FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
ON MARCH 30 MY 2001 SURBURBAN QUITE RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A 6 LANE HIGHWAY IN HATTIESBURG, MS. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN AND EVEN THOUGH I KNEW I HAD PLENTY OF FUEL THE GUAGE WAS SHOWING EMPTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUSE CONTROLLING THE ENTIRE FUEL OPERATION HAD BLOWN AND AFTER REPLACING IT THE DEALERSHIP IN HATTIESBURG SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, APRIL 11, I WAS ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY STOPPED FOR CONSTRUCTION WHEN IT SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING AGAIN. I HAD AN EXTRA FUSE THIS TIME BUT I HAD TO GET OUT IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO OPEN THE HOOD AND REPLACE THE FUSE. WHEN I TRIED TO CRANK IT AGAIN THE FUSE IMMEDIATELY BLEW. THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT A WIRE WAS BURNT AND IT CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO SHORT AND BLEW THE FUSE. I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHY THE WIRE BURNT AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPORTED WITH OTHER SURBURBANS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
THE PLANETARY GEARS FAILED IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS WITH NO LOAD. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURES DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AS HAVING A VIOLENT HARD SHIFT AFTER KICKDOWN TO PASS ANOTHER VEHCILE. THE SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE DEALER WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS REMOVED THE INITIAL PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND THEN THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM 1ST TO 2ND WAS VERY HARD AND JERKY. THE DEALER WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT . TRICOUNTY TRANSMISSION SHOWED ME NUMEROUS PARTS FROM OTHER SUBURBANS AND TAHOES WHICH HAVE THE SAME ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER FAILURE. GM WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS AS THEY NEVER DO. THEY HAVE A LATENT DEFECT IN THE HARDINESS OF THE GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES TEETH FAILURE OF THE PLANETARY GEARS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN ATLANTA I-285 AND THE GEARS HAD FAILED IN TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THIS SAME PROBLEMS APPLIES TO ALL 1998 THRU 2002 TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE CHEVY SUBURBANS AND TAHOES. CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER. THANKS.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS/MISFIRES ON ACCELERATION, AND LONGER TIME TO CRANK HOT OR COLD. AT TIMES SLIGHT TOUCH OF ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD.*AK THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED, LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AS PER RECALL 95I005, WHEN VEHICLE WAS RETURNED IT WAS WORSE. CONSUMER INSTALLED A VACUUM PUMP WHICH WAS NEEDED BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD A LIFT PUMP WAS NEEDED AND THEY GUARANTEED THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. IT WASN'T. NOW THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JG
