Suspension Problems of Chevrolet Suburban - part 2

When traveling at interstate highway speeds vehicle had shaking, shimmying, vibration and buffeting as well as loud hum and wind noise causing nausea resulting in nausea and dizziness to the driver. This was worse on new macadam and on grooved highway but occurred intermittently on other surfaces, I just purchased this vehicle used and it is certified. I was unaware that this is a common issue and understand now that there is no recall to fix this and that gm has not found a permanent solution to the problem. The vehicle was also exhausting to drive on the highway because of the aforementioned issues.

Yesterday after bouncing all over the road for months and to the point of being unsafe to drive I took the SUV to the dealership only to be told I need 2 new shocks on the front end ($2,000). When you spend over $70k on an SUV and just a few years later you need new shocks means clearly something is seriously wrong with the vehicle. After looking around I was correct it is due to a failed magnetic ride system which chevy is aware of and choosing to do nothing. Shame on chevy for doing nothing and ignoring the impact to the customer. This will be the last chevy I ever buy. At least some compensation would be great but the dealership doing the work said no since chevy does not recognize the defect.

In October 2017 we experienced brief periods where brake pedal became rigid and impossible to depress. The vehicle was taken to our local Chevrolet dealer. We described in detail the rigid brake pedal. The dealer wanted to do put new brake pads and turn the rotors. I thought it was strange that a vehicle with just over 40 thousand miles would need new brakes, but we had the work done. The dealer also wanted to replace the vacuum hose which powers the brake system. This work was also done. Next, on Friday March 23, 2018 we were traveling on an interstate at a high speed when the brake pedal became impossible to depress. We were very fortunate not to cause a serious accident. I had to have it towed to a dealer and rent a car. The following week we were contacted by the dealer doing the repairs. Our Suburban had a vacuum pump failure. This caused total brake failure. After some research I discovered that this vehicle's engine does not produce enough vacuum to power the brakes (unlike every other vehicle on the road). In any other car the only way you lose suction for your brakes is if the engine stops. In our Suburban the engine can be running fine and you may or may not have brakes. The warning system is totally useless as it isn't triggered until you experience total brake failure without any warning. While the vehicle was in the service department having vacuum pump replaced the dealer also explained that all four magnetic ride shocks/struts were locked in place and not functioning at all. This is another serious safety issue. I have never heard of shocks "locking up" . After some more research, I found this is a huge problem for gm vehicles. A problem that gm has failed to address. I have also had 3 major repairs on ac. Including ne ac lines and new compressor.

Car exhibits shaking/vibrations at speeds about 65mph, which at times is accompanied by a buffeting sound.

Our Suburban is losing steering control and the front suspension begins to bounce. The warning on the dash is "action required" steering assist is reduced drive with care. The vehicle has had this happen in statiknary and while driving.

Car shakes at speeds over 65mph with no solution from dealer or Chevrolet after multiple trips to dealer for a permanent repair. Or response from Chevrolet customer service.

I just purchased this vehicle a month ago and already received a recall for the software airbag issue. I traded my 2010 chevy Suburban for this new one and have noticed that the moment I get onto the freeway and start to accelerate the car starts to vibrate so bad that anything in the middle console starts to rattle and the console will spill any drinks sitting there in the cupholders. I have owned chevy vehicles all my life and am very annoyed that this is happening. Something is seriously wrong. I also just noticed that there is a recall for the suspension recall 42190 and parts are not available at this time I just bought this vehicle in sept 2016 and it only has 800 miles on it and notices went out may-June 2016 and I was not made aware when I purchased this vehicle. I will also talk to the dealership according to this recall the vehicle should not be driven until its fixed. Who was going to tell me this had I not looked it up and not driving it is impossible its our only vehicle and were a family of 7. Four of those are my babies. I also will be taking it in due to the recall 16007. The vibration of the vehicle will also be discussed as well.

My dash started cracking for no reason. I went out today to get in my vehicle and noticed a crack along my dash that wasn't their yesterday.

Have had our vehicle in the dealership 3 times for road/tire vibration from ?tires or suspension. Dealership has changed 3 of 4 tires could not get road forced balances with 22 inch tires. Dealership claims bad batch of tires from bridgestone. Vibration has continued at speeds of 70-80 mph. It all began after the first service at 5792 mile and tire rotation. Vehicle was brought back to dealership advising of vibration in steering wheel and both front seats. Dealership claimed that they were not able to get tires balanced. Had to order 3 different sets of replacement tires with no prevail. Brought back again for second required service and dealership has rotated the tires for a second time.

"takata recall" gm tells me that I just have to drive my defective vehicle until they come up with a repair. I also have a cracked dashboard which I think has something to do with the airbag. Not safe for my family of 5. I spent $60,000 for a potential death trap!!! suspension light on and dealership wont tell me what is wrong.

I own a 2016 chevy Suburban ltz purchased Feb 29, 2016. It is now at the dealer and for a second time dealing with a vibration issue starting at approximately 43 mph and continuing to worsen as speed increases. The tires have been road forced balance but vibration is still present. This is the second Suburban with issues, the 2015 I had was so problematic that gm did trade assistance to get me out of it, but it still cost me money. The current 2016 Suburban as only 1600 miles on it and vibration issues began at approximately 900 miles. I cannot describe the inconvenience and frustration I am experiencing for a vehicle costing more than $70,000. Gm knows there is a problem and their lack of fixing it or addressing it is nothing short of criminal theft. They take people's money knowing their vehicles are sub-standard then relegate me to a pathetic loaner vehicle, tell me it is "normal" and in the end toss a little money for "trade assistance" resulting in another problematic issue. I beg and implore you as the federal regulatory agency to make gm accountable immediately. Either force them to immediately fix these vehicles, force them to buy them back at full purchase prices and stop them from selling them immediately. Frankly, this issue is the same as vw with tdi engines except that gm is not covering it up and feds are not forcing the hand. Help protect the money and lives of us citizens. There have been numerous complaints!.

The fuel line that is on top of the gas tank rotted through. The brake and transmission lines rotted and leaked. The chassis is rotting in different places I have less than 77,000 miles on it since I bought new. I have a 1969 malibu that I've had since it was new and I keep it outside in all kinds of weather and not one part of the chassis is rotted. I don't know what kind of steel they use now to build these cars and trucks, but it should be unacceptable. I don't know the exact dates these things happened, but I do have all the repair bills for them. When the brake line rotted through I was going to the store and when I came to a yield sign the brake pedal whet to the floor. It's a good thing it happened then, because I live on a mountain and we have a road called breakneck and it is a 25% grade. It was raining the day that this happened and all I had was a little bit of foot brake and the emergency brake. I surely would have had a bad accident if I made it to that hill.

I purchase a new Chevrolet Suburban in June 2004 from priority Chevrolet in chesapeake virginia. At about 4000 miles I noticed the inside edges (about 1 inch wide) on the front tires were wearing more than the rest of the tire surface, I called the service department of the dealership and they told that while they are aware of the problem with uneven tire wear on Suburbans that it is not a warranty covered item. I took the vehicle to firestone and they told me the cambers needed to be adjusted. The tires on the front continue to wear faster on the inside edges than the rest of the tire surface. I am very diligent about service of my 3 automobiles. If this is a persistent problem with Suburbans as it was stated to me, my concern is that the uneven tire wear is an accident waiting to happen. These potential tire failures need to be brought to the attention of general motors. Even if an accident does not occur these tires are not cheap. Once the inside wear becomes bad enough the tires will not pas inspection thus creating a cost to the vehicle owner at a premature time. I feel this is a dangerous situation which needs to be brought to the attention of gm.

While driving 40 mph vehicle vibrated uncontrollably. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that vehicle needed an alignment. However, the problem recurred. The consumer had the front end aligned and the front shock replaced but the problem is intermittent.
