I purchases a set of new Michelin Defender LTX M/S LT265/75R16 (123/120R) tires for my 1999 Chevrolet Suburban K2500 in June 2023 and I am attempting to register the tires with Michelin. None of the tires have a date code on them. The DOT code of these tires is 1M3 4N 00KX, there is NO date code on any of the four (4) tires.

The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost power steering and power braking functionality. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the security system that controlled the fuel pump and fuel injectors had been activated. The contact pulled off the highway and could not restart the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed to a service station where he inspected the vehicle and became aware that the distributor had disintegrated causing the vehicle to lose motive power and stall. The vehicle had not been taken to a dealer or to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact recently had a mobile mechanic install an aftermarket distributor cap and rotor from an auto parts dealer. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 183,613.

I contacted Chevrolet corporate and they confirmed an open government ordered recall. They told me to contact a local dealer. I have contacted 2 dealers in the San Diego area, Bob Sall Chevrolet and Courtesy Chevrolet. Both refuse to fix the recall issue. I was told by Bob Stall Chevrolet that I could pay myself to have the work done

The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact was able to push the vehicle to the side of the road with the assistance of Police Officers. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that fuel was leaking onto the ground and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred two more times while driving. The vehicle was then towed to the independent mechanic, who replaced the fuel pump two more times. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 06E043000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was bouncing while sitting in the seats and while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the tires and aligned the vehicle several times; however, the failure had been reoccurring. The contact also stated that the dashboard was fractured. The contact also stated that water was leaking through the top of the windshield whenever it rained. The windshield was replaced twice. The contact stated that the rear driver’s side seat belt and passenger’s seat belt failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the seat belts would fail to come out of the housing or they would be twisted whenever they came out of the housing. The contact also stated that the seat belt latches were not wo

Rear brakes started grabbing and locking up about 9,009 miles after a drum, shoe and hardware replacement. Rear skids and slides.

MY SUBURBAN HAS 43,700 MILES, AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THAT THE SYSTEM IS UNREPAIRABLE, THE ONLY THING THEY CAN RECOMMEND IS TO PULL THE FUSE AND DISABLE THE ABS SYSTEM ENTIRELY. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL PARTS STORE, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE EBCM- ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE- WAS THE MODEL KH310, MANUFACTURED BY KELSEY-HAYES, AND IT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. FURTHER, THAT THERE ARE NO USED, REPAIRED OR REMANUFACTURED UNITS AVAILABLE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET, AGAIN, THERE ARE NO UNITS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE, NO ONE MANUFACTURES A REPLACEMENT, IN FACT THAT MODEL, THE KH 310, IS "UNREPAIRABLE." YET I'M PRETTY SURE THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE SUBURBANS STILL ON THE ROAD TODAY, MANY WHICH HAVE NON-FUNCTIONING AND NOW TOTALLY UNREPAIRABLE ABS BRAKES. IT IS A HEAVY VEHICLE- WEIGHS ABOUT 5,300 POUNDS, AND WITH ITS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS OFTEN USED IN THE WINTER, ESP IN SNOWY PLACES LIKE WI WHERE I LIVE. I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS, PERHAPS EVEN IRRESPONSIBLE, TO SAY TO THE OWNERS OF ALL THESE VEHICLES; "SORRY, WE CAN'T FIX IT, YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE AND GO WITHOUT ABS." I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE GOVERNMENT TELL GM, OR KELSEY-HAYES, THAT AT THE LEAST THEY NEED TO MAKE A COMPATIBLE REPAIR UNIT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. IF I LEAVE THE FUSE PLUGGED IN, THE "ABS" WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF, BUT THE TRUCK WANTS TO ROLL THROUGH A STOP LIGHT SINCE THE ABS RELEASES THE BRAKES, ERRO

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER OF A 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH DOWNHILL, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REACHED SPEEDS OF BETWEEN 95-100 MPH BEFORE CRASHING INTO A BUILDING WITH AN ALUMINUM STRUCTURE. THE CRASH WAS ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED LACERATION OVER THE RIGHT EYE WHICH REQUIRED SEVERAL STITCHES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED REGAL DODGE LOCATED AT 1223 BLUE VALLEY DR, PEN ARGYL, PA 18072, (610) 863-6900, WHERE IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKES DIDN`T WORK, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE.I THEN NOTICED SEVERAL RUSTED BRAKE LINES ONE OF WHICH HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I HAD MY WIFE STEP ON THE PEDAL AND BRAKE FLUID CAME STREAMING OUT OF THE HOLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 63 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE CALIBERS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKES FAILED DUE TO CORRODED BRAKE LINES. APPEARS THAT REAR LINES FAILED BUT NEITHER FRONT OR REAR BRAKES WORKED DURING INCIDENT. BRAKE LINES ARE VERY RUSTY WHEREAS THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST ON OTHER COMPONENTS.

THE FIRST ISSUE I HAD WAS WHILE ON VACATION IN 2012 - I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 25 MPH AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE LOST WHAT I ESTIMATE TO BE 80% OF STOPPING POWER. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, ALWAYS AT LOW SPEEDS, WITH A REPAIR SHOP BEING UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS, IT WAS EVENTUALLY TRACED TO A CORRODED BRAKE LINE IN THE FRONT DRIVER AREA OF THE VEHICLE ONLY AFTER THE LINE RUPTURED COMPLETELY AND I MISSED GOING THROUGH THE FENCE SEPARATING MY YARD FROM THE NEIGHBORS BY JUST INCHES. THAT LINE WAS REPLACED, BUT WITH A USED PART BECAUSE THE LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO SELL AN EXACT FIT BRAKE LINE AND THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ORIGINAL PART BY HAND. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS ALWAYS WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE, AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ONLY WHILE THE BRAKES WERE ACTIVELY FAILING. IT WOULD TURN OFF AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE. FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST 2015 - I'M COMING TO A STOP IN A DRIVEWAY, AND THE PEDAL SUDDENLY SINKS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER STEPPING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID. IT WAS FULL. THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS TRACED TO A METAL BRAKE LINE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS LINE IS ALSO HEAVILY CORRODED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE FRAME O

THERE WAS NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT PRIOR TO THIS. EVEN AFTERWARDS THERE WAS STILL NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND WET BRAKE FLUID ON THE ENGINE CROSSOVER FRAME AND ON ONE OF THE OUTSIDE REAR WHEELS. I WENT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND STILL NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER I STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND THE PEDAL CONTINUED GOING TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING, IT IS EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. I SEE ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE FELT USELESS, WHY IS THIS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF? HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS SAME PROBLEM? AND IF IT IS A KNOWN FACT, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO KIND OF ANNOUNCEMENT MADE PUBLICLY? I HATE TO THINK THAT OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD TAKE THAT RISK, WHERE IS THE SAFETY THAT WE AS AMERICANS ARE GUARANTEED BY OUR LEADERS AND OFFICES?

DOOR LATCHES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ARE MALFUNCTIONING.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER INSIDE HANDLE AND DRIVER SIDE HANDLE DID NOT WORK AND HE HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD LACK PRESSURE AND WOULD OFTENTIMES FALL INTO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. PREVIOUSLY, A FULL BRAKE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK) CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE SHE EXPERIENCED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 170,000 .

DOORS HAVE TO BE SLAMMED IN ORDER TO CLOSE PROPERLY, THE RIGHT DOOR IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FALLS OFF THE HINGES AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND HAS TO BE READJUSTED AND THE PART THAT HOLDS THE DOOR INTO THE HINGES HAS TO BE HAMMERED BACK INTO PLACE BEFORE THE DOOR IS ABLE TO CLOSE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES ON INSIDE BREAK OR FALL OFF HINGE MECHANISM WITHIN THE DOOR. THIS POSES A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE WAS A NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. NOW, WE ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN ON BOTH SIDES TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE FIXED BEFORE INCLUDING BUYING A NEW INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. SAME ISSUE AGAIN, THE DOOR HANDLES JUST HANG THERE ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOORS. *TR

DEER ACCIDENT, LOST CONTROL RAN HEAD ON INTO THE CURB, HIT A SIGN. FRAME IS BENT, WINDSHIELD IS SHATTERED AND CAVED IN, FRONT PUSH GUARD IS BENT, AND FRONT PASSENGER FENDER WELL IS CAVED IN. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!!! *TR

I BELIEVE THE 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 05V379000 AND THE GM RECALL # 05068 EVEN THOUGH GENERAL MOTORS TELLS ME THAT MY VIN# IS NOT PART OF THERE RECALL. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE CAMPAIGN AND RECALL NUMBERS ( ANTILOCK BRAKES UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEEDS OF ABOUT 3-10 MPH ). THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT FIRST I DID NOT THINK IT WAS MUCH OF A PROBLEM. NOW EVERY TIME I BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO A SPEED OF ABOUT 6 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES START TO ACTIVATE. I NOW KNOW THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE BECAUSE ONCE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES START TO ACTIVATE, THE VEHICLE TAKES LONGER TO STOP NO MATER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE BRAKES. I WILL PROBABLY TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND HOPE G.M. WILL REIMBURSE ME IF AND WHEN THEY REALIZE THIS YEAR SUBURBAN SHOULD BE PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. *TR
