NHTSA Complaint #11385792 — 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE

MY 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE FELT VERY STIFF WHILE ACCELERATING AND STARTED SUDDENLY JERKING AND BACKFIRING WHILE IN MOTION AS IF WE WERE REAR-ENDED. IT WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS STUCK OR STRUGGLING TO SHIFT GEARS AND BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON . WE TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THINKING IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE BEING STILL FAIRLY NEW BUT WAS TOLD THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY A 3 YEAR OLD CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES THAT'S BARELY BEEN DRIVEN DUE TO COVID NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS THESE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS COULD CREATE UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR OTHER OWNERS.
