Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2015 Suburban ltz has lost both front struts. Dealer wants almost $2,000 to repair. If this is as common of a problem as it seems, and I were a major auto maker, I would be embarrassed that an upgraded, high tech suspension system that I added to my $70,000 product was causing my consumers a very premature, very expensive repair. If this is an upgraded, luxury vehicle, I'll take the standard one. I should have stayed with auto maker that stands behind their product.”
NHTSA complaint #11130778, filed 2018-09, 80,000 miles“In october 2017 we experienced brief periods where brake pedal became rigid and impossible to depress. The vehicle was taken to our local Chevrolet dealer. We described in detail the rigid brake pedal. The dealer wanted to do put new brake pads and turn the rotors. I thought it was strange that a vehicle with just over 40 thousand miles would need new brakes, but we had the work done. The dealer also wanted to replace the vacuum hose which powers the brake system. This work was also done. …”
NHTSA complaint #11084934, filed 2018-04, 62,000 miles“The service suspension light cam on and the dealer stated I needed all new electromagnetic structs at a cost of 4k. I also know 2 other people who have the same year of vehicle that this has happened to.”
NHTSA complaint #11163754, filed 2018-12, 135,000 miles“When traveling at interstate highway speeds vehicle had shaking, shimmying, vibration and buffeting as well as loud hum and wind noise causing nausea resulting in nausea and dizziness to the driver. This was worse on new macadam and on grooved highway but occurred intermittently on other surfaces, I just purchased this vehicle used and it is certified. I was unaware that this is a common issue and understand now that there is no recall to fix this and that GM has not found a permanent solution to the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11101974, filed 2018-06, 50,000 miles“I have a 2015 Suburban ltz and the magnetic ride shocks and struts have failed completely. I have almost wrecked this vehicle numerous times due to the uncontrollable bouncing when you hit a bump. It is not an option at this point for me to pay $1500-$3000 for repairs when I already pay $700 a month for a payment. Online there are masses of complaints about this same matter! I spoke with the Chevrolet dealer in jasper, alabama today and I was told that they have had to replace multiple ones in the past few months. …”
