I HAVE A 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN K2500, IT TAKES ME 45 MINUTES TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK, I BELIEVE THE AIR DOES NOT ESCAPE FROM THE GAS TANK AND IT CAUSES IT TO OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING AND MAY CAUSE FIRE IF UNATTENDED SINCE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PUMP TO PUMP FASTER IT OVERFLOWS AND LEAKS ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND COULD CAUSE FIRE, ALSO GASOLINE MIGHT DO HARM TO ENVIRONMENT WHILE OVERFLOWING, SO, PLEASE HELP, ITS WINTER HERE WHERE WE LIVE AND 45 MINUTES AT THE GAS PUMP IS REALLY SOMETHING, THANK YOU-VALENTIN *TR

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND THIS IS THE 5TH. TRANSMISSION I HAVE PUT IN THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION FIRST FAILED AT 15,339 MILES AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 50,525 MILES IT FAILED AGAIN AND COST ME $1802.94 TO FIX. AT 62,823 IT FAILED AGAIN AND A CHEVROLET DEALER IN OKLAHOMA REPAIRED IT,FOR $2279.24, AND GAVE IT A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. 11 MONTHS AND 10800 MILES LATER IT FAILED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CHEVY DEALER IN MISSOURI WANTS $1600 TO REPAIR IT AND SAID THE SAME EXACT PARTS DID NOT FAIL SO THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY!!!!!!!! THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY WIFE AROUND TOWN. ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU LOOSE POWER. *JB

THE ABS ON MY 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN ACTIVATES AT SLOW SPEEDS EXTENDING MY STOPPING DISTANCE. I WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL IN OCTOBER, 2005 WHEN I HAD NO SYMPTOMS BUT TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO SAYS THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. NOW, I AM HAVING THE SYMPTOMS AND GM REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I SPENT $80 AT A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAY IT IS A FAULTY WHEEL SENSOR(LOW VOLTAGE) AND WANT ANOTHER $330 TO REPAIR. THE RECALL LETTER I WAS SENT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT "IN SOME CASES, THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR MAY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT." GM OFFERED ME A 10% DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIR AFTER I CALLED THEM. I FEEL THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT. NHTSA RECALL # 05V379000. *TR

LTR RE HIS 2001 SUBURBAN WHICH CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER NOTICING THE ABS SYSTEM SENSOR APPEARING ON THE DASH BOARD; SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *KB WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, HE DISCOVERED THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER THE CONSUMER JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE, THAT WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS INFORMED THE ABS WAS BAD, BUT IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CAUSE WAS A COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT HAD OVERHEATED AS A RESULT OF THE ABS MALFUNCTION. THE CONSUMER HAD REPLACED THE ABS MODULE PREVIOUSLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR. *JB
