I WAS FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER IN ORDER TO AVOID BE HIT BY PASSING VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, THE SUBURBAN STARTED UP AGAIN. WE STARTED DRIVING AGAIN BUT AGAIN ONCE I TRIED TO ACCELERATE OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE THE SUBURBAN WOULD SHUT DOWN AGAIN. AUTO MECHANIC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DO THIS. VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY. 2ND COMPLAINT: CLUSTER PANEL WENT HAYWIRE. SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, OIL GAUGE NOT READING PROPERLY ETC. EVENTUALLY, THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL SHUT DOWN. HAD TO REPLACE IT AT A COST OF ABOUT $500. 3RD COMPLAINT: DRIVERS SEAT FUNCTIONS AND HEATING MECHANISIM MALFUNCTIONED. THE DRIVERS HEATED SEAT STOPPED WORKING AND THE SEAT CONTROLS MALFUNCTIONED.

AUTO MECHANIC CLAIMED THE DRIVERS SIDE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT WAS BAD. HAD IT REPLACED AT A COST OF $300 BUT STILL DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL HEATED SEAT ELEMENT WAS NOT BAD EITHER. *TR

REAR TAILGATE GLASS HAS SEPARATED FROM THE GLUED ON HINGES AND DROPPED DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING DESIGN, QUALITY ISSUE AND HAS HAPPENED ON A LARGE NUMBER OF SUV STYLE CHEVROLET VEHICLES AS CAN BE SEEN USING A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH CONCERNING THIS ISSUE.

HEARD RATTLE AND A WIND NOISE AS IF A DOOR OR WINDOW WAS PARTIALLY OPEN. REAR LIFTGATE GLASS PASSENGER SIDE HINGE PARTIALLY SEPARATED FROM WINDOW GLASS, ALLOWING THE STRUT WHICH LIFTS THE WINDOW UP NORMALLY TO PUSH THE TOP EDGE OF THE WINDOW UP ABOUT AN INCH. WHAT MAKES THIS DANGEROUS IS THAT IF AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE WIND COULD HAVE EASILY CAUGHT THE LIFTED GLASS EDGE AND STRESS IT ENOUGH TO SHATTER AND INJURE SOMEONE OR DAMAGE A FOLLOWING VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY AND I NOTICED THAT ON THE COMPUTERIZED DASHBOARD, THE SERVICE TIRE MONITOR WAS FLASHING. I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER, THE GAUGE WENT UP TO 120 MPH AND EVEN THOUGH I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THE GAUGE IS STILL AT 120 MPH. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY GAUGE IS NOT WORKING, BECAUSE THE GAUGE IS NOT MOVING AT ALL AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE RPM GAUGE, I WAS ONLY PRESSING THE GAS SLIGHTLY, THE RPM GAUGE WENT UP TO THE MAXIMUM LEVEL. WHEN I WAS COMING BACK HOME FROM WORK THE SAME DAY, WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE I FELT IT RIGHT AWAY THAT WHENEVER I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE IS JUST MOVING SLOWLY, UNTIL IT STOPPED MOVING. I HAVE IT TOWED TO BILL HEARD DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WAS TORE AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NEED TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 67,880 MILEAGE AND WE ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 1/2 YEARS. FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM, ABOUT A CONDITION THAT MAY DEVELOP ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS WHERE ONE OR MORE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGE NEEDLES MAY STICK, FLUTTER OR BECOME INOPERATIVE AND MAY CAUSE INACCURATE READINGS, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE KEPT THAT LETTER AND CALLED THE GM AND I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS JUST WANDERING, BECAUSE IT ALL HAPPENED IN ONE DAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING ISSUES BEFORE 100K MILES: 1. REPLACED FUEL PUMP 2. ENGINE OVERHEATING(TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT 2X FOR ISSUE) 3. OIL PRESSUE - LOST OIL PRESSUE 4. TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED *TR

WE WERE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON US HWY 131 JUST NORTH OF KALAMAZOO, MI. OUR WILDERNESS AT P255/70R16 SHREDDED AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO ROLL OVER. THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY $2400 PLUS $197 FOR TWO TIRES. WE BOUGHT SUBURBAN FROM A FORD DEALER IN WI IN DECEMBER 2011. THE TIRES WERE ON THE VEHICLE. WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE RECALLED AND ALSO WERE 14 YEARS OLD. WE WENT TO THE FORD DEALER TO SEE ABOUT BEING REIMBURSED FOR THE TWO TIRES THAT THEY KNOWINGLY PUT ON THE SUBURBAN. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY PUT THE TIRES ON BUT CLAIMED IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO KNOW ALL THE TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WE THEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FIRESTONE. NINE MONTHS AFTER WE FILED THE COMPLAINT, SENT THE EVIDENCE, ALL PAPERWORK, THE TIRE WITH SHREDDED PIECES, AND COST OF REPAIRS, WE RECEIVED A NOTE THAT FIRESTONE WAS NOT LIABLE, THAT THE TIRE WAS 14 YEARS OLD, AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR ONE TIRE. THEY SAID THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT PROPERLY INFLATED. WE TOOK THE AIR OUT WHEN IT WAS SENT BECAUSE UPS WOULDN'T TAKE IT WITH AIR IN IT. WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE SECOND TIRE. IT HAS EXCELLENT TREAD. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING FROM LOOKING AT IT THAT IT IS A HAZARD. SHOULDN'T A TIRE COMPANY THAT RECALLED TIRES HAVE TO REPLACE THEM EVEN IF THEY ARE OLD? WE HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW THAT THE TIRE WENT COMPLETELY BALD AND NEVER WENT FLAT. *TR

I HAD A FLAT TIRE ON A 2004 CHEVY SUBURBAN. AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF TRYING, I WAS NOT ABLE TO RELEASE THE SPARE TIRE HOIST ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE I COULD NOT ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE, I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO COULD NOT GET THE SPARE TIRE TO RELEASE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE "BAD" HOIST. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO USE THE SPARE HOIST SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AGREED. THE DEALER ALSO SAID IT WAS MY FAULT FOR ABUSING THE HOIST (DRIVING ON DIRT ROADS) AND NOT PROPERLY SERVICING THE HOIST. NO WHERE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL DOES IT TALK ABOUT SPARE TIRE HOIST MAINTENANCE. THE TOTAL COST FOR A FLAT TIRE WAS OVER $400 AND 7 HOURS OF MY TIME. *JB

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 WHICH I BOUGHT USED IN 2006. SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE BACK DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK EITHER WITH DECREASED SPEED OR WITH THE HAND HELD REMOTE. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO REACH BACK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH YOUR HAND. NOW, IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, THE REMOTE STILL WORKS BUT IT IS NOT UNLOCKING ANY OF THE DOORS AND YOU MUST USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVERS DOOR. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE MOTORS IN EACH DOOR FOR THE LOCKS AND THAT REPLACING THEM ARE EXPENSIVE, SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY KIND OF RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED AND DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL. THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. AT 40,000 MILES, THE DEALER ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT DID NOT CHECK THE ROTORS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,539 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 03/14/08.*LJ THE POWER WINDOW MOTORS, UNIVERSAL JOINTS AND SHOCKS ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED

I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2, 2012 THAT INDICATED THAT THE TIRES I PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED FROM PEPBOYS WERE DEFECTIVE AND COULD BLOW APART WHILE DRIVING. THE TIRES HAD DOT SERIAL NUMBER UT T6 PA7. SO, I TOOK THE LETTER AND VEHICLE BACK TO PEPBOYS BUT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL. IN ANY EVENT, THEY DID REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT ARE STILL SELLING THE DEFECTIVE TIRES BECASE THE TIRES THEY INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE, FOR THE SECOND TIME, HAD DOT SERIAL UT T6 PA7. SO, IT APPEARS THAT I AM STILL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES.

2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. CONSUMER STATES UNSATISFACTORY TRANSACTION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO LOWER THE SPARE TIRE ON HIS VEHICLE. THE TIRE WAS STORED UNDER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON A CABLE LOWERING MECHANISM. THE TIRE WOULD LOWER ONLY FOUR INCHES BECAUSE OF A SECONDARY LATCH SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE RELEASED ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE CONSUMER SPENT HOURS OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD OF TIME, TRYING TO GET THE TIRE LOWERED TO THE GROUND. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM RELEASE IT. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT LOWER IT EITHER. THEY REMOVED THE ENTIRE MECHANISM AND THE TIRE AND AT THE CONSUMERS REQUEST THEY PUT IT IN THE CARGO AREA. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS CONCERN WAS THAT THE SYSTEM WAS IMPROPERLY DESIGNED. IT WAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUST AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHICH COULD ALLOW IT TO MALFUNCTION. *JB

THE REAR WINDOW LIFT HINGE ATTACHED TO THE GLASS TO THE TAILGATE IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS HINGE ONLINE, I LOCATED SEVERAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD CAUSE SEVERAL PROBLEMS IF THE GLASS WERE TO SEPARATE DURING TRAVEL AND SHOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR CHEVROLET. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $1,300.00 FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT WILL JUST RE-OCCUR WITH IN A FEW YEARS AS SOME OF THE COMPLAINANTS OBSERVED ONLINE BY NEW OWNERS OF 2 YEARS. THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND NOT DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TARE. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHORTS OUT AND GEAR INDICATOR GOES BLANK. NO MESSAGE CENTER INFORMATION WARNINGS ARE DISPLAYED. PART IS DEFECTIVE AND CAR MAKERS SHOULD REPLACE IT. NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR VEHICLE IS IN CAN LEAD TO DEATH IF VEHICLE LEFT IN NEUTRAL AND ROLLS AWAY. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. ALSO 4L60E TRANSMISSION ON THESE VEHICLES FAILS AND STARTS SLIPPING BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE SUN SHELL AND REAL PISTON SEAL. GM SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE BAD TRANSMISSIONS. WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR LIFE. WHY SHOULD SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PART TO REPAIR FAIL UNDER NORMAL USE? RECALL ! BOTH THESE PARTS FAIL WHEN DRIVING. ALL WARNING OF VEHICLE CONDITIONS ARE SENT TO FAILED CLUSTER. VEHICLE WAS MADE IN MEXICO FOR RE-IMPORTATION AND SALE IN USA AND MAYBE PARTS SUPPLIERS IN MEXICO PROVIDED DEFECTIVE PARTS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED FINANCIAL LOSS TRYING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS, LASTLY, THE EMISSION SOLENOID NEAR THE TANK ALSO FAILS. VEHICLE MAY NOT PASS EMISSION. *TR

ODOMETER FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED. IT COST ME APPROXIMATELY $750.00 TO REPAIR THE 2004 TAHOE. I OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS ITEM HAD TO BE REPLACED IN SEVERAL VEHICLES, BUT AT THIS TIME THERE WAS NO RECALL. SO I HAD TO PAY! *AK
