Four problems related to battery have been reported for the 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Battery in 2007 Suburban ltz drained twice had to be jumped and then taken to dealer then had to be replaced.
2007 Suburban ltz battery has been completely drained 2x within one month. Once after having the doors and back open for approx 10 min and the other at a car wash while the staff cleaned the inside of the vehicle. ( approx 10 min). First time dealer blamed the cold and the lack of driving at the time, had the battery tested and the battery is completely dead. Will be taking to dealership tomorrow. Reading the reviews and am astonished that there are so many complaints about the battery drain issue. We purchased this vehicle as a family vehicle, but am very concerned with its reliability. This is a huge issue for a family with children.
No crashes or injuries. On the indicated date I had the engine turned off with the keys in the ignition, listening to the radio. After a short time approximately 10 minutes, I discovered that the car battery was completely drained. I have been careful not let these incidents occur again but it has repeated at least 6 times. The most recent time was when I had a flat tire replaced and the tire service tech attempted to reprogram the tire pressure monitor system at which time, the battery was drained immediately. The reprogramming was impossible because the battery would not provide electricity to complete the tpms. I followed the owners manual's instructions and had the same results, a dead battery and unsuccessful attempt. I now have a useless tpms and the danger of getting stranded with a dead battery. The dealership offers to attempt to fix the problem starting at $99. 00 +. A new vehicle should be free of these types of defects. I should not be paying for the repair.
In August last year I purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. At 2000 miles the car is 1st totally draining the battery ( I was in camping in the middle of the forest- they found me after 3 hrs- sheriff dept). Since then every month same and the dealer can not find the problem. They changed 3 batteries. Today 2/21/2007 is the 7th time. I pay $825/mth + rent a car every month -- they do not pay for rent a car because they start blame each other. GMC is blaming the dealer and the dealer GMC. I'm in the middle and I don't have a car. I need your help thank you.
