost $6300 for total replacement. I have NEVER in my life had transmission issues on a vehicle--especially so early in the life of the vehicle. The car almost left me stranded on the side of the interstate. Chevy knows about this problem and will not make good on a vehicle I paid over $60000 for.

7/14/23 Shuts off while driving. 11/02/23 complaint: unit sputters cause: code #P2635 fuel pump flow performance

Air bag lights it’s on, I’m already went to a shop and they put the scanner and said that there’s no air bag And transmission go out with 78xxx miles

See attached document for complaint

Got the Tahoe and on my way to work it hit 75000 miles and the transmission blew y I was on the highway

The transmissions stopped working while my wife was driving. The car stopped in the intersection. She was able to shut it off and it restarted so that she could pull into a parking lot. Car was towed to the dealer. The car has 74,000 miles on it and we were told it needs a new transmission and that it would cost $6900 to repair. I called GM and filed a claim with them in hopes they would offer some assistance. I was told nothing could be done. I have since spoke to several repair shops and checked the internet and have found out that it seems GM is having this problem often, for the years 2015-2017 for the Tahoe, Yukon, and Silverado.

All of a sudden my transmission (6 speed) started slipping. No abuse /drag racing lol. Just normal driving. I limped into my local dealer and they said the transmission was “shot” and that they couldn’t let m drive it home. Also the transmission mechanic was outside smoking and I vape so I started a conversation with him about these 6 sp transmissions and he said “ I can’t count how many I’ve replaced” “ even with less than 80k miles. This is negligent at the least by Chevrolet to intstall dangerous and threatening transmissions. Bad Chevy BAD!

I just experienced an issue with my transmission, I was driving home from work in cruise control and started up a bridge when my vehicle seemed to disengage the clutch and start rapidly slowing down (I was going up the incline of the bridge) and the motor redlined trying to maintain speed. I immediately switched it back into regular drive mode and noticed that the engine was not engaging with the transmission. I then placed the column shift into the manual setting and dropped down to 3rd gear, the tahoe gave a really abrupt and hard impact on the transmission and I got it to reangage to continue up the incline. This happened more than a dozen times in the remaining 15 miles to my home, both in and out of the manual setting. I did not attempt to go back to curise control. When I got home I turned the car off and checked the trans fluid level and saw nothing on the dipstick, I let it cool off and I have fluid past the "hot" mark and into the S curve of the stick. I was able to determine that my transmission was having a majority of its issues beyone 3rd gear. After doing some very quick research on Google it appears that I'm not the only one having transmission issues, primarily with 3rd and 4th gear of this year make and model. Is this something that is being investigated? My vehicle has 103k miles and is planned for a fluid change in the next couple of weeks (transmission, transfer case, and rear differential), per the O&M book that came with the vehicle. This just happened today and I have not had an opportunity to reach out to the dealership to question them about it. There were no warning indicators or error messages during the drive or during the time this occurred. All recall notices have been repaired on the tahoe to date, and I have kept up with the other fluid changes and other misc o&m recommendations. Please, any feedback would be very appreciated as this is my primary and safest vehicle to transport my kids.

Transmission on my 2017 Chevy Tahoe failed and needs a complete replacement. I notice a class-action lawsuit has been filed for other Chevy models but the Tahoe was not include although it has the same transmission/gearbox. I was on a major interstate when the transmission failed causing the vehicle to decelerate. The car was towed to a Chevy dealership where they have confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced and this has been an ongoing issue with this vehicle. There were no warning lights prior. The check engine light came on after the transmission failed.

Transmission noticeably slipping. When Tahoe is placed in reverse, car begins rolling forward, and sputters backwards. Elongated shifting between gears 2-3 causing RPMs to spike significantly.

The transmission malfunctioned at 100K miles. I was traveling on a major interstate and the car could not power forward. The dealership has confirmed that the transmission needs replacing. I did not receive a warning lamp or messages related to the issue.

The transmission went out at 93,000 miles and we took it in to be repaired under warranty. We were told a new transmission would be installed after being shipped from Detroit MI. When we picked up the vehice we discovered it was not a new transmission but a remanufactured transmission. We drove it home 25 miles home and it did not shift properly. We immediately called the dealership back to report it and was asked to bring it back. The dealership check it and said there was nothing wrong with it we just needed to drive it so it could learn our driving habits. This transmission lasted 104 days. We were out of town and my husband drove it to town to get breakfast and the transmission was slipping so bad he almost didn't get back with it. We had to have it towed to the nearest dealer 30 miles away and rent a car to get home. The second remanufactured transmission was installed by GM on 5/23/23 and we picked it up on 5/26/23. Upon driving it home this 2nd transmission was shifting hard. I contacted GM regarding it and was told to take it to be checked out. Once again we were told we just needed to drive it so it cold learn our driving habits. It is unsafe to drive as my husband drove it 4 miles to the grocery store and still at the traffic light he is pressing the gas to go and the vehicle would not move/go forward. He quickly had to put his flasher on and put the vehicle in park to keep from being hit from behind. He was finally able to get the vehicle to move and got home. The vehicle shifts so hard that it feels like you have been hit from behind by another car. GM keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with the vehicle but it is not safe to drive when you dont know if the transmission is gonna go out while you are going 70 mph down the interstate or get rearended becasue yourr vehicle doesn't move when the light turns green.

When going a low speed 15mph when hitting the brake car would not completely stop. When driving rpm will go high and would not go over 50mph

While driving down the highway at 65 MPH in a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, towing a boat, the stabilitrak service light/warning message illuminated, the check engine light illuminated, the vehicle began to shake, lose power, unable to accelerate, and slowed down to 55 MPH automatically. While trying to pull off the side of the highway, the vehicle continued to slow down to less than 40 MPH with no ability to accelerate. The transmission fluid temperature went all the way up to 282 degrees. We pulled off the side of the highway, let the car cool down for about 15 minutes, restarted the vehicle and attempted to accelerate slightly but the vehicle made a high pitched whining noise and would not move. The vehicle was towed to a Chevrolet dealer and was diagnosed with a failed transmission. This occurred at approximately 78,000 miles.

January 23, 2023 - mileage (85K) 2017 Chevy Tahoe, Z71 What: Transmission/Drive Train 6L80 Hydromatic Transmission - Complete Failure Vehicle was idling in park, in a parking lot, as it was put into drive there was a loud clunk, then pressing the accelerator the vehicle would not move. Put the vehicle back in park, then reverse, this time the transmission engaged backwards, shifted to drive, it moved normally pulled out into traffic. Safety was put at risk when pulling into traffic and then being in the traffic and suddenly, pressing the accelerator the car was no longer moving forward, with other vehicles coming in the rear. Immediately I put on the flashers, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop in traffic in the middle of the lane as the vehicle would not move at all. This put me in danger of being rear-ended by the vehicle(s) behind me. Additionally, safety could have been at all times depending on situation and location. Managed to limp the vehicle home, where it sat overnight to drive to the dealership for diagnosis. No issues going from cold start to drive to travel 4 miles to the dealership, Mark Wahlberg Chevy. Dealership Service Diagnosis, complete transmission failure, likely torque converter issue (known problem), entire transmission was replaced with remanufactured. Warranty, just expired December 2022. Removing transmission, damaged muffler, had to be replaced. Reported to the GM manufacturer for assistance to replace transmission as the warranty just expired in December of 2022. GM Case number 9-xxxxxx filed on January 26, 2023. GM as far as I know did not come and see the vehicle. The old transmission is still at the dealership, I intend to take possession of it. There was no previous notice that this even was going to occur, no lamps, signs, check engine light, symptoms no were there any error codes produced just prior to this event nor do I believe at the time the vehicle arrived at the dealership on January 26.

Weird shifting Vehicle going neutral out of nowhere while operating the vehicle in traffic (major safety issue)! No codes alerting of any damage Could not go over 20 mph without vehicle completely stalling in traffic No matter how much accelerator pedal was engaged vehicle would not accelerate

About 3 weeks ago my vehicle began shuddering during acceleration only at low speeds, and I had an appointment to regularly scheduled maintenance next week and planned to have the dealer look at it during that appointment. However, 3 days ago, at about 84,479 miles I was merging on to the highway and when I attempted to accelerate to highway speeds the tachometer jumped to 6000 rpm’s and became very sluggish when accelerating. It calmed down, but shortly after calming down, the tachometer spiked again to around 4500 rpm’s at 70mph, the check engine light came on and the vehicle temporarily stopped responding to any input except to raise the tachometer reading. After shifting into manual and back into automatic the transmission reengaged but would not allow for normal acceleration. The vehicle was able to be driven at approximately 30-35mph while the tachometer stayed consistently at around 3500-4000 rpm’s. The trouble codes given were P0700 and P0796, both relating to transmission indicating a problem with it.

On 5/5/2022, I was driving my 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. I pulled into traffic and then traffic briefly stopped moving. When I attempted to accelerate, my truck would not move. When I tried to accelerate, my truck began to roll backwards into the traffic behind me. My truck would only move in reverse. A passerby left his vehicle to assist me with backing up off the road as much as I could due to there being a ditch next to where I was stranded. My husband attempted to back the truck out of the road completely but the truck then slid closer to the drainage ditch. Roadside assistance had to be called and my truck had to be winched out and towed to my home on a flatbed. There were no warning signs prior to this incident. There were no warning lamps, no messages, no unusual smells or sounds nor did it drive differently. The closest GM dealership was unable to assess my truck due to them being backlogged and not having any available appointments. The truck was taken to two separate mechanics that stated that I need a new transmission. One was able to do a diagnostic and stated that the code for speed sensor failure read after the 2nd attempt. When the truck was taken there for repair the speed sensor did not read but instead the main control valve body was the fault code. The repair was completed and two days later the truck would not shift between gears. I had to take my truck to another GM dealer 30 minutes away. They diagnosed my truck and stated that fault code for an irregularity in shift solenoid B showed and that there was metal shavings in the transmission fluid. I also have Onstar diagnostic checks that reported no transmission issues on 04/14/22 and 05/16/22 that there were no transmission issues as well. Now Gm is refusing to address my issues because of the mileage being over the warranty. I could have been seriously injured because my vehicle stopped in traffic with absolutely no warning signs.

Around 84,429 miles accelerated onto freeway and check engine light on and slow to accelerate. Try getting up to speed on an interstate without response when you slam on the gas. Went to shop, generic 700 code many things, but recommend to stop driving immediately. Continued to be be slow accelerating, changing my driving patterns to where I was not turning left unless with a turn light, or driving out of my way to make right turns ( to go Left). After a week (and calling shops) it had to be looked at and diagnosed. Took to transmission shop, Rebuilt was offered for quicker turn around, they could start ASAP. Their comment was we see a lot of this model and keep enough parts for this Tahoe to start. Also noted when dropped off 2 other models of this generation Tahoe were in the shop. And a GMC Sierra around the same period (assuming same Transmission here). Test Drive with Manager, they repair a lot of Chevy Tahoes and suburbans, and Nissans. Those keep them in business. Sister in law was there to get her Nissan Transmission Rebuilt about 3 months prior. (No Toyotas in the shop or Parking lot) I wish I had visited a Transmission shop before looking for new cars, great insight to prevent expensive repairs. After repair last week all is right (as expected when accelerating )This should be a recall at point or at least extend the warranty on the drivetrain and repairs. Just a thought with the complaints here and the Transmission shops. Should be looked at, not just on the 2017 model.

My wife usually drives the Tahoe for short day to day commuting to and from work and bringing kids to practice, but I needed it for work one day and upon trying to accelerate onto the highway I noticed the transmission had no power when accelerating. I took it to a Chevy dealer and they were unable to diagnose the problem due to it not displaying a check engine light nor were they able to guarantee they would be able to determine the problem if they kept it longer for further inspection. I made an appointment with a shop down the road and after an inspection and test drive, they were able to determine that gears 3 and 6 were shot on the transmission. and that the engine was at 100% load going 55 mph. After waiting 4 weeks for a transmission, when we went to pick up our vehicle, he had 2 other Tahoes in the shop (2016 and 2019 with 77,000 and 51000 miles respectively) both needing new transmissions and said he has had many Suburbans and Silverados with same problem around the same miles. Shame on Chevrolet.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and would not accelerate. Additionally, the brakes failed to engage immediately while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred with the gear shifter not shifting into Drive or Reverse. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

Mileage: 103,000

4 days after getting an oil change, new tires, and a safety inspection I was driving to pick up my kids from school and my 2017 Tahoe stopped accelerating on the freeway. Was able to drive 15mph back to the mechanic who told me the transmission was shot. Needs a whole new transmission, estimated to be $6,000 and a 5 week delivery time. Not only that, mechanic said I’m the 3rd Chevy in the shop with the same problem waiting for a brand new transmission.

My Tahoe had been making bad noises for several days, no check engine light on. Was driving with my children and went to pull out onto US-127 and the car wouldn't go in drive. Then to get out of the road I couldn't even go in reverse putting me and my three children in danger. My Tahoe has 82,000 miles and is only 4 years old. The transmission has been confirmed by multiple Shops that is always the problem with these Tahoe's.

Vehicle was driving fine when parked. 12 hours later, I went to move it from my front driveway to the carport. It started fine and when I put it in drive and pressed the accellerater it wouldn’t move. I pressed it again and the vehicle jerked forward into my lawn causing me to brake hard. I put it in reverse and it backed up fine. Again, I put it in drive but it wouldnt go forward. It acted as if it was in neutral. I turned it off and tried again receiving the same results. Had it towed to dealership. Transmission flush performed but didn’t remedy the problem. Needs a total new transmission at 66,000 miles.

I was driving this vehicle in rush hour traffic and the check engine light came on and it suddenly lost power and wouldn't shift gears. I pulled off the road and placed the vehicle in park. At that moment I received an email from Chevy OnStar stating my transmission had a problem and to take it to the dealership. I had it towed to the dealer and was informed that the torque converted had failed and there were metal bits in the transmission fluid. The transmission had to be completely replaced to the tune of $6450.00. This vehicle has under 67K miles. There were no warnings prior to this incidence. This vehicle has been maintained at the prescribed GM service intervals.

Brakes fixed as part of recall. Transmission is recent problem and has since been fixed. Code p0741tcc pump , metal in pan, torque converter coming apart, valve stuff off. Our transmission failed and had to be replaced. When reviewing with staff, no surprises. They were aware that this transmission can be problematic.

I have a 2017 Chevy Tahoe with 77,000 miles on it. I will have it 4 years Labor Day Weekend. I get all the regular service and oil changes on it in a timely fashion. Last week I was driving my daughter to a friends house and there was a tapping sound. The car did not sound right. Suddenly the engine light illuminated and was blinking. The car smelled of gas. Thankfully I wasn't too far from home. I had to drive on a highway to get back to my house. I could only go about 30 mph. It was very dangerous. I had my hazards on but people were still beeping at me since I was causing a safety hazard for myself and others. I managed to get home safely and called the dealership. I dropped my car off the next morning since it is not drive-able. The service rep said it was going in as an emergency. After 5 days they finally looked at it. They did not give me a loaner. If I wanted a loaner I was required to pay $46/day. The rep said the repairs to my 3 year old car wont be covered and it will cost over $5,000 to fix the engine. It is a known engine issue to Chevy corporate bulletin 15-06-01-002H Engine Misfire/tick noise, malfunction Indicator Lamp Illuminated. It is common in 20-15-2019 Tahoe and Suburban. I had to borrow a 12 year old car to drive around my 4 children because my 3 year old car has a bad engine. Ethically how can Chevy require their customers to cover a cost of an engine that they know is faulty. There was nothing that I did to cause this issue. I will never purchase another chevy. SHAME ON PARAMUS CHEVROLET.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THROUGH BIRMINGHAM, AL AND MY 2017 CHEVY TAHOE LT LOST POWER. THE TRANSMISSION HAD ONE INSTANCE OF A HARD SHIFT DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING, THEN JUST FAILED. SHE WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE SAFELY, TRIED TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. HAD IT TOWED TO HENDRICKS CHEVY AND THEY FOUND BURNT TRANNY FLUID AND INDICATED THE PLANETARY GEAR APPEARED DAMAGED. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY HIGHWAY MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE AT NO CHARGE AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEIR 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE MULTIPLE TAHOES IN THE SAME SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A CHEVY FAN ALL OF MY LIFE BUT NOW RETHINKING THAT AS THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THE CODE YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR IS THE P0796 CODE, WHICH IS A FLUID PRESSURE FAILURE. IF YOU RECEIVE THIS CODE, YOU ARE LIKELY GOING TO HAVE TO PAT 4-6K FOR A TRANSMISSION. STEP UP TO THE PLATE CHEVY AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Mileage: 110,000

AT APPROXIMATELY 90 THOUSAND MILES THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 TAHOE PREMIER WENT OUT AND WE HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TAHOE TO LURCH TO THE SLOW LANE AND OFF OF THE ROAD. TRACTOR TRAILERS WERE HAVING TO SWITCH TO THE SLOW LANE AND BACK TO THE FAST LANE TO GET AROUND US AND BACK INTO THE PROPER LANE BECAUSE THE HIGHWAY HAD THE RIGHT SLOW LANE SHUT DOWN. NO SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON AND I DID NOT NOTICE ANY HARD SHIFTING OR OTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE COST FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND LABOR WAS AROUND $4,500.

Mileage: 90,000

AT AROUND 70K MILES STARTED HAVING ISSUES. WENT TO PULL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY ROLLED FWD AND IT WOULD NOT GO ALMOST LIKE IT WAS KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR. THEN AT 100300 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE. PAID 47K FOR A TAHOE AND NOW HAVING TO SPEND $4200 TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. I'M LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T GET HIT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT. GM YOU NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!! THERE IS TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE FOR YOU NOT TO LOOK INTO IT.

Mileage: 100,300

MY 2017 TAHOE FELT LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING LAST NIGHT(3/11/21), I WAS THINKING IT COULD BE BAD GAS; HOWEVER, THIS MORNING WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK IT DROVE GOOD FOR ABOUT 2 MILES THEN IT STARTED SKIPPING AGAIN, MAKING A FUNNY NOISE WHEN I TOOK OFF FROM A STOP SIGN, IT DOESN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS. RPM'S STAY THE SAME.....SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR. THESE VEHICLES COST TOO MUCH FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING!

TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE, NEUTRAL BRAKES WEAR DOWN EXTREMELY FAST.

Mileage: 81,314

MY 2017 TAHOE IS JERKING, NOT GOING INTO OVERDRIVE SMOOTHLY, NOT ACCELERATING EASILY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS YEAR MODEL HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND ALSO CALLED GMC BUT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. WITH THE COST OF THESE VEHICLES THERE SHOULD BE NO ISSUES ON A FAIRLY NEW MODEL AND FROM THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS I HAVE READ HERE GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS.

Mileage: 112,000

MY 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE FELT VERY STIFF WHILE ACCELERATING AND STARTED SUDDENLY JERKING AND BACKFIRING WHILE IN MOTION AS IF WE WERE REAR-ENDED. IT WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS STUCK OR STRUGGLING TO SHIFT GEARS AND BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON . WE TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THINKING IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE BEING STILL FAIRLY NEW BUT WAS TOLD THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY A 3 YEAR OLD CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES THAT'S BARELY BEEN DRIVEN DUE TO COVID NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS THESE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS COULD CREATE UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR OTHER OWNERS.

Mileage: 99,700

TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING ! ONLY HAS LESS THEN 70000 MI ON IT !!! WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS! I WAITED ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES THEN IT STARTED TO GO AGAIN BUT WITH A STRANGE SHUTTERING FEELING . IT SOON STOPPED AGAIN AND SAME THING WOULDNT GO FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN AGAIN IT FELT WEAK AND UNDERPOWERED

Mileage: 67,000

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 10 MILES OUT I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,IT WASN'T SHIFTING RIGHT AND AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD STAY ON ONE GEAR TOO LONG AND THE RPM WOULD STAY AT 4500RPM BEFORE IT SHIFTS AND THIS IS WHILE CRUISING AT 65MPH. AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE I WOULD HEAR A HUMMING/WHISTLING SOUND FROM WITHIN AND I COULDN'T GO PAST 70MPH. THEN THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I GOT TO A STOP SIGN AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY MY TAHOE WOULD HESITATE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. WHEN I GOT TO THE PARKING LOT I TRIED TO BACK-IN TO PARKING SPACE AND MY TAHOE WOULD NOT GO ON REVERSE. AND WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT,WHEN I PUT IT ON DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENS AND AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO GEAR AND JERKED IT FORWARD WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS SO MUCH SO,THAT THE REAR TIRES EVEN SCREECHED A BIT! IT SCARED THE SH*# OUT OF ME. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT WAS DONE TO RECTIFY IT.

Mileage: 67,437

I WAS DRIVING INTO TOWN FROM HOME ONE MORNING AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS ACTING FUNNY LIKE IT WASN'T SHIFTING GEARS. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO OUR LOCAL CHEVEROLET DEALER AND BY THE TIME I PULLED IN WHICH WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES THE TRANSMISSION TEMP WAS VERY HIGH AND WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS AT ALL. THEY EVALUATED IT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THEY COULD JUST FLUSH TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS ONLY A 2017 AND NOT AN OLDER VEHICLE BUT DETERMINED IT NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. COULD HAVE CAUSED UNSAFE CONDITIONS IF IT WOULD HAVE JUST QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION.

Mileage: 102,000

*TAKATA RECALL* I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH MY 2017 TAHOE PREMIER. THE ENGINE BLOCK IS A DEEP RUST COLOR. ENGINE IS EXTREMELY HOT EVEN HOURS LATER AFTER PARKING. THERE IS A THICK BLACK SLUDGE THAT IS ON NEARLY EVERY PART UNDER THE TRUCK. I STARTED HEARING A TICKING NOISE THAT SPED UP AS MY DRIVING SPEED INCREASES. THIS ISSUE OCCURS OFTEN BUT NOT DAILY. AS WELL AS WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY IT MAKES A HIGH PITCHED POPPING NOISE ( THE SOUND IS SIMILAR TO A SMALL ROCK BEING FLUNG ONTO THE ALUMINUM WHEEL) I ALSO HEAR GRINDING NOISES WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. METAL AGAINST METAL IS AS BEST AS I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I DECIDED TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT APPEARS FINE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK OTHER LEVELS ASIDE FROM THE WINDSHIELD FLUID SO I WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS UNDER MY TRUCK I NOTICED HOW THERE WAS A LOT OF RUSTED PARTS. THE (IF I AM CORRECT) EXHAUST HOUSING LOOKED NEARLY BURNED AND THE PRODUCT STICKER THAT IS ON THERE IS 100% BITES. AS IF SOMEONE PUT A LIGHTER TO IT. NOT SURE WHAT ALL THE GUNK IS THAT IS CAKED ON EVERYTHING BELOW THE TRUCK BUT IT CAN'T BE A GOOD THING FOR SURE. ALSO, I FOUND A BOLT WEDGED BETWEEN AN AREA. WHY IS THERE A BOLT AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM? DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE MISSING PARTS ON MY ENGINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE? MY TRUCK RUNS SO HOT BUT NO LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. THIS EVENING AFTER SEEING WHAT I DID MADE ME FEAR THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING MY TRUCK THAT I PAY A HEFTY PAYMENT ON. IT HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD IT ONE YEAR AND AWAYS GET MY SERVICES DONE ON TIME WITH OIL CHANGES AND SO FORTH. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE OR BETTER YET ISSUES. WHO'S GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND HO LONG BEFORE SOMEONE RECALLS MY TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE !?

Mileage: 1,100

SHAKE/SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY AT 72 MPH UP TO AT LEAST 90 MPH. STEERING WHEEL, CENTER COUNSLE, AND SEATS SHAKE. GOES AWAY WHEN NOT ACCELERATING. BALANCED TIRES AND DID NOT FIX. DEALER THEN BALANCED TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED. THIS ALSO DID NOT FIX. DEALER KEPT MY CAR FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS AND REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS STILL DID NOT FIX IT. HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR A 3RD TIME. MAKE ME FEEL DIZZY AND NAUSEOUS.
