Nine problems related to power train have been reported for the 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving the vehicle in motion when out of no where the engine started making a loud thumping crackling sound.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The check engine, electronic stability control, check suspension, and traction control warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 169,887.
The tcc is defective and causess shuttering at low and high speeds on a surburban less than 100,000 miles on vehicle.
The forward sprag unit broke which ended up not only causing the vehicle to come out of drive while we were driving but also caused significant enough damage to the transmission to requite an entire rebuild. Faulty transmissions are a very common issue with this vehicle, and the tahoe, yukon and because the company refuses to back their products and recall the issue, it ends up becoming a huge financial burden on a family. Thankfully there was no one following directly behind us when this happened or it could have been much worse. Chevrolet needs to take note and stand behind their products. Consumers have a right to expect a quality vehicle that should last well beyond 100k miles without requiring this kind of major repair. Note that gm is so aware of this safety problem, they actually updated their input sprag on later cars to make them stronger. Thats right, they have updated the component but refuse to recall the ones already in vehicles that were weak. The transmission shop that rebuilt my transmission had the exact same issue on the vehicle that followed mine. This seems to be a pattern with gm that the NHTSA should look into.

My Suburban wont shift or move in drive or in 3rd. It will go in to 2nd and 1st and reverse. It just revs up when in drive. I was reading online and found several other people to have the same problem with this vehicle. This should be a recall on the transmission or defective parts causing this in the transmission.
I just got a call today from my mechanic and he told me that the whole rear axle had to be replaced and if I don't replace it I could have an accident . What can I do to get this replace at no cost. Is there a recall for this ????.
I was proceeding from an intersection and turning left, I reached a speed of 15-20 mph and there was a "bang" and a "clunk" and the power to the wheels was gone, I coasted to the roadside and was unable to put the car in "d" drive or "3" it was as if it was in neutral. I was able to limp home using 1st and 2nd gears. Vehicle was towed to dealership for a transmission replacement due to the failure of the forward sprag component.
