2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

GETTING ONTO EXIT RAMP AT 50 MPH . BEGAN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY NO BRAKING POWER AT ALL. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME MUSHY, TOOK PRECAUTION TO GET HOME WITH SLOW SPEED. ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM MY DRIVEWAY THE BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. COMPLETE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC BRAKING POWER. COASTED INTO DRIVE AND APPLIED PARKING BRAKE. CHECKED BRAKE LINES AND FOUND ALL BRAKE LINES RUSTED BUT THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH ALLOWING ALL BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. THE BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. *TR

VEHICLE MADE A FULL STOP, DRIVER THEN CONTINUED ON AND PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN, BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND DIC ADVISED OF A BRAKE PROBLEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 3 DIFFERENT TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE, EACH TIME ANOTHER AREA OF THE LINE BURSTING. EACH TIME I HAVE PAID MORE THAN $185 TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. *TR

LOOKING FOR A CONSUMER RECALL REPORT. NO INCIDENT OCCURRED. ATTEMPTED TO REGISTER WITH DATA BASE. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST TO FLOOR, EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO STOP.NO WARNING JUST DRIVING IN COLUMBUS TRAFFIC AND LOST BRAKES. FOUND MASTER CYLINDER ALMOST EMPTY. BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH LEFT SIDE DRIVERS FLOOR/FRAME RAIL AREA. DEALER ESTIMATE $1200 TO$1600. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS ON LINE INVESTIGATION VERIFIES.WEB SITE SHOWS OPEN CASE,NO RE-CALL TO REPAIR. *TR

WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP. THREW SHIFTER INTO PARK BEFORE IT ROLLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND DOWN EMBANKMENT AND INTO WOODS. INSPECTION OF VEHICLE FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM CORRODED BRAKE LINES AT REAR OF VEHICLE ON DRIVER'S SIDE. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED AND MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP. HAD TO USE THE PARKING BREAK AND RUN INTO THE CURB TO STOP. FOUND THERE WAS NO FLUID SO FILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND PUMPED BRAKES. FLUID WAS RUNNING OUT OF THE LINE JUST UNDER THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I INSPECTED ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND THEM SEVERELY CORRODED AND WILL NOW REPLACE THEM ALL. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO CHANGE A STEEL BRAKE LINE WAS ON A 1952 BUICK, BUT THAT WAS IN 1984, WHEN THE CAR WAS 32 YEARS OLD. THERE SHOULD BE EITHER A RECALL OR AT LEAST A NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. I COULD HAVE EASILY WRECKED MY TRUCK AND/OR KILLED A PEDESTRIAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILED IN DUE TO POOR GROUNDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 348.

EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS HUGE PILE OF JUNK, IT HAS BEEN EVERY PROBLEM TO CHANGING FUEL PUMP SEVERAL TIMES, CATALYTIC CONVERTERS,BATTERIES,MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, EVERY GAUGE IN THE VEHICLE IS OFF FROM GAS GAUGE TO SPEEDOMETER TO COOLANT! THERE IS NOT ANYTHING THAT IS NOT WRONG WITH IT. AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND SO MANY TIMES OF BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH 4 LITTLE KIDS IN THE DEAD OF WINTER WITH NO HEAT. I WOULD LIKE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FROM CHEVROLET TO COVER ANY EXPENSE INCURRED WHILE OWNING SUCH A PIECE OF CRAP AND FOR THE HUMILIATION I HAVE INCURRED BY BEING SEEN IN A CHEVY BECAUSE THEY ARE JUNK!!!!!OR WOULD LIKE BOOK VALUE OF VEHICLE SO I CAN GO BUY A FORD BECAUSE THEY RUN FOR 250,000 MILES PLUS!!! NOT 125,000. *TR
