2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

WIRE HARNESS UNDERNEATH VEHICLE RUBBING ON DRIVE SHAFT CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. BATTERY DRAIN, COMPRESSOR FOR AIR RIDE BURNING OUT, STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND VARIOUS OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

I BOUGHT THIS SUBURBAN USED IN 2010 WITH ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM THE 2ND OWNER. FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, IT HAS BURNED OIL. THE ADD OIL LIGHT COMES ON HALF WAY THROUGH A OIL CHANGE. IT'S MY 3RD SUBURBAN. NEITHER OF THOSE TWO HAD EVER BURNED OIL. IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, SO I TOOK IT TO COURTESY CHEVROLET IN PHOENIX. THEY PUT IT ON A OIL WATCH. I HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN EVERY THOUSAND MILES SO THEY COULD CHECK THE BURN RATE. THEY ALWAYS SAID IT WAS NORMAL PER CHEVY BURN RATES. REALLY? CHECK THE INTERNET FOR 2007 CHEVROLET ENGINE OIL, HIGH BURN RATES AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ENGINE THAT BURNS OIL. IT SOUNDS LIKE CHEVROLET KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH INTEGRITY, THEY CHANGED THEIR BURN RATES SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO. I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN CHEVROLET. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT.

I STARTED MY CAR AND THE BRAKES WERE GONE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP. I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN, THEN THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I WAITED A WHILE AND TRIED A THIRD TIME, IT MADE A POWER STEERING MACHINE NOISE AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE COULD NOT USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX IT. I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP, BECAUSE I WILL NOT DRIVE IT IF THERE IS EVEN A CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING AGAIN. IT'S TOO MUCH OF A LIABILITY.

MY TWO CHILDREN AND I WHERE COMING HOME FROM A WRESTLING TOURNAMENT TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65 MPH. THEY WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE ALL HAD SEAT BELTS ON. I HAD A EPILEPTIC SEIZURE AND THEY SAID MY FOOT HIT THE THROTTLE SO WE MIGHT HAVE BE GOING FASTER WHEN WE HIT. I LAST RECALL DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. I WENT TO THE LEFT AND MISSED A POWER POLE BUT HIT THE RAILROAD TRACKS(THESE TRACKS ARE BANKED UP ON DIRT AND ROCK). WHICH CAUSED THE SUBURBAN TO SOME HOW ROLL 4 TO 5 TIMES DOWN THE TRACKS.WE ENDED UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS ON OUR RIMS. EVERY TIRE WAS BLOWN. EVERY WINDOW WAS SHATTERED EXCEPT THE FRONT IT HAD A HOLE IN A CENTER OF IT WHICH A RAILROAD TIE CAME THRU. THERE ARE IMPRESSIONS OF THE RAILROAD ROAD TRACKS ON THE SUBURBAN . THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE SUBURBAN IS SMASH DOWN TO THE DRIVER HEAD REST . I ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN NECK. THANK GOODNESS MY KIDS SEATS WERE RECLINED IN THE BACK OR THEIR NECKS WOULD HAVE BROKE. NOT ONE PART OF THIS SUBURBAN IS NOT SMASHED. EVERYTHING FLEW OUT OF IT WHEN WE ROLLED. MY SON HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE WINDOW AND SEARCH ON THE GROUND TO FIND CELL PHONES THAT FLEW OUT OF THE SUBURBAN WHEN WE WRECKED TO CALL 911. THE SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED MY FAMILY. I ALWAYS FELT SAFE WITH THEM. BUT WE ROLLED AND THEY DID NOT WORK. EVEN THE FRONT AIRBAG DIDN'T GO OFF WHEN I FIRST HIT THE TRACKS. BESIDES MY BROKEN NECK IT ALL TURNED OUT GOOD. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY SAID OUR SUBURBAN IS TOTALED. ONLY THING WORTH ANYTHING IS MAYBE THE SEATS. EVERYTHING THING ELSE IS SCRAP METAL. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE PICTURES YOUR WELCOME TO CONTACT US. BUT PLEASE CHECK INTO THESE SUBURBANS. IF WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD SEATBELTS WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD. MY HUSBAND WENT AND BOUGHT A 2015 FORD . I WILL NEVER PUT MY TRUST IN A CHEVY AGAIN. OR AIRBAGS. I'M WONDERING IF THEY JUST PUT A AIRBAG STICKER IN THEM TO MAKE US FEEL SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

SAFE LITE AUTO GLASS PLACED POLYEURETHANE GLUE ON THE REAR WINDOW AUTO DEFROSTER METAL CONTACT TO THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CHEVY 2007 LT SUBURBAN. I HIT THE REMOTE STARTER AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO RUN FOR 9 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WILL AUTO SHUT OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES. MY DAUGHTER SMELLED SMOKE IN THE CAR SO I INSERTED MY IGNITION KEY AND I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS. I THEN BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND MY REAR WINDOW EXPLODED INTO PIECES OF GLASS EVERYWHERE. I CALLED THE POLICE, FILED A POLICE REPORT, FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICO, REF CLAIM # : 0501768800101053) WHERE THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER FOUND THAT THE METAL CONTACT DID CAUSE A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH THE POLYURETHANE GLUE AS THE CAUSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
