2014 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

THIS CAR'S FUEL EFFICIENCY IS ATROCIOUS. IT WAS ADVERTISED AS 16-22 MPG BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 11 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY, IT'S LOWER AROUND TOWN. 12 MPG AROUND TOWN. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND MAINTENANCE SHOPS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I'VE OWNED PREVIOUS SUBURBANS WITH 30 GALLON GAS TANKS AND CAN GO 600 MIKES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. HOWEVER, I HAVE TO STOP FOR GAS WITH THIS CAR AFTER 325-350 MILES. IT'S TERRIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN LONG TRIPS. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL USAGE BY THIS CAR CAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TURN TO FOR CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T CONSIDER THIS A VALID COMPLAINT, CAN YOU REFER ME TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION? I'VE TRIED TO GET AHOLD OF A NATIONAL CHEVROLET REPRESENTATIVE BUT I AM ALWAYS REFERRED BACK TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP. I HOPE ( AND PRAY) THAT YOUR ABLE TO HELP BECAUSE THE CAR IS USING TWICE AS MUCH GAS AS I AM USED TO WITH THIS MODEL, HAVING HAD 20+ MPG WITH THE SUBURBAN I OWNED IN 2000. THANK YOU.

WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS WILL POWER SURGE. ONE DAY THE VEHICLE JUST DIDN'T START. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I LOST THERMOSTAT CONTROL, THE POWER LOCKS WERE INVOLUNTARILY GOING UP AND DOWN, THE RADIO SHUT OFF, AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES ALL WENT TO THE LEFT AND WERE NOT WORKING. WHEN I FINALLY PARKED THE VEHICLE I COULD SMELL AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION FOR ALL OF THIS ON A 2 LANE ROAD.

AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE OVER 5 YEARS, THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK. AFTER RESEARCHING A FIX, I DISCOVERED A LOT OF OWNERS OF MY TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME LOCATIONS.

I HAVE HAD MY CALIPER BOLT COME LOOSE AND WAS COMPLETELY MISSING TWO TIMES, ON TWO DIFFERENT WHEELS, AND DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME, IT CAUSE THE CALIPER TO PARTIALLY DISENGAGE AND WEDGE INTO THE RIM, CRACKING IT. THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS DETECTED BY THE HORRENDOUS NOISE AND CLACKING MADE BY THE LOOSE CALIPER WHILE DRIVING.

LOSS OF PEDAL POWER WHEN BRAKING. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPED. ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. ISSUE IS ONGOING HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TWO YEARS. HAVE FIXED MULTIPLE ITEMS ON BRAKE SYSTEMS AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

WIPERS NO LONGER WORK. THEY DO NOT TURN ON DUE TO FAULTY MOTOR AND OR LINKAGE. COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES

AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE KEY IS PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION THE POWER DOORS WONT RELEASE AND POWER WINDOWS WONT WORK. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING BACK OFF THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS ANYWHERE AND SPECIFIC TO PARKING THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE START WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK AND KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND OTHER TIMES IT WONT WORK AT ALL. THIS OCCURS ANYWHERE AND SPECIFIC TO THE VEHICLE PARKED. FOR NO REASON, THE CLOCK WILL RESET THE TIME AND DATE SO IT SHOWS 12:00 FOR THE TIME AND 01 01 2005 FOR THE DATE. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING THEN SHUT OFF AND THEN DRIVEN AGAIN OR IF THE CAR HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE ALL OCCURRED ON DIFFERENT DAYS BUT HAVE BEEN SPORADIC AND NOT OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME. ALL THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APRIL OF 2019.

THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING OUT OF REVERSE WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MAUS CHEVROLET (TAMPA, FL) SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEING FIXED. NO REASON FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AT 80,000 MILES BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

CRACKED DASHBOARD AT INFORMATION CLUSTER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. DASHBOARD CRACK IS BAD ENOUGH THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO ENGAGE SHARDS WOULD BE LAUNCHED INTO CABIN THUS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE CONDITION EXISTS WHETHER MOVING OR STATIONARY.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED, STARTING TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD AND TRAVELLING TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, IT HAS CRACKED ON IT'S OWN OVER TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY.
