Powertrain (other) reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers.

Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE IN MOTION. WITH MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. JUST IN REGULAR DRIVING I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION, AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL WORK DONE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW BACK AGAIN WITH FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SAYING CYLINDER 6 MISFIRING. I'VE ALREADY SUNK IN OVER 4K IN THIS AFTER BUYING IT LAST YEAR IN DEC.OF 2017. AFTER READING COMMENTS THIS REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL. WITH SO MANY OF THE SAME CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN LISTED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

LIKE TO PLACE A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND THE HORRIBLE QUALITY OF VEHICLE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND ITS HORRIBLE. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO A MASSIVE RECALLS FOR THESE VEHICLE. AGAIN, CHEVY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THERE ARE SO MANY REVIEWS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUS THERE IS A PROBLEM. WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN NOR WILL I RECOMMEND CHEVY VEHICLES!! *TR
