Seven problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 2009 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Excessive oil consumption. Vehicle use 2 quarts of oil every 3000 miles. This is a know manufacturer defect but yet they are making me pay for the repairs.
Excessive oil consumption is a problem affecting a lot of people with this model in 2009-2010. Chevy needs to issue the recall and address their problem. Very sad and frustrating.
Dash panel has cracks on driver and passenger side. Both motor mounts are defective. Engine burns oil badly.
As I'm slowing down my car shoots out almost into traffic. It wore down both my front and rear break pads. Also burns oil. I have to add a full bottle o oil every couple o weeks. Has smoked from exhaust real bad one time before I knew to add oil. Now since yesterday July 13, 2015 it says to service stabilitrak and traction control is off.
No oil pressure light display. Shut off engine I had to add oil. I believe I have the same oil consumption problem many others have been concerned about. I've had to add oil to my Suburban ever since I bought it in 2009. I have to add oil every 1000 miles. Even if I've had an oil change. I carry extra oil with for fear of the no oil pressure light coming on. My most current problem was with oil still at 40%.
Purchased a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban in 2010, with approximately 26,000 miles. It currently has 64,353 miles and the engine is vigorously consuming oil. On July 10th, 2013 I was on the parkway when I began to hear a ticking nose coming from the front of the vehicle, the warning indicator inside the car went off and the display read "oil pressure low", the actual reader gage was marking nearly at 0. I exited at the nearest exit, and had to refill the motor oil with nearly 6 qts. The next oil change is not due til about a month from now or another 600 miles. There aren't any visible leaks, the truck just seems to be burning oil faster than I can run it through to the next scheduled oil change or the 3,000 miles usually allowed by most oils. I have done some research and it appears that a good amount of this particular model have the same exact issue. I do not understand how it falls on the consumer to make such repairs when it is clearly a matter that should be corrected by Chevrolet. I don't believe this is a safety issue, but it is certainly a matter that should be taken care of as running a vehicle without motor oil could potentially kill the engine, and permanently disable a vehicle, or even worse bring up a class action lawsuit against the manufactures. I've been a faithful customer of Chevrolet but this could perhaps be a deal breaker for me, as it has been for many individuals whom have traded off their vehicles for something a bit more reliable.
