1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

FUEL INJECTORS ARE DEFECTIVE, AND CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL AT RANDOM. THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX ONLY THING DEALER CAN DO IS CLEAN INJECTOR. VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE CAR JUST CLOG AND LOSE ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. PROBLEM IS NOT FIX AND CAR IS NOT SAFE. *AK

BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO BATTERY ACID LEAKING FROM BATTERY AND DRIPPING ON BRAKE LINE DIRECTLY BENEATH BATTERY, POOR DESIGN.

VEHICLE STARTED BEING SLUGGISH, CONSUMER OPENED HOOD AND NOTICED BATTERY ACID ALL AROUND BATTERY. ONE OF THE BATTERYS TERMINAL WAS COMING LOOSE, AND ACID WAS LEAKING. BATTERY WAS A A.C. DELCO. *AK *SLC

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT 20MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

TRUCK PULLS HARD TO LEFT WHEN BRAKING HAS HAD TSB 990524001A PERFORMED DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING I HAVE CONTACTED GM IN DETROIT AND RECEIVED NO HELP I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMON PROBLEM ON 3/4 TON SUBURBANS AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A MANUFACTURER HOLDS NO RESPONCEABILITY TO REPAIR SUCH A DANGEROUS DEFECT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED. NEWBORN WAS IN THIS LOCATION AND COULD HAVE BEEN EJECTED FROM VEHICLE. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AFTER THIS. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO UNJAM THE DOOR AND ENSURE THAT THE DOOR COULD BE CLOSED. WAS FORCED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR OPEN TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD. *AK

WHILE DRIVING BRAKE SHOES OVERHEATED AND BRAKE FLIUD BOILED. VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP UPON APPLYING BRAKES. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE STARTED UP INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CONSUMER PUT KEYS INSIDE OF IGNITION SWITCH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

FINALLY AT THE END OF THIS FORM I GET TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM. THE NHTSA, HOWEVER, HAS ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL OTHERCOMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER AND OPENED AN INVESTIGATION AND COMPLETED IT. I SIMPLY WANTED TO FIND OUT THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION THAT WAS CONDUCTED. THE PROBLEM CONCERNS THE SEVERE ERRATIC STEERING ON MY 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND I HOPE SOMETHING WAS DONE TO DRAW ATTENTION AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM.. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAD THAT COMPLAINED. HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM???NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2001. THE SEAT LATCH THAT SLIDES THE SEAT FORWARD BEGAN TO GIVE US PROBLEMS. WE TOOK THE CASING OFF OF THE BASE OF THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE RELEASE LEVER HAD BEEN WORN TO THE POINT THAT IT NO LONGER RELEASES THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD. IN THE EVENT OF A EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE REAR SEAT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. CAR EASILY.*AK
