I received a letter dated July 2, 2012 that indicated that the tires I previously purchased from pepboys were defective and could blow apart while driving. The tires had dot serial number ut t6 pa7. So, I took the letter and vehicle back to pepboys but they were not aware of the recall. In any event, they did replace all four tires free of charge. However, it seems that are still selling the defective tires becase the tires they installed on my vehicle, for the second time, had dot serial ut t6 pa7. So, it appears that I am still driving on the highway with defective tires.
Failure of brake line and loss of fluid with no warning light until pedal went all the way to the floor. Mechanic has reported severe corrosion of the brake line, calipers, spare tire assembly and no access to the brake line area above the spare tire without cutting the spare tire holder assembly out. Estimate is over $1000 to repair. Brake failure without a warning - very scary.
On my Chevrolet Suburban 2004; speedometer failed. My speedometer does not work any more. It no longer calculates speed. It is stuck pointing (resting) past fastest label of 120mph.
While driving at approximately 65 mph on an interstate, the sun roof on my 2004 Chevrolet Suburban ripped off narrowly missing the car following us. The sun roof was closed at time time of the incident. Other than what sounded like an air leak, there was no warning or other indication of problems. The sun roof has rarely been opened since the car was purchased and definitely had not been opened in the past 2 years at least.
Transfer case had to be replaced before 70000 miles due to bearing. Passenger air went out and only blew hot after a battery change, had to replace entire air system. Air system went out again with 2nd battery replacement, but dealer was able to "reset" it. Speedometer only works sometimes. Binding noise in steering column , has been lubed numerous times while waiting for chevy to issue a recall according to dealer. This vehicle is driven under 15000 miles a year.
Instrument cluster failed after extrem cold tempatures, fuel guage, tempature guage, oil pressure gauge and batttery charging system gauge. Gm knows about the faulty gauges and as of this date has not made a recall of the instrument panel. Considering all legal remedies afforded by law as this is a problem that can be rectified by gm by replacing the aformentioned faulty factory equipment.
Driving down the road one day and reduced engine light comes on. My Suburban slows to about 35mph and will not go any faster. This occurs about 15 times a month. I am concerned about people driving behind me when it comes to a sudden slow if I can not get off the road. We have brought it to a dealership 3 times. They did not know what was wrong. We have changed the throttle pedal positioning sensor, map sensor, crank sensor, knock sensor, spark plugs, spark plug wires. Nothing has worked.
On my 2004 chevy Suburban the housing unit for the spare tire will not release the spare tire to come down, so you can fix a flat. I believe this is a safety issue because if you can't get the spare tire down, you can't change the flat--& you will be stuck on the highway with children--we had never used the spare tire before--but when we needed it, it was inoperable.
