2021 Tahoe Is no peach. It’s a LEMON!

[Blaquecalf]

I always wanted a Chevy Tahoe, because I rent vehicles a lot and I am normally given a Tahoe. I like the room, ride, etc. So, for my 55th birthday (12/31), I bought myself a brand spankin' new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe in Oct. 2020. It had four (4) miles on it when I opened the door to look at it. Took it for a sixteen (16) miles text drive and left with it with twenty (20) miles on it. I'm in heaven, loving my birthday present to myself for six (6) months. Then in April the engine light comes on with the message "Service Transmission". A few more miles and the message went to "Service Transmission Immediately or vehicle will shut down" I take it to the shop of course (April 2021). Problem fixed, so I was told. One (1) month later (May), engine light is back on with message "Service Transmission". Take it back to the shop, was told it was fix...again. Two (2) days later engine light back on, same message. Back to the shop. This time I was told it was a power transformer, but was told that it would be a week before the part would arrive due to it coming from Michigan and it being unable to overnight it. Received a call the next day, was told the part showed up that morning and that the tech was able to install it and my truck was ready for pick up. Arrived at the shop, tried to use remote starter to no avail and knew problem was not fixed. I informed the service guy that my remote starter was not working, he tried, did not work; was asked if I tried to start from inside, I said no. He tried, but got the same result as I. He started it from the inside, and low and behold, what did he see?? the damn engine light on with the message "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"!!! after being told that it had been fixed and a new power transformer installed. Needless to say, I left my truck at the shop (May 25th) and the service guy promising me very profusely, that they will fix the problem. But they have been unable to fix it at this point. I said to him, "I am not accusing any one, but either my truck is not being touched or the the issue is beyond fixable making this truck a piece of crap, a lemon. Told him I am calling GM and a few other people about this situation. One should not be having this issue with a brand new 55k vehicle. This is not only the first and last Chevrolet I'm buying, but first and last domestic vehicle I buy. I had Kias and Nissans before and NEVER EVER had any problems with them. Buy American??? yeah right. Never Again!!

I had read where both GM and Ford were having problems with the 10-speed transmission they developed together. That's one reason I never buy the first year of anything(electronics, appliances, cars, etc...)...the bugs are NEVER all out, even for foreign cars!

The 10 speed in the Tahoe started in 2018.
