1995 GMC SUBURBAN Complaints

FRONT ABS BRAKE ROTORS I WERE STARTING TO WARP. EVERY TIME BRAKES APPLIED, VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP RIGHT AWAY. TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER & WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC DEALERSHIP KNEW OF PROBLEM WITH ROTORS. MECHANIC REPLACED PADS, BUT NOT ROTORS. *AK

DOOR HINGES ON BOTH FRONT DOORS HAVE FAILED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOORS WITHOUT EXTREME EFFORT, TO THE POINT THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOORS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THE DOOR HINGES ARE NON-ADJUSTABLE, AND THERE IS NO OBVIOUS WAY TO RE-CENTER THE DOOR IN THE FRAME. LIKEWISE, THE REAR PANEL DOOR HINGES HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER, RESULTING IN THE DOORS ALLOWING AIR FLOW AND LIKEWISE CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABIN. AGAIN, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO WAY TO ADJUST THE HINGES. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEEN VERY LITTLE "ROUGH ROAD" USEAGE, SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT, AND THE HINGES WERE FINE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 66K MILES ON IT. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT EITHER THE HINGES ARE OF A BAD DESIGN, OR SOME BUSHINGS HAVE WORN OUT WHICH ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS THAT HAD MANY MORE MILES AND NEVER HAD ANY HINT OF DOOR PROBLEM. I CAN FORSEE THE TOP HINGE PINS ON BOTH FRONT DOORS EVENTUALLY FAILING, ALLOWING THE DOORS TO PARTIALLY POP OPEN FROM THE FRONT EDGE.

WHEN APPLYING THE ABS BRAKES IN REGULAR OR PANIC STOP VEHICLE SEVERELY PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WAS WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN VEHICLE WAS REARENDED BY A NISSAN. UPON IMPACT BY NISSAN, THE DRIVER'S SEATBACK COLLAPSED BACKWARDS. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE VISIBILITY. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL WENT FORWARD. HAD LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A WHILE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BECOME WARPED. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTS TO WOBBLE. IF THE ROTORS ARE TURNED AND NEW PAD INSTALLED THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF THOUSAND MILES THEN RETURNS.

WHEN APPLYING THE ABS BRAKES ON WET OR DRY PAVEMENT THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT ALL. VEHICLE DID NOT SLIDE, IT JUST KEPT ROLLING UNTIL IT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

BRAKES BEGIN TO GRIND WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYNG BRAKES .AS A RESULT OF THIS GRINDING, VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT SIDE.DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND FIXED THE BRAKES AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *AK

WAS GOING 60MPH AFTER LEAVING RAMP AND VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT. STARTED TO CORRECT. HAD NO STEERING CONTROL. HIT CONCRETE DIVIDER & VEHICLE ROLLED OVER. NO INJURIES. *AK

THE VEHICLE HAS A "HEAVY" PULL TO ONE SIDE, AND ONLY WHEN YOU "SLAM" ON THE BRAKES AND THE ABS KICKS-IN. AFTER BRINGING IN TO THE DEALER, I HAVE HAD THE FRONT BRAKE LINES REPLACED. AFTER ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THEY CHANGED THE CALIPERS, ROTORS AND BRAKE LINES. I STILL HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AND PROBLEM AFTER SPENDING CLOSE TO THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
