1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

EVERY 20,000 MILES WE HAVE TO PUT BRAKES ON FRONT. THE BRAKE PADS ARE TOTALLY GONE BY 20,000. WE ARE REPLACING WTIH THE BEST PADS AVAIABLE. THIS STILL DOES NOT HELP. WE HAVE REPLACE THE BRAKES AT 21,000MILES AND AT 40,000MILES. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS SYSTEM.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES FOR NORMAL STOPPING PROCEDURES VEHICLE WILL PULL EITHER TO LEFT OR RIGHT, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 6 TIMES, BUT CANNOT SOLVE THE DEFECT. *AK

WIND IS COMING THROUGH DRAIN HOLDS INTO THE INSIDE OF VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO VENT HOLES IN THE VEHICLE WHICH IS CAUSING EXHAUST TO GET INSIDE OF VEHICLE. DEALER CLAIMS IT'S A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF VEHICLE. *AK *ML

FUEL PUMP FAILURE; THREE FUEL PUMPS WERE REPLACED BY DEALER. REPAIRS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. *AK *ML

ENGINE DOES NOT RETURN TO IDLE WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK *ML

WHEN OPENING THE DOOR THE LATCH LOCKS SO THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE SHUT. OWNER HAS TO TAKE A SCREW DRIVER TO FLIP THE LATCH DOWN IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE DOOR. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE. *AK

THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, AND AFTER USING THE LIGHTER, POWER LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. REAR HATCH WOULD NOT OPEN NOR WOULD THE LIGHTER WORK. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY A SHORT IN THE WIRING. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER THE LIGHTER WAS USED, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *AK

ON THREE OCCASIONS, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. ON ONE OCCASION THEY FOUND A BRACKET THAT WAS BROKEN AND REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY THE DASHLIGHTS, DOMELIGHT, AND STEREO DISPLAY EXPERIENCE FAILURE WHICH MAY BE THE RESULT OF A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *YC
