Every Tahoe Hybrid model year from 2008 to 2011, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Large SUV of the same year.
Scored separately as its own vehicle: Tahoe (2004–2025).
Across 4 scored model years the Tahoe Hybrid needs fixing more often than its class, but when it does, repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2010 is its strongest, 2008 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Large SUV sold that same model year.
| Year | Relative standing | Class rank | Pctl | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | #31 /32 | 3th | Avoid | |
| 2009 | #31 /34 | 9th | ||
| 2010 | #5 /29 | 86th | Best year | |
| 2011 | #30 /32 | 6th |
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Tahoe Hybrid model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Large SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2009–2011), the trouble concentrates in one place: braking system. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Large SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
