2004 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Problems

TAKATA RECALL. THE GAUGE CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING. NOW THE IGNITION AND AC WILL NOT WORK. OIL PRESSURE SENSOR READING WRONG. TOOK IT TO GET CODE READ AND 35 CODES CAME UP. HAD TO PUT ON A TOGGLE SWITCH JUST TO START IT. CANT SEE SPEED AND THAT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. THINK ALL OF THIS IS DUE TO WATER LEAK ON DRIVERS SIDE. STEERING CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING TODAY. THIS REALLY NEED TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN TO THE MANUFACTURER AS IT COULD REALLY GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED.

VEHICLE GAS GAUGE AND ODOMETER GAUGES CLUSTERS ARE NOT WORKING THIS PUTS US IN DANGER I DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I NEED AND HOW FAST I WAS GOING THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE IT WAS A CLUSTER DEFECT

RUSTED BREAKE LINES, PARKED IN DRIVEWAY COULD NOT USE BRAKES AFTER STARTING THE CAR

THE BRAKE FLUID LINES RUSTED AT THE AREA UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL, CAUSING THE FLUID TO LEAK UNEXPECTEDLY, THUS RENDERING NO BRAKES. THE LEAK HAPPENED ON MY VEHICLE AND ANOTHER IN THIS SAME AREA. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE COULD BE IS A PROBLEM IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE LINES DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND BECAUSE ITS TOO CLOSE TO THE WHEEL SALT AND ROAD CONDITIONS CAUSES THIS AREA TO RUST MORE EASILY. HE'S HAD A NUMBER OF CHEVY SUB. WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM IN FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST INCIDENT. I DROVE IT HOME FROM OVER TWO HOURS AWAY, DROVE IT ALL AROUND THE DAY BEFORE, NO PROBLEMS. THEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BYPASS AT ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF! I HAD NO POWER STEERING, NOTHING! I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, SHUT IT OFF AND ONCE I TURNED IT BACK OVER IT WAS JUST FINE. SO I CAUTIOUSLY STARTED DRIVING, IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD ONLY THIS TIME IT STALLED THEN REGAINED POWER AND QUICKLY SHUT OFF AGAIN. ONCE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT WAS FINE, IT DID THIS TO ME 5 TIMES WITHIN 5 MILES. I ALMOST GOT HIT TWO OF THOSE TIMES BY OTHER VEHICLES, ONCE WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO A ROAD. I AM GLAD MY KIDS WERE NOT IN IT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE ON TWO LANE ROADS WITHOUT ROOM TO PULL OVER. *TR

I WAS TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A POP THAN SOME GRINDING SO I LISTENED AND IT WAS COMING FROM FRONT TIRE. I JACKED IT UP THE WHEEL WAS LOOSE AND WHEN U FREELY TURNED THE WHEEL U HEARD GRINDING FROM THE BEARINGS BEING NO GOOD. I THINK THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY IS OUT I WAS LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FROM 2007NFOR THEM THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 07E106000 I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THIS TRUE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE GM INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STEPPER MOTORS AND LIGHTS HAVE FAILED. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AND THE FUEL LEVEL AS WELL AS OTHER IMPORTANT ENGINE INFORMATION.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON BOLTS BROKEN ON EXHAUST MANIFOLD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 THE TIRE WENT FLAT. THE TIRE HAD SEVERAL CRACKS AROUND THE SHOULDER AND APPEARS SEVERAL WERE GETTING READY TO CHUNK OFF. A COUPLE APPEAR TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE TIRE CAUSING THE AIR LOSS.

WE HAD TO CHANGE A REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE AND THE SENSOR CONTROL WAS BROKEN. WE TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE. WHEN RETRIEVING THE SPARE WE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT OFF THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER WINCH. AFTER STRUGGLING WITH THE SPARE TIRE FOR 30 MINUTES WE GOT IT RELEASED AND WHEN WE TRIED TO HOIST THE WINCH BACK UP, IT WOULD NOT GO UP. WE TRIED REPEATEDLY FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. WE HAD TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE TIRE WINCH HOLDER PART SO IT WOULDN'T HANG DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN CALLING ALL MORNING TO TRY TO FIND THE PART AND DRAPER CHEVROLET SAID THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART BUT MAINLY WHEN CUSTOMERS ARE TRYING TO RETRIEVE THE TIRE. MY INCIDENT IS DIFFERENT SINCE IT WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. DRAPER CHEVROLET DID NOT HAVE THIS PART IN STOCK AND I HAVE BEEN CALLING SALVAGE SHOPS AS WELL WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING WITHOUT A SPARE AND I DRIVE 60 MILES A DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE BECAUSE THE OTHER TIRES SENSOR STEM BROKE ON ITS OWN. WHEN CALLING DRAPER CHEVROLET THEY SAID THE PART COST $170.42 NEW BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. I WORK 8:30 A.M. TO 6:00 P.M. MONDAY THRU FRIDAY AND CAN ONLY TAKE CARE OF THIS ON THE WEEKEND. WHICH THIS WEEKEND IS CHRISTMAS DAY. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY PREDICAMENT AND CAN HELP ME IN SOME WAY TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. I COME FROM A GENERAL MOTORS FAMILY AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON GENERAL MOTORS DOING THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE, THE SUN ROOF ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN RIPPED OFF NARROWLY MISSING THE CAR FOLLOWING US. THE SUN ROOF WAS CLOSED AT TIME OF THE INCIDENT. OTHER THAN WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN AIR LEAK, THERE WAS NO WARNING OR OTHER INDICATION OF PROBLEMS. THE SUN ROOF HAS RARELY BEEN OPENED SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND DEFINITELY HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN THE PAST 2 YEARS AT LEAST. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AIR CONDITIONING INTERMITTENTLY BLOWS HOT AIR ONLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE USING THE DUAL ZONE AC CONTROL. GM HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WHILE RESEARCHING FOUND THOUSANDS OF CHEVY OWNER ALL WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND WITH NO REAL FIX. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BATTERY/LOSS OF POWER AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE BEING DEFECTIVE. *TR

2004 SUBURBAN WITH LESS THAN 65000 MILES, CUTS OUT DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, UPHILL OR DOWN HILL. VEHICLE GIVES NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS LIGHT UP, JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER. CAN START BACK UP SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY, SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 4WD SUBURBAN 1500. WITH 2 WD DRIVE SELECTED AND DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 5 MPH TO 60 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 7 OR 8 TIMES. EACH TIME WAS IN TRAFFIC WHICH REQUIRED ILLUMINATING EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD. EVERY TIME PRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS FORTUNATE IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ON ONE OCCASION I HAD JUST PASSED A SEMI ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD JUST PULLED BACK INTO TRUCKS LANE WHEN IT OCCURRED. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR REMAINS IN "DRIVE", THE DASH SELECTOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED IN 2WD AND I GET NO MESSAGES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL MESSAGE CENTER. TO TROUBLESHOOT I SELECTED "AUTO 4 WD" ON DASH SELECTOR AND OPERATED FOR A WEEK WITH NO PROBLEM. I THEN SELECTED 2 WD AND THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED WITHIN 2 HOURS OF OPERATION. ONCE I STOPPED, I SELECTED 1,2,3 AND R ON GEAR SELECTOR WITH NO EFFECT. SELECTED NEUTRAL AND TURNED IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED WITH NO EFFECT (ON PREVIOUS OCCASION I HAD SELECTED PARK WITH VEHICLE RUNNING AND NOTICED A GEAR GRINDING NOISE SO DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN WITH ENGINE RUNNING). TURNED IGNITION OFF WITH GEAR SELECTOR IN NEUTRAL AND SELECTED AUTO 4 WD AND THEN RESTARTED ENGINE WHICH TOOK CARE OF PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING IT WILL TRY AND ENGAGE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. IT HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND THEN AGAIN THIS WEEK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR HATCH WOULD NOT OPEN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. UPDATED 04/20/16*LJ *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE; DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DEFECTS; HEAD LAMPS & LOOSE STEERING COLUMN. BIGGEST ISSUE IS TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. SITUATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT WAS NIGHT-TIME DRIVING WITH LITTLE OR NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE. OTHER FAMILY VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR GOES OUT GRADUALLY, AS THE LIQUID THAT DEFROSTS THE MIRROR GOES BAD AND LEAKS INTO THE MIRROR. THIS MIRROR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE, AT THE COST OF $400+. THIS MIRROR IS ALSO A HAZARD AS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO USE THE MIRROR TO ADEQUATE LANE AND TRAFFIC MANEUVERING. THE STEERING COLUMN ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE LOOSE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, AS OF TODAY'S DATE, TO CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AS IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING CAUSING A "SHUDDER" AROUND 55 MPH OR LOWER IF I AM HAULING SOMETHING. WE TOOK IN TO DEALER WHO SAID THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH IS BAD AND THEY CAN REPLACE IT OR PUT IN A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST TO US OF $3,300. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND TSB #050730017 WHICH OUTLINES THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS KNOW BY GM I FEEL IT SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THEM. THE TECHNICIAN THAT HANDLED OUR REPAIR SAID THAT THE TRANNY FLUID SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 25-30K MILES SINCE WE LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA AND OCCASIONALLY PULL A SMALL HORSE TRAILER. THE MANUAL STATES THAT IT SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 50K MILES WITH NO REFERENCE TO TERRAIN. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE ISSUE OR HOW TO CORRECT IT. *TR

THIS PROBLEM CONCERNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE SEAT HEATER SWITCH, LOCATED ABOVE THE DRIVER'S DOOR ARMREST, TURNS ITSELF ON WHEN THE CAR IS OPERATING. THE HEATED SEAT BECOMES EXTRAORDINARILY HOT RAPIDLY AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO TURN OFF - EVERY BUMP AND JAR IN THE ROAD TURNS THE LIGHT AND THE SEAT BACK ON. THE LIGHT'S LOCATION WHICH INDICATES THE OPERATION OF THE HEATED SEATS IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AS WELL - ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN IS STRONG & I'M WEARING SUNGLASSES. LOOKING DOWN AND AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC IS FAIRLY DANGEROUS. THIS DISTRACTION COULD EASILY EVOLVE INTO AN ACCIDENT AS THE DRIVER IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO TURN THE HEATED SEAT OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS ITEM "REPAIRED" ONCE, YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT WAS TRYING TO DRIVE IN A TORRENTIAL RAINSTORM ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OVER FOR SAFETY BEFORE I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT. THE MINUTE I PULLED BACK ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE HEATED SEAT TURNED ITSELF BACK ON AND STAYED ON FOR THE NEXT 250 MILES. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH A 2004 SUBURBAN THAT SUFFERS FROM THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE TAKEN THE FUSE OUT OF THE CAR THAT CONTROLS THE HEATED SEATS, BUT THAT ALSO AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO READJUST THE SEAT POSITION FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DRIVERS. THE HEATED SEAT DISTRACTION COMBINED WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SWITCH ARE DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED.

WE HAD TO CHANGE A REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE AND THE SENSOR CONTROL WAS BROKEN. WE TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE. WHEN RETRIEVING THE SPARE WE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT OFF THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER WINCH. AFTER STRUGGLING WITH THE SPARE TIRE FOR 30 MINUTES WE GOT IT RELEASED AND WHEN WE TRIED TO HOIST THE WINCH BACK UP, IT WOULD NOT GO UP.
