ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WOULDN'T WORK, NOW ALL DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH REMOTE OR SWITCH. ALSO WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN PUT INTO GEAR OR BACK INTO PART. LOCKS MOVE SLIGHTLY WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON BUT WILL NOT FULLY ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE WHEN MANUALLY PUSHED. NO RECALL DATA AVAILABLE BUT I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
A WAS EXITING RT 50 ONTO ROUTE 8, WEST BOUND RAMP...IN QUEENANNES COUNTY MARYLAND, THE LIGHT CHANGED SUDDENLY FROM GREEN TO YELLOW AND I REALIZED I COULD NOT MAKE THE LIGHT. I HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND VEHICLE STARTED TO STOP, AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST LET GO AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. FOUND I HAD NO POWER BRAKES, JUST THE MECHANICAL PORTION. I HAD PARKS TIRE AND AUTO, IN GRANSONVILLE CHECK IT OUT TODAY, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013 THE MECHANIC MATT HRISKO SAID THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALL CORRODED AND THE RIGHT FRONT LINE SPRUNG A LEAK DUE THE CORROSION. MOREOVER, HE SAID ALL THE LINES WERE CORRODED AND IN DANGER OF SPRINGING HOLES TOO. HE ALSO FOUND A COUPLE OF THE BLEEDER VALVES WERE CORRODED AND/OR LEAKING TOO. THE ASE MECHANICS THERE, EDDIE AND MATT, SAID THEY HAVE BEEN DOING SO MANY OF THESE REPLACEMENTS THAT THEY WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THEIR OWN FLARING KITS...IT IS A BIG JOB...THE FENDERS HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND ALL, ABOUT 7 TO 8 HOURS LABOR. JUST THE LINE REPLACEMENTS WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $800.00. THE CALIPERS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED THEN TOO, AS THE FITTINGS TO ADJUST/BLEED THE BRAKES ARE CORRODED, SOME ARE FROZEN SHUT AND OTHERS LEAKING. THAT WOULD ADD UPWARDS OF ANOTHER $1200 TO $1500. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR ## VIN PASSED ##

SEAT BELTS
OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, THE COVER ON ALL THREE SEAT BELT LATCHES IN THE SECOND ROW OF OUR SUBURBAN HAVE FAILED. THEY ARE MADE OF 2 PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT CLIP TOGETHER TO COVER THE MECHANISM AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR THE SEAT BELT TAB TO BE INSERTED INTO THE LATCH. NOT HAVING THE LATCH COVERED MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE ANY SEAT BELT FOR PASSENGERS IN THE SECOND ROW. IT IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO RELEASE THE SEAT BELT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE THE SEAT BELTS EVEN FOR AN ADULT. NONE OF OUR CHILDREN CAN SECURE THEIR SEAT BELT WHEN RIDING IN THIS CAR. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE EACH TIME WE GET IN THE CAR TO ASSIST THEM. IN ADDITION, IT IS EASY TO SCRAPE AGAINST THE EXPOSED METAL OF THE LATCH MECHANISM WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY RECALLS OR OTHER INQUIRIES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE MAKING A SUDDEN STOP, A HYDRAULIC LINE SERVING THE FRONT BRAKES RUPTURED CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKES. THIS IS THE THIRD HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TWO LINES TO FAIL WERE ON THE REAR AXLE. ALL OF THE REMAINING HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES ARE HEAVILY RUSTED AND PITTED, THEY ALL ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE AT ANY TIME. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE. IT POSES A SERIOUS RISK TO THE DRIVERS AND TO THE PERSONS AND PROPERTY OF OTHERS. EVERY ONE OF THE OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES. WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IT SHALL BE IS UP TO NHTSA, BUT THE NEED FOR INFORMATION IS GREAT. THIS IS A HEAVY WEIGHT VEHICLE FOR ORDINARY CONSUMER USE. MOST SUCH USERS ARE UNPREPARED FOR A BRAKE FAILURE OF THIS KIND. INTERESTINGLY, GM DOES NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT PARTS. PRECISION FORMED LINES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE AFTERMARKET. THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER USES NON-CORRODING COPPER-NICKEL REPLACEMENT LINE, AND FABRICATES THE LINES LOCALLY. THE SAME BRAKE LINE METALLURGY WAS USED IN HIGH END EUROPEAN CARS (VOLVO AND PORSCHE) BEGINNING IN THE 1980S. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY SON WAS DRIVING IN BAKERSFIELD CA, HE WAS ON BUENA VISTA, WHEN HE CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT MING AVE. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKES THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE FRONT BRAKES FAILED TO WORK AND HE SKIDDED THRU THE INTERSECTION, THRU THE RED LIGHT. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 MPH ON THAT ROAD, THE TIME WAS 11AM. NO OTHER CAR WAS HIT. HE HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A AAA SHOP, THEY SAID THE FRONT BRAKE TUBING OFF THE ABS BOXED TO THE FRONT CALIPER FAILED FROM RUSTING OUT (WITH NO WARNING). THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AT THAT SHOP AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO 3 WAY CHEV. I CALLED THE CHEVY FACTORY LINE AND SPOKE TO A REP. SHE SAID THEY MIGHT WARRANTY SOME OF THE REPAIR BUT THEIR DEALER SHIP HAD TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM. I INFORMED HER OF THE MILEAGE AND GAVE HER THE VIN# I TOLD HER I ALSO BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HERITAGE CHEVY IN MD. I CALLED THEM AND GOT A PRICE TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE TUBING FOR $1600.00 AND IF IT NEEDED A ABS BOX IT WOULD BE TOTAL OF $3400.00 FOR EVERYTHING.3WAY CHEVY IN BAKERSFIELD SAID IT WOULD COST $7597.07 FOR EVERYTHING BUT IT MAY BE MORE BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE CAB FROM THE FRAME. THEY ALSO SAID THE TRUCK SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW BECAUSE OF THE SALT THAT IS USED ON THE ROADS. THIS IS A 4X4 AND I LIVE IN NORTHERN MD AND I BOUGHT FOR THE SNOW AND I TOW A 24 FOOT BOAT THAT WEIGHS 6300 LBS. THE FACTORY REP SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY BECAUSE OF THE AGE AND MILEAGE, WHICH I ORIGINALLY TOLD THEM ABOUT. THE FACTORY REPS KEEP ON TRANSFERRING ME TO OTHER REPS TILL I GAVE UP. I WAS ASE TECH( EVERYTHING EXCEPT TRANSMISSIONS ) , MD STATE INSPECTOR AND MD CERTIFIED EMISSIONS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THIS BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THE GM TRUCKS WILL EVENTUALLY GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED. I SOLD THE TRUCK FOR $ 1500.00 WITH NO BRAKES AS IS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE AUTO TRANSMISSION 3 AND 4TH GEAR CLUTCH FAILED IN THIS UNIT WHICH RESEARCH SHOWS IS A COMMON FAILURE. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS OPENED FOR THE REPAIR THERE WERE TWO PARTS THAT SHOWED A LOT OF RUST WHICH INDICATED AN EXPOSURE TO WATER. I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS IF THE TRANSMISSION SHOP HAD NOT SHOWN ME A CHEVY AVALANCHE TRANSMISSION THEY HAD JUST CAME IN WITH THE SAME PARTS SHOWING THE RUST PATTERN. BOTH TRANSMISSIONS WERE MADE IN THE RAMOS, MEXICO GM FACTORY IN WITHIN A SHORT TIME FRAME. THIS IS MAJOR CONCERN IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED ON AN INTERSTATE AND THE LOSS OF SPEED COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC LIKE AN ACCIDENT LOCALLY IN LOWNDES COUNTY, MS WHERE A CROWN VICTORIA WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN SOMETHING FAILED IN THAT CAR AND SLOWED DOWN. TWO PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIFE. *TR

TIRES
WE WERE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON US HWY 131 JUST NORTH OF KALAMAZOO, MI. OUR WILDERNESS AT P255/70R16 SHREDDED AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO ROLL OVER. THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY $2400 PLUS $197 FOR TWO TIRES. WE BOUGHT SUBURBAN FROM A FORD DEALER IN WI IN DECEMBER 2011. THE TIRES WERE ON THE VEHICLE. WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE RECALLED AND ALSO WERE 14 YEARS OLD. WE WENT TO THE FORD DEALER TO SEE ABOUT BEING REIMBURSED FOR THE TWO TIRES THAT THEY KNOWINGLY PUT ON THE SUBURBAN. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY PUT THE TIRES ON BUT CLAIMED IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO KNOW ALL THE TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WE THEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FIRESTONE. NINE MONTHS AFTER WE FILED THE COMPLAINT, SENT THE EVIDENCE, ALL PAPERWORK, THE TIRE WITH SHREDDED PIECES, AND COST OF REPAIRS, WE RECEIVED A NOTE THAT FIRESTONE WAS NOT LIABLE, THAT THE TIRE WAS 14 YEARS OLD, AND THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR ONE TIRE. THEY SAID THAT THE TIRE WAS NOT PROPERLY INFLATED. WE TOOK THE AIR OUT WHEN IT WAS SENT BECAUSE UPS WOULDN'T TAKE IT WITH AIR IN IT. WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE SECOND TIRE. IT HAS EXCELLENT TREAD. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING FROM LOOKING AT IT THAT IT IS A HAZARD. SHOULDN'T A TIRE COMPANY THAT RECALLED TIRES HAVE TO REPLACE THEM EVEN IF THEY ARE OLD? WE HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW THAT THE TIRE WENT COMPLETELY BALD AND NEVER WENT FLAT. *TR

ENGINE
THE OIL WAS 1 1/2 QUARTS LOW AFTER ONLY 900 MILES. THEY FILLED IT UP AND AGAIN IN OCT, IT WAS 1 QUART LOW AFTER ONLY 700 MILES. I HAD A TERRIBLE FAMILY TRAGEDY IN DEC AND WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CONSUMPTION DOCUMENTED HOWEVER, I DID HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY IT WAS NOT DOCUMENTED BUT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL TAG WAS "MISSING" AND THAT THEY WERE STARTING A NEW TAG. IN FEB I WENT AGAIN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. ON APRIL 15TH MY OILING CAME ON STATING MY OIL WAS LOW AND NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. ON APRIL 16TH I NOTICED MY TRUCK START TO HESITATE AND CHUG AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I THOUGH PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS. I USED THE REST OF THE TANK AND FILLED UP ON APRIL 18TH. ON APRIL 19TH I NOTICED IT WAS STILL HESITATING AND GETTING WORSE, NOW IT WAS NOT ONLY AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WAS RANDOM AND MORE FREQUENT. THE MORNING OF APRIL 20TH I CALLED AL SERRA AND TOLD THEM I WAS SCARED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS A DANGER TO DRIVE MY 5 CHILDREN AROUND IN FEAR THAT WE WOULD LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY OR GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE SERVICE REP STATED THEY COULD NOT GET MY TRUCK IN UNTIL TUESDAY. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THAT ANSWER AND VISITED A LOCAL MECHANIC. UPON MY ARRIVAL I TOLD MY MECHANIC THAT MY CAR WAS HESITATING AND LOSING POWER. THE MECHANIC TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND CAME BACK TO TELL ME THE OIL WAS BONE DRY. HE STATED THAT IF I HAD DRIVEN MUCH FURTHER, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SEIZED. HE WANTED ME TO HOW THE VEHICLE TO AL SERRA E NO HELP AND STRANDED WITH MY 5 CHILDREN. NOW, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE JANUARY OF 2012. OF COURSE, MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAS NOW RUN OUT AND IT IS 3 MONTHS PAST THE WARRANTY OF THE REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE. HOWEVER, THE ONGOING PROBLEM WAS DOCUMENTED PRIOR, MUCH PRIOR, TO THE REPAIR WARRANTY RUNNING OUT. OIL CONSUMPTION GM IGNORING PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS RELATED TO MULTIPLE DOOR LOCK FAILURES - NOT JUST SINGLE LOCKS, BUT MANY CASES OF 2-4 LOCKS FAILING ON A SINGLE VEHICLE. LOCKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE (ESPECIALLY IN QUANTITIES OF 3 OR 4) AND REPRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DOORS CANNOT BE SECURED. *TR
