ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS (65 MPH), THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. LOST OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES,ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 6 MONTHS. THE PROBLEM IS THE ECM-B FUSE BLOWING. THE DEALER SAYS THAT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT AND THAT IT IS A RANDOM PROBLEM.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, CHILD SEAT:LATCH CONNECTOR/CLIP
THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE 2002 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS MANUFACTURED. WORK WITH ME....IF YOU HAVE A CAR SEAT, WHICH MOST EVERYONE DOES IF THEY OWN A SUBURBAN, AND IT IS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT...YOU CAN'T GET TO THE THIRD REAR SEAT, BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO MOVE THE CAR SEAT EVERY TIME YOU WANTED TO ACCESS THE THIRD SEAT. SO WE THOUGHT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE REAR THIRD SEAT WE WOULD JUST MOVE THE CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT, HOWEVER THERE IS NO LATCH MECHANISM LOCATED THERE. *JB APPARENTLY WE ONLY HAVE LATCH IN THE SECOND SEAT IN THE MIDDLE AND BEHIND. *JB THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE OWNED THREE SUBURBANS AND PURCHASED OUR NEW ONE IN 2003 SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LATCH UPGRADE.
