I have a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. I have had it for two years. I am having problems similar to what it's the gm recall. This doesn't happen everytime I drive. I can be driving down the street or on the expressway and my vehicle will just shut off and the battery light will come on. After sitting for a few minutes, the truck will start back up with no problem or without having any boost. I have been having this problem since I have had the vehicle and noone could ever tell me what the problem was. I think it is the ignition switch. Please assist me in finding out how I can get my truck fixed as I am a mother of 4 and that is my only means of transportation. I am blessed for having not being in a fatal accident or accident period due to this problem since I have had this vehicle. Thanks.

I learned through a friend today that there may be a condition in my 2004 Chevrolet Suburban that I should be very careful with when leaving small children in the vehicle for brief periods of time. I was told that when the key is turned to the first/accessories position, that the shifter lock disengages so that the shifter can be moved out of park and into neutral, etc. Because this could easily be an issue when I leave my child in the vehicle and leave the key turned to the accessory position while I'm loading the car, walking around to reach him to fasten seat-belt, fill gas, etc. , I tested it, and it's true. The shifter can be easily moved into neutral when the key is in the accessory position. I know this is true not only on some or all of the Suburbans, but on yukons, too. This should be recalled and corrected.

Consumer owns a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban. He took vehicle to dealer at least seven times since April. When the vehicle turns over it just does not start. He came back from myrtle beach, and while driving on the interstate at 80 mph when the vehicle shut down and stalled. He managed to coast off the interstate, it then started back up with one attempt. He traveled about 150 miles and the vehicle stalled again and it started back, this time it started and was running a little rough. The consumer took vehicle to the next exit and found a dealer who told him that he could make it back to ohio if he did not drive it very fast. The dealer told him that it was the fuel filter that was not able to handle the pressure. He drove back at 55 mph, and the vehicle did not shut down. The next morning he took vehicle to dealer in farris ohio where he bought the vehicle. The dealer changed the ignition switch, the fuel pump, and something he thinks is called a ubeck. He was frustrated that he seemed to spend too much time at the dealer instead at home.
I own a 2004 chevy Suburban. My son was detailing the car in the driveway. My other son was detailing his truck behind it. My son detailing the Suburban had the key turned to "accessory" and was listening to music while working. As he was wiping the dash board off, his arm hit the steering wheel shifter and popped the truck out of gear! it rolled down the driveway hitting my other son's truck, luckily missing him! come to find out, gm had produced this vehicle with the accessory position unlocking the shifter. I checked the manual and found no warning or reference to this situation. I own a 2002 gm truck and it put in accessory does not unlock the shifter. I contacted gm to investigate and warn it's owners, but they found on March 17, 2005 by letter to me that the Suburban was "operating as designed". No other vehicle has ever unlocked the shifter in the accessory position. Lives are in danger. Many people listen to the music in their vehicle while detailing or even tailgating at a football game. Someone will be crushed if they are not warned of the design flaw. I have tried writing a couple news orginizations and have warned everyone I know. I think it may take you to help. Please help!!.
