“I purchased a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Suburban lt on december 20, 2014 and by december 23, 2014, there was a major water leak about the driver visor and headliner and equipment failures. I noticed that the GPS, compass, onstar and mylink were no longer working. As of december 31, 2014, I still do not have my Suburban back and I have been told that part is not available in the us.”
NHTSA complaint #10669340, filed 2014-12, 282 miles“A/c no cold air. I went to dealership and they tested and said there's huge hole. Apparently they only said small leak. They replaced with new condenser. I was forced to pay nearly 1,400. Also resurface front disc brake. This is brand new vehicle and over 20 vehicles I know have same issues. There should be recall on this vehicle. I went to dealer and they said deal with GM. I went to GM they won't resolve my issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10888039, filed 2016-07, 45,000 miles“For the 3rd time my wife while driving her car had these issues! Service power steering where it makes it hard to turn. Brake and ABS lights come on making the brake pedal go to the floor barely stoping the Suburban, service stabilitrac and service trailer brake! This is the second time it's at the dealer the first time it went away so quickly we thought it was a fluke but it definitely scared my wife to death! By the time we get it to the dealer it clears it's self and they can't find anything wrong! …”
NHTSA complaint #10956473, filed 2017-02, 50,000 miles“I continue to have reoccurring problems with my 2015 chevy Suburban. The problems consist of electronics resetting/flashing or turning off and staying off, specifically, media system, window control. Many times this occurs at a similar time to the stabilitrack warning system coming on and losing power steering and complete loss of power to the vehicle. Sometimes after the loss of power the vehicle will not crank without being jumped off. The vehicle was brought in for service at captiol Chevrolet in montgomery for these issues on 8/27/19-8/30/19. …”
NHTSA complaint #11256804, filed 2019-09, 93,650 miles“Onstar GPS failed to locate my vehicle when reporting an accident I was involved in 5/4/2018. The GPS antenna is the failing component. This has been identified in GM service bulletin 15155. Under this bulletin owners where supposed to be notified of the issue, I was not. Gm will not honor the repair because the bulletin expired. If this accident was major and I had not been able to relay my location emergency services would not have been able to render care. The failure of this safety product and monitoring service should be corrected by GM.”
