2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SHIFT INDICATOR REACHED TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES AND COULD CAUSE A BURN TO THE TOUCH. THE MANUFACTURER AND A CHEVROLET DEALER WERE AWARE, AND STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO REPAIR. THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR WAS ALWAYS HEATED, AND THE CAR HAD A BURNING SMELL BECAUSE OF IT AND GOT WORSE WHILE DRIVING. *AK

IN AUGUST LAST YEAR I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. AT 2000 MILES THE CAR IS 1ST TOTALLY DRAINING THE BATTERY ( I WAS IN CAMPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST- THEY FOUND ME AFTER 3 HRS- SHERIFF DEPT). SINCE THEN EVERY MONTH SAME AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED 3 BATTERIES. TODAY 2/21/2007 IS THE 7TH TIME. I PAY $825/MTH + RENT A CAR EVERY MONTH -- THEY DO NOT PAY FOR RENT A CAR BECAUSE THEY START BLAME EACH OTHER. GMC IS BLAMING THE DEALER AND THE DEALER GMC. I'M IN THE MIDDLE AND I DON'T HAVE A CAR. I NEED YOUR HELP THANK YOU. *NM

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SUBURBAN HOME WITH MY FAMILY. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED I WAS DRIVING AT 90 MILES AN HOUR. WHAT A SURPRISE. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING WRONG. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME I WAS GOING 120 MILES AN HOUR PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THIS JUST HAPPENED AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT FIXED. I READ MANY BLOGS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL. I WORK FOR GM AND I AM VERY EMBARRASSED BY THIS QUALITY ISSUE. SO MUCH FOR THE QUALITY OF GM VEHICLES WHEN I SEE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN ORDER TO VIEW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DURING THE DAY THE LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE FEATURES ON DASHBOARD. UPDATED 01/10/07. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. THE ENGINE THEN LOST THE MAJORITY OF POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WAS SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER 10 MINUTES AND DRIVEN TO A RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED.

CAR IS 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN - 2 MONTHS OLD. CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK AIR BAG LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN, NEXT DAY CAR WOULD NOT START AND WAS JUMPED EASILY. AFTER 2 DAYS AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT., DECIDED IT WAS THE CDM. 15 DAYS LATER CDM CAME IN BUT, SERVICE TECHS FOUND 4-5 WIRES "BURNT UP". WIRING HARNESS IS BROKEN. AFTER 6 DAYS WIRING HARNESS IS IN AND BEING REPLACED CURRENTLY. DEALERSHIP IS NOT SURE THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *NM
