“The air conditioner has stopped working and blow hot air. I've noticed there are several complaints regarding the air compressor and hoses on this vehicle but no recall has yet been made. We have to refill using refrigerant and it only lasts a few weeks and then blows hot air again. It doesn't matter it it's moving, stationary or where the vehicle is.”
NHTSA complaint #11396964, filed 2021-02, 62,000 miles“2016 Chevrolet Suburban has a serious vibration issue. The vehicle vibrates when it stays at a constant and even speed. Seems like when it goes into the 4 cylinder mode. This vibration causes headaches and vertigo when we are on long trips. I have had it in the Chevrolet dealer service department several times and is currently there now. I have read where this is a common issue with this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11181563, filed 2019-02, 12,000 miles“My 2016 Chevrolet Suburban started having problems with the drivers assistance at 63k miles. I have researched, it's seems the other people had the same problem. The seats stopped vibrating to alert driver. What I heard is that the cables are misplaced and when you move the seat they break. We are trusting this vibrate seats to help us, but they stop working on a road trip not good. Please check this out. Thanks”
