Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Tahoe owners report experiencing a loud pop and dragging sound while accelerating, accompanied by engine revving but issues with the speedometer and transmission. These symptoms may indicate a misfiring engine, which can cause shaking and unusual sounds during acceleration. Additionally, some owners have noted that uneven tire wear can lead to increased noise and vibrations as they accelerate. Others have reported a loss of power during acceleration, suggesting potential engine performance issues that result in the engine revving without an increase in speed. Furthermore, a whirring noise when pressing the gas pedal at higher speeds may indicate problems with components under the vehicle, contributing to the dragging sound. It is recommended that affected owners have their Chevrolet Tahoe inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve these issues for safe and smooth operation.
