What owners wrote
My 2016 tahoe LTZ has a rough, shaky idle while in park. The pip5211e was performed at dealer about one month ago and condition persists. It is absolutely noticeable to all my passengers who sit in the vehicle while its idling in park! Please help or advise on how to correct this problem. This is not the way a brand new $74k vehicle should run. It feels like the vehicle is going to stall at times. Dealer service department is no help at fixing or addressing the problem.
