Awesome ride!

Love the new design, the overall size is much bigger which is a bonus! I was considering a Suburban originally. Great new dash, sunroof is huge!

Most Problematic Brand New Vehicle I've Ever Owned

I don't know where to start but I am posting on all consumer review forums that I can find to warn people about this vehicle. I'll first start off by saying that GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! Not only for pushing out this defective vehicle but also because of how dismissive and unattentive they are to consumer complaints about the vehicle and denying repurchase claims when the vehicle is clearly A BRAND NEW LEMON! Purchased a 2021 Chevy Tahoe in late October 2020. Beautiful and stylish vehicle- I must say but this vehicle has many many issues. Had to have truck jump started 2+ times- there's a significant draw in battery that's notated on service dept. ticket but tech says its a typo and battery is fine, alignment is off, check engine light and "check reverse rear lamp" comes on intermittently, electrical issues, truck trunk light operation is faulty, it comes on and off intermittently, passenger side door does not unlock from inside, infotainment issues- audio connectivity issues, system update failures that causes battery drainage, The audio volume increases unexpectedly, The rear camera malfunctions at random, displaying the reverse image even after putting vehicle in drive. My passenger side view mirror cameras completely stopped working in which it was recently replaced. Headlight issues where the vehicle's passenger side headlight displays a blue filmy looking hue so dealership service dept. ordered a replacement for only one as the driver side headlight has not started displaying the blue hue as of yet. Emerging transmission issue that dealership service department is avoiding but clearly breaks feel like they are slipping when I go to stop and intermittent burning smells. I put in a repurchase claim a couple of weeks ago with GM that was denied with the reason of : " The dealership service department is working to resolve issues with vehicle." So GM clearly doesn't care about their consumers safety and who in which spend a ton of money supporting their brand. It just seems like when I take the vehicle to be serviced, it goes in with one issue and comes out with 2-3 more. I spend countless time worrying about if my vehicle will be returned completely repaired or not or if the service dept. is sick of seeing me and instead of repairing vehicle is just letting it sit in the back service lot. Did I mention all of the recalls for seat, seat belts, head rests, and fuel tank assembly??? This vehicle has caused me more stress than any other vehicle I ever owned. This is also my first American made vehicle. I had such high hopes for 2021 Tahoe but I regret this purchase and am not the least bit satisfied with all of the issues and dismissive treatment by GM and service department employees. I may be forced to bring about a lawsuit against GM because this vehicle is not safe and very defective. I said all that to say the best thing about this truck is the look, everything else is garbage.

NOT HAPPY. $65K SHOULD BE MORE DEPENDABLE.

Vehicle appears to have BETA Computer Software that has problems not resolved at instalation. Rotation of tires causes computer to give non reliable readings. GPS will not work without ON-STAR subscription which was not informed to me at time of purchase

Great vehicle

Meets all my needs. Great look and superb handling. Not a fan of the dash mounted shifter and for a tall person the legroom is not great. Should make the third seat an option only.

Best Looking SUV on Planet Earth

Purchased as an upgrade to 5 seater Subaru. The size increase is INCREDIBLE. No more bickering from 8yr and 4yr and 1yr old as they sit in totally different rows. The 3rd row is easily accessible thanks to the 2 chair 2nd row config. Diesel engine is superb so far, and music quality is on par with the best of standard options. We paid for the "Cherry Red" paint and i was afraid that it would look like the side of a barn but the metallic sheen perfectly illuminates the new body styles contours. The color is exquisite! My only complaint is that most of the advanced self driving features are gate kept to the luxury models, but I am actually happy to have given those up from the Subaru to have such a good looking and functional full size SUV.

After 5 months no complaints

After 5 months and over 6K miles, we continue to be extremely happy with our purchase. We knew going in that this was a 1st year vehicle and that there could be some issues. Purchased the extended warranty just in case. Yes there are some bad reviews and there are people who have had issues, but you will also find there are many of us who are very pleased with their purchse.

What a ride!!!

The 2021 Tahoe with the new independent rear suspension is like riding on air. The electronics are fully loaded with all you need for comfort and traveling needs for long trips.
