Overview & Reviews

All models get the previously optional Premium Ride suspension. LS Tahoes get six-way power driver and front passenger seats, along with foglights, heated outside mirrors, side-mounted assist steps and a programmable HomeLink transmitter for opening garage doors or automatic gates. The 5300 V8 is now capable of running gasoline/ethanol fuel blends.

• Strong engines, roomy interior, truck-like durability.

• Spotty build quality, dated interior design.

  Got a Lemon - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By joshmatt - April 26 - 11:09 pm

  We bought our 2002 Tahoe with 99K on it. It was super clean. Within the first 3 months we replaced the rack and pinon steering, and the front A/C condensor. One year later we replaced the back A/C condensor. Then it began to die while driving, let it cool off and it would do it again, all b4 125K. I think I got a lemon because everybody else gets 200K from them. I loved our Tahoe and I am going to buy another one, if I get burned again it will be the last one I buy, but I really dont expect that to happen.

  Run dont walk away - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Corey - September 8 - 3:57 pm

  The transmission went out initially at 75k miles, then again with 97k miles on it (luckily under the 36k warranty). Now with 106k miles on it the flex fuel sensor has gone out, and guess what? It is a dealer only part (quote for $800.00 from dealer to fix) You can buy on-line from GM for about $300.00 vs $500.00 at the dealer (love the markup) All in all I will never own anything from Government Motors again, worst reliability of any vehicle I have ever owned. Which is saying something as I have owned an old IH Scout which lasted longer and caused me less head aches.

  Like a knock, it was loud as it could be - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By The knocker - November 28 - 9:38 am

  Ive been bitten by the piston slap GM engine at less than 25k miles. The dealership is hesitant to do anything other than give me the "carbon-top runaround." Id be wary to ever own another GM product. The warranty isnt worth the paper it was written on. At this point the dealers refuse to look at the truck when I tell them that the engine is making noise. Sadly, my next vehicle purchase (Jan 05) will be affected by this unfortunate situation.

  Frustrated As Hell - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By Garry98117 - July 14 - 2:00 am

  Recently upgraded from my 1998 Tahoe LT to this one. Big mistake, in under 4k mi. the power-steering pump shaft broke (making my return trip from the lake the best upper body workout of my life). After 3 days waiting for a new PS pump, got it back and now I am blowing interior light and sunroof fuses every 15 minutes for no apparent reason. Transmission clunks loudly when I pull my small boat, and still having trouble with climate control system (A/C goes on for no reason, and no it was not set on auto)! If possible I will unload this albatross and buy 1999 Landcruiser with 45k Mi.

  Hope its good - 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe
  By ppineda - June 18 - 2:00 am

  Had Toyota or Honda vehicles all of my life. Since we have baby coming soon, we thought wed get into a bigger vehicle and something with towing capacity since the tent is not going to cut it anymore. I have my fingers crossed and I hope i didnt get into a mess with this new vehicle. So far, 1200 miles or so, and no problems other than paying for gas. pp Oregon
