general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Suburban

I have a 2008 Suburban. Beginning in August, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was backed up. I was idling, waiting for the traffic to move, like every other car on the hightway and the Suburban just shut off and said "stablitrak off. " it happened numerous times after this, just when idling. I took to the dealership I bought it at. They charged a ton to fix something but it didn't' take care of the problem. It's gotten so much worse. I took back a few months ago and they fixed it again, but didn't charge us this time. Now it's so much worse. Anytime I'm iding, just picking my daughter up at school or just stopped at a red light, a warning comes across, "service stabilitrak" or "stablitrak off. " and the car immediately shuts off. It usually restarts in 5 minutes or so and I can usually make it to my destination as long as I don't idle again. Monday I was picking up my daughter and it stalled in the parking lot at her high school with tons of cars behind me- I waited, restarted it as I have done in the past. But then, going down this steep high school hill, the car shut off, lost steering and brakes wouldn't even work. I had teen drivers ahead of me that I nearly crashed into, teens in my car. This is not ok. We took it back to the dealership and now they say it's an electrical problem. I've read a ton online forums that this is something that happens with a lot of other people. I'm afraid to drive my car. I'm also not sure what to get fixed because these other people have spent tons of money, just like me with no results.

Check engine light turned on took it in for code results bad firing on plug 7. Replaced still engine running rough and light is still on. After research it seems that the throttle position sensor seems to go bad on these vehicles? of course it is out of warranty, makes me wonder if this should be a recall?.

Takata recall.

My 2008 chevy Suburban with 94,000 miles stalled while in traffic travelling at about 20 mph without warning. I luckily was able to coast it to the side of the road and after letting it sit for a short time it did restart again but only to stall again after the car ran for another 5 minutes again traveling at about 20 mph. I had it towed to my dealership and have been told that my crankshaft position sensor has failed. While my VIN and year is not covered, there is an active recall on this condition (gm recall no. 06083. ). This is a very dangerous issue to have especially when traveling with small children in the car. The recall should be extended to other years who experience this issue for the safety of families.

Complaint to document a safety issue on a 2008 chevy Suburban. Sharp edges on interior door handles causing serious injuries to the hands of passengers. The chrome finish is delaminating from the interior door handles causing sharp knife like edges as noted on several 2007 gm models in defect investigation report ea10004. My 2008 Chevrolet Suburban has the same problem as described in the previous investigation. Several people have been injured by the sharp edges on the door handles in my 2008 Suburban when trying to open the door from the inside. The sharp edges have caused deep cuts to the hands of my wife, and her mother, as well as minor cuts to others. There is a very serious potential for infection and transmission of disease because of the amount of bleeding from these injuries. Doors handles inherently carry germs, and because the injuries are caused by these door handles, the risk is considerably higher. Based on the research I have performed on the subject, this is a much more widespread problem than previously identified, and is not isolated to 2007 models alone. I have file a complaint the gm customer service in an attempt to resolve the matter. If gm is unwilling to replace these defective dangerous handles, then I will replace the handles to prevent further injuries at my own expense.

Door handles chrome plating peels off on interior door handles. I have cut my fingers multiple times opening the door.

Door handle failure three times, waiting for fourth to fail at anytime. Gm complaint dept refuses to accept responsibility. Three door locks failed by 39,000 miles, last one being right passenger door. We have a 1978 chevy pu and the door locks never failed! this is absurd, a $55,000 top of the line ltz model should not have this problem, and gm won't acknowledge poor quality parts and workmanship! what can a consumer do to rectify this situation?.
