THIS OCCURS ONLY DURING HOT WEATHER, AND ONLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SUBURBAN DIES ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPS ARE 90 DEGREES OR HIGHER. AFTER WAITING 10-15 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL START AND THE TRIP CONTINUED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SHOPS AND THERE IS NO COMPUTER CODE TRIGGERED. I'VE REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER (INLINE) AND THIS DOESN'T HELP. (I DON'T HAVE THE OLD FILTER). THE SUBURBAN ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON IT AND PASSES SMOG AND RUNS FINE OTHERWISE. THIS IS A HAZARD AS THEIR OFTEN IS NO EASY EXIT FROM THE TRAFFIC FOR A DEAD SUV WITH TRAFFIC TRYING TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF A CAR STOPPING OR ABRUPTLY SLOWING ON THE FREEWAY. SOMETIMES THE FREEWAYS ARE 6 OR MORE LANES WIDE IN EACH DIRECTION SO GETTING TO THE SHOULDER IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
