Consumer Description
On December 30, 2025, I was driving the Tahoe at a highway speed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I experienced two engine shut-offs. I was able to get the Tahoe to the Chevrolet dealer in Midwest City, OK. Advisor Tim took care of the vehicle and said that they "couldn't replicate the problem." He did mention he had to add engine oil because it was a quart low. We noted that we are currently conducting an oil consumption test with a Chevrolet dealer in Elk Grove, Illinois. He said we had a strong case for it, but the Tahoe was safe for traveling back home to Illinois. The following days, the Tahoe performed well without any issues. On January 3, 2026, we left Spencer, OK, and headed back home to Illinois. Without any warning, while driving at highway speed, the engine shut off completely and would not restart. The failure occurred at approximately 9:00 pm on a pitch-black expressway about 40 miles from Rolla, Missouri. I was traveling with my wife and two children. We were stranded on the highway shoulder. A state trooper was dispatched for safety. The Tahoe required a tow over an hour later, and we had to take a Lyft to a hotel. Logistics at that time in that location were complicated. Our family was terrified for our safety. Today is Sunday, and the nearest dealer is closed. We will have it dropped off tomorrow, January 5th, and go from there. We do not know how we are going to get back to Illinois. We have work and my son has school. The vehicle is currently disabled and under manufacturer warranty. This was a serious safety incident involving loss of engine power at high speed.
