2022 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that on several occasions while checking the oil level, there was no oil on the "dip stick". The contact stated that the engine consumed 2-3 quarts of oil approximately 4,000 miles. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the low oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the piston and piston ring were damaged due to excessive wear and sticking. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer where it diagnosed that the cylinder head had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where the failure was not replicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

When attempting to drive from a stop light or stop sign, after taking your foot of the brake, the vehicle intermittently completely turns off. It will not immediately restart and you find yourself stuck in the middle of an intersection creating a safety issue. The vehicle has been in to Chevrolet to have this issue fixed once already and it continues to repeat. I doubt the dealer has been able to replicate the issue as they haven't gotten the vehicle back into the shop after it's been sitting there for a week. There were no warning lights, messages, or other symptoms. It has happened to both myself and my wife, most recently on or about 7/1/25 where it happened to my wife multiple times causing us to leave the vehicle at the dealership for service. Just to be clear, the issue with the vehicle turning off is different from the standard auto stop/start feature.

Valve Body issues under powertrain factory warranty. Recall needed due to unreasonable national parts delay.

While driving on vacation our car just slowed down gave the message, “reduced acceleration, drive with care” and then shut off while on the high way. We were able to start it again but after that haven’t had that message but have had the message to service safety restraint system multiple times. I have taken my SUV to the dealership multiple times for both issues and they have said multiple codes generate but they can’t find anything to fix.

A. The Emergency Brake system, The Anti-Collision Sensor, The vibrating Driver's seat Alert, The dashboard Collision Alert lightening......All of these gave no alert prior to the collision. B.The failure of the safety devices prevented from me from avoiding a collision that was cause by the other driver (Police report available for your peruse) C. They inspected and denied any liability for any failure of their safety devices (And my question to them is if any these are functioning properly as said, then there wouldn't be any collision ) D. Yes, inspected E. There were no waring lamps, no seat vibration, the emergency brake never ceased the car from colliding.

Engine lost power and stalled without warning while driving down the highway. Coasted to side of road and was unable to restart engine. After engine stopped, dash indicated low fuel, although tank was 3/4 full. After coming to a stop, was unable to shift out of Park (which could have been a major issue if I had not been able to clear the highway before coming to a stop). Towed vehicle to closest Chevrolet dealer, who replaced the fuel pump control module. Dealer indicated that this is a common failure item to the point that they stock the part and suspected what the failure was based on my description. When pressed, the dealer representative also noted that GM has not updated or redesigned the factory installed fuel pump control module ("the new module installed is exactly the same as the one that failed"). Fortunately, traffic was light and I was able to pull to the side of road. This would be extremely dangerous if it happened while driving on a multi-lane expressway and we were trapped at a stop in heavy, fast moving traffic.

The rear seatbelt in my 2022 Chevrolet Suburban RST became dangerously tight around my daughter's waist while she was lying down in the seat. The belt would not release despite multiple attempts. She was hanging off the seat and in distress, and I was forced to cut the belt to prevent injury. This raises serious concerns about the seatbelt retraction mechanism. I request a formal investigation.

While driving on the highway at 55 mph during a long-distance trip, the engine of my 2022 Chevrolet Suburban (6.2L V8) failed suddenly without any warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms. The vehicle lost power unexpectedly, creating an extremely dangerous situation. I was traveling to a national wheelchair basketball tournament and had a passenger in the vehicle at the time. Our safety was immediately at risk due to the abrupt loss of power in a high-speed traffic environment. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, where the issue was confirmed as a complete engine failure. The dealership later replaced the engine under warranty. I was informed that the engine installed was the same model currently under active recall (N252494001), which affects the 6.2L V8 engine in this vehicle type due to defective crankshaft or connecting rod components. The failed engine is no longer available for inspection, but the dealership should have records of the inspection and replacement. There were no warning lamps, error codes, or drivability issues prior to the failure. The malfunction was immediate and severe.

3rd row seat headrest will not stay up. This is a problem with 2021 and some 2022 suburbans Dealer is charging me to replace it. This is a safety issue that should be apart of the original recall # N2022316750
