2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY SUBURBAN. THE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTING OFF AT ANY SPEED LEAVING ME WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER THE NEXT DAY BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THEN CAR STALLED ON HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. CAR STARTED ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER AND THEN CUT OUT A BLOCK DOWN THE ROAD. STARTED THE CAR ANOTHER 3 HOURS LATER AND CAR WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE 5 MILES HOME. FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED ABOUT 50K MILES AGO. STALL IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKING ISSUE. WITH ALL OF THE INTERNET FEEDBACK, AND THE 2000 AND 2001 FUEL ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL, CHEVY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

2002 CHEVY SUBURBAN. LOSS OF BRAKES IN VEHICLE. PEDAL COULD BE PRESSED TO FLOOR BOARD. DEALER CONFIRMED BRAKE LINE CORROSION, RUPTURE AND FAILURE. H&L CHEVY, DARIEN, CT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATE AT LESS THAN 10 MPH AND WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD VIBRATE ABNORMALLY WITH AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND TIME. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY 2002 SUBURBAN WITH A 5.3L FLEX FUEL EQUIPPED VEHICLE JUST WOULD STALL WITH OUT WARNING AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND OTHER ITEM RELATED TO THE ENGINE RUNNING. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART IT. NO CODE WOULD SHOW ON THE ON BOARD COMPUTER AND AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER RECALLS IT POINTED TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR GOING BAD. I AM GOING TO CHANGE IT OUT IN THE MORNING. I HAVE READ OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE IN THIS YEAR MODEL AND THINK CHEVY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING BRAKES WHERE APPLIED IN A NORMAL MANNER AND DRIVER FELT BRAKE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 3 TO 10 MPH, THE ABS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07E106000 (WHEELS: CAP/COVER/HUB). THE REMEDY STATED THE DEALER WAS TO PULL THE SPEED SENSOR, CLEAN THE RUST AND REINSTALL THE SPEED SENSOR. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER REPAIRS, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED BUT AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,200.

WHILE DRIVING SUBURBAN ON A LONG TRIP OVER 2 HOT DAYS, ENGINE QUIT WITHOUT WARNING ONCE EACH DAY AFTER MANY HOURS OF DRIVING (5 PEOPLE WITH LUGGAGE, NO TRAILER). FIRST DAY OCCURRENCE WAS AFTER DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC WITH MANY STOPLIGHTS BUT SPEED WAS ABOUT 60 MPH AT THE TIME AND QUICKLY LOST POWER AND DIED. SECOND DAY WAS AT SUSTAINED 70+MPH AND QUIT SUDDENLY. BOTH TIMES NEEDED TO PULL OVER AND TURNED OFF FOR A MINUTE AFTER FAILURES AND RESTARTED ON 2ND TRY AND CONTINUED ON FOR ANOTHER 20+ MILES BEFORE STOPPING FOR THE DAY (FIRST DAY) AND STOPPING FOR DINNER (2ND DAY). FUEL IN GAS TANK WAS HALF FULL ON FIRST DAY AND 3/4 ON SECOND DAY. THIS VEHICLE EXHIBITED SAME FAILURE NUMEROUS TIMES 2 YEARS PREVIOUSLY ON HOT DAY PULLING TRAILER. *TR

MY 2002 CHEVY SUBURBAN WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA ID 05V3379000 ON 11/24/06. THE PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP BETWEEN 5-10MPH DUE TO CORROSION NEAR ABS SENSOR - UNDER RECALL CLEAN AREA AND LUBE. SINCE THIS IS A CORROSION ISSUE IT WILL RECUR MANY TIME IN FUTURE. APPROX 4 YEARS AFTER RECALL SERVICE - I AM HAVING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN RECALL. I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD BE RECURRING SINCE CORROSION IS CONSTANTLY OCCURRING. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS (<30 MPH) ABS ACTIVATES WHICH IS LEADING TO AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. HAS POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS IN RESIDENTIAL AND CITY TRAFFIC. *TR

MY WIFE OWNS TWO GM SUBURBANS, 2002 AND 2004. BOTH EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO ROTTING BRAKE LINES WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. I HAVE PAID OVER $2,000.00 TO HAVE THEM BOTH REPAIRED. THE 2002 FAILURE SENT ME OUT INTO THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOME UNABLE TO STOP. THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE 2004 OCCURRED WHILE ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP WITH MOST OF MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE ONE THAT SPURS MY EFFORTS TO COMPLAIN. I COULD LOSE IT WHEN CONSIDERING WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY DUE TO THESE FAILURES ON TWO VERY EXPENSIVE CARS WHICH I WOULD NEVER HAVE EXPECTED TO FAIL LIKE THIS. I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH NOT TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE AND IF I CAN GET A REFUND FOR THE COSTLY REPAIR THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I HAVE PRESERVED THE ROTTED BRAKE LINES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *TR
