WE BOUGHT A 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN , BRAND NEW. SINCE WE OWNED IT, THE AIR CONDITIONER MOTOR FAILED THE FIRST MONTH, FRONT LEFT SHOCK POPS WHEN TURNING, DRIVER'S SEAT WARMER DOESN'T WORK (POSSIBLE FAULTY SWITCH), THE 5.3 LITER ENGINE KNOCKS AND PINGS LIKE CRAZY EVEN WHEN USING 93 OCTANE FUEL ON A STEADY BASIS. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS FOUND TO HAVE CRACKED SEAT RAILS BUT DEALER HAD NO REPLACEMENT RAILS, HAVE TO ORDER THEM. GAS GAUGE DOESN'T READ RIGHT (WHEN ON THE RED LINE IT STILL HAS 6 GALLONS IN THE TANK OR 20% FUEL LEFT) THE THING IS A PIECE OF CRAP! GM DIDN'T GIVE A DARN EITHER. IF YOU CALL TO COMPLAIN YOU GET THE RUN AROUND. THIS IS THEIR TOP OF THE LINE PASSENGER TRUCK (SUBURBAN LT) AND DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE PROUD OF. I DEFINITELY WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER, MY PARENTS JUST BOUGHT...

VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER COASTING TO THE SHOULDER AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE TRUCK RESTARTS. THE TRUCK ALSO SPUTTERS DURING ACCELERATION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS REPLACED FOUR WARPED ROTORS THAT CAUSED THE BRAKES TO BE SPONGY. TWO OF THE POWER WINDOW MOTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO INOPERATIVE WINDOWS. THE OIL LEVEL IN THE TRUCK DROPS BETWEEN (FREQUENT) VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT FIRST ILLUMINATED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 3900 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND A LEAK.*AK
