2017 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

HI I?M NOT SURE IF THIS WILL EVER BE READ BUT THIS WEEK WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS THE US (IN A BLIZZARD) IN MY 2017 CHEVY SUBURBAN THE VACUUM PUMP ON MY BRAKE ASSIST WENT OUT AND LEFT ME WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKES I WAS LUCKILY ENOUGH TO GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP ALONG WITH THE BELT THAT BROKEN BECAUSE OF IT. THEY DID SAY IT WAS A BAD DESIGN AND WOULD MOST LIKELY GO OUT AGAIN. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME AT ALL TIMES. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE YET BUT I READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I SAVED MY RECEIPTS AND I AM HONESTLY SCARED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND IN MY CAR. I HOPE TO GET SOME KIND OF A REPLY WITH SOME DIRECTION TO TAKE TO GET THIS FIXED. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

BRAKES HARD TO STOP WHEN TRYING TO PARK CAR. FEELS AS IF BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND CAR SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN IN REVERSE

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING. ISSUES WITH AIRBAG WIRING UNDER SEAT. WIRING HARNESS IS ON BACK ORDER MEANING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE RECALLING AND TAKING CARE OF THESE ISSUES. WHEN ONE BUYS A 2017 SUBURBAN AND PAYING OVER $40K YOU DON'T EXPECT TO BE INVESTING MONEY TO BE FIXING SAFETY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKES SEIZED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM HOSE SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD REVIEW THE CONTACT'S CASE AND GET BACK WITH HER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

ROUGH IDLE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. COULD NOT GEAR DOWN WITHOUT JERKING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THREE DAYS LATER ROUGH IDLING AGAIN.

FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE PAD WEARING OUT UNEVENLY. THE INSIDE PAD IS 6MM DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER 3 PADS. VERY DANGEROUS BRAKES WORE OUT IN 4 MONTHS. NOW BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING TERRIBLY WHILE DRIVING. STOPPING EFFORT HAS INCREASED AND FEELS UNSAFE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CHEVROLET OF TURNERSVILLE, 3400 NJ-42, TURNERSVILLE, NJ 08012) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAD A FLAT TIRE ON MY LIGHT DUTY TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH TRAILERING CAPABILITY. TRUCK SPARE TIRE IS RATED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY AND SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK. IF THE TEMPORARY USE TIRE IS ON THE FRONT AXLE WHILE TOWING A TRAILER AT A SPEED IF 55MPH IS IT SAFE IN AN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATION ? IS THE MAJORITY OF WEIGHT NOW ON THE FRONT AXLE? GM TOLD ME THE SPARE IS 17 1/2' THE REGULAR TIRES ARE 18' THE OWNERS MANUAL ALERT THE OWNER NOT TO USE 4WD BECAUSE OF A SMALLER TIRE. IS IT SAFE ? HAD TIRE FIXED AND WENT TO COSTCO AND PURCHASED A NEW FULL SIZE TIRE TO REPLACE THE REPAIRED ONE.

WE WERE IN MOTION AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED COMPLETELY. WE WERE LATER TO LEARN THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) HAD SHORTED OUT. WE LEASED THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD ONLY HAD IT FOR THREE MONTHS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT IN A BUSY ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED, OTHERWISE WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. ON TOP OF THIS, THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TOLD US THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND REQUIRED US TO PAY TO REPLACE THE BCM (INITIALLY THEY QUOTED AROUND $700, BUT THEN AFTER WE COMPLAINED, THEY SAID THEY'LL "SPLIT IT WITH US" AND REDUCED IT TO AROUND $350).

WHEN I BOUGHT THE SUBURBAN IT WAS DAYLIGHT...EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. THEN THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE DARK AND ALMOST HIT A CAR. THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING EXCEPT VERY BRIGHT LIGHT IN YOUR EYES. THAT FIRST FEW MORNINGS I THOUGHT WELL I'LL READ THRU THE MANUAL ABOUT HOW TO ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS. I HAVE NOW LOOKED THRU THE BOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND WE HAVE ESTABLISHED ...THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT OFFERED.. THIS IS A DEFINITE HAZARD AND NOW I SEE FROM A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET..WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY 2014 SUBURBAN DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE...SO THEY MUST HAVE CHANGED SOMETHING, THE ADJUSTMENT..BRAND OF CAMERA, SOMETHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT..IF A PERSON IN DARK CLOTHES WALKED BEHIND ME I COULD NOT SEE THEM BECAUSE OF THE BRIGHTNESS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THEY DON'T FIX THIS.
