STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN VARIOUS AREAS. SPECIFIC AREA IS THE CRACKING NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN AND THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BE SENT FLYING THRU THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE

ENGINE
2008 SUBURBAN 135K. VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING WELL, ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VEHICLE WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. DEALER CHECKED ENGINE TOLD NEW ENGINE NEEDED. I WAS TOLD A COMMON PROBLEM FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTED FAR TO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN ENGINE DESIGN. IT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE DEATHS BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS REPAIR COST IS AN UNEXPECTED BURDEN. GM RESPONSE THE VEHICLE HIGH MILEAGE AND AGE ARE A FACTOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH A RANG OF MILES. GM SHOULD RECALL THE 5.3L ENGINE AND REPAIR THE DEFECT. THE FIRST ISSUE WITH VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. GM HAS INDICATED 2 QUARTS OF OIL BEING BURNED IN 3000 MILES IS NORMAL. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER. GM SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY BAIL OUT. NO PRIOR WARNING WAS GIVEN, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR LOW OIL INDICATION , NO LEAKS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINES FAILED TWICE DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION BECAUSE CHEVY USED A INFERIOR STEEL PRODUCT ON ALL TRUCKS FROM 1998 TO 2005. THE DEALER REPAIRED MY 2002 AVALANCHE FOR $600.00 TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE LINES. HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT REPAIR MY 2001 SUBURBAN WHICH HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. GM NEEDS TO RE-CALL ANY VEHICLE OR AT LEAST MAKE A REPAIR KIT AND INSTALLATION AT A REDUCED RATE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS NOT DUE TO OWNER ERROR OF WASHING THE FRAME DURING WINTER OR WINTER MAINTENANCE. THERE IS NEW LINES THAT ARE COATED TO RESIST COROSION AND WERE USED TO REPAIR MY AVALANCHE. MY 2001 SUBURBAN BRAKE LINES FAILED IN MOTION WHILE IN TRAFFIC APPLYING THE BRAKE PETAL TO STOP.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BOTH HWY AND CITY. THE SUBURBAN WILL GO INTO REDUCED ENGIN AND LOSE ALL ITS POWER AND SPEED. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT'S FINE TO GO FOR MAYBE A MILE AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. THEY CAN NOT PIN POINT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS . IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINKED OFF AND ON AND THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS STALLING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE REVVED HIGHLY AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. UPON TAKING OFF, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AS IF IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY NEW 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, I AM EXPERIENCING A BOOMING/ TUNNELING NOISE BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 45 MPH AND 60 MPH AND EXPERIENCING PRESSURE IN MY EARS FROM SOME SORT OF PRESSURE CREATED IN THE VEHICLES CABIN. THE PRESSURE IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. DEALER DOES CAN NOT GET DIRECTION FROM GM ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

REAR LIFT GATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RAISE WILL RISE 1/2 WAY THEN COME BACK DOWN, THEN BACK UP, THEN BACK DOWN. SOMETIMES WILL GO ALL THE WAY UP AND WHEN I GO UNDER IT IT THE LIFT GATE WILL COME DOWN WITH FORCE HITTING ME ON MY HEAD. CONSTANT TROUBLE WITH THIS ISSUE.

3 DOOR LATCHES HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO STAY SHUT. THIS CAN OBVIOUSLY BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THEY WERE TO GIVE OUT WHEN DRIVING AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS STARTED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. SUDDENLY MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON ALONG WITH BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO READ STABILITRAK OFF AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL IN READOUT BELOW. IMMEDIATELY MY TRUCK LOST POWER AND DECELERATED SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF ROAD AS TO NOT GET RAN OVER BY TRAFFIC. READ MANUAL SAID TO TURN OFF AND RESTART. DID THIS AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER MILE THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ON AND OFF FOR LAST 12 MILES BEFORE I COULD GET HOME. UPON TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP TODAY THEY CAME BACK SAYING NOTHING ABOUT THESE CODES BUT THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE CODE AND OIL LOW?? SO NOW I HAVE GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING. UPON ASKING ABOUT THE INITIAL PROBLEM I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH APPARENTLY THE WHOLE TRUCK PLATFORM AT GM. THIS PROBLEM IS POSTED ALL OVER INTERNET WITH CARS EVEN SHUTTING OFF AND BRAKES LOCKING UP AND THE BIG PROBLEM IS NO DEALERSHIP KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. CHARGE PEOPLE A BUNCH OF MONEY TO FIX NUMEROUS THINGS THEY KNOW WILL NOT FIX ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL ON 2007- AT LEAST 2010 FROM WHAT I CAN SEE FROM DATA THAT IS OUT THERE. I WILL BE SELLING MY TRUCK AFTER THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY KIDS IN IT. I'M DIE HARD CHEVY GUY WHO HAS A 2003 SUBURBAN WITH 400000+ MILES ON IT WITH VERY LITTLE ISSUES IN ALL THESE YEARS. PLEASE MAKE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM.
