2009 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid problems

chevrolet logo

The Chevrolet Tahoe, and its badge-engineered GMC Yukon counterpart, are full-size SUVs and other trucks from General Motors, offered since 1994 and 1991, respectively. Since 1982, Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their "Blazer" and "Jimmy" nameplates, by introducing the smaller S-10 Blazer and GMC S-15 Jimmy for the 1983 model year, below the full-size Blazer and Jimmy models. This situation lasted into the early 1990s. GMC first rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the "Yukon" in 1991. Chevrolet however waited until 1994, when they rebadged the redesigned mid-size S-10 Blazer the "new Blazer," while renaming the full-size Blazer as the "Tahoe." The name Tahoe refers to the rugged and scenic area surrounding Lake Tahoe in the western United States, and was originally used as a trim level on S-10 models. The name Yukon refers to the Yukon territory of northern Canada.

For the 1995 model year, the Tahoe and Yukon gained a new, longer four-door model, slotting in size between the two-door models and the longer-wheelbase Chevrolet/GMC Suburbans.

The Tahoe is sold in North America, parts of Asia such as the Philippines, and the Middle East, plus other countries including Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Angola as a left-hand-drive vehicle. The Yukon is only sold in North America and the Middle East.

The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon are part of General Motors' full-size SUV family and are differentiated from the similar Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL primarily by the length of the passenger and cargo area behind the C-pillar. An upscale trim GMC Denali sub-model joined the Yukon lineup as the top-of-the-line trim for the 1999 model year; the Cadillac Escalade is a closely related upscale version sharing the same platform. The Denali is available on both standard and XL versions.

The Tahoe has regularly been the best-selling full-size SUV in the United States, frequently outselling its competition by two to one.

Common 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid problems

The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. The most-reported problem is the lack of a spare tire, which is not available in the 2009 model. This can be a significant issue for drivers, as it leaves them without a backup in case of a flat tire.

Another common issue with the 2009 Tahoe Hybrid is engine problems. Owners have reported engine knocking and excessive oil consumption, which can be costly to repair.

The 2009 Tahoe Hybrid has also been reported to have problems with the wheel assembly. One owner reported a wheel assembly failure in the 2011 model, indicating that this may be an ongoing issue with the Tahoe Hybrid.

In addition to these specific issues, the Tahoe Hybrid has been criticized for its overall reliability. The model ranks 12th out of 40 Chevrolet models in terms of reliability, with 26 complaints made over six model years. This suggests that the Tahoe Hybrid may be more prone to problems than other Chevrolet models.

Finally, it's worth noting that the Tahoe Hybrid was not a popular model, with few complaints filed for the vehicle overall. This may be due to the fact that it was not a very popular model, or it may be that the vehicle is very reliable. However, the issues that have been reported suggest that some owners have experienced significant problems with the Tahoe Hybrid.

How long does a hybrid battery last in a Tahoe?

Hybrid Battery Replacement Timeline

While a standard auto battery is replaced every two or three years on average, the hybrid battery lasts considerably longer. In fact, your car won't require a hybrid battery replacement until around 150,000 miles or 15 years under normal conditions!

Will a hybrid Tahoe run without the hybrid battery?

While you might think to jump-start the 12-volt battery to get it running, you'll soon find that the car simply won't run correctly without its main, high-voltage battery. So, the best thing to do when your battery goes by the wayside is partner with a reliable company to replace it.

Why did Chevy stop making the hybrid Tahoe?

Unfortunately, the hybrid Tahoe was a victim of timing: When the SUV first came out, there was a recession due to the collapse of the housing market and people were more selective on how they spent their money.

How does a 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid work?

The powertrain can propel the Tahoe to speeds of up to approximately 25 mph using electricity only, while the V8's cylinder-deactivation system helps reduce fuel consumption at higher speeds. Regenerative braking replenishes the batteries by capturing energy normally lost when coming to a stop.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2021-08-06
  • VIN: 1GNFC13C99R
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
  • Summary: Recall #09V154000 should have been performed on my vehicle according to the list of VIN #'s affected, but it never was and I was never notified of the recall. I purchased this vehicle the month before this recall was announced in 2009 and did not start having safety issues until after my new SUV warranty had expired (how convenient). Over the years, I have spent thousands of dollars replacing all kinds of sensors, relays, batteries and various other parts trying to alleviate the unsafe electrical and loss of power issues that this faulty part continues to cause. I have taken this vehicle to my local dealership on countless occasions, complaining that the vehicle intermittently: does not start, the engine suddenly dies while driving on the highway or turning a corner (becoming unsteerable and the brakes won't work), suddenly decelerates, door locks cycle rapidly while driving, the check engine light and other warning lights/alarms come on, headlights and dash lights suddenly shut off, windows or AC stops working, and now the fuel gauge only reads 1/4 tank when I just filled it up. I took the SUV to my local dealer again today, explained the intermittent electrical and loss of power issues and history again and asked why this recall had not been performed or was not scheduled to be performed at any previous time that I had brought the vehicle in for diagnostics or service on these related issues. The service manager admitted that the recall had never been performed, but denied the possibility of the FSCM causing any of these issues, regardless of the recall notice stating they were. He then refused to perform the recall and said I needed to pay $380 to have another diagnostic scan performed. Never scheduling/performing the recall when the SUV was serviced countless times for related safety issues as defined in the recall notice that they never mailed to me and refusing to perform the recall today is a violation of the US NTMV Safety Act and should have consequences!

Negative 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid car reviews

  1. Dee O'Kon 2024-08-23

    I am sorry to hear about the issues you have been experiencing with your hybrid vehicle. It sounds like you have been dealing with a lot of frustration and inconvenience. Have you tried reaching out to GM's customer service team to see if they can offer any assistance? I hope that you are able to find a resolution to these problems soon.

  2. Orville Beier 2024-04-20

    I recently purchased a 2010 Tahoe Hybrid (my third car) with 130K miles and a 6.0L V8 engine. Unfortunately, after driving it for only 3000 miles, the motor broke down. Cylinder 1 & 6 have no compression and the lifters collapsed. While I usually don't buy American cars, this experience has reminded me why. Despite the truck's immaculate body and interior, I now need to find a replacement motor. It's disappointing that American car companies produce such unreliable vehicles. In my opinion, German and Japanese automakers are far superior in terms of longevity. It's a real shame that American car companies haven't learned how to build cars that last.

Positive 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid car reviews

  1. Dock Connelly 2024-09-17

    The incorporation of a CVT on a full size SUV really makes the difference here. It's super smooth and always keeps the vehicle in the perfect RPM range. Although I wish the interior was a bit more modern, my reliability rating is a wash as I have only had the vehicle for a few weeks.

  2. Wayne Hackett 2024-09-10

    I really love this car! I've only had it for a few weeks, but I find myself enjoying driving it more and more every day. When I was shopping for a car, I was considering an 07 Tahoe, but I'm so glad I went with this one instead. Plus, the black color is just fabulous! I've seen some with hybrid decals, but I'm actually glad mine doesn't have them because the gas mileage has been better than our previous minivan. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone!

  3. Jaylen Renner 2024-08-24

    This vehicle is a blast to drive, especially considering its size. The handling is great, and the best part is that it lives up to its fuel efficiency claims. At lower speeds, you can really feel the hybrid technology at work, making it feel like you're driving an electric golf cart. Occasionally, there is a slight hesitation when starting from a stop as the vehicle decides which power source to use, but it's a minor issue. The interior controls are user-friendly and easy to navigate. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of other vehicles in its price range, such as programmable seating, heated outside mirrors, and a 6-disc CD player, I still absolutely love it!

  4. Felix Gutkowski 2024-08-21

    We purchased the Tahoe Hybrid to enjoy its comfort, space, and anticipated gas savings. We have truly enjoyed its performance and handling. Although we had some issues with the brakes, they were promptly fixed. We also had the decals removed. The mileage is satisfactory, but it's great in a lot of stop-and-go traffic and on the highways; it averages in the low 400 miles per tank.

  5. Stone O'Reilly 2024-08-04

    I traded in my H2 Hummer for a Tahoe. It's great on mileage and you get what they say. However, the OEM tires are terrible as they slide on dry pavement and even worse in the rain. I haven't driven in the snow yet, but I replaced them with Goodyear Fortera and it made a big difference. The brakes have a little to be desired. The thing I hate the most is that there is no spare tire or jack, which is crazy.
