1995 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

I WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 NEAR GULFPORT, MS. ON 7/20/00. I WAS ON THE DOWNSIDE OF A BRIDGE IN THE RIGHT LANE IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

BATTERY LEAKED ACID, AND FAILED. ALTENATOR FAILED AT SAME TIME. REPLACED BOTH ALTENATOR AND BATTERY BUT CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. FOUND THAT ACID LEAKAGE HAD CORRODED TWO BATTERY CONNECTION CABLES INSIDE THEIR RUBBER HOUSINGS. *AK

DRIVER SEAT BRACKET INSIDE THE SEAT BROKE, CAUSES SEAT TO LEAN ON ONE SIDE. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NOTHING WOULD BE DONE UNLESS COST GO TO CONSUMER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAIL. *AK

EA OO 013; BATTERY LEAKS ACID: VEHICLE BATTERY WAS EXPERIECING PROBLEM WITH ACID LEAKAGES FROM THE BATTERY POSITIVE POST. BATTERY WAS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION IF NEEDED.*AK

EFECTIVE BATTERY DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE PULLING HORSES WHICH MAY CAUSE A CRASH. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM, BUT HAVE REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND OTHER PARTS. BATTERY BEEN REPLACE 4 TIMES. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WE HAVE HAD OUR AIRCONDITIONER SERVICED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT SHOPS IN HOPES THAT SOMEONE COULD FIND A LEAK. ON EACH OCCASSION THE SHOP WOULD PUT DYE IN THE FREON BUT COULD NOT SEE IT LEAKING OUT. A CHARGE WILL LAST ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE GOES FROM ONE DAY THE A/C WORKS GREAT TO THE NEXT DAY HAVING NO COLD AIR AT ALL. THE A/C DOESN'T GRADUALLY FAIL LIKE YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD IF THEIR WAS A FREON LEAK. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT. THANKS.

EA OO 013/BATTERY: VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH ACID LEAKAGES FROM THE BATTERY POSTS. TWO REPLACEMENTS WERE MADE, AND PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING. A THIRD REPLACEMENT WAS MADE AT CONSUMER'S COST, BUT WAS LATER REIMBURSED BY DEALER. *AK *ML

WHILE USING WINDSHELD WIPERS WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WOULD STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.

WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE FORWARD THE REAR END MADE A POPPING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUDER SOUND AND STRONGER VIBRATION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO LOOKED AT IT AND FOUND THE PINION GEARS BROKEN AND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE REAREND. *AK

THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AFTER BEING REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AGO. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IS A VERY GENTLE DRIVER. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS RELATING TO UNSATISFACTORY FRONT BRAKE PAD WEAR ON THIS YEAR/MODEL WITH ABS BRAKES. ALSO, I READ THAT IN JULY OF 1999, GMC HAD INITIATED A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE/BRAKE COMBINATION, BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING. GETTING 20,000 MILES ON A SET OF FRONT PADS (95% GONE WHEN REPLACED) WHILE THE REAR SHOES (REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME) SHOW LITTLE WEAR IS ABSURD IN MY OPINION. IT JUST SEEMS THAT "SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT." *AK
