NHTSA complaint #10306602, filed 2010-02, 10,458 miles“My wife was driving this morning and suddenly the engine stopped working and the steering wheel locked. Thank god she was driving in slow speed and could stop the vehicle and avoided a crash. It happened right before she had to turn left but the steering wheel locked and she went straight. She was scared a lot and what if this happened on the highway. Yesterday we have serviced the vehicle at the dealership. There was some recall and they updated the ecu on the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10198470, filed 2007-08, 51,000 miles“In august last year I purchased a 2007 Chevrolet suburban. At 2000 miles the car is 1st totally draining the battery ( I was in camping in the middle of the forest- they found me after 3 hrs- sheriff dept). Since then every month same and the dealer can not find the problem. They changed 3 batteries. Today 2/21/2007 is the 7th time. I pay $825/mth + rent a car every month -- they do not pay for rent a car because they start blame each other. Gmc is blaming the dealer and the dealer gmc. I'm in the middle and I don't have a car. I need your help thank you.”
