1994 Chevrolet Suburban Electrical system Problems

“Vehicle was parked with the ignition off. After approximately 10 minutes, a fire started in the area of the battery preceded by thick white smoke. The fire spread to the plastic wheelwell guard and right front tire about two minutes after the smoke was noticed. The front of the vehicle, dashboard, windshield, and front floor pan area was destroyed by fire.”

“Dt: contact stated vehicle was parked in driveway the neighbor's dogs were barking, she looked out , and there were sparks coming out of vehicle. She woke up her husband. Heard a loud noise. Vehicle was on fire, it burned the whole motor, most of the inside, dashboard. No warnings prior to the fire. The fire chief said it could have been the electrical system.”

“Car shuts down when you least expect it sometimes on the freeway other times in an intersection 4 near collisions my wife refuses to drive the car dealers deny a problem independent mechanics have told me it is a defect in the ECM and prom unit”

“Problem: brake pedal goes to floor-no pressure, no braking. Near miss collisions. Master cylinder, ABS computer, have been replaced, brakes have been replaced as requried---this vehicle has a definate brake history problem. Apparently, based on internet articles I've researched I'm not alone. I'm extremely concerned for the safety of my wife and 3 small children. We're basically afraid to drive this vehicle.! When the brakes go down to the floorboard without any pressure, there's obviously something wrong with the brake system---------even the guy at the car wash was scared!”

“This car has been in the shop (pohanka Chevrolet in va) 25, yes, 25 times since 1994. I have now just had to replace the second computer system in 2 years. I will be glad to provide documentation of the number of visits to the dealer as well as the expensive costs I have incurred. Has there been significnat problems with this vehicle and what recalls (other than windshield motor and one other recall). My mechanic feels that chvroloet may be aware of the computer problems in this car becasue of its urgent requirement to send back the coil of the original.”
