2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

I WAS PROCEEDING FROM AN INTERSECTION AND TURNING LEFT, I REACHED A SPEED OF 15-20 MPH AND THERE WAS A "BANG" AND A "CLUNK" AND THE POWER TO THE WHEELS WAS GONE, I COASTED TO THE ROADSIDE AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN "D" DRIVE OR "3" IT WAS AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME USING 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE FORWARD SPRAG COMPONENT. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR, INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS PEELED. MY SON LACERATED HIS FINGER ON THE PEELING CHROME PLATING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG GM OWNERS AND AN OBVIOUS POOR MANUFACTURE IN SEVERAL MODELS WITH A DEFINITE NEED TO REPLACE ALL THE INTERIOR HANDLES. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION ON OTHER MODELS AND I AM UNABLE TO SEE A RESOLUTION. IT APPEARS ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CLOSED. *TR

SINCE 2008 OUR SUBURBAN HAS REQUIRED OIL SERVICING ON AVERAGE EVERY 2 MONTHS. WE TOOK IT TO MANY DEALERS AND WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THE CONSUMPTION SOMEHOW. I STATED, CAN'T YOU CHECK WHEN THE OIL SERVICING LIGHT COMES ON AND WAS TOLD NO. DON'T KNOW WHY IT CONSUMES SO MUCH OIL AND IT'S NOT LEAKING. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - AT LEAST 1QT PER 1K MILES SOMETIMES MORE. CHEVY EVENTUALLY FIXED THIS UNDER WARRANTY AFTER PROVING OUT THE CONSUMPTION. CHEVY CORPORATE IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THESE TRUCKS AND HAS NOT ONLY WRITTEN IT UP, BUT HAS DESIGNED A FIX FOR IT, DEALER STATES CHEVY CORP DECLINED TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S A $1600 REPAIR. THE ISSUE IS TWO-FOLD. SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VALVES NOT SEALING CORRECTLY AND OIL IN THE OIL PLAN SPLASHING UP ONTO THE CYLINDER WALLS FASTER THAN THE RINGS CAN REMOVE IT. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THEY DID SOME WORK TO THE VALVE TRAIN, REPLACED FOULED SPARK PLUGS AND ADDED SOME TYPE OF BAFFLE TO THE OIL PAN. FIX IMPROVED POWER, FUEL CONSUMPTION AND REDUCED OIL CONSUMPTIONS TO NORMAL LEVELS. TRUCK NOW RUNS LIKE NEW. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS GO TO CHEVY AND DEMAND THE FIX. YOU'LL NEED TO PROVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION EITHER THROUGH OIL CHANGE LOGS, OR AS I DID - WHICH WAS TO DO AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER, HAVE THE OIL PLUGS SEALED BY THE DEALER, THEN DRIVE IT 6,000 MILES - HAVING THE DEALER REFILL THE OIL WHEN LOW TO TRACK CONSUMPTION. THEY WON'T WANT TO FIX THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO EXPENSIVE BUT DEMAND THE REPAIR UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WAS PROBLEMATIC FOR YEARS. THE DISPLAY WOULD LIGHT AND MESSAGE CENTER WOULD INDICATE ALL TIRES WERE LOW WHEN NONE WERE BY CHECK OF ACCURATE GAUGE. THIS PROBLEM HAS FINALLY BEEN ADDRESSED AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STAY ON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO SHOP AND DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. TESTS HAVE BEEN RUN AND THE CODES RESET, TO NO AVAIL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND VEHICLE PERFORMANCE SEEMS NORMAL, HOWEVER, THE WARNING LIGHT REMAINS USELESS FOR ANY "REAL" PROBLEM. PLEASE CONSIDER THE LOW MILEAGE (CURRENTLY 18,224) WHEN CONSIDERING PROBLEMS. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN THAT HAS HAD 2 FUEL LEVEL SENSORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WE ARE NOW OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE FUEL GAUGE IS AGAIN DISPLAYING INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WE HAVE TWICE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWED A QUARTER TANK. *TR

DOME LIGHT DON'T WORK VERY UNSAFE FOR MY KIDS TO GET IN OR OUT OF THE CAR! VERY UNSAFE! DEALER WANTS $475+ TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM THEY THINK" ITS SHORT SOME WHERE "THEY TOLD ME, MAKES ME EVEN MORE NERVOUS. NEED HELP! *LN

VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, USING MORE THAN 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2K MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT A GM DEALERSHIP WITH 67K MILES ON IT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST SERVICED, AND THE DIPSTICK SHOWED TO BE AT THE FULL LINE WITH CLEAN OIL. ABOUT 4K MILES LATER THE LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE OIL LIFE INDICATOR SAID IT HAD 49% LIFE LEFT. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND IT WAS MORE THAN 2 QUARTS LOW. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THAT GM IS EITHER UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO REPAIR. I WILL CONTACT THE SELLING DEALER FOR THE RECORD. *LN

2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN! THE CHROME HANDLES ARE COMING APART AND SLICE MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS HAND. *LN

THE CHROME ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES IS PEELING OFF AND CUTS YOUR FINGERS EVERYTIME YOU TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR. *TR
