2022 Chevrolet Tahoe
This year drew an ordinary 178 complaints for a Chevrolet Tahoe — the model's median is 205. What they were about is the unusual part: 7.3% of them mention receive, against 1% across the other years of this generation.
Generation 3 of the Chevrolet Tahoe, which began in 2021. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- receive — 7.3% of this year's complaints, against 1% across the other years of this generation (7.5×). Owners wrote it as: receive, fails, happened two, fire hazard.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Tahoe was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
