Seven problems related to suspension have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving there was vibration in the steering wheel. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
When the vehicle made a turn steering wheel would became loose, and the vehicle jerked into the next lane. Steering wheel became stiff after it jerked. The problem only happened when a left or right turn was made. The mechanic indicated that evo sensor was going out and needed to be replaced. . . . . .
Vehicle wanders when speed exceeds 35 or more mph. Vehicle been in/out of dealer shop more then three times. Condition still unresolved. Vehicle put consumer at risks when used.
Vehicle constantly jerks from left to right at any speed over 30 mph. It is very hard to keep on the road. It started at aprox 15,000 mi. I have changed tires and that did not help. A lot of my CO-workers have the same problem with their truck too. If you ask service they know exactly what causes this and say it is not under warranty.
When driving at any speed and driving straight ahead the steering wheel will turn in different direction, and will keep turning in different directions. That can cause an accident, and it is very unsafe to be driving. The dealer states there isn't anything they can do.
Steering wheel sometimes jerks out of my hands as if I've hit a patch of ice. Also feel the truck bouncing while driving as if there is a bubble in the right front tire. Took the truck to the dealer about 7 times with not resolution. Had the truck checked at goodyear dealer 6 months after purchase. Goodyear said the the tires were defective. Said they were cupped or chopped. I paid $700 dollars to replace tires after dealer refused to do so, but still experience bouncing sensation at 60-70 mph. Noticed both problems the day I bought the truck. ( dot number: tire size: 245/75r16 ).
The vehicle is experiencing erratic steering problems. When changing lanes and or turning corners , the steering wheel will jump sideways .
