2001 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED, DEALER ONLY "RECONDITIONED" THE TRANSMISSION, I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS;RUBBING , BUMPING NOISES FROM TRANSMISSION, I HAVA NOT TRUST IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE LONG HISTORY OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND DEFECTS, I WANT THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE AND NOT WAIT UNTIL A MECHANICAL FAILURE HURT ME OR MY FAMILY OR INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP ME . NLM

WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE TAILGATE ASSEMBLY FELL COMPLETELY OFF CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*JB

AT 45MPH VEHICLE CRASHED. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT ROLLED ABOUT A 100 YARDS, HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. *AK *SCC

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR SEEMED TO BE MALFUNCTIONING, AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, A PASSENGER DOOR WAS DISCOVERED AJAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATOR IN THE DASH TO ALERT THIS TO THE DRIVER. THE COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEM IN THE DASH WILL INDICATE IF THE REAR CARGO DOOR IS AJAR, BUT NOT ANY OF THE PASSENGER DOORS, FRONT, REAR OR DRIVER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME TODAY THAT THERE IS NO SUCH INDICATOR DESIGNED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND WAS INFORMED THAT I "SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THIS 'OPTION' BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE." THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THERE IS NO "OPTION" FOR A DOOR AJAR INDICATOR; IN FACT, IT ISN'T EVEN AVAILABLE ON THIS YEAR'S 2002 MODEL, EITHER. I HONESTLY FEAR FOR THE LIVES OF MY 4 CHILDREN, WHO RIDE IN THE BACK SEATS OF THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER MARKET THIS VEHICLE TO "MEET THE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN FAMILY" WHEN BASIC, STANDARD SAFETY INDICATORS WEREN'T EVEN INCLUDED ON THIS "TOP OF THE LINE" VEHICLE? THEY ARE LEAVING THEMSELVES OPEN FOR A HUGE LAWSUIT WHEN SOMEONE'S CHILD FINALLY DOES FALL OUT OF THE SUBURBAN, "LIKE A ROCK."*AK

CONSUMER PURCHASED VEHICLE ADVISING DEALER HE DID NOT WANT FIRESTONE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE TIRES WERE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WANDERS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THERE IS HYDROPLANNING ON WET SURFACES AND IT HANDLES POORLY, THE DEALER RELEASED SOME OF THE AIR OUT OF THE TIRES, CONSUMER IS HAVING TROUBLE IN DETERMINING WHAT PRESSURE TIRES SHOULD BE INFLATED TO. *JG (FIRESTONE STEELTEX R45 LT245/75R 16E)

WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE ABS BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING RESULTING IN TOTAL BRAKE LOSS. *YH
