2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Engine Problems

While driving your 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe at 76 MPH on a busy highway, the engine suddenly ran roughly, RPM spiked, and a warning message told you to shut off and restart the engine. The engine then seized (stopped working) in the middle of the left lane, nearly causing two crashes, and wouldn't restart. The dealer determined the engine needs replacement but couldn't identify what caused it to seize in the first place. Addressing this will likely require a complete engine replacement and diagnostic work to identify the root cause.

Your engine died three times while driving 55 mph on a highway with your child in the car, coming to a complete stop and initially failing to restart — creating a dangerous situation with oncoming traffic. Warning lights for low oil pressure and engine problems appeared, and your dealer confirmed the engine needs complete replacement, despite passing inspection just 2.5 months earlier. The issue was identified as a camshaft position correlation problem (fault code P00016). Your dealer will need to perform a full engine replacement, which typically requires removing and installing a completely new or remanufactured engine.

While driving on the New Jersey Turnpike, your vehicle suddenly shut off without warning — there was no check engine light, unusual noise, or other warning signs before it happened. The engine completely lost power and would not restart, leaving you stranded. The issue may be related to fuel delivery, electrical systems, or engine control components that need diagnostic testing to identify the root cause.

Your 2024 Tahoe with a 6.2-liter engine has two major unresolved issues: an intermittent audio system failure affecting the radio, phone calls, and navigation that persists even after multiple dealer service visits and software updates, and an active safety recall (N252494000) issued before your purchase regarding potential loss of engine power that could lead to catastrophic engine failure and increased crash risk. The dealer has been unable to fix the audio problem and cannot service the engine recall until receiving further instructions from GM, while also refusing to buy back or trade in the vehicle per GM Corporate directive. Resolving this will likely require either a complete engine replacement under recall service, a full audio system diagnostic and replacement, or a vehicle replacement through GM customer service escalation.

Your new 2024 Tahoe has had a clanking noise from the engine since purchase in September 2024, which got progressively louder despite the first dealership saying it was normal. In October 2025, the engine lost power during acceleration and then restarted, and a second dealership inspection determined the engine has failed and needs complete replacement. Your vehicle, now with only 10,000 miles, is awaiting a full engine replacement at the dealership.

Your 2024 Tahoe experienced engine stalling twice—first at 35 MPH with knocking sounds, then the next day with hesitation, rattling, and tapping before stalling again. The check engine light came on, and the dealer couldn't diagnose the issue even though the vehicle had passed a related recall inspection 3 months earlier (where an oil viscosity change was made). The problem may involve inspection of the engine for internal damage, oil system issues, or sensor problems that weren't caught during the recall service.

Your 2024 Tahoe is burning through oil unusually fast—losing about 2 quarts every 2,500 miles even after your first oil change at 3,500 miles. The dealer confirmed this excessive consumption rate, but GM says it's normal for the 6.2-liter engine. You believe this is a manufacturing defect related to how the crankshaft is machined and how oil is delivered to the connecting rod bearings, which could lead to premature engine failure. Addressing this may require GM to investigate the engine block machining tolerances or potentially replace the engine under warranty.

Your Tahoe is showing a low oil life warning on your phone, and you've noticed the engine is consuming oil faster than expected. Since a recent recall (L87) that involved switching to a different oil type, you've already had to add a full quart of oil to bring it back to the proper level after just 5,000 miles. Your dealership will conduct an oil consumption test to determine if this is normal or indicates an underlying engine problem.

You received a recall notice for your 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe (Campaign 25V274000) related to engine cooling, but the repair parts weren't available yet. You're concerned about how long it's taking to get the parts and worried your engine could fail while waiting. The manufacturer hasn't provided assistance or a timeline for when the repair can be completed.

Your 2024 Tahoe stalled briefly while making a low-speed turn at 2 mph, nearly causing a crash, with no warning light beforehand. You received a recall notice (Campaign 25V274000) for an engine cooling issue, but the dealer couldn't repair it because the necessary parts aren't available yet. The dealer was unable to diagnose or fix the stalling problem during your visit.

Your 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe is subject to a recall (Campaign 25V274000) related to the engine and engine cooling system. The required repair parts are not yet available from your dealer, even though the recall was issued. You haven't experienced any actual failure yet, but the manufacturer has been notified that the delay in getting parts exceeds a reasonable timeframe.

Driving at highway speeds 70mph, the engine stopped running and vehicle lost all power during heavy rush hour traffic. I was in the middle lane and lost all power breaks and steering, the engine wouldn't restart and I had to force my way to the side of the road. The vehicle only has 21,709 miles and was purchased new less than a year ago. All scheduled maintenance has been performed. The engine is seized and will not restart. There were no warning signs.

When driving on the highway at 75 mph, my vehicle alerted me to add oil. We immediately pulled off the side of the road checked the oil. There was not even a drop on the dip stick. Had to add 3 quarts of oil to even register on the very tip of the dip stick. Please note we were within 100 miles of being due for an oil change. The vehicle is currently at a Chevy dealership to start the process of inspection and do an oil consumption test. This vehicle is my main transportation to take my children to and from school and activities. We live in Larkspur, our children go to school in Monument and we have sports in Castle Rock, so we drive quite a bit. I’m not sure that I’m comfortable with a small fix and using a different type of oil to see if my engine will be salvageable. My questions: Can you confidently let me leave your dealership and guarantee that my family will be safe and know that my engine will not fail due to the recall issues? If my car engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced do you have a comparable loner car until then? If my car engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced can you confidently say this is not going to affect my resale or trade in value? Do you have a recall trade in credit for a 2025 vehicle? I spent $85k on what I thought was a reliable vehicle for me to drive my 2 children around in. My biggest concern is that my engine stops running while I’m on the highway at a fast speed with or without my family. If my husband wasn’t in my car when the oil notification came on, we probably would have lost our engine. How is GM going to make this right and guarantee safety for my family? How is GM going to help with our frustration, anxiety and loss of time dealing with this mistake of selling vehicles with a defective engine? When will I have these answers?

I had a misfire and I bring it to Chevy dealership on 86st Brooklyn ny they did diagnostic And they stated I need a new engine I’m without a car I have wife and kid at home i use my truck to work and feed my family

I was driving on the interstate, when the vehicle went into neutral and I could not put it in the drive. I coasted over to the side of the road and then could not get the car out of park at that point. It was towed to the dealership, and I have been told that it has engine failure and needs a new engine.

[XXX], my Chevy Tahoe engine sized up with a warning light no oil pressure and the engine turned off. I was left stranded on [XXX] with no cell phone service and no OnStar. Good thing I had my SXS. I was able to travel to work at the mine site where I work and was able to get cellphone service. I called my wife and she contacted the dealership and they sent out a tow truck from Richfield, Utah. The dealership said that I will have to pay the tow bill that’s is around $900.00 dollars. And my wife asked about a loaned vehicle and the dealership said that they don’t have any loaners. The dealership called me about three days later and said that the engine had spun three connecting rods. The dealership said it would be two months before they could get a new engine and in the meantime I’m still making payments and I bought the truck for work and I’m left using my wife’s car. When I started doing research I was amazed that Chevrolet has known about this issue with their engines and have not issued a recall. This problem has been going unresolved since 2005 and they just keep selling engines knowing that they will fail. My truck has 17,000 miles on it. The warranty is up at 36,000 miles, so the engine is covered under warranty. But l am left a foot and at their mercy. Very frustrating!
