Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“January 2001 my paint started falling off in large pieces, Chevrolet was notified april 2001. The response was its wear and tear or acid rain, I have seen many other white suburbans losing their paint the same way. I have notified GM on their customer online center and recieved a cookie cutter response that it is not a manufacturer defect, I notified GM in 2001 and 2004 and recieved the exact same email word for word. …”

“My white 1995 Suburban, which I am the orgional owner, paint is flaking off of the vehicle. I have seen other white cheverlot and GM vehicles doing the same thing on the similar parts of the car. I would like to know if their are any recalls concerning this matter.”

NHTSA complaint #10100272, filed 2004-11

“Drivers interoir door handle broke not allowing the door to open, had to roll down window and open door from ext handle. Checked pass door handle and found cracked 90% of the way through in same location. I showed the service department and they were suprised but would not discount parts. I purchased new parts and installed them myself at a cost of $22.50 ea. I also contacted GM and they were of no help. I feel this is a safety issue if there was a accident and a loss of power I would not be able to get out of the vihicle.”

NHTSA complaint #701333, filed 1998-12

“Rear cargo window on passenger side (not back door glass) leaks water into the bulkhead area. As water builds up it eventually splases over into the cargo area inside the vehicle thereby flooding the carpet, etc. This occurs whenever there is rain of any substantial amount and is ongoing contiuously. Several area Suburban owners are experiencing this problem ands no one seems to have a solution.”

NHTSA complaint #10008063, filed 2003-02

“Ongoing problem with door; whenever automatic switch is used it causes door not to close properly. Also, ABS failed to operate. Vehicle was taken on three occasions to dealer shop, and consumer was informed that nothing could be found. In addition, door would not open from the inside, consumer would have to open door from the outside to let herself out of the vehicle.”
