JANUARY 2011: I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 SUBURBAN AS THE COMPLAINT FILED ON JUNE 13, 2010. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT I HAD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, AS WELL.

THE TRANSMISSION IS BUCKING OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND BEGINS TO GRIND SLOWLY FROM A STOP. I CONCUR THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED, AS IT POSES GREAT DANGER ON THE ROAD. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO AN ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO MY 17 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. IN ATTEMPTING TO STEADY HERSELF WHILE WALKING, SHE ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE TIRE ON MY DAUGHTER'S CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. HER SMALL HAND SLIPPED THROUGH THE HUB CAP SPACE AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOT BRAKE PAD, CAUSING HER TO SUFFER 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON THE PALM OF HER HAND. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED TO OTHER YOUNG CHILDREN. PARENTS WITH WHOM MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE SPOKEN HAD NO IDEA THAT BRAKE PADS WERE SO ACCESSIBLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF THIS DANGER AND SHOULD BECOME AWARE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
