Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2007 Suburban that consumes approx 1 qt of oil every 800 miles. At 1200 miles/qt the dealer told me this was normal consumption . I went to another dealer that confirmed the 800 miles/qt and is installing new pistons and rings next week. Apparently this is not a fix but should help with consumption until a permanent fix is made by GM.”
NHTSA complaint #10350132, filed 2010-08, 32,000 miles“I purchased my Suburban with existing GM warranty. The vehicle had roughly 47,000 miles on it and 7 months remaining of the original factory warranty. After about 900 miles the low oil light came on, which I thought was odd because I checked the oil life gauge after purchase and it said it was at 99% oil life. This worried me. It was one quart low so I added it and decided to see what happens. A month later at about 1000 miles the same thing happened. I added another quart and then went to the dealer closest to my home to report the issue. They started monitoring. …”
NHTSA complaint #10457463, filed 2012-05, 47,500 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated. The contact was informed that there was a leak and the evaporation vent and filter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle began burning oil and the contact had to refill the oil every ten days. The contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000 and the current mileage was approximately 106,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10365089, filed 2010-11, 80,000 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the vehicle would consume up to three quarts of oil every three thousand miles. The contact stated the vehicle has not suffered any damages due to the excessive oil consumption. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to diagnose the oil problem where the dealer advised that they would replace the pistons and piston rings. The contact stated that the repair possibly would not remedy the issue of the oil consumption. The failure mileage was 63,000. The VIN was not available.”
