TIRE BECAME SEPARATED AND DAMAGED VEHICLE. MR

I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON THE WESTERN KY PARKWAY ON 10/13/2002 AT ABOUT 2200. ROADS CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND TEMPERATURE APPROX 55F. I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN VIBRATION, FOLLOWED BY THE SOUND OF A FLAT TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY SLOW EASE MY VEHICLE OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE (RIGHT SHOULDER). I DEFINITELY HAD A FLAT. UPON INSPECTION I WAS HORRIFIED. THE TIRE WAS SMOKING TO THE POINT I BARELY SEE IT. I COULD SMELL BURNING TIRE. I DID NOT SEE ANY FLAME AND THE SMOKE QUIT WITHIN ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS. THE SIDE WALL OF THIS TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT, NEARLY SEPARATED AND HANGING BY TIRE CORD. IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ANOTHER I SAW AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: HTTP://WWW.FIRESTONE-TIRE-RECALL.COM/PAGES/ACCIDENT_REPORTS/9-20_TIRE-BLOW.HTML. MY TIRE FAILURE IS EXACTLY THE SAME CUT OUT SHAPE, THE SAME CUT OUT SIZE AND AND SAME CUT OUT LOCATION AS THE ONE PICTURED, EXCEPT MINE IS HANGING BY TIRE CORD. I'M AMAZED THIS HAPPENED. MORE AMAZED IT'S BEEN HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 32 YEARS, I NEVER SEEN A TIRE FAILURE LIKE THIS. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE ARRIVED HOME WITH 2 FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BOYS. MR

CONSUMER STATES THAT TRAVELING ON THE ROAD AND WHEN TRYING TO TURN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL THE STEERING WHEEL WILL GET A REALLY BAD TENSION. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE SPEED TENSION CONTROL HAD PROBLEMS. MR

CONSUMER STATES TO DATE, NO SOLUTION TO THE REFERENCED PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND TO REMEDY THE UNSAFE AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY REQUIRED TO ONLY FIX THE BRAKE SYSTEM, DUE TO PREMATURE FAILURE, (THERE HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH BRAKES AND THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE EVERY SINCE THE PURCHASE) CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE MONIES SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD OF BEEN COVERED BY THE DEALER (JIM COOKS) DUE TO THERE LACK OF PROPER EQUIPMENT/WORK DONE IMPROPERLY. (THE SECOND ADDRESS FOR CONSUMER IS; 4 SANCTUARY DRIVE, BURNSVILLE, NC 28714, AND NO. (828)675-0033 (APRIL 15TH-SEPTEMBER 30TH)& THE ABOVE ADDRESS AND NO. IS FROM OCT 1ST - APRIL 15TH) *SCC

AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE DRIVING. DEALER CONTACTED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AKI

THIS TIRE HAS SEPARATED TREAD YET REMAINS FULLY AIRED. IT DAMAGED MY TRUCK AS THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. IN MY OPINION IT LOOKS LIKE A RETREAD. THEY HAVE OFFERED TO PRORATE THE TIRE 55% BUT MY WIFE AND I BOTH ARE NOW PARINOID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THESE TIRES AFTER SEEING WHAT FIRESTONES SEPERATED TIRES CAN DO.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

VERTICAL CRACKS RUNNING FROM TREAD DOWN SIDEWALL. *AK

WHEN BRAKING THERE IS PULSATION/ VIBRATION. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT FRONT BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT ANY SPEED BRAKE PEDAL SPRINGS BACK, RESISTS. DEALER FIRST REPLACED BRAKE LINES, THEN DETERMINED THAT PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE SENSOR ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL.*AK

VEHICLE HAS VARIATION OF SUDDEN ACCELRATION; WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, SPEED WOULD CONTINUE IF FOOT IS REMOVED FROM ACCELERATOR. CAN BE SITTING IN PARK, ONCE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE/REVERSE TRUCK WILL LUNGE WITH FORCE. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *AK

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKS UP WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE VEHICLE HAS ONGOING ABS PROBLEMS. THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS ON ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN SHUTS DOWN AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED 13 TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM AND VARIOUS SENSORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. THE FRONT PADS ONLY LAST ABOUT 8 MONTHS BEFORE THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE BECAUSE OF WARPING. THE VEHICLE PULLS SHARPLY TO ONE SIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE REAR AXLE SEALS, REAR TRANSMISSION SEAL, FUEL PUMP, AND AC COMPRESSOR ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS MY GREATEST CONCERN HOWEVER. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND NOW MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE LOCAL DEALER THAT SERVICED THE VEHICLE (BILLY NAVARRE CHEVROLET IN LAKE CHARLES LA) SAID THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE BATTERY, ELECTRIC SYSTEM, STARTER, ALTERNATOR,LIGHTS HAVE ALL BEEN A TECH. PROBLEM. WE LEASE THE CAR UNTIL LAST YEAR WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. WHEN THE CAR DIED THE FIRST 36 MTHS THE DEALER REPLACED THE SAME ITEMS THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AFTER 36K. WE HAVE PUT 3 BATTERIES FROM SEARS IN THE CAR ALREADY. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK OUT THE ALARM AND DID NOT TELL US. WE HAVE PAID AND TOWED THE CAR TO THE POINT WHEN EVEN THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER IS TELLING US HE IS SHORT OF TECH. STAFF. THE PROBLEM STARTS WITH THE LIGHTS (I.E. BLINKER DOES WORK OR HEADLIGHT DOES NOT TURN ON) WITHIN 30 DAYS THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY BUT CHARGES USE TO REPLACE THE CABLES TO THE BATTERY. I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTER, AND THEY SAY GET THE ALARM PUT BACK AND TRY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN. NO ONE HAS DIED DUE TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE. BUT, I HAVE 4 YOUNG CHILDREN, AND TO NOT HAVE THE CAR START IN PARKING LOTS OF MALLS AND DIE WHILE WE ARE DRIVING IS VERY UPSETTING.WE HAVE USED UP ALL MY TOWING ON AAA.

THIS TIRE WAS MAKING A NOISE AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON JULY 20, 2002. I WENT TO GET A FRONT END ALIGNMENT DUE TO THE PULLING, AND WAS TOLD MY ALIGNMENT WAS OKAY, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE, THAT THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING INSIDE. AS A RESULT I REPLACED ALL FOUR FIRESTONE TIRES WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. A FRIEND HAD A SLIGHTLY SMALLER FIRESTONE STEELTEX TIRE ACTUALLY SEPARATE THIS SUMMER WHILE ON A TRIP. I HAVE KEPT THE TIRE FROM MY SUBURBAN AND IT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.*AK

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH DUE TO RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCING A BLOWOUT. TWO MORE TIRES HAD TREAD SEPARATION AND LINER CRACKS. ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED. (TIRE SIZE P245/75R16). *YH BF GOODRICH IS NOT WILLING TO HELP CONSUMER DUE TO NOT HAVING THE TIRE FOR THEIR INSPECTION, CONSUMER STATES THAT PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY A BF GOODRICH DEALER WHO DESTROYED THE TIRE. *SLC

ENGINE STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMANTION.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THE ENGINE SPEED DOES NOT RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE WILL GO 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR ON ITS OWN, THE PROBLEM IS MORE PERSISTANT WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM/HOT, CONSUMER REPORTED THE PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WERE NO CODES STORED, FINALLY THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP DROVE THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD IDLE SOLENOID, THEY REPLACED IT AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR, THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURED AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT CONTINUES TO RUN ABOUT 1000 RPM FOR A TIME AFTER RELEASING FROM THE ACCELERATOR.*JB

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THREE SYSTEMS. AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES, A FRONT AND REAR BRAKE REPAIR WAS DONE WHICH COST OVER 600.00, CLAIMED TO BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT WARRANTY. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TAIL LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARDS TWICE. WE ARE ON OUR THIRD BATTERY. THE INITIAL BATTERY LEAKED ACID ON ITSELF AND OTHER CAR PARTS AND MY GARAGE FLOOR. THE SECOND BATTERY WOULD NOT STAY HOOKED UP TO THE WIRING HARNESS AND CAUSED NUMEROUS FAILURE TO START PROBLEMS(WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD). THE MOST DISTRESSING PROBLEM WAS THE RECENT REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 70,000 MILES. THE CAR JERKED BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS, MADE NOISES AND RATTLES. RED LIQUID WAS LEAKING ONTO MY GARAGE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CAPITOL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN AUSTIN. I REVIEWED MY PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM I THOUGHT I HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THEY DECIDED IT WAS AN ENGINE COOLANT SEAL PROBLEM AND PERFORMED A 600.00 REPAIR. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE ONE BLOCK AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WE WERE THEN TOLD OUR TRANSMISSION WAS "BURNED UP". I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A CAR WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER 70,000 MILES. THE CAR IS IN TOP CONDITION, STORED IN A GARAGE AND SERVICED AS REQUIRED. AFTER READING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR MODEL, IN PARTICULAR BATTERY ACID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE LINES AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I FELT I SHOULD REPORT MY PROBLEMS.

PASSENGER FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCING TREAD SEPARATION RESULTING IN A ROUGHT RIDE AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION, THE TIRES WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT,ALSO PROPERLY INFLATED AND HAD GOOD TREAD (FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL R4S N11 BIC). NLM

REAR AXLE HAS BEEN REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES DUE TO THE AXLE LEAKING FLUIDS. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

FRONT CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. WHEN DRIVING STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND FEEL LOOSE. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE DUE TO EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

APPARENTLY THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VECHICLE WHICH INVOLVES A FAILURE OF THE PATHLOCK SYSTEM. WHEN CAR IS STARTED SECURITY SYSTEM SHUTS THE VEHICLE DOWN BY CUTTING THE GAS SUPPLY OFF. APPARENTLY IT IS PART OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE KEY HAS TO BE LEFT IN THE IGNITION FOR 15 TO 30 MIN UNTIL THE SECURITY LIGHT GOES OFF AND THE VEHICLE CAN THEN BE STARTED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR MY WIFE AS SHE IS OFTEN LEFT STRANDED FOR 20 TO 30 MIN WITH 5 CHILDREN WAITING TO BE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE RIDES ROUGH AND PASSENGER'S FRONT TIRE TREAD IS SEPARATING DOWN THE CENTER. TIRES SEEM OUT OF BALANCE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO RUN ROUGH AND STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. TIRE SIZE LT245/75R16, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WITH 28,000 MILES ON A 1999, CHEVROLET, 2500, SUBURBAN. FIRESTONE WAS NOT CONTACTED. CONSUMER WILL HAVE THE OTHER 3 TIRES CHECKED OUT.*AK *YH

BRAKES PULL AND WEAROUT QUICKLY. AT 34,000 MILES I'M ON THE 4TH SET OF BRAKE PADS AND 2ND SET OF ROTORS. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS DUE TO THE TRUCK SWERVING WHILE STOPPING OR JUST NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AS FAST AS OTHER TRAFFIC. DEALER ADMITS IT'S A BAD DESIGN AND SUGGESTS I BUY A NEW TRUCK AS CHEVY HAS INCREASED THE SIZE OF THE FRONT ROTORS AND PUT ON GOOD REAR DISK BRAKES.*AK

WE PURCHASED THE VECHICLE USED FROM THE DEALER LISTED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS WHEN WHEELS ARE WET THEY SHUTTER AND LOCK UP. THE BATTERY CRACKED AND LEAKED ALL OVER THE BATTERY TRAY AND BRAKE LINES AND OTHER FRAME COMPONETS. THE REAR DOOR DOME LIGHT SWITCH SHORTED OUT. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN ALIGNED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE WHEELS PULLING TO THE LEFT. THE A/C AIR BARLY COMES OUT OF THE FRONT DASH VENTS. THE REAR END IS POSITIVE TRACTION AND WHEN MAKING A TURN IT MAKES A POPIING NOISE.

CONSTANT FUEL LEAK AND SMELL IN FOR REPAIR 4 TIMES NOTHING LEFT TO FIX STILL LEAKS. *AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THEY PULL OR LOCKS UP. CONTACTED DEALER.*AK

DO YOU WANT THE FAILED PARTS?NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

THE PLANETARY GEARS FAILED IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS WITH NO LOAD. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURES DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AS HAVING A VIOLENT HARD SHIFT AFTER KICKDOWN TO PASS ANOTHER VEHCILE. THE SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE DEALER WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS REMOVED THE INITIAL PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND THEN THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM 1ST TO 2ND WAS VERY HARD AND JERKY. THE DEALER WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT . TRICOUNTY TRANSMISSION SHOWED ME NUMEROUS PARTS FROM OTHER SUBURBANS AND TAHOES WHICH HAVE THE SAME ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER FAILURE. GM WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS AS THEY NEVER DO. THEY HAVE A LATENT DEFECT IN THE HARDINESS OF THE GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES TEETH FAILURE OF THE PLANETARY GEARS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN ATLANTA I-285 AND THE GEARS HAD FAILED IN TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THIS SAME PROBLEMS APPLIES TO ALL 1998 THRU 2002 TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE CHEVY SUBURBANS AND TAHOES. CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER. THANKS.*AK

ROTORS HEAT/CRACKED, REPLACED TWICE; PADS REPLACED 5 TIMES IN FIRST 35,000 MILES,PULLS RIGHT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. NLM

STEERING BECOME HARD WHENEVER MAKING A TURN. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT SPEED SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTED DOWN WHICH LED TO LOSS OF STEERING. ALSO, BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT VERY HARD. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

REVERSE GEAR DROPPED OUT OF DRIVETRAIN. FUEL PUMP FAILED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START PARKED VEHICLE. *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS BRAKE JOBS DONE AT FENTON MOTORS. WHEN USING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT.WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN OVER SEVEN TIMES TO FIX THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WILL WORK FOR AWHILE AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEMS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. FENTONS HAVE NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEMONED. I WOULD HATE FOR SOME NEW OWNER TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE TO KILL SOMEONE OR BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO 2ND GEAR. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND WENT TO GO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. IT WOULD PRCEED INTO THIRD GEAR AFTER THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO A HIGHER RPM. I CONTACTED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND A DEALERSHIP. THEY ALL SAID THAT I LOST THE 2ND/4TH GEAR INTEMEDIATE SHAFT WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE REVERSE GEAR ALSO. THIS IS ON A 700R4 TRANSMISSON. THEY ALL SAID GM KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT DO A RECALL ON THAT MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE EXTENIVE USE OF THAT TRANMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES . THEY SAID THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE FAULTY INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SOME VEHICLE OWNERS IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY THAT THEY HAD TO REVERSE QUICKLY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A LOCAL SHOP AT A VERY HIGH EXPENSE. I THOUGHT I WOULD SUBMIT THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT USED THIS TRANSMISSIONIN THAT YEAR AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS.*AK

WHEN WARMING VEHICLE DOORS WILL LOCK AUTOMATICALLY BY THEMSELVES. WHEN NISIDE OF VEHICLE DOORS WILL LOCK, AND ITS HARD TO GET THEM UNLOCKED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER REPAIRED LOCKS, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK

FROM THE BEGINING THE VEHICLE HAS PULLED OR GRABBED TO THE RIGHT. MANY TIMES CONSUMER WAS DENIED SERVICE AND NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OVER 63,000 MILES, CONSUMER IS BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. *JG

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ACTIVATING THE BRAKE SYSTEM VEHICLE WILL PULL TO LEFT OR RIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING BRAKE ROTORS/ STEERING BOX, AND BRAKE CALIPERS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION. *AK

ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR AXLE SEPARATED FROM THE SUBURBAN. THE WHEEL WAS DRUG 306 BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT FAILURE WAS IMMANENT. I PURCHASED THE NEW SUBURBAN FROM LES MARKS 8/30/99. THE SUBURBAN WAS SERVICED ONLY AT LES MARKS. ON 1/30/01 THE SUBURBAN WAS REPAIRED AT LES MARKS FOR A THUMPING NOISE IN THE REAR END. THE LES MARKS SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE CASE, SIDE GEARS AND FLUSHED THE HOUSING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IGNITION DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, CAUSING ENGINE TO LOSE POWER, RESULTING IN STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF.*AK

FUEL INJECTORS ARE DEFECTIVE, AND CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL AT RANDOM. THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX ONLY THING DEALER CAN DO IS CLEAN INJECTOR. VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE CAR JUST CLOG AND LOSE ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. PROBLEM IS NOT FIX AND CAR IS NOT SAFE. *AK

IN 3 YRS. -64,000 MI- REPLACED BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES. *AK

BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO BATTERY ACID LEAKING FROM BATTERY AND DRIPPING ON BRAKE LINE DIRECTLY BENEATH BATTERY, POOR DESIGN.
