Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS SUBURBAN USED IN 2010 WITH ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM THE 2ND OWNER. FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, IT HAS BURNED OIL. THE ADD OIL LIGHT COMES ON HALF WAY THROUGH A OIL CHANGE. IT'S MY 3RD SUBURBAN. NEITHER OF THOSE TWO HAD EVER BURNED OIL. IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, SO I TOOK IT TO COURTESY CHEVROLET IN PHOENIX. THEY PUT IT ON A OIL WATCH. I HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN EVERY THOUSAND MILES SO THEY COULD CHECK THE BURN RATE. THEY ALWAYS SAID IT WAS NORMAL PER CHEVY BURN RATES. REALLY? CHECK THE INTERNET FOR 2007 CHEVROLET ENGINE OIL, HIGH BURN RATES AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ENGINE THAT BURNS OIL. IT SOUNDS LIKE CHEVROLET KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH INTEGRITY, THEY CHANGED THEIR BURN RATES SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO. I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN CHEVROLET. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT.
