“Pressure in cabin felt strongly in ears at speeds below 40 MPH (city). We have had this problem first on a 2015 Suburban, then a 2017 Suburban purchased by our office last december, and now on the second Suburban purchased march 2017. While driving in city, particularly over slightly bumpy roads, cabin pressure is very strong and painful to the ears.”

“Backup camera has been foggy since new. They told me that's the way it is...foggy and fuzzy. Now it has gotten noticeably worse in the last month. 2 different people at the dealership service dept. Have told me they will not fix it till it breaks. It is especially bad in the dark..I cannot even see a black cat unless it has some white on it ! I have a picture here but the camera screen actually looks better in the photo than it does in person. Looks like you are looking thru fog. You can see in the photo the $220. Garmin dash camera looks was better that the rear.”

“When I bought the Suburban it was daylight...everything checked out fine. Then the next morning I went to back out of my driveway in the dark and almost hit a car. The backup camera screen is so bright you cannot see anything except very bright light in your eyes. That first few mornings I thought well I'll read thru the manual about how to adjust the brightness. I have now looked thru the book several times and we have established ...there is no adjustment offered.. This is a definite hazard and now I see from a search on the internet..we are not the only ones with this problem. …”

“Bottom line injectors! Have had this car for less than a year and replaced AC condenser, back up camera, whole fuel system dropped out bc of codes, full tune up, wires, plugs xs 2, still had misfires, rough idle codes finally after 2000$ fix and out of warranty fixed the problem! Might look nice but will never buy again!”

NHTSA complaint #11243105, filed 2019-08, 65,000 miles

“Air conditioner failure. Leak causing all refrigerant to leak out. Apparently, this is a common problem for this model and year. Car has 49k miles and is out of warranty on miles even though it is less than 3 years old. Just leaked out rapidly. Blowing hot air. Not really driveable with 3 children.”
