1999 Chevrolet Suburban complaints

CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AT 15 MPH AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON, AND HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT. DEALER SAID NO BRAKE PAD WAS LEFT ON BRAKE. THEN, BRAKE PADS WORE DOWN TO HALF. VEHICLE STILL AT DEALER. *AK THE BRAKE FAILED COMPLETELY RESULTING IN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF BRAKE PROBLEM AND HAS CHANGED BRAKING SYSTEM FOR 2000 AND 2001 MODELS, BUT MADE NO RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE. THE BATTERY FAILED TWICE. *YH

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE FOR 1+ YEARS AND FOR 18,000 MILES. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL HE CAN DO AND THE CHEVROLET TEACHNICAL SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE NOT RESPONDED FOR HELP AND EVALUATION. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO NOT BE REPAIRABLE ATTHIS POINT OF TIME. BRAKING AT ANY SPEED PULLS THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WITHOUT WARNING. *AK

HEADLAMPS HAVE FAILED ON 2 OCCASIONS: 1. WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK HEADLIGHTS WERE SWITCHED ON, BUT FAILED TO POWER ON. LIGHT SWITCH WAS CYCLED WITHOUT RECOVERY OF HEADLAMPS. DAYLIGHT HEADLAMPS DID NOT FAIL AND WORKED WHEN SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF. TRIP WAS COMPLETED WITH LIGHT SWITCH TURNED OFF USING DAYLIGHT HEADLAMPS. 2. ON SECOND OCCURANCE LIGHT SWITCH WAS SWITCHED ON AND HEADLAMPS DID NOT COME ON. SWITCH WAS CYCLED AND HEADLAMPS CAME ON WHEN SWITCH WAS IN MARKER LIGHT POSITION. SWITCH WAS TURNED TO HEADLIGHT POSITION AND HEADLAMPS TURNED OFF. TRIP WAS AGAIN COMPLETED WITH DAYLIGHT HEADLAMPS. *AK

WHEN GASOLINE TANK IS FILLED (OR NEAR FULL) A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IS NOTICED AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ODOR IS STRONGER ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF FILLER CAP/TUBE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND FOUND NO PROBLEM, ATTRIBUTED IT TO POSSIBLY A LOOSE GAS CAP.

ROTORS HEAT CRACKED SO REPLACED--MIGHT BE MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT. *AK

WHEN BRAKING VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY PULL HARD TO LEFT OR RIGHT. STEERING WHEEL TURNS. *AK

AFTER GETTING HOME AND CLOSING CAR DOOR, REAR/RIGHT PASSENGER'S QUATER WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING, WINDOW WAS NOT CRACKED OR LOOSE. CONTATCED DEALER, AND DEALER SAID THAT WINDOW WAS NOT PART OF WARRANTY,AND THAT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS CONSUMER PAYS FOR IT. *AK

AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE DEVELOPED A PRONOUNCED VIBRATION RATHER RAPIDLY WHICH RESULTED IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND UPON EXAMINATION OF THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMALITY WAS OBSERVED IN THE SHAPE OF THE TIRE. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION THE TIRE TREAD WAS OBSERVED TO APPEAR TO BE SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE. TREAD WAS "BUBBLED" AWAY FROM THE BELTING. *AK (TIRESIZE: 245/75R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75R16 )

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND WAS STRUCK HEAD-ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO ENTERED FREEWAY THROUGH EXIT. UPON IMPACT, FRONT DUAL AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. CONSUMER WAS INJURED. *AK

THE VEHICLE SHAKES SEVERELY DURING HARD BRAKING. STEERING WHEEL PULSATES DURING NORMAL BRAKING. DEALER STATED THAT A COMPLETE FRONT BRAKE JOB WAS NEEDED. VIBRATION IS CAUSED BY WARPED FRONT ROTORS DUE TO WHAT THE DEALER CALLS "NORMAL WEAR". INSPECTION OF THE FRONT BRAKES SHOWS LESS THAN 50% WEAR ON THE BRAKE PADS AND NO OBVIOUS DEFECTS ON THE ROTORS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING. *AK

THE TRAILER HITCH RECEIVER DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE METAL ON THE LEFT SIDE NEAR THE AREA WHERE THE BOLTS ATTACH THE RECEIVER TO THE FRAME, CHEVROLET REPLACED THE PART. *MJS

4/00 ROTORS WARPED..DEALER TURNED THEM..11,900 MILES HAPPENED AGAIN..DEALER SERVICE WRITER CHRIS SAYS I'M CRAZY AND THOSE ROTORS DO NOT WARP..NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS NOT WANTED IN THEIR DEALERSHIP ANT LONGER..BROUGHT IT TO ROMONO CHEVROLET, THEY TURNED ROTORS AGAIN! BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN FOR SAME PROLEM, NOW THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T FEEL THE PULSATION. I WAITED A MONTH, BROUGHT IT BACK TODAY AT 16,500 MILES. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TODAY..I WANT ROTORS AND PADS CHANGED, THEY WILL PROBALY TURN THEM FOR THE 3RD TIME WHICH IS UNSAFE!! *AK

CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS PULLING INSIDE OF A PARKING SPACE AND ENGINE SURGED WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE. SURBURBAN JUMPED CURBE AND HIT A TREE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.*AK THE MECHANIC STATED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THROTTLE SENSOR FAILURE. *YH

BLOWOUT ON FIRST TIRE OCCURRED AT 65 MPH WITH 4 PEOPLE IN VEHICLE, SIDEWALL BURST. FIRESTONE DEALER ASSERTED THAT SOME CUT MUST HAVE OCAUSED FAILURE. INFLATION PRESSURES REGULARLY CHECKED. SECOND TIRE FAILURE FOUND AT NORMAL INSPECTION. APPROXIMATELY 4" FAILURE IN RUBBER ON SIDE WALL. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 2012MS TIRESIZE: 245/75R16)

RUPTURED VALVE STEM IN PASSENGER SIDE REAR FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT TIRE (P245 75 R16). *SLC

ERRATIC POWER STEERING, DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE, WANDERS, CLUNK IN STEERING GEAR. DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

WE HAVE RETURNED OUR SUBURBAN THREE TIMES ALREADY FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE FIRST AT ABOUT 13K MILES ONE ROTOR WAS REPLACE BECAUSE IT WAS WARPED AND THE OTHER WAS CUT. AT ABOUT 23K MILES BOTH ROTORS WERE FOUND TO BE WARPED AND REPLACED. NOW AT 30K MILES THE ROTOR WERE FOUND TO BE WARPED AND THEY WERE CUT. UNPON BRINGING THE SUBURBAN HOME FROM THE DEALER THE BRAKES ALMOST FAILED COMPLETLY. TAKES FOUR TIMES THE NORMAL DISTANCE TO STOP. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS A VALVE TAP THAT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP. THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF VALVE TAPPING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED IT LASTED ABOUT 15 TO 20 SECOND. IT WAS RETURN 2 OR 3 TIMES TO THE DEALER BEFORE THEY ADMITTED HEARING IT, THEN THE RESPONSE WAS IT WAS NORMAL. THERE HAS BEEN A VALVE TAP THAT HAS BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS REACHED OPERATIING TEMP. EVERY TIME IT WAS BROUGHT BACK IN FOR WARRANTY WORK THE VALVE TAP WAS MENTIONED. NO ONE CAN NEVER HEAR IT. AT 30K MILES THEY THINK THEY HEAR IT NOW AND THE FIX FOR A MECHANICAL LIFTER NOISE IS PROGRAMMING I AM BEING TOLD. MY CONCERN IS THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN 6K MILES AND THE MOTOR HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST DAY. WHAT IS A PERSON TO DO?*AK

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A 1999, SUBURBAN LT245/75R16 SIZE. THERE ARE DIMPLES ON ALL FOUR FIRESTONE STEELTEX TIRES THAT RUN FROM THE BEAD OF THE RIM TO WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. FIRESTONE HAS INSPECTED THE TIRES.*AK DOT# VN11. *SLC

THE VEHICAL WAS A "BUY BACK" THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT LISTED WAS VIBRATION IN FRONT. CHEVROLET CLAIMS THE ISSUE WAS FIXED OR NOT VARIFIED. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICAL IN FOR SERVICE THE SERVICE REPRESENTITIVE NOTICED UNEVEN WEAR AND RECOMMENDED AN ALLIGNMENT. HE NOTICED SEVERE CUPPING PSNGR SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. I HAVE NOTICED A SIGNIFIGANT PULL IN THE VEHICAL TO THE LEFT AGAINST THE SLOPE OF THE ROAD. I AM CONCERNED RE: THESE TIRES BECAUSE OF THE SIMILARITY IN MY EXPERIENCES AND MANY OF THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ON INTERNET. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED RE: YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THESE TIRES. I AM SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATING HAVING THEM REPLACED EVEN W/O RECALL AND WOULD SIMPLY HANG ONTO THEM IN CASE OF RECALL. FIRESTONE DEALER WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE OR EMPATHETIC RE: MY CONCERNS. I COULD NOT FIND DOT CODE BUT TIRE WERE MADE IN CANADA THE # THAT WAS ON THEM WAS 235 45 VR BM05327-1. *AK (DOT NUMBER:, TIRESIZE: 245-75-16)

THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED 8 TIMES AND EACH TIME WAS A PREMATURE WEARING AND MOST OF THE TIME COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID $100.OO DEDUCTIBLE I THINK 5 TIMES. ON 4/11/00 THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY COVERED ITEM AND SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. THEN ON 6/28/00 THE NEW REASON THEY GAVE ME FOR THE PREMATURE WEARING WAS THAT I NEEDED HEAVY DUTY BRAKES ON THE REAR. I PAID $401.00 FOR THAT AND THEY COVERED THE FRONT BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. I WAS ALSO TOLD NUMEREOUS TIMES IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. IT IS STILL A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND NOW THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A NEW REASON FOR THE PREMATURE WEARING OF THE BRAKES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THE BRAKES WILL GIVE OUT WHILE I AM GOING FAST. *AK

THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BRAKING SYSTEM FOUR TIMES IN 27,000 MILES AND THE FAILURE REOCCURS EVERY COUPLE MONTHS, SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT THEY LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON A WET ROAD AND THE VEHICLE SLID INTO ONCOMMING TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NLM

I DROVE ON IT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES WHEN AN APPROXIMATELY 6 INCH SQUARE PIECE OF THE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABOUT 106 DEGREES OUTSIDE. MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. IT DISINTEGRATED. I CROSSED TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A HALT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'M EVEN ALIVE. I HAD AAA CHANGE THE TIRE. A LOCAL TIRE PLACE REPLACED THE BLOWN TIRE WITH AN IDENTICAL ONE. AT THE TIME I ASKED IF MY TIRES WERE PART OF THE RECALL. THEY ASSURED ME THEY WERE NOT. NOW I HEAR YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THE EXACT TIRES I HAVE...THE EXACT ONE THAT DISINTEGRATED ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW IT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY TIRES END UP ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY CAR NOW-ESPECIALLY WITH MY THREE CHILDREN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
