Last year 2012, the Suburban was blowing smoke out tailpipe, less than 100k miles, so dealership installed new valve cover with proper grommit for pcv under warranty. Sept. 2013 115k miles, engine bucking, dash lights all on, running on 7 cylinders, chevy dealership states #1 spark plug "came out". And that oil pressure sensor was bad, but still pressure, so not urgent. . . . Nov 19, 2013 - truck now making 'back fire' noises and pressure sensor moving back and forth across 40. . . . Afraid will break down again. Also, have peeling chrome on inside door handles like prior complaint, that is cutting hands/fingers!.

My back hatch won't open with pod and there are no other ways to get in. I can't open it from the inside or outside, and the window won't open either. This is a safety hazard, and I am finding many other people online are having the same issue as I am.

I would like to call your attention to an accident that happened to my 17 month old granddaughter. In attempting to steady herself while walking, she accidentally touched the tire on my daughter's Chevrolet Suburban. Her small hand slipped through the hub cap space and came in contact with the hot brake pad, causing her to suffer 2nd degree burns on the palm of her hand. It is my belief that this must have happened to other young children. Parents with whom my daughter and I have spoken had no idea that brake pads were so accessible. I am concerned that the public is not aware of this danger and should become aware as soon as possible. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

The 2001 Suburban's body frame and front wheel wells are poorly designed in that they allow extensive amounts of water spray from flooded roadways to saturate the windshield while driving, causing the drivers view of the road to be completely obstructed creating an unsafe driving environment.

Incidents regarding tires and/or frame issues not sure.
Read on RV. Net about hitch failures. Contacted hitch shop, had mine inspected. Upon inspection found that the drift pin holes were elongating and fracturing. Since I tow a travel trailer often, it was determined by the hitch shop that the hitch would eventually fail due to the excessive wear around the drift pin area of the hitch. They stated that the metal may not have been hardened correctly.
