Consumer Description

ENGINE DIED ON HIGHWAY LOST ALL POWER AND NO STEERING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS A BAD NEG BATTERY CABLE. IT IS SHOCKING THAT A BAD BATTERY CABLE CAN CAUSE A DEADLY SITUATION. CERTAINLY SOMEONE WILL DIE FROM THIS DEFECT IF THEY HAVENT ALREADY. DEALER CLAIMED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND IT HAPPENED ONLY A FEW MILES AFTER I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. ERROR CODE WAS P0601. THEY HAVE THE CAR FOR REPAIR AGAIN, BUT I REFUSE TO EVERY DRIVE THE DEATH TRAP. I HAVE HAD 20 SUBURBANS AND I HOPE THIS IS AN ISOLATED DEFECT NOT ONE THAT AFFECTS ALL SUBURBANS. THIS DEFECT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SOMEONE WILL CERTAINLY DIE FROM THIS DEFECT.
