FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
26 complaints
WHILE MY CARWAS JUST SITTING AT A LIGHT AND THE MOMENT I TRIED TO PULL OFF THE CAR STALLED AS IF IT WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY GAS. IT PUTTED AND THEN IT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. WHILE THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS CLEARLY NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION I WAS REAR-ENDED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS DUE TO MY FUEL PUMP. I JUST PURCHASED MY 2000 CHEVY SUBURBAN IN OCT. 2006. MY QUESTION TO IS HOW LONG DOES THE RECALL LAST? *AK
May 22, 2007
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTERWARDS, THE ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
Mar 16, 2006
DT: WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED AT A REDUCED SPEED. THE ENGINE DID NOT DIE, BUT WITH HESITATION THE SPEED DROPPED FROM 65- 35 MPH. THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE ENGINE COUGHED AND SHOT BACK UP AGAIN. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CONSUMER SERVICE BULLETIN ALERTING THE ISSUE OF ENGINE STALLING. THE CONSUMER LOST H LETTER AND CALLED GM, WHO SAID THIS WOULD NOT BE A RECALL UNTIL NOVEMBER. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED PEP BOYS MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED THIS WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. THE FUEL PRESSURE, TEST THAT SHOWED A LOW FUEL PRESSURE LEVEL AT AN IDLE DUE TO FUEL PRESSURE, DROPPED EVEN MORE. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. GM WOULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR CORRECTIONS. SINCE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS. *AK

DT: THE CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING TO NORTH CAROLINA AT 70 MPH ON 8-8-05, AND HE WAS IN THE PASSING LANE WHEN THE CAR CUT OFF, AND THERE WERE TRUCKS PRACTICALLY ON TOP OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. HE COULD NOT STEER. HE HAD TO GO OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE. THEY REPLACED A 20 AMP FUSE GOING TO THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) HE PICKED IT UP. HE DROVE ANOTHER 400 MILES. ON 8-17-05 THE CAR QUIT AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IN THE FUEL TANK. HE RECEIVED A PENDING RECALL 05V155000 NOTICE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO PERTAINING TO THE FUEL PUMP. HE HAD THE CAR SERVICED BEFORE GOING TO NORTH CAROLINA, AND THEY DID NOT DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. *AK *JB

EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN , I NEVER USED IT, INSPECTION TIME CAME AND I SPENT EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS GETTING BRAKE FIXED. BAD E-BRAKE DESIGN ON TAHOE AND SUBURBANS, NEED TO HAVE RECALL GM.
Sep 08, 2006
I PURCHASED A 2000 SUBURBAN IN FEBRUARY 2004 NAD THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING THEN. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE CABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE AND STILL NO HELP. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DOWN THIS APPEARS TO BE A TREMENDOUSLY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH NO FIX FROM GM OTHER TO REPAIR THE PARKING BRAKE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE EVERY 5K TO 20K MILES. *NM
Apr 22, 2006
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER JACKING THE VEHICLE UP WHILE CHANGING THE OIL THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF THE JACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED. PHONE INTERVIEW UPDATE (APRIL 5, 2006): MR. SUTTON SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN 'N' WHEN HE LIFTED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WITH A FLOOR JACK. THE GARAGE FLOOR HAD A 5 DEGREE INCLINE AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF THE JACK.
Jan 31, 2006
I PURCHASED A 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN NEW IN JULY OF 2000. WITHIN 2 YEARS OF PURCHASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD VERY WELL. LIVING IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THIS SEEMED ODD SINCE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS RARELY USED. I NOTICED IT GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE. IN AUGUST OF 2005 WE MOVED TO A PART OF TEXAS WITH HILLS AND NEEDED THE PARKING BRAKE, BUT IT WOULD NOT HOLD EVEN IF FULLY DEPRESSED. REPAIRS AT THE CHEVROLET DEALER TOTALED $485 PLUS TAX. HOW COULD THE LINING, ROTORS, SHOES, AND RETAINERS OF THE PARKING BRAKE NEED REPLACING IF THE BRAKE JUST HOLDS THE VEHICLE IN PLACE WHEN AND IF USED? THIS SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES
18 complaints
I STARTED MY SUBURBAN LIKE ANY OTHER DAY, STEP ON BRAKES TO RELEASE THE SHIFTER, PUT INTO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEM, I WENT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AKA FREEWAY WITH NO PROBLEM, I NEEDED TO MAKE A PANIC STOP, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, TRYING TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL, THAT ALSO FAILED.. WHEN DID A AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT LIKE THE CHEVY SUBURBAN GAT SUCH A CHEAP MANUFACTURING OF BRAKE COMPONENTS... MY PREVIOUS CAR, 1987 VOLKSWAGEN VANAGON CAMPER NEVER NEEDED STEEL BRAKE LINES REPLACED. THE RUBBER HOSES I CAN UNDERSTAND... BUT STEEL BRAKES LINES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 25 YRS.

STEERING
12 complaints
IN LATE JUNE 2005, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 SUBURBAN. DURING A TURNING MANEUVER HER POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE DEALER DOING THE REPAIR SAID A POWER STEERING ROD HAD BROKEN, AND IT COST JUST UNDER $800 TO REPAIR. LATER, I SAW NHTSA RECALL ID 05V005000, WHICH REPORTS BROKEN SHAFTS IN POWER STEERING PUMPS ON SOME SUBURBAN MODELS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE SIMILARITY SEEMS TOO STRONG TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD BE THE CASE. MY VIN IS [XXX]. *NM UPDATED 07/18/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Sep 19, 2005
2000 SUBURBAN 2500 [XXX] - LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES AT SPEED. MY 73 YEAR OLD FATHER WAS DRIVING MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND WAS ROUNDING A CORNER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND THE BRAKES BARELY ABLE TO STOP. HE WENT STRAIGHT MIDWAY THROUGH THE TURN AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS HE COULD. LUCKILY, NO CARS WERE APPROACHING AND HE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. I HAD THE SUBURBAN TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT A RECALL WAS IN PROGRESS FOR MY VEHICLE AND THE PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE REPAIR ON MY VISA AND THEN BE REIMBURSED. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND THE REIMBURSEMENT FORMS. THEY THEN CALLED ON MARCH 17TH AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE VIN RECALL RANGE BUT WAS IN THE SAME YEAR AND I WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PARTS THAT WERE RECALLED WERE IN MY VEHICLE BUT GM CLAIMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED. HERE IS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION FROM GM - "THE HYDRAULIC PUMP DRIVESHAFT CAN FRACTURE IN THE 98,221 VEHICLES MENTIONED, WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AND CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF BRAKING ASSIST". THE REPAIR WAS OVER $600 BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, MANY OF THE VEHICLES WITH THE BAD PARTS (LIKE MINE) WILL NOT BE RECALLED AND SOMEONE COULD EASILY BE KILLED ( A PEDESTRIAN, A HEAD ON CRASH, ETC). WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CATASTROPHIC STEERING AND BRAKE FAILURE AT THE SAME TIME! NORMALLY, I'M NOT TOO CARING ABOUT THIS STUFF AND I REGARD IT AS SOMEONE ELSES PROBLEM BUT I DON'T WANT THIS BLOOD ON MY HANDS IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I HAD A FLAT TIRE. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE IT, THE SPARE TIRE HOIST WITH LOWERS THE SPARE WAS INOPERABLE AND WOULD NOT LOWER THE SPARE. HAD TO TAKE TRUCK TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE MECHANISM TO LOWER THE SPARE HAD RUSTED AND HAD SEIZED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHICH II DID AND PAID FOR. IMAGINE BEING IN AN ISOLATED AREA WITH FOUL WEATHER AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR TIRE BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT ACCESS THE SPARE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. I DID COMPLAIN TO DEALER WITHOUT SUCCESS OR SATISFACTION . THE CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY STATIONARY AT HE TIME THE EVENT

REAR BACK GLASS IS DETACHING ITSELF FROM THE MOLDING THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW TO THE HINGES OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER LOOK AT THE WINDOW AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE,(ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN PROBLEM FOUND). NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS BUT I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BY GMC SINCE I'VE TALKED WITH BODY SHOPS IN THIS AREA AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. FOR SAFETY IF THIS WINDOW WERE TO SEPARATE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A MISHAP ON THE ROAD. *JB

DEALER HAS WORKED ON PROBLEM FOR PAST 3 YEARS PERIODICALLY - ALWAYS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" UNTIL RECENTLY. THEY REROUTED WATER DRAIN TUBE IN ROOF AREA TO ELIMINATE PROBLEM WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED SHARP LEFT TURN, MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING. DIAGNOSIS AT THE DEALER WAS THAT THE SHAFT ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD SNAPPED. WHILE LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 05V005000 ISSUED IN JANUARY 2005 WHICH APPEARS TO DESCRIBE MY EXACT PROBLEM. I HAD BEEN INFORMED OF SEVERAL RECALLS BY CHEVROLET FOR OTHER PROBLEMS BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VIN NUMBER OF MY SUBURBAN WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER CARE (CASE #71-523372221) AND THEY VERIFIED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE POPULATION OF SUBURBAN COVERED BY THIS ACTION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MATTER. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING OR IF I HAD BEEN TRYING TO AVOID SOMETHING IN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEED, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT KNOW IF I JUST HAPPENED TO RECEIVE AN ISOLATED DEFECTIVE PUMP OR IF THE POPULATION OF DEFECTIVE SUBURBAN IS LARGER THAN CHEVROLET CURRENTLY ACKNOWLEDGES. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED. *TR

CONSUMER PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE AND TRANSMISSION FELT AS IF IT SLIPPED. THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE DRIVESHAFT RECALL 05V005000. *AK *TC

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 60MPH TO 30MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN. ONCE I WAS OFF THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T DRIVE OVER 30MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ISN'T SCHEDULED FOR CHANGING UNTIL 100,000 MILES. HOWEVER, I CHECK IT WHEN GASING UP. THE FLUID IS NEVER LOW OR BURNED. SO THE TRANSMISSION SUFFERED MAJOR MECHANICAL FAILURE BEFORE THE FLUID WAS EVEN SCHEDULED TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND THE MANUFACTURE STATED THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT. I DON'T PULL TRAILERS OR BOATS WITH MY VEHICLE. SO I BELEIVE THERE WAS A FLAW WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH OTHER SURBURBAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR THEY STATED THAT THEY ALSO HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. HOWEVER, THEY HADN'T YET EXPERIENCED FULL SYSTEM FAILURE AS I HAVE. LUCKILY, WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. HAD THEY BEEN THAT INDIVIDUAL OR MYSELF COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 TO 30 ALL OF A SUDDEN. I'VE TALKED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AND MANAGERS AT GM WHO DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD ON THESE VEHICLES EVEN WHEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED OR THE FACT THAT THAY HAD A CUSTOMER WHO SPENT 48'000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE THAT WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER 3 YEARS.*AK

I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUMS (FOR EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIVEHELPER.COM/TOPIC303104.HTM ), AND THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY INVOLVES WIRES THAT ARE PINCHED IN THE STEERING COLUMN DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE TILT WHEEL.

CENTER HUB OF FACTORY ALLOY WHEEL (LEFT FRONT) HAS 2 VISIBLE RADIAL CRACKS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND GM IS REPLACING THE CRACKED WHEEL AND CHECKING THE OTHER 3. *NLM
May 20, 2003
AT THE END OF A 1320 MILE (ROUND) TRIP FROM FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA TO BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA AND BACK, THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL HUB SUDDENLY DISASSEMBLED, LOCKING UP THE WHEEL AND SENDING MY 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN OUT OF CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, I HAD LEFT I-95, WHER I HAD BEEN TRAVELLING FOR 10 1/2 HOURS AT 70 MPH, AND WAS TRAVELLING ON A SIDE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE WHEEL MADE A LOUD, GRINDING NOISE AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP. UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER FOR REPAIR, THE TECHNICIANS EXAMINED THE WHEEL AND FOUND NO APPARENT REASON WHY THE WHEEL SHOULD HAVE DISASSEMBLED ITSELF. I SEE NO OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. CONSIDERING THE WAY THAT THE VEHICLE HANDLED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I AM SURE THAT IF IT HAD HAPPENED 10 MINUTES EARLIER, WHILE I WAS TRAVELLING ON I-95 AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HVE CAREENED OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING MAXIMUM DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF AND FAMILY. COINCIDENTIALLY, I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED JUST THE DAY BEFORE AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, AND HAD REQUESTED THAT THE FRONT END BE EXAMINED PRIOR TO THE LONG DRIVE AHEAD AND DUE TO A RATTLE THAT I HAD NOTICED. IT HAD ALSO BEEN CHECKED APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS PRIOR. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OTHER THAN LUBRICATION THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE IN THE DRIVE SHAFT. THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL NOTICED WITH THE WHEELS, ETC. THE FINAL NOTE IN THIS SITUATION IS THAT I HAVE PAID $570.80 FOR THIS DEFECT TO BE REPAIRED, AND BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK. AGAIN, THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS OCCURANCE, EVEN AT A SLOWER SPEED THAN I HAD TRAVELLED AT ALL DAY LONG.
Jan 14, 2003
ORIGINAL WHEEL HAS A CRACK GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE RIM. NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE RIM JUST A CRACK THAT APPEARS TO BE READY TO CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE RIM. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CRACKED WHEEL WHICH IS VERY SCAREY WHEN YOU IMAGINE OUR FAMILY OF 6 DRIVING AT 65-70 MPH WHILE ON VACATION. I HAVE KEPT THE WHEEL FOR REVIEW BY ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT IN HOPES THAT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THIS MIGHT HELP AVOID UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS. THE CRACK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME AS IT IS NOT A CLEAN METAL APPEARANCE. IT IS FILLED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE ROAD DIRT AND LOOKS AS IF IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE.*AK

ABS/BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS BRAKE CONTROL MODULE MUST BE REPLACED AT COST OF $1100. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY IN MY OPINION AS THE ABS SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I ALMOST WRECKED DRIVING IN RAIN ON JUNE 7, 2004 WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AND REAR LOCKED UP - NOT REALIZING ABS WAS NOT OPERABLE.

WE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON OUR 2000 SUBURBAN LAST FALL AND TOOK IT IN FOR WORK. WE WERE TOLD THE REAR ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT, AND THE FRONT ROTORS REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT MACHINING TO REPAIR. THE BRAKES STILL WEREN'T RIGHT, AND WE NOTICED THE ANTILOCKS WERE KICKING IN EVEN ON SLOW DRY STOPS. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THE ANTILOCK UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT. WE'VE BEGUN NOTICING 'GRABBINESS' IN THE BRAKES AND TOOK IT BACK IN. AFTER ONLY 10,000 MILES SINCE PUTTING NEW REAR ROTORS ON, WE AGAIN NEED NEW ROTORS. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TOLD TRUCKS FROM THE NORTHEAST (WE BOUGHT IT AT AN UPSTATE NY DEALER) ALWAYS NEEDED NEW ROTORS BECAUSE OF ALL THE SALT. THE TRUCK HAS MAYBE BEEN IN NY FOR 20% OF ITS LIFESPAN. THIS MOST RECENT TIME WE WERE ASKED IF WE HAD BEEN TRAILING A BOAT IN THE OUTER BANKS. WE WERE CHARGED $800 THE FIRST TIME TO REPAIR THIS AND NOW, 10,000 MILES LATER WE'RE BEING CHARGED ANOTHER $1200.

BACK WINDOW ON MY 2000 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS A LIFT HATCH WINDOW. IT HAS SEPARATED FROM THE HINGES, WE CAN'T OPEN IT ANYMORE AND I FEEL LIKE IT WILL SEPARATE TO THE POINT OF BEING BLOWN OFF AS I TRAVEL DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CLASS INSTEAD OF FIXING THE SEPARATION OF THE HINGES AND THAT MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER GLASS REPLACEMENT. ALSO I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL GLASS SHOP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO AND WAS TOLD THAT HE HAD SEEN AT LEAST FOUR OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR; THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AND MAYBE A RECALL STARTED BY GM.

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND A 1999 GMC SIERRA TRUCK BOTH VEHICLES HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR HANDLES NOT COMING BACK TO THE PROPER POSITION TO LATCH PROPERLY WITHOUT MANUALLY PUSHING THEM IN AFTER YOU CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS HAS CAUSED MY DOORS TO OPEN AND ALMOST HAVING ONE OF MY CHILDREN FALL OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLES. THE DOOR HANDLES STAY IN THE OUT POSITION WHEN CLOSED INSTEAD OF BEING PULLED INTO THE DOOR HANDLE AND LATCHING. IT ALSO PREVENTS A PERSON FROM GETTING OUT OF THE CAR IF THE DOOR DOES LATCH THEY NEED TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN TO PUSH THE HANDLE IN OR HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE PUSH THE HANDLE IN SO YOU CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR.

THE LOCK ACTUATOR ON THE DOOR BROKE AND MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISOLATED ONE BUT HAS OCCURRED IN MANY CHEVY SURBURBANS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT SOMEONE COULD GET TRAPPED IN THE CAR. *JB

ON ONE DAY WHILE TRAVELING WITH 4 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BACK A CHILD HAD OPENED THE WINDOW ABOUT THREE INCHES, IT THEN STUCK. WHEN WE PARKED HE TRIED TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR, THE DOOR STUCK AT ABOUT SIX INCHES OPEN. AN ADULT PASSENGER PULLED THE DOOR OPEN. THE WINDOW EXPLODED IN ALL DIRECTIONS SPRAYING GLASS ON ALL THE CHILDREN AND THE ADULT. THE CHILD HAD DOZENS OF SMALL CUTS ON HIS LEGS AND ARMS. I HAD THE WINDOW REPAIRED , BUT THE MOTOR WORKED JUST FINE AT THE BODY SHOP. ON SEPTEMBER 10TH THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS MY 12 YEAR OLD SON WHO OPENED THE STICKY DOOR. (THE WINDOW WAS UP THIS TIME) THE WINDOW EXPLODED AGAIN. HE WAS CUT ALL OVER HIS ARMS AND THE FLYING GLASS TOOK PAINT OFF THE DOOR. I HAVE THE CAR AT THE BODY SHOP AGAIN AND THEY WILL TRY AND FIND THE PROBLEM. THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER IS 45 MILES AWAY, WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS OR DOOR HINGES ON THE SUBURBAN. SINCE THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A WRECK AND HAS HAD MEDIUM USAGE THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY. THESE CARS ARE THOUGHT OF AS RELIABLE AND SAFE FAMILY CARS, BUILT "CHEVY TOUGH".

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE ON THIS SUBURBAN. MOST RECENTLY THE TWO ABOVE. I CHECKED THE WARRANTY WORK THAT WAS DONE ON MY SUBURBAN AND IT WAS OVER A PAGE OF CLAIMS. I JUST CANNOT REMEMBER THE DATES THE ITEMS I CHECKED OCCURED. THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WAS LONG IN THE COMING, THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I SPENT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS LEFT US STRANDED 3 TIMES! THIS LAST TIME COST ME $765. TODAY, THE ABS SYTEM DIED. THEY SAY IT'S GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO A $1000 TO REPAIR. I PURCHASED THE SUBURBAN BECAUSE IT WAS SAFE TO CARRY MY WIFE AND 7 KIDS. SO FAR, WE HAVE BEEN STUCK ON THE ROAD, LOST VACATION TIME AND JUST CAN'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE. NOW I DON'T HAVE BRAKES. THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT. KENT DOLD

RE 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 4X4. VEHICLE HAS STEERING DIFFICULTIES (VEHICLE CAN COMPLETELY CHANGE LANES WITHIN 2 LINES ON THE ROAD, LOOSE STEERING AT TIMES, STEERING WHEEL JUMPS WHEN TURNING CURVES) WHICH WERE REPORTED TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER BLAMED TIRES WHICH WERE NOT RECALLED. THE JUMP/POP IN STEERING WHEN ROUNDING CURVES WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION UPON CONSTRUCTION OF VEHICLE-SOMEWHAT IMPROVED. STEERING COLUMN STILL MOVES (FEELS LOOSE AT TIMES) AND FEELS AS THOUGH WILL DISCONNECT OR TIRE ROD WILL BREAK WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. AT 43,000 MILES FRONT END DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPAIRED, JUST OVER EVERY 20,000 MILES BRAKE DISC SEEMS TO NEED REPLACED. VEHICLE DOES NOT GO COMPLETELY INTO PARK OR GEAR AND SOMETIMES POPS OUT (THOUGHT TO NEED LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT, BUT VEHICLE HAS CABLE SO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO REPAIR PERSON). SOMETIMES (FAIRLY FREQUENTLY) SEAT BELTS STILL DO NOT COMPLETELY BUCKLE, THEY WILL POP OUT AT VARIOUS TIMES IF THEY BUCKLE AT ALL(NOT ONLY WITH CHILDREN, BUT WITH ADULTS). VEHICLE SEEMS VERY LOOSE TO DRIVE AND WE FREQUENTLY FEEL AS THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF OUR VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING (INTERMITTENTLY). WE FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. *NLM

ELECTRICAL- POWER WINDOWS INOPERABLE FOR THE FIRST 8 MONTHS THAT WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, INVOLVED 5 TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. BODY DESIGN? PROBLEM - TIRES DID NOT CLEAR VEHICLE BODY WITHOUT RUBBING, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE DEALER KEEPS RECOMMENDING US TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES WHEN EVER THEY SERVICE OUR VEHICLE. BRAKES - POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A KINK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE. I NEED TO SUGGEST TO DEALER THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS FOR A PROBLEM THAT WERE HAVING WITH A NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN YOU PRESS AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER RECOMMENDS THAT WE BUY 4 NEW TIRES, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DIAGNOSES IS THAT WE ALSO HEAR THE NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING! I WONDER IF THEY READ THEIR TSB'S*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )
