The REAR end of the truck needs to be repair. The dealership says multiple people have needed to order the rear end.
The vehicle experienced a catastrophic control arm failure at low speed while turn left onto a residential street. the brake line severed, the wheel began to roll under the drivers side of the vehichle.
The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while turning left or right, there was a grinding and scratching sound coming from underneath the front-end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the wheel was rubbing against the wheel well. The dealer completed a tire adjustment. The contact noticed over time that the tread on the front tires had been wearing very quickly. The vehicle was returned to the dealer who determined that the lower control arms had failed. The lower control arms were replaced, and the front wheels were re-aligned. The failure persisted causing the contact to have the wheels aligned 6 to 8 times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000.
I’ve been dealing with an alignment issue since last June when I took in my 2021 Tahoe z71 with air ride suspension. It’s chewed up the stock tires at just 25,000 miles. It’s came out of alignment 3-4 times since then and Chevrolet is doing nothing about it. I’ve spoke with others that have the same vehicle and the same problem. I just purchased tires for $1,100 just over a month ago and I checked the alignment last week and it was out again after City Chevrolet fixed it on January 17th of 23.
