Summary

Car is unable to be driven. Transmission needs to be replaced according to chevy dealer, James Corlew, in Clarksville, Tennessee. It has just over 83,000 miles, has never towed anything, not even once. This is clearly a defective transmission as seen in other models/years and Chevy should be covering this. Many, many complaints from other owners regarding this as well as a class action lawsuit that I have read about online regarding this.

Summary

On Friday evening, I noticed a higher revving noise when accelerating at lower speeds. The noise appeared to resolve at higher speeds. The noise continued into Saturday. After driving approximately 90 miles Saturday, while at highway speeds of 75mph, the engine stopped accelerating and began dropping speed. When pushing the gas pedal, the rpm revved up to 3-4000 immediately with no change in speed. Arriving at the destination quickly, I turned the car off. My husband got in approximately 5 minutes later, turned the car on, put it in drive, and the car immediately went backwards. This happened multiple times even though the car was in drive and the accelerator was pushed. The following morning (Sunday) after being turned off approximately 16 hours, the car cranked and drove normally through the yard about 500 feet. The car was then trailered 100 miles back home where it sits awaiting placement at the mechanic shop for diagnosis. At no point, including while driving, were there any warning signs/lights/noises to indicate the engine was failing. Thankfully children were not present in the car at the time, however this could have been a catastrophic event.

Summary

The contact's husband owns a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while her husband had merged onto the highway at 30 MPH, the vehicle began to hesitate without warning upon depression of the accelerator pedal. Her husband pulled the vehicle over and attempted to restart the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was initially towed to their home and then to the dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty transmission. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied covering the cost of the repair due to the vehicle being out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

Vehicle Identification Number: 1GNSKJKC7GR******
Summary

At low speeds while steering, the steering wheel locks up for 1 or 2 seconds causing the vehicle to drive in an unintended direction. This is sometimes accompanied by the electrical system rebooting, and sometimes, there is no warnings at all. It has happened to us 4 times in the last six months. The dealer has had the car twice and is unable to reproduce or diagnose. In addition, sometimes the car has rebooted while driving 60 mph on highways. When this happens, it has engaged cruise control at least three times. I don't view this as unsafe as the steering description given above.

Summary

I HAVE HAD 2 SUBURBAN IN THE LAST 5 YEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED RIGHT AROUND 100K MILES ON BOTH. THEY HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH IT BUT HAVE MANAGED TO GET AWAY WITH IT AS THERE HAS BEEN NO CLASS ACTION AGAINST IT. MY 2015 SUBURBAN BROKE DOWN AROUND 96K MILES AND MY 2016 SUBURBAN AT 101K. I'M SURE IF THIS IS FURTHER RESEARCHED THEN 90% OF THE THESE MODELS MUST HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM AROUND 100K. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SUE GM OVER THIS, AS AFTER SPENDING OVER US$125000.00 ON MAKING PAYMENTS ON 2 CARS AND DON'T HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN TRUST FOR LONG TRIPS, AS IT ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS WITH MY FAMILY ON A LONG TRIP AND HAD TO SPEND THOUSANDS IN MAKING ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET HOME SAFELY. BEFORE MY LAST TRIP, I SENT MY SUBURBAN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 100K MILES SERVICE AT 99836 MILES WHERE I WAS IN WARRANTY WHERE THEY CHECKED AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE FOR THE TRIP AND DID A BASIC OIL CHANGE WITH INSPECTION BUT AFTER A WEEK OF TOURING THE TRANSMISSION BOKE DOWN AT AROUND 101250 MILES. WHERE I HAD TO SHELL OUT $6200 IN TOTAL AS THE CAR WENT OUT OF WARRANTY IN A WEEK TIME. THE BREAK DOWN IS $4500 FOR REPAIRS, $850 FOR SHIPPING THE CAR, $500 IN CAR RENTAL AND HOTEL, $350 BROKEN WINDSHIELD IN TRANSIT. BOTH OF MY CARS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR THE SERVICE AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BUT ITS THEIR DEFECTED TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD NEVER HOLD UP. I'M LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD WANT TO MAKE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS AND BRING JUSTICE TO ALL OWNERS. I HAVE THE VIN FOR BOTH OF MY SUBURBAN WHERE ONE WAS BOUGHT USED WITH ONLY 8K MILES ON IT WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE OTHER WAS BRAND NEW.

I GOOGLED "AIR NOT WORKING 2016 SUBURBAN" EARLIER ON IN THE WEEK. I FOUND A VIDEO SAYING CHEVY HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR COMPRESSORS GOING BAD. WAS HOPING THAT WASN'T THE CASE WITH MINE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY AND HE SAID THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT BAD AND LEAKED. $1025 TO REPAIR. I TOLD HIM MY FINDINGS FROM EARLIER ON IN THE WEEK AND MENTIONED THE VIDEO. HE (MY MECHANIC MARK) STATED HE HAS REPLACED MANY BEFORE. I ASKED SINCE HE HAS REPLACED MANY BEFORE IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE. MARK STATED NOT TO HIS KNOWLEDGE. HERE I SIT GOOGLING "2016 SUBURBAN AIR COMPRESSOR" AND I FIND THIS SITE AND ANOTHER SITE IN REFERENCE TO A LAW SUIT A GENTLEMAN FILED. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHICH IT SEEMS TO BE, CHEVROLET NEEDS TO STEP UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY AFTER READING A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REASON THE AIR COMPRESSORS AREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, LEAKING, AND JUST BREAKING IS DUE TO TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR AIR LINES. *TR

Summary

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 7TH, 2020, I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 SUBURBAN ON ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ROADS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, CA (SR -17). IT IS A WINDY ROAD AND VERY DANGEROUS. MY TRIP FROM SAN JOSE, CA TO SANTA CRUZ, CA IS A 35 MILE TRIP, BOTH 2 LANES EACH WAY AND VERY TIGHT. THERE ARE TURNOUTS BUT VERY TREACHEROUS IN CERTAIN SPOTS. ANYHOW, ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM SANTA CRUZ, I WAS HEADING SOUTH BOUND ON SR-17 AND JUST PASSING (SUMMIT ROAD) ALSO KNOWN AS SR-35. WHEN PASSING SUMMIT ROAD, I STARTED TO DESCEND DOWN THE TWO LANE ROAD AT A SPEED OF 45 MILES. WE ALL CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT AHEAD (WHICH ONE CANNOT SEE BECAUSE OF THE WINDING ROAD AHEAD). AFTER BEING STOPPED FOR A MINUTE, THE TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE AT A VERY SLOW PACE (1 CAR LENGTH AT A TIME). MY FIRST RELEASE OF THE BRAKE WAS SHORT AND I COASTED FOR A SECOND, I APPLIED PRESSURE ONTO MY BRAKES TO STOP. A LOAD ROARING SOUND CAME FROM THE PRESSING ON THE BRAKES AND MY PEDAL PUMPED BACK AGAINST MY FOOT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE. AFTER THE 4TH STOP AND GO, I LOST ALL BRAKING POWER AND NEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE (WHICH IS VERY HARD ON SR-17!). LUCKILY, THERE WAS A TURNOUT ABOUT 1 CAR LENGTH AHEAD AND SINCE I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE 2 LANE ROAD, I BEGAN COASTING WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL SLAMMED ONTO THE FLOOR AND HONKING MY HORN AND VEERING INTO THE TURNOUT WHILE CUTTING PEOPLE OFF (LUCKILY NOT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR RUNNING INTO THE TREE NEXT TO THE TURNOUT). I MANAGED TO GET TO THE TURNOUT AND CAME TO A STOP (MIRACULOUSLY) AND SHOVED THE CAR INTO PARK AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AFTER I STOPPED. *TR

WE WERE COMING TO A STOP SIGN WHEN THE BRAKES BECAME VERY FIRM AND WERE NOT BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE STOP, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED THE TRUCK TO CREEP INTO A BUSY 4 WAS STOP INTERSECTION AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A COLLISION. SHORTLY AFTER, IN A DRIVE THROUGH WHEN CREEPING FROM FULL STOP TO PULL UP SLIGHTLY, THE PRESSURE WAS DIFFICULT TO APPLY TO THE BRAKE AND AFTER FORCIBLY APPLYING PRESSURE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A VERY DELAYED STOP, VERY NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH VEHICLE AHEAD IN LINE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS ADVISED THE ISSUE QUALIFIED FOR EXTENDED SPECIAL WARRANTY PER THE MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF THE POTENTIAL KNOWN ISSUE AND FIRMLY BELIEVE GIVEN THE ISSUE BEING A SIGNIFICANT DETRIMENT TO SAFETY - I'D EXPECT A MORE PROACTIVE SAFETY RECALL AS OPPOSED THE THE PASSIVE BREAK-FIX APPROACH.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2016 SUBURBAN. I HAVE A CONCERN WITH HOW CHEVROLET HAS WENT TO ELECTRIC SAFETY LOCKS FOR THE REAR DOORS. ONE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR SAFETY LOCKS BOTH REAR DOORS INSTEAD OF EACH DOOR HAVING A MANUAL LOCK IN THE DOOR SILL. MY CHILDREN ARE OLDER AND CAN GET OUT THE VEHICLES WHEN SAFE HOWEVER I HAVE A 20 YEAR OLD AUTISTIC SON WHO KNOWS HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR AND AS SOON AS WE STOP HE TRIES OPENING THE DOOR. I HAVE TO TIME IT JUST RIGHT TO LET THE KIDS OUT OF ONE DOOR BEFORE HE CAN OPEN HIS. ALSO SOME TIMES I FORGET TO SAFETY LOCK THE BACK DOORS BECAUSE HE'S NOT ALWAYS WITH ME. THIS HAS BECOME A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH HIM. HE'LL GET OUT OF TRUCK BEFORE I'M OUT SO I CAN'T PREVENT HIM FROM RUNNING AWAY OR INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I ASSUME OTHER PEOPLE WITH MULTI AGE OR ABILITY PASSENGERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I AM ALSO AFRAID THAT NEW BUYERS WITH CHILDREN OR SPECIAL NEEDS PASSENGERS MAY NOT REALIZE THIS "FEATURE" AND SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT PRIOR TO MAKING A VEHICLE PURCHASE. I DO NOT KNOW IF OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. REGARDS, *TR

Summary

I HAVE 2016 SUBURBAN. 6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED FEELING HOW HARD IT IS TO PRESS ON THE BREAK PADDLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL OR DOWNHILL. IT WAS SO BAD THAT I ALMOST RAN INTO MY HOUSE 3 TIMES. I HAVE A DRIVEWAY SLOPED DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE HARDSHIP OF PRESSING ON THE BREAK PADDLE AND REPLACED SOME PUMP COSTING ME $750. I END UP TAKING THE CASE TO THE CHEVROLET CORPORAT AND ONLY WAS REFUNDED $325. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THEY SHOULD OF COVERED ENTIRE BILL AND COMPENSATED FOR MORAL DISTRESS I INCURRED. HERE IS A LINK TO SAME ISSUE DISCUSSED: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2017/GM-BRAKE-PEDALS-HARD.SHTML

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE I HAPPEN TO EXPERIENCE PROBABLY THE WORST EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING. I GOT A ERROR MESSAGE ON MY SCREEN "POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" AT 50 MPH. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. PROBLEM STARTED AT 37,500 MILES. I HAVE BEEN READING COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS AND THEY ALL STATE 2015S AND BELOW WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS ACROSS ALL VEHICLES IN THE CHEVY LINEUP. FOUND A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE TO SEE IF IT WERE A SIMPLE FIX AND IT DID "FIX" TEMPORARILY". PROBLEM CAME BACK EVEN WORSE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WANT $2500 FOR THE PART (ELEC. POWER STEERING PUMP & INSTALLATION). THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES DTC SHOWING WHEN PLUGGED TO OBD PORT. LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER AS THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN AND FOR MY FAMILY.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH WITH MY 3 CHILDREN. I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SO STIFF THAT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE INTERSECTION AS I COULD NOT BRAKE AND HAD TO TAKE THE RED LIGHT. I CAME TO A HALT AS I RAN INTO A PARKING LOT MEDIAN. I TOOK IT TO LAKE CHEVROLET AND FOUND THAT I WAS A 105 MILES OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW I AM LEFT WITH A $1000+ BILL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF GM WOULD NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH+ I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN VEHICLE. I HAVE READ TO MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT KEEPS RETURNING EVEN AFTER REPAIRS.

Summary

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND WOULD NOT MOVE. MY 2016 SUBURBAN LTZ KEPT SLIDING, I STOOD ON THE BRAKE EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T SLOWING AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE. I TRIED AGAIN, IT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE RAIN. TODAY, I WAS IN TOWN AND BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKE PEDAL STUCK AGAIN AND MY SUBURBAN KEPT GOING BACK. THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES PARKED NEAR ME, I PUT IT IN DRIVE ONCE AGAIN AS SOON AS I COULD. I DROVE THROUGH TOWN TO MY NEXT STOP AND CALLED MY HUSBAND TO TELL HIM WHAT HAPPENED. THE SUBURBAN DROVE FINE THROUGH TOWN, I WAS VERY CAUTIOUS AND SCARED. AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING PLACE OF MY NEXT STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL DID IT AGAIN. I HAD ALREADY MENTALLY PREPARED FOR WHAT TO DO IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, SO THIS TIME I MASHED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, JUST BARELY STOPPING BEFORE HITTING THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. MY HUSBAND TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT, HE WAS COMING TO GET ME AND OUR KIDS, WE CALLED CHEVROLET ROADSIDE SERVICE. A WRECKER CAME AND TOWED IT TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. IT WILL BE THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BEFORE THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. DEALERSHIP DIDN'T HAVE ANY COURTESY CARS, SO I AM OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL RIGHT NOW, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. I CAN'T PUT MY CHILDREN'S, MINE, OR OTHER'S LIVES IN DANGER. WE BOUGHT THIS SUBURBAN NEW AND IT HAS 36K MILES ON IT. OF COURSE AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS, SO THAT'S WHY I GOT ONLINE AND BEGAN RESEARCHING, AFTER I FOUND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I FIGURED SINCE THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE, I NEED TO REPORT IT.

ATTACHED ARE IMAGES FROM THE IN-VEHICLE SCREEN OF OUR REAR-VIEW CAMERA AT NIGHT. WE ARE UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING (ROW OF CARS, ROADS, DRIVEWAY, TRAFFIC, ETC) DUE TO THE LARGE RED BLURRY AREA. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS SO THE REAR-VIEW CAMERA IS ESSENTIAL BUT THE CAMERA IS INEFFECTIVE ANYWHERE..THE CAMERA WAS CHECKED BY OUR DEALER AND FOUND TO BE "WORKING." IT WAS A DAYTIME APPOINTMENT DURING WHICH THE CAMERA IS CLEAR.. WE CONTACTED CHEVY DIRECTLY; THEIR FINAL EMAIL STATED "PER OUR DISTRICT MANAGER OF AFTERSALES, THE GLARE IS FROM THE LIGHTS/ BRAKE LIGHTS. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED". SURELY A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED TO OBLITERATE NIGHT VISION DRIVING. AT NIGHT THE CAMERA IS USELESS AND POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ONE IMAGE IS OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH WE CANNOT SEE UNLESS WE LOWER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW TO FOLLOW THE EDGE. THE OTHER IMAGE IS FROM OUR DRIVEWAY ONTO OUR ROAD.THE IMAGE IS THE SAME ON ANY ROAD OR LOT. CHEVROLET SEEMS CONTENT TO LEAVE THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION AS IS AND REFUSES TO FIX OR REPLACE THE CAMERA. SURELY SOME TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE HOPING HAT YOU CAN ACT UPON THIS.WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE STRONGLY ENOUGH HOW DIFFICULT NIGHT DRIVING IS WITH THE CAMERA AS IS. WE CAN FURNISH MORE IMAGES (PARKING LOTS, ETC) BUT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. RAIN MAKES IT WORSE. DEPTH PERCEPTION IS NON-EXISTENT. WE ARE WILLING TO HAVE ANYONE LOOK AT OUR VEHICLE IF THAT HELPS. THE DRIVEWAY PHOTO WAS TAKEN 2/28/2018 AT 7:33 PM THE SECOND IMAGE WAS AT 7:44 PM AT THE DATE NOTED. THANK YOU.

Summary

MY SUBURBAN IS LESS THAN 10 MONTHS OLD AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE THE GLASS BUBBLED UPWARD AND BLEW OUT. GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET REFUSES TO REPAIR THE SUNROOF STATING THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. AGAIN, MY VEHICLE IS 10 MONTHS OLD, AND HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT. I DID NOT WANT A SUNROOF DUE TO THE NATIONWIDE ISSUES OF THE GLASS EXPLODING WHILE DRIVING, OR EVEN WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY; HOWEVER, GM/CHEVROLET FORCES THE SUNROOF UPON YOU WITH THE NAVIGATION AND DVD PLAYER PACKAGE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND I, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. UPON THE EXPLOSION, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND STARTLED ALL PASSENGERS AND CAUSED A DISTRACTION WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL. GM/CHEVROLET STATED THAT I NEED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE. I DON'T SEE HOW A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS MY FAULT. WITH NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS, YOU WOULD THINK THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PRODUCING DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE PRODUCTS. IN MY OPINION, SUNROOFS NEED TO BE BANNED FROM MANUFACTURING DUE MAINLY TO THE HIGH RISKS THEY IMPOSE ON MOTORISTS AND THEIR PASSENGERS. USE TO, THE ONLY ISSUE WITH SUNROOFS WAS THE INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR LEAKING. NOW, WITHIN THE PAST 6 YEARS, WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING PUT AT RISK FOR SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSIONS, AT NOT FAULT OF THE DRIVER. I WANT GENERAL MOTORS HELD ACCOUNTABLE! HAD MY CHILDREN AND I BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE THEN? EVEN IF THE MANUFACTURER REPAIRS MY SUNROOF, MY FAMILY AND I ARE STILL AT AN INCREASED RISK FOR SHARDS OF GLASS TO SPONTANEOUSLY START FALLING ON US AND FLYING INTO OUR FACE AND EYES. FORTUNATELY, ON THIS OCCASION, MARCH 5, 2017, I HAD THE SUNSHADE CLOSED, WHICH PREVENTED SERIOUS HARM.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. IN SNOW, AIR FLOW TO THE SENSOR IS APPARENTLY BLOCKED AND THE TEMPERATURE READS 33, THE TEMPERATURE OF SNOW RATHER THAN OUTSIDE TEMP. . I WAS GOING FAR TOO FAST LAST WEEKEND SINCE IT TURNS OUT THE TEMPERATURE WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-20'S AND I COULD HAVE HAD A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT. I WAS OUT OF SNOWING CONDITIONS AND THOUGHT THE ROADS WERE JUST WET. THE ERROR WILL PERSIST SO LONG AS THERE IS SNOW ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE CASE: OUR PREVIOUS 2001 SUBURBAN GAVE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS, THUS CATCHING ME OFF-GUARD. . THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY CAN BE EASILY FIXED.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE GOES INTO "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED MODE" PREVENTING ANY ACCELARATION. ONCE YOU TAP THE BRAKES - THAT IS YOUR NEW MAXIMUM SPEED. IF GOING UP AN INCLINE AND YOU SLOW DOWN - NEW MAXIMUM SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. TO MAKE A LEFT TURN - THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED BEFORE THERE IS ANY SORT OF POWER/ACCELERATION TO CROSS THE ROAD. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF YOU CANNOT EASILY PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF HARMS WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVY SUBURBAN. RESULTING IN A CLOSE CALL TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN GETTING TOWED THE VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE UP THE TOW TRUCK BED AND HAD TO BE WINCHED UP.

Summary

I OWN A 2016 CHEVY SUBURBAN LTZ PURCHASED FEB 29, 2016. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND FOR A SECOND TIME DEALING WITH A VIBRATION ISSUE STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 43 MPH AND CONTINUING TO WORSEN AS SPEED INCREASES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROAD FORCED BALANCE BUT VIBRATION IS STILL PRESENT. THIS IS THE SECOND SUBURBAN WITH ISSUES, THE 2015 I HAD WAS SO PROBLEMATIC THAT GM DID TRADE ASSISTANCE TO GET ME OUT OF IT, BUT IT STILL COST ME MONEY. THE CURRENT 2016 SUBURBAN AS ONLY 1600 MILES ON IT AND VIBRATION ISSUES BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 900 MILES. I CANNOT DESCRIBE THE INCONVENIENCE AND FRUSTRATION I AM EXPERIENCING FOR A VEHICLE COSTING MORE THAN $70,000. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEIR LACK OF FIXING IT OR ADDRESSING IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF CRIMINAL THEFT. THEY TAKE PEOPLE'S MONEY KNOWING THEIR VEHICLES ARE SUB-STANDARD THEN RELEGATE ME TO A PATHETIC LOANER VEHICLE, TELL ME IT IS "NORMAL" AND IN THE END TOSS A LITTLE MONEY FOR "TRADE ASSISTANCE" RESULTING IN ANOTHER PROBLEMATIC ISSUE. I BEG AND IMPLORE YOU AS THE FEDERAL REGULATORY AGENCY TO MAKE GM ACCOUNTABLE IMMEDIATELY. EITHER FORCE THEM TO IMMEDIATELY FIX THESE VEHICLES, FORCE THEM TO BUY THEM BACK AT FULL PURCHASE PRICES AND STOP THEM FROM SELLING THEM IMMEDIATELY. FRANKLY, THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS VW WITH TDI ENGINES EXCEPT THAT GM IS NOT COVERING IT UP AND FEDS ARE NOT FORCING THE HAND. HELP PROTECT THE MONEY AND LIVES OF US CITIZENS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS!

Summary

2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN THE ROOF IS COMING LOSE FORM THE ROOF BOWS. THERE IS A BAD VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO WONDER THE ROAD. THERE IS A WIND BUFFERING NOISE IN THE VEHICLE THAT IS CAUSING ME SEVERE HEADACHES AND EARS TO POP. IT IS ALSO AFFECTING MY CHILDREN AS THEY CRY MORE THAN NORMAL WHEN WE GO FOR RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE. THE WIND BUFFERING NOISE IS AFFECTING MY HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THE REAR END IS MAKING NOISE IN MY VEHICLE. MY DASH IS RATTLING EXTREMELY BAD AND A PIECE FELL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE DASH AND HIT MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ON THE HEAD AS SHE WAS LAYING IN THE FLOORBOARD WHILE PARKED AT A SOFTBALL PRACTICE. THE PIECE THAT FELL OUT AND HIT HER ON THE HEAD DID NOT EVEN BELONG IN THE DASH TO BEGIN WITH. THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE ALL FOUR TIRES ARE OUT OF BALANCE. THE DOOR PANELING IS COMING LOOSE FROM THE DOOR AND THE DOOR MAKES A SQUEAKING AND POPPING NOISE WHEN IT OPENS AND CLOSES. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS AND GM IS DOING NOTHING TO REPAIR THE ISSUES THAT IS WORKING. ALSO, THE RUNNING BOARDS (POWER DEPLOYABLE) RATTLE REAL BAD FROM THE LIGHT THAT IS IN THE BOTTOM OF THEM. OH, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING. THE BACK LIFT GATES SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO CAVE THE VEHICLE IN WHEN IT SHUTS. IT SHAKES THE WHOLE VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD NOT DO THAT.
