1 Transmission Noise problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 04/12/2020

First the transmission failed right after I purchased the vehicle 2 years ago. I had to buy a new transmission that wasn't cheap around $3,500. Then the front wheel bearings started with the right side last year just had a ton of play in it my mechanic found it when lifting up my truck for a tire rotation. Then the left front wheel bearing just started making a load roaring noise but had no play in it at all that I could feel when checking it out. Both cost around $250 a wheel to replace. Now my 5. 3 liter engine is having a knocking sound when at a stop after driving about 30 minutes or when the engine is hot. Also I am hearing a slight ticking sound from the engine cold or hot. I have 4 small kids so I need a very reliable large vehicle and this is Suburban is driving me and my wife crazy having to poor money in this vehicle every year. I am the soil provider for my family I cant afford putting all my money into a vehicle like this.

2 Transmission Noise problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 05/01/2014

2008 Chevrolet Suburban. Consumer writes in regards to the disappointment in the manufacturer due to numerous vehicle repairs. The consumer stated the vehicle would run rough, the check engine light illuminated, the service stabilitrak and traction control lights illuminated when some of the cylinders shut down, the lifters were not properly lubricated, causing them to fail. The engine consumed large amounts of oil. There were noises coming from the oil pan and transmission area, 3 of the 4 door locks actuators were replaced, the rear liftgate broke for the 4th time, the right retractable mirror was inoperable, the cruise control worked about 505 of the time, which was probably tied the throttle positioning sensor going bad as well. Also, the vehicle had significant electrical problem, where certain lights would illuminate on the dashboard, there was an audible clicking noise, that sounded like a relay firing very quickly.

3 Transmission Noise problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 05/06/2004

I was driving on the NJ turnpike near exit 10, travelling to boston. Ahead, all traffic was stopped in both the inner and outer set of lanes. As I decelerated, I heard a noise and the truck jerked slightly. When I tried to pull off the road into the service lane, I had no transmission and had to drift to the shoulder. I was told there was a catastrophic failure of the transmission and it had to be completely rebuilt (under warranty). When the vehicle had around 70,000 miles (about 2 years ago, 2013), the transmission failed again and had to be completely rebuilt again. Pathetic. The vehicle currently has 83,000 mi on it.
