I own a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe RST and have experienced recurring electronic/electrical problems despite multiple dealership visits. The vehicle repeatedly displays “Open Then Close” window messages for the passenger or driver window even though the windows function normally. While driving, the infotainment screen has repeatedly gone black, causing the audio/music and audible turn-signal indicator/chime to stop working. On one occasion while stopped at a red light with the vehicle running, the infotainment screen and entire instrument cluster went blank and rebooted. The Chevrolet logo remained displayed during the restart, and the audio and turn-signal chime stopped working. The dealership has been unable to duplicate the issue but has performed software updates. The problems continue. Most recently, the vehicle displayed “Service Transmission Now — Unable to Shift Soon.” The warning disappeared. The dealership then stated the 12-volt battery was low and needed replacement before accurate diagnostics could be performed. I replaced the battery, and afterward the check-engine light came on. A complete diagnostic has not yet been performed because my appointment was rescheduled. I am concerned these recurring electrical/electronic issues, transmission warning, and check-engine light may indicate an underlying safety-related defect. I am requesting that GM formally document and investigate these concerns.

Front passenger wheel has a fracture. The structural integrity of the wheel is compromised and is causing the tire to leak air, which is dangerous and can cause loss of vehicle control and damage to suspension or brakes. It could also cause dangerous blowouts, which causes a safety concern for me and others on the road if that happens. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. Photos were taken and submitted to GM for warranty. The warranty was denied. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else other than the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. The only warning lamps were low tire pressure warning. The fracture was found during inspection as to the cause of the low tire pressure.

Tahoe was purchased new in November 2024. Vehicle currently has around 37,000 miles and has been regularly serviced by GM dealers. On Sept. 9, 2026, was driving in moderate rain and wipers just stopped working. After stopping at a nearby gas station for about 5 minutes or so, the wipers again began working. I am currently having intermittent wiper failure. Sometimes they are really slow even on the “high” setting. Something is wrong with them and fuse was checked and is good. This creates a very dangerous situation that could cause serious injury or death if the wipers (on a new 80,000 vehicle) suddenly stop while driving in rain. This is a serious danger to public safety and GM needs to issue a recall for a fix. Research online indicates GM is aware of the issue under TSB PIE0774, but is not offering resolution to vehicle owners. As well, online research shows a class action lawsuit is pending. The NHTSA needs to take prompt action and direct GM to correct the matter for public safety.

Is 66 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2024 and 2026, roughly 26 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
