2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND MY CAR MADE A CLICKING SOUND AND THEN BEGIN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT MADE A REALLY LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR FELL ONTO THE ROAD AND WAS BEING DRAGGED ALONG AND THE IT WOULD NOT GO ANYMORE. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD NOT STOP, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS UNTIL I PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND TURNED IT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE IN TWO. IT WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THEY WERE CRYING INCONSOLABLY AND SCARED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED AND IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THE 2005 CHEVY SUBURBAN THAT CAUSED THIS. *TR

THE CHEVY DEALERS ALSO SAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL BUT OUR CARS VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MEET THE RECALL. THEY AGREE CHEVY SHOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

MY 2005 SUBURBAN CHEV. HAS 46,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS FAIRLY NORMAL TO HAPPEN. IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $3000.00 TO $4000.00. THE CAR STARTED MAKING AN AWFUL NOISE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID TRANSMISSION HOT. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IT JUST MADE AN AWFUL NOISE. THANK GOD I WAS ON A ROAD I COULD PULL OVER ON. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO THE DEALER.I HAVE A $50,000 CAR THAT CAN'T BE DRIVEN. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM TO 2005 SUBURBAN? *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Z71 WITH 59,799 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER ON IT RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DAY THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY I WAS ON AN HOUR LONG TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY. DURING THE TRIP I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED I WAS GOING 95 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO INCREASE EVEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN, UNTIL IT PASSED 120 MPH WHERE IT WAS STUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT STARTED TO SLOWLY GO BACK DOWN. SINCE THAT DAY THEN THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO SHOW THE INCORRECT SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES READS AS HIGH AS 120 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING, AND AT OTHER TIMES DISPLAYS THE VEHICLE GOING 10 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING, AND OTHER TIMES SHOWS CORRECTLY AT 0 MPH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GET WORSE WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON LONGER TRIPS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB *TR
