2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Tahoe’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Tahoe is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Tahoe transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 Tahoe’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Chevrolet Tahoe transmission fluid leak? Yes. Chevrolet Tahoe transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who can fix my  Chevrolet Tahoe transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Tahoe transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Tahoe with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Tahoe if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
