An issue recently started occurring where it will stall momentarily and not move while in gear. The engine will rev, but is not transferred to the wheels. It has progressively gotten worse in the last few days. On 5/4/21, the vehicle stalled in the middle of the road and would not move.

Tahoe feels like it wants to shift gears when it's not going above 25mph. It's happened on city streets. It happens as soon as the Tahoe is put into gear. It does not happen all of the time though. It goes away after I drive it for a couple of miles. It has not happened on the highway. Other times it feels like there's no power to the engine even when its in motion. At first I thought it was the brakes because it feels like its stuttering, like its misfiring, but I've had the brakes checked and they're fine. There's also a check engine light that the mechanics I've taken it to can't decipher why its on. I can't remember the first time it happened, but it has happened several times, and I don't know what the mileage on the odometer was when it first happened. I've had the Tahoe for 4 years now.

I first noticed the vehicle did not want to go a couple times after being at a red light. Acted as if it was in neutral and then would abruptly shift. Check engine light was on. Have just over 83,000 miles on it and was very good at getting it maintenanced. I had the oil changed 3 days before and at that time I mentioned about what was going on but they would have to have the vehicle for much longer to check it out and I could not wait. 3 days later while in drive the rpms were reving up while in motion on the street but the vehicle would not accelerate forward. I had it towed to a mechanic and was told the transmission was blown. The vehicle did not have that many miles on it for this to happen I feel.

Safety problem- transmission is shuddering. Car stopped - pulling out into traffic, car hesitates to move and feels like its in neutral while pressing the gas then finally violently jerks into gear. Car drives as if transmission is slipping. RPM is fluctuating. Car also has a weird vibration - transmission shudder. This is a life threatening issue

Went thru the car wash and the car filed up with gas fumes on my way home sitting at a stoplight the fumes came thru the vents.eyes were burning it was so strong I also had to put a new transmission at 90,000

On September 12, 2020 vehicle had a rough idle and tried to stall at the first stop made after car sat for a few hours car did not stall completely. At the second stop at a red light, the vehicle stalled, was put into park and re started. Every time the vehicle came to an idle it stalled for the duration of the trip home. Every time the vehicle stalled it shut off very violently and jumped forward. This would have caused an accident had there been a vehicle in front of me. It felt as if I was rear ended. Vehicle sat over night and was test driven the next day and problem seemed to go away. Idle was a little rough and the vehicle also ran slightly rough while driving. At this point no check engine or dashboard lights were on and all gauges seemed normal. Car was driven almost every day as normal, approximately 60 miles a day 4 days a week with no obvious problems and only a slightly noticeable rough idle and rough drive. Today, September 26, 2020, two weeks later, the vehicle was driven 30 miles after sitting over night and sat for 8 hours. Within 2 miles of driving the vehicle after sitting for the 8 hours, the vehicle was having severe problems shifting into the appropriate gear and the RPM was all over the place. The speed of the vehicle was extremely difficult to control and easily could have caused an accident. The vehicle was able to go approximately 2 more miles. After the vehicle came to a stop at a red light, I tried to accelerate and the vehicle did not move forward. The RPM was going up, the engine was running, and the vehicle was in drive but acted like it was in neutral. I tried putting the vehicle in park and back into drive with no success. I also tried turning the vehicle off and re starting it with no success. The vehicle blocked traffic and was in an unsafe location until a tow truck came and moved the vehicle.

Had vehicle worked on and transmission started acting up after got truck back.

- Palmyra, VA, USA

Purchased car with 120 miles, about 25K miles I noticed small delay in acceleration when going from complete stop. Mentioned to dealer they stated all was ok. At 50K miles the delay in acceleration was far more noticeable. I would accelerate and RPM would go up to 4,5 OR6 before car would move start to move. Brought back to dealer, did road test with tech and he acknowledged that something didn't feel right stated he would have transmission specialist look it over. After having car for 2 weeks we did another road test with master technician and he stated hard shifting was normal acceleration for this truck because of variable transmission. He said ultimately there are no trouble codes so car is 100% fine. At 63,000 miles the transmission gave out! I drove car on highway about 145 miles with no issue, I was driving on a city street when I stopped at a red light. The light turned green and when I pressed on accelerator car would not move. Finally after a few seconds of engine revving car jerked back and rolled forward slightly. Was able to drive car into strip mall parking lot. Took back to dealer and they are saying the transmission is out but can't explain why we still have no trouble codes! they are not willing to cover because it is 3,000 miles out of warranty.

Transmission seems to be slipping while in drive. Revs high but doesn't shift into gear nearly leaving me strained at an intersection after traffic light changed. Would struggle to get up to speed while shifting through the gears. I bought vehicle used with approximately 85K miles in April 2019 and previous owner had all the maintenance completed as required. The vehicle has roughly 90K miles on now. Vehicle has been sitting at Chevy dealer in imlay city, Michigan almost two weeks and they have yet to repair the vehicle. I've used this vehicle to tow my boat. When in reverse and backing boat into water at boat ramp I've applied the brakes and it seems to take a second or two for the brakes to react making it feel like the vehicle is still moving in reverse. Not sure if this an issue with the recent brake recall Sept 2019 or transmission issues.

While driving down a city street, transmission slips and/or does not catch on acceleration. Jerking motion as it searches to catch gears. Faint burning smell.

Tahoe has been in the shop 9 times in one year, "service 4WD", "slow to 3mph to shift to 4WD low" and "service stabilink". vehicle has tried to pull to the right while driving at highway speed, almost causing loss of control. GMC has replace several shorts in electrical system ( while never finding cause).

I put our Tahoe into park and went into a convenience store. Unfortunately, when I came back my Tahoe was gone. It had rolled down and out of the parking lot into an electric pole guide wire. But, after much research, video replay and trying to duplicate the problem, I think I might understand happened. You can actually put the gear shift lever in a position where it thinks its in park, without the transmission being in park. The indicator says its in park, and the doors unlock, thinking its in park, but the transmission isn't actually locked in park because the lever is in an up position and not back. If you hit the power button with the lever in this up position, and get out of the vehicle without looking at the display saying the "shift to park", the car can roll because its actually in reverse. For me no display should say its in park if its not.

Vehicle stutters and loses power and lunges after coming to a complete stop and taking off ususally between 2nd and 3rd gear and 3rd and 4th gear. Has been idling rough as if it is missing or out of time. Veh has had a power surge and accelerated independently. Has down shifted from 4th to 2nd while travelling up hill and veh slowed and would not shift again. Veh has to be turned off and restarted.

On 3 separate occasions, the 2016 Tahoe I am driving has jumped from drive to neutral while driving down the road at speeds between 45-60 mph. On one occasion, I was fortunate to avoid a major accident while merging on the interstate. I have since turned the vehicle in. GM dealerships in baton rouge, la refuse to fix the vehicle. I have seen quite a few complaints on this same issue and hope that GM steps up to the plate before someone dies. Owners around the world need to be notified because somewhere someone may have already lost their lives in an accident and did not live to tell about why the accident occurred. The family should be getting retribution from GM. Very sad. My last GM vehicle.

While driving on highway, when needing to accelerate to pass vehicle using medium to medium heavy acceleration, instead of transmission kicking down to passing gear, it hangs up into neutral and engine revs up to and pass redline before I was able to release accelerator pedal. After letting off accelerator when the engine winds down to around 3500 revs it severely engages into gear with a loud bang and jolts the entire vehicle. This has happened 3 times and is going in to dealership in 4 days. Vehicle has 4473 miles on it. Vehicle also has several other severe electrical issues but after exhaustive procedure to have GM replace or buy back vehicle they have refused. This is my fourth Tahoe and will be my last. A loyal Tahoe owner for a long time and the new one is the worse. Terrible customer service for a vehicle of over $77,000 and less than 5000 miles on it.

While traveling on the pa turnpike 3/31/16 apprx.3:00 pm, I experienced total transmission failure. Only after seeing smoke emitting from the vehicle, would the heavy traffic allow me to pull to the shoulder. I put the trans into park and back into drive, allowing me to move appx 100 yards to a safer pull off. The vehicle is at the dealer and GM has been contacted case # 8-1908837872. No further contact by me to GM, or from GM to me.
