Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had problems since day one on this Suburban. Most recently the two above. I checked the warranty work that was done on my Suburban and it was over a page of claims. I just cannot remember the dates the items I checked occured. The fuel pump problem was long in the coming, they just didn't know what the problem was. I spent outside of warranty hundreds of dollars on the fuel system. This left us stranded 3 times! This last time cost me $765. Today, the ABS sytem died. They say it's going to cost me close to a $1000 to repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #10071085, filed 2004-01, 62,591 miles“On four different dates, my fuses for in instr. Panel blew out. The first time I had to be towed to a dealer in ga. They said I got bad fuel, and that it was not under the 3yr/36,000. That I had to pay for the repair. I since found out they took me for a ride. This was back in 2001. This year I have had my fuses blow 3 times with in a week. I have notice that every time they blow is when I'm blow a 1/4 tank of gas. I changed the fuse on may 26 th of 2003 and may 31 th of 2003 and june 2 2003. I think there is a big problem with this. I was driving 2 of the four times. I could have had a wreck.”
