“Since 2008 our suburban has required oil servicing on average every 2 months. We took it to many dealers and was told we needed to be able to track the consumption somehow. I stated, can't you check when the oil servicing light comes on and was told no. Don't know why it consumes so much oil and it's not leaking.”
NHTSA complaint #10436476, filed 2011-11, 42,000 miles“I am seeing an excessive oil consumption issue with my 2007 chevy suburban. From my measure it is consuming 4 1/2 qts of oil per 3000 miles. The dealer acknowledged that this is a known issue but didn't perform any repairs. I am instead performing an oil consumption test. That's fine but I now have a family vehicle that I cant trust for anticipation of engine failure/lock up or worse engine burn up or fire from a low oil condition.”
NHTSA complaint #10344658, filed 2010-07, 111 miles“Like to place a formal complaint regarding the oil consumption for 2007 chevy suburban and the horrible quality of vehicle. A few months after purchasing the vehicle the transmission gave out. I've been having problems with oil consumption and its horrible. I believe that chevy should stand behind their product and do a massive recalls for these vehicle. Again, chevy should stand behind their product. There are so many reviews about this same problem. Obvious there is a problem. Will never buy a chevy again nor will I recommend chevy vehicles!!”
NHTSA complaint #10567016, filed 2014-03, 10,000 miles“Vehicle has excessive oil consumption, using more than 1 quart of oil every 2k miles. I purchased the vehicle at a GM dealership with 67k miles on it. They told me it was just serviced, and the dipstick showed to be at the full line with clean oil. About 4k miles later the low engine oil light came on. The engine oil life indicator said it had 49% life left. I checked the oil level and found it was more than 2 quarts low. I have researched this and found that GM is either unable or unwilling to repair. I will contact the selling dealer for the record.”
NHTSA complaint #10379795, filed 2011-02, 71,000 miles“Engine started idling rough and the 'engine light' came on and stayed on.then the next day, went to start car and it was really idling rough, sputtering, then stablitrak light and 'traction control off' light and ABS lights all came on. The car felt like it was going to die until about 20 MPH, then made a jerking motion and ran fine. This continued to happen until I took it to the shop. They kept it for a week, replaced the fuel pump, but this did not fix the problem. The car still runs rough and the lights still come on whenever I have to idle, intersections, etc... …”
