2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER, MY FATHER WHO BORROWED THE VEHICLE, TO HAVE TO TWO-FOOT THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO GET ANY SORT OF BRAKING TO OCCUR. WHILE DOING THIS, HE WAS MOVING AT A 25-30 MPH AND HAD TO STEER INTO A PARKING LOT. STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY OVER WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. AFTER SOME TIME, WHILE TRYING TO HOBBLE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND USING ONLY BACK ROADS, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN WITH FULL AND NORMAL FEEL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED TOO THAT THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES AT THAT TIME AND THAT ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, ETC. WAS ALL IN GOOD SHAPE AS IS/WAS STILL IN VERY GOOD WORKING ORDER.

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH AT LOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH REAR ENDING VEHICLE IN FRONT BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY PRESSING BRAKE.

MY 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS ASSISTANCE AT 63K MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT'S SEEMS THE OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SEATS STOPPED VIBRATING TO ALERT DRIVER. WHAT I HEARD IS THAT THE CABLES ARE MISPLACED AND WHEN YOU MOVE THE SEAT THEY BREAK. WE ARE TRUSTING THIS VIBRATE SEATS TO HELP US, BUT THEY STOP WORKING ON A ROAD TRIP NOT GOOD. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. THANKS

I HAVE 2016 SUBURBAN. 6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED FEELING HOW HARD IT IS TO PRESS ON THE BREAK PADDLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL OR DOWNHILL. IT WAS SO BAD THAT I ALMOST RAN INTO MY HOUSE 3 TIMES. I HAVE A DRIVEWAY SLOPED DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE HARDSHIP OF PRESSING ON THE BREAK PADDLE AND REPLACED SOME PUMP COSTING ME $750. I END UP TAKING THE CASE TO THE CHEVROLET CORPORAT AND ONLY WAS REFUNDED $325. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THEY SHOULD OF COVERED ENTIRE BILL AND COMPENSATED FOR MORAL DISTRESS I INCURRED. HERE IS A LINK TO SAME ISSUE DISCUSSED: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2017/GM-BRAKE-PEDALS-HARD.SHTML

2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION ISSUE. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN IT STAYS AT A CONSTANT AND EVEN SPEED. SEEMS LIKE WHEN IT GOES INTO THE 4 CYLINDER MODE. THIS VIBRATION CAUSES HEADACHES AND VERTIGO WHEN WE ARE ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY THERE NOW. I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
