“We have multiple problems with our new Suburban. After traveling slowly or coasting in traffic, when I try to accelerate the vehicle won't go and when it finally decides to go it shudders and vibrates badly, it also does this from a complete stop, been to the dealer 2 times so far this and the last time they told me it is a normal characteristic of vehicle . It is a very bad one and it will cause a wreck! The radio display flickers all the time even when back up camara is on, GM has no fix for this yet either! …”

NHTSA complaint #10778047, filed 2015-09, 2,052 miles

“While making turns at various speeds, the seat began to wiggle and vibrate. Found that the driver's seat bracket was broken. Replaced under warranty and within a few months, the passenger seat frame was broken as well. Within another few months, the driver's seat frame was broken once again and was replaced today. Gm needs to figure out the issue as we are tired of having work done on a brand new vehicle that is very expensive. We have also had the issue with the water coming through the roof at the seat belt locations.”

NHTSA complaint #10743393, filed 2015-07, 3,500 miles

“When driving over a pothole or small bump, the suspension seems to let go and the car jumps very abnormally. We only had 30k miles and I believe this is a suspension problem. The shocks make a lot of noise when we go towards a pothole. We went to the dealership to complain about the shocks and they said there was no problem with the shocks. Soon after, I had to change the front left shock because the service department said it was leaking. They did not notice this in the beginning and suddenly made me pay $650 to change the front left shock. …”

“This occurred at 331 miles, parked, I entered vehicle I started to sit at the right front left passenger seat next to driver seat and I easily bumped into the right corner of the seat between my legs I didn't fell anything at the time and the next day I felt there was heavy tuber bruising on my left leg seeked for help at the emergency room because had difficulty to sit on any chair the doctor described my condition as I have bumped into something and kept talking about it the hole time the actuall report is not completed by the secretary that works for the doctor NHTSA should investigate…”

NHTSA complaint #10845841, filed 2016-03, 331 miles

“I have just over 84000 miles on my Suburban. I have had to replace the A/C condenser due to failure in a weld and now have to replace all four struts as they have now failed. I also have part of the heated seats not working as well as sensors that need to be updated all the time. I find it ridiculous that Chevrolet will not stand behind its product, especially when so many people are having issues with the same parts of the vehicle.”
