What are the Common Issues on a Chevy Tahoe?
Some of the issues that caused the Tahoe to have issues were excessive oil consumption, AC malfunctions, coolant leaks, transmission problems, electrical issues, and brake issues.
Not all of these problems were present at the same time, but they are worth noting as they were common for some time. The first one is excessive oil consumption. This was an issue in the late 2000s, and would cause the oil to sometimes seep into the combustion chamber thanks to work out parts.
Coolant leaks were also prevalent on some older models from the 2000s. This would happen due to corrosion on the radiator, leading to the coolant leaking out over time.
Transmission problems were another earlier problem. These range from jerky shifting, to fluid leaks, as well as complete failure in the worst cases. If you suspect that you’re having current engine problems, you can check a recall list depending on year model.
Electrical issues take from in flickering lights, to unresponsive infotainment systems, and erratic dashboard lights. The best way to get this one fix is by bringing it to us so we can run diagnostics.
Brake issues were a more recent problem, albeit a decade old. This was mainly premature brake wear, causing the vehicle to have to get serviced more often, while other drivers reported a faulty anti-lock braking system.
The last issue is one that hits close to home, and this is a malfunctioning air conditioner. We know how hot Texas gets year round, and at times feels like a constant summer. If your Tahoe were to experience this, you’d find that it won’t blow cold air. Other drivers reported refrigerant leaks, and failing compressors. Whatever the issue is, we want to take care of it to keep you cool.
