2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

THE BRAKING IS SLUGGISH AT LOW SPEEDS, MY WIFE HAS HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES BECAUSE OF THIS. IT TAKES EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND HAS A LONGER STOPPING RANGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM AND THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAVING JURISDICTION OVER VEHICLE SAFETY.

AT LOW ENGINE RPM THE BRAKES BECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AFTER BEING DEPRESSED 1-2 TIMES. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE COMING DOWN A LONG GRADE. I CHECKED WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, BRAKES WERE NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO PRESSURE BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE PEDAL WOULD PUSH TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER TAKING IT TO OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP WAS GOING OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY STEERING WHEEL POPS OR MAKES A CRACKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS USUALLY OCCURRING AT LOW SPEED'S. I MOSTLY NOTICE IT WHEN DRIVING OFF OR SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING A TURN.ALSO MY TRUCK IS LEAKING WATER FROM THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE

AT TIMES, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING. TYPICALLY, IT QUICKLY REBOOTS, BUT AT TIMES WILL NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A HARD TURN AT LOW SPEED, IN WHICH THE POWER STEERING FAILS, WHEEL JERKS, AND ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE BECOME DISABLED, AND HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE OPERATING ON CRUISE CONTROL, WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TYPICALLY SHUTTING DOWN WHEN THE BLINKER IS ENGAGED TO CHANGE LANES. WHEN ELECTRICAL SHUTS DOWN, RESULTS IN COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST, ENGINE POWER, LIGHTS, ETC.

POOR LOW SPEED BREAKING, SPECIFICALLY: AFTER BRAKING, SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE RESULT IN FAILURE OF BRAKES AND OR COMPLETE DEPRESSION OF PEDAL AND LURCHING HAULTS. THIS OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY IN TRAFFIC, CITY DRIVING AND STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS. USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT POSSIBLE AND OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

A/C REFRIGERANT LEAK IN THE COMPRESSOR ON A CAR JUST 3 YEARS OLD. COMPRESSOR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT AS SUBSTANTIAL COST. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC FOR THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ISSUE, GM JUST DOUBLED THE SUPPLY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO CUSTOMERS AND PROFIT FOR DEALERS AND SUPPLIERS.

AT IDLE RPMS, WHEN INCHING FORWARD LOSS OF POWER BREAKS. ALSO WHEN BACKING UP, LOSS OF BREAKS. HAVE TO PUSH ON BREAKS SUPER HARD TO STOP VEHICLE.

HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LEAST 6 TIMES. PEDAL GETS HARD DURING LOW-SPEED CONDITIONS, WHEN EITHER BACKING UP OR WHEN THE REAR AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. LASTS ABOUT THREE MINUTES, THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL

ON JULY 8 I TOOK MY SUBURBAN IN FOR THE 30,000 MILES SERVICE. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE, I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY. I DIDN'T NOTICED ANY PROBLEMS. ON THE 10TH, I STARTED NOTICING MY BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. ALSO IT WAS LIKE IT WAS ROLLING BACK, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WERE AT A SLOW SPEED. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT I WAS OVERREACTING UNTIL IT KEPT HAPPENING. IT WAS VERY SCARY I'M THANKFUL THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. BECAUSE IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. WHEN I GOT HIM I'M ON A SLIGHT HILL & IT WAS ROLLING AS I'M TRYING TO STOP IT WITH MY BRAKES. AFTER TALKING TO MY ADVISOR AFTER 5 BECAUSE I WAS SO UPSET THAT I JUST SPENT 410 DOLLARS ON MONDAY. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY LOANERS HOWEVER THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ME. I ALSO WONDER WHY THEY DIDN'T CATCH THIS ON MONDAY.I DID NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT APPEARED. I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION. SO MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP I DON'T KNOW ANY FURTHER DETAILS YET. THANK YOU
