SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE THE SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO BRAKES ON THE REAR WHEELS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE FLUID RESERVOIR, I FOUND IT TO BE EMPTY. AFTER CAREFULLY GETTING IT HOME I FOUND THE BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR BRAKES TO BE RUSTED THROUGH. ON FURTHER INSPECTION, ALL OF THE LINES UNDER THE TRUCK ARE VERY BADLY RUSTED. *TR

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
AFTER SHORT(90MILES)TRIP TO SEE FAMILY MEMBERS, I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH CONNECTING THE 'AIR BAG' PANEL. THIS RAISES GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS SHOULD THERE BE A MINOR COLLISION AND PIECES OF THE CRACKED DASH IMPALING SOMEONE. NOW THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS CRACKED AND THIS IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE THIS IS AT THE LEVEL OF THE DRIVERS FACE.. *TR

ENGINE
THE MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF INTO THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE. RESULTING IN FAILURE OF SEAL TO HEAD FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IN TURN, HAS CAUSED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FAIL AND NOW THE VEHICLE REQUIRES EXTENSIVE WORK TO PASS EMISSIONS TESTING IN CALIFORNIA. IT ONLY TAKES ONE BOLT TO BREAK ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THE BOLTS ARE OBVIOUSLY THE WEAK LINK. THE ENGINEERING DESIGN NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NOT LISTED AS A MAINTENANCE ITEM IN ANY GM OWNERS MANUAL. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ITEM THAT CAUSES CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE EMISSION SYSTEM, WHICH IS A MANDATED AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FEE'D ACCORDINGLY VIA STATE AND COUNTY GUIDELINES. *TR

AIR BAGS
OUR 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN WAS PARKED IN OUT DRIVE WAY, AFTER A SEVERE HAIL STORM IN KILLEEN, TX WE TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE HAIL DAMAGED REPAIRED, UPON COMPLETION OF THE REPAIRS THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SIMULTANEOUSLY, ON THE NEWS THERE WERE REPORTS OF AIR BAGS MALFUNCTIONING ON GM VEHICLES. WE ARE A FAMILY WITH TEENAGERS AND I AM AFRAID THIS AIR BAG IS A EXTREME CONCERN. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY COLLISIONS OR ACCIDENTS THAT REQUIRED ANY MAJOR MECHANICAL REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT FAIL. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THE AIR BAG ISSUE IS A MANUFACTURE MALFUNCTION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS NEVER TURNED OFF.. NOW WE CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH FUEL THE VEHICLE HAS, IT DOESNT SHOW KEEPS SAYING LOW FUEL EVEN WHEN ITS FULL. THE GAGE THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH FUEL IT HAS IS STUCK ON THE EMPTY SIDE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IT HAS. PLEASE CHECK ON OTHERS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THIS VEHICLE TYPES. *TR

SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO ROLL INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE ONLY WAY I STOPPED IT WAS SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. I NURSED THE TRUCK BACK HOME AND FOUND ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED WITH ONE BLOWN OUT. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS ALMOST EMPTY IN ONE CHAMBER. THE OTHER CHAMBER WAS TOTALLY EMPTY. TRUCK HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE
BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED HAD 54000 MILES ON IT. STILL HAD WARRANTY LEFT ON IT. AT 71000 MILES STARTED USING 1 TO 2 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL CHANGES ON THIS TRUCK EVERY 3000 TO 4000 MILES. ASKED THEM WHY IT STARTED USING OIL AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED AND COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT WAS USING OIL. HAVE HAD TO ADD 1 OR 2 QTS BETWEEN CHANGES EVERY SINCE THE TRUCK NOW HAS 107000 MILES ON IT. THEIR ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. NEED HELP IN GETTING THIS REPAIRED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BEGAN HEARING A GRINDING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. UPON REMOVING THE TIRES AND REAR BRAKE DRUMS I NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE SHOES SHOWED EXCESSIVE WEAR. I KNOW THAT COMBINATION DISK/DRUM BRAKES USE A PROPORTIONING VALVE TO ADJUST HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. I ALSO KNOW THAT NEWER SYSTEMS ARE DUAL CIRCUIT WITH ONE FRONT AND ONE REAR WHEEL ON EACH CIRCUIT. I FEEL MY PROPORTIONING VALVE IS EITHER MISADJUSTED OR MALFUNCTIONING APPLYING GREATER PRESSURE TO ONE CIRCUIT OVER THE OTHER. THIS COULD CAUSE SWERVING OR A SPIN OUT UNDER HEAVY BRAKING SITUATIONS. *TR
