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.

5 Visibility problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 08/10/2009

The rear windows of the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban and tahoe automobiles (and presumably other model years as well) are simply glued to hinges. A great number of these windows have delaminated from the hinges. I was told by the Chevrolet service advisor two days ago (when I took my Suburban in for replacement of the rear window) that he has seen a large number of the window delaminations. He further advised me that if both hinges delaminate (which will eventually occur due to the extra weight being placed on a remaining hinge) that the window will separate from the automobile. If this occurs at high speed the consequences could be fatal for the automobile following behind. The service advisor stated that there should have already been a recall on the rear windows of Suburbans and tahoes.

7 Visibility problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 03/16/2008

I have a 2003 Suburban with 72k miles. About 12 months ago, the rear window began making a whistling noise while driving. When I inspected it I found that the hinge on the passenger side had separated from the window. I have tried to go through gm with no avail. Their answer is "it shouldn't have happened", but they are not going to do anything about it.
