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. …”
