Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Chevrolet Tahoe system draws the most complaints?
Engine: 600 complaints across 12 model years, 35% of everything owners filed about the Chevrolet Tahoe. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Chevrolet Tahoe year has the most complaints?
2021 (453), 2016 (257), 2023 (222). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
