2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON DUE TO INTERMITTENT HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP LEAK. WHILE GM HAS RECALLED SOME VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM UNDER RECALL SB-10057680-1621, BULLETIN, 14858. GM IS NOT COVERING THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES MATCH THE RECALL FOR SIMILAR MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING.

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO FIND SOURCE OF LOUD TAPPING NOISE. DEALER SAID IT WAS AN UNUSUALLY NOISY BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER, BUT WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. 3 DAYS LATER, AS I ROLLED INTO A DRIVE THROUGH, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STOP. I AM ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH CONSISTENCY. AT LOW ENGINE SPEED, THE BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PUSH AFTER 4 OR 5 PEDAL APPLICATIONS. THE POWER BOOSTER IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH VACUUM AT LOW ENGINE SPEEDS TO MAINTAIN SAFE BRAKING PRESSURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED MOMENTARILY AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

MY VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE POWERSTEERING RECALL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT LOSES ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY KEEPS HAPPENING AT RANDOM

VACUUM PUMP FAILURE. THE ISSUE IS PRESENTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED 3 OR 4 TIMES IN A SHORT PERIOD AFTER THAT PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STOP THE CAR IS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE. LOU BACHRODT CHEVROLET - COCONUT CREEK REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THAT'S THE WAY THIS KIND OF TRUCK WORK AND I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THAT TRUCK.

WATER LEAK INSIDE CABIN. WATER BUILD UP IN DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD, EITHER COMING FROM ON STAR/SHARK FIN ANTENNA, CAN TRACE WATER LEAK UP UNDER THE DASHBOARD TO WHERE ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRINGS ARE. LOST ON STAR AND GPS SERVICE DUE TO THIS. RANDOM DASH LIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHT FLICKERING. TWO INCIDENTS SO FAR WHERE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ONE ON NEARBY STREET AND OTHER ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. NO ELECTRICITY SO COULD NOT TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME.

AT TIMES, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE. IT REQUIRES AN INCREASED EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS SIMILAR TO AN INVESTIGATION THAT IS ON GOING REGARDING A FAILING VACUUM PUMP FOR GMM MODEL VEHICLES.

A KNOWEN ISSUE WITH THE SUBURBAN- DEAD LIFTERS, OFTEN THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T WANT TO REPAIR THE ENGINE, THEY TELL CUSTOMERS TO GET A NEW OR REBUILD ENGINE. THE ISSUE IS A HIDDEN SECRET WHICH I HOPE WITH THIS COMPLAINT GM WILL COME CLEAN AND RECALL MILLION OF CARS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEARS FAILED TO PROPERLY SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE WARRANTY WOULD APPLY TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. HERMAN JENKINS MOTORS INC (2030 W REELFOOT AVE, UNION CITY, TN 38261, (731) 885-2811) AND ROCK-ROYAL OAKS CHEVROLET CADILLAC (3417 PARK AVE, PADUCAH, KY 42001, (270) 908-4808) WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I EXPERIENCED BREAK FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS, MOST SIGNIFICANTLY AT LOW RPM. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL LOCKED AND I HEARD A GRINDING/CLICKING SOUND AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN. I EXPERIENCE THIS MOST WHEN ON A SURFACE WITH A DECLINE. ALSO WHEN I SWITCH THE CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD WHEN I TOOK THE PRESSURE OFF THE BREAK. THE FEELING WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU APPLY HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS AND YOU KIND OF FLY FORWARD. CHEVROLET CONFIRMED A LEAK IN THE VACUUM PUMP. THE VEHICLE HAS 53,000 MILES. IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS A VERY SCARY FEELING NOT TO HAVE BREAKS. I HOPE GENERAL MOTORS ISSUES A RECALL TO PROTECT CONSUMERS.
