2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT DROVE INTO A PARKING LOT AND TESTED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FITZGERALD AUTO MALL FREDERICK (114 BAUGHMANS LN, FREDERICK, MD 21702) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,020.

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW BADLY MY 2015 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS RESPONDING TO A SIMPLE DAILY DRIVE! IF YOU WANT TO SEE A TERRIBLE RIDE, COME TO MY HOME TOWN SO I CAN TAKE YOU ON THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE! I HAD MY SUBURBAN AT THE DEALERSHIP TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS, WIRES AND CLEAN MY THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T 'THROW A CODE!' ON TOP OF DOWNPLAYING THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ISSUE, THEY CHARGED ME A COOL $90 FOR PERFORMING A DIAGNOSTIC THAT SHOWED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! CHEVY NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE. MY SUBURBAN IS STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND I FEEL LIKE CHEVY IS TRYING TO WAIT FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THAT I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS PATHETIC!

TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING 'ROUGHLY' BOTH IN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING CONDITIONS. SO ROUGH THAT MOVEMENT WITHIN THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCED BY DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING BRAKING AND DECELERATING CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO MAKE NOISE AS SHIFTS OCCURRED IN THE TRANSMISSION (LOUD BANGING OR KNOCKING SOUNDS WERE HEARD). THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION. EVENTUALLY THE TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED MORE UNSAFE CONDITIONS WHEN GEARS WOULD NOT ENGAGE DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS ON INCLINED SURFACES FOR SEVERAL INCHES TO SEVERAL FEET BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT. IF TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ON ANY INCLINE THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO USE BRAKE TO PREVENT ROLLING BACKWARD AND MAKING IMPACT WITH VEHICLE BEHIND.

I DON'T HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY SUBURBAN, IT'S A GREAT VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT IS AFTER SEEING SO MANY NEWS ARTICLES ABOUT BABIES BEING LEFT IN CARS AND DYING OF HEAT I BELIEVE THE NHTSA NEEDS TO REQUIRE ALL NEW CAR SEATS MUST BE BLUE TOOTH CAPABLE AND A PRESSURE SWITCH IN THE CAR SEAT.....AND IF THE CAR IS CUT OFF FOR MORE THAN 1 MINUTE, BUT THE SEAT STILL HAS A BABY IN IT, THEN THE CAR SHOULD START FLASHING LIGHTS AND HONKING (JUST LIKE WHEN KEYS ARE LEFT IN THE CAR). THE ONLY WAY CAR SEAT AND VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS ARE GOING TO DO THIS IS IF THE NHTSA REQUIRES IT-JUST LIKE BACKUP CAMERAS KEEP KIDS FROM GETTING RUN OVER ACCIDENTALLY THIS REQUIREMENT WOULD KEEP FORGETFUL PARENTS FROM CAUSING ACCIDENTAL DEATHS AND SAVE LIVES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER LEAKING DOWN FROM THE ROOF INSIDE THE VEHICLE EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH OR WHEN IT RAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONKLIN CHEVROLET SALINA (2700 S 9TH ST, SALINA, KS 67401, (785) 201-3517) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE ROOF NEEDED TO BE REMOVED TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5410228962. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

LOSS OF GPS, ONSTAR, XM AND COMPASS FUNCTION. WATER HAS LEAKED INTO THE ROOF MOUNTED SHARK-FIN ANTENNA. VEHICLE HAS LOST COMPASS, GPS, ONSTAR AND XM CAPABILITIES. DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACING ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNA. DESPITE THIS BEING A KNOWN PROBLEM ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHEVROLET IN SB-10058785-9942 THIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND CUSTOMER WILL BE CHARGED OUT OF POCKET FOR ANTENNA REPLACEMENT.

I BROUGHT MY 2015 SUBURBAN LTZ (63,000) INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR A HORRIBLE BANGING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AND WAS HAVING A HARD TIME CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR POT HOLES. AT FIRST THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD US THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND AFTER SOME FIRM CONVINCING, THE TECH CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THE SHOCKS WERE INDEED LEAKING IN THE FRONT. WHILE I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY GOOD FOR 72 MONTHS OR UP TO 75K MILES AND THE PART IS LISTED AS STRUTS UNDER HE GM CODE, THE COST IS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY NEARLY $1800 TO REPAIR. WE REALLY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR GIVEN THE NOISE IS NOT ONLY LOUD WHEN THE CAR HITS A BUMP BUT ALSO THE PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING HAS NOT BEEN GREAT SINCE THE NOISE STARTED. AFTER RESEARCHING IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM! WHY ISN'T THE NHTSA LOOKING INTO THIS? GM KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DOES IT TAKE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT TO GET ACTION ON THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.
