2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEATED ELEMENTS NO LONGER ARE FUNCTIONAL. TEMPERATURE DOESN'T GET WARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS WAY, AND MECHANICS SAID GM MADE THE LOW TEMP MANDATORY, TRIED TO EXPLAIN, NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE INSISTED IT WAS A GM MANUFACTURING ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION HAS JUMPED AND NOT SHIFTED SMOOTHY SINCW 20,000 MILES. AT 100,000 MILE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT.WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 45 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET TAKEN TO A DEALER HOWEVER, DAVIS GAINESVILLE CHEVROLET (2600 N MAIN ST, GAINESVILLE, FL 32609, (352) 519-4131) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE MOTOR LOSES POWER OR FEELS LIKE WANTS TO TURN OFF. WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE SUV SOMETIMES TRYS TO BRAKE BY ITSELF AND WARNED THAT SOMETHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME WITH A CLEAR FREEWAY.

VEHICLE HAS HAD BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR 2 YEARS NOW, CULMINATING IN COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON 12/20/20.

THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A MONTH. FIRST TIME I WAS PARKED AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, I TRIED TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND IT SEEMED TO LOCK UP AND ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. AFTER ABOUT A SECOND IT ALLOWED ME TO USE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH AT RESTARAUNTS, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. THE RADIO WILL QUIT PLAYING. IF I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT THE RADIO WILL WORK ONCE AGAIN. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES THIS, NONE OF THE TURNING SIGNALS WORK.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND DEALER CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. IT WILL COME ON WHEN STARTING CAR AND GO OFF OR STAY ON WHEN DRIVING. STARTED HAPPENING AT 55000MI. NOW 153000 AND STILL INTERMITTENT.

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.

SUBURBAN HAS 125,000 MILES. NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVING FINE. STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND PUT IT IN PARK. WHEN IT WAS PUT BACK IN DRIVE, IT WOULDN'T GO. THE RPM'S REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. AFTER STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RE-STARTED VEHICLE. IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND GOT US TO A SAFE LOCATION. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS WE TRIED TO GO ANYWHERE, IT CONTINUED TO NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. IT WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION PUMP WAS OUT. ADDITIONALLY, THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING 3-4 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN TRANSMISSIONS EVERY MONTH. ALL WITH LOW MILES.

ROLLLING DOWN MY DRIVE WAY MY BRAKES WENT OUT. VERY SPONGY. PRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP WITH THE HELP OF MY FRONT BUSHES. MASTER CYLINDER IS FULL BRAKES ARE LESS THAN A YEAR. I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2014-2018 CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUVS. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. HEAVEN FORBID MY KIDS WHERE IN THERE TOO. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY CHEVY.
