There are 2 components of the vehicle that I believe are malfunctioning. The first component would be the brake system. At first the problem presented itself when going down a parking garage it was approximately 5 miles an hour while applying the brake and the brake suddenly got stuck and really sticky, I had to apply extreme pressure to the brake to get the vehicle to stop completely. It was only after I put the vehicle in park, turned it off, removed the keys from the ignition, open the doors, and then restarted the car afterwards where the brakes would become unstuck. Since that first incident in summer of 2024, there has been other similar incidents when I am breaking in a parking lot at lower speeds, on side streets at lower speeds, or any other circumstance where I would be applying the brake at lower speeds. The brakes would...

I replaced the shocks in Oct 2022 and paid for an alignment and now just over 2 years later the dealer said they needed replacing again. This front end has had constant problems, but now I see there was a recall on the 2016 Suburbans, but it is not listed under my VIN. I believe if they have had problems, possibly at another manufacturing, it should be considered that this is the problem. I have now paid for the repair of the upper control arm and both front shocks and a wheel alignment again. I paid more than double to have it repaired at the dealer because I believe my vehicle's VIN should be listed under NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 16V256000; REPORT DATE: APR 28, 2016.

Replace right lower ball joint Alignment Replace right front steering knuckle Replace right front wheel, monitor and stem, reprogram Replace broken front spoiler Replace RF fender liner With the low speed of travel , about 8mph there were no safety issues. Vehicle and broken steering knuckle has been inspected by Service Agent and Manager at Fred Bean Chevy, Doylestown, PM. Their position is normal wear, "We must have had impact at some time to cause initial fracture". Extended Warranty agrees with view stated from Fred Bean. Our insurance company is sending an agent to inspect. No warning lamps, messages, etc presented in driver display.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2016 CHEVY SUBURBAN STARTED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS AT 30000 MILES, AT FIRST I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK STARTED TO JUMP WHEN I SWITCHED GEARS, IT LAGGED ON ACCELERATING, THERE WAS A HUMMING NOISE AND GEARS SLIPPED. CURRENTLY AT 80000 MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE. I TOOK IT FOR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS AND I KEPT TELLING DEALER THAT THE TRUCK SEEMED OFF AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING.

MY ISSUE SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NO. 11254723. I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED AFTER IT WAS FOUND THAT THEY WERE BLOWN DURING AN INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES, WHICH IS MUCH SHORTER THAN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF STRUTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (05-03-08-002H) HAS BEEN PUBLISHED. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL?
#11254723 |
MY VEHICLE FAILED PA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO LEAKING FRONT STRUTS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 56K MILES ON IT.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND ALREADY RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE SOFTWARE AIRBAG ISSUE. I TRADED MY 2010 CHEVY SUBURBAN FOR THIS NEW ONE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THE MOMENT I GET ONTO THE FREEWAY AND START TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE SO BAD THAT ANYTHING IN THE MIDDLE CONSOLE STARTS TO RATTLE AND THE CONSOLE WILL SPILL ANY DRINKS SITTING THERE IN THE CUPHOLDERS. I HAVE OWNED CHEVY VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE AND AM VERY ANNOYED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG. I ALSO JUST NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SUSPENSION RECALL 42190 AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN SEPT 2016 AND IT ONLY HAS 800 MILES ON IT AND NOTICES WENT OUT MAY-JUNE 2016 AND I WAS NOT MADE AWARE WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WILL ALSO TALK...

I OWN A 2016 CHEVY SUBURBAN LTZ PURCHASED FEB 29, 2016. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND FOR A SECOND TIME DEALING WITH A VIBRATION ISSUE STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 43 MPH AND CONTINUING TO WORSEN AS SPEED INCREASES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROAD FORCED BALANCE BUT VIBRATION IS STILL PRESENT. THIS IS THE SECOND SUBURBAN WITH ISSUES, THE 2015 I HAD WAS SO PROBLEMATIC THAT GM DID TRADE ASSISTANCE TO GET ME OUT OF IT, BUT IT STILL COST ME MONEY. THE CURRENT 2016 SUBURBAN AS ONLY 1600 MILES ON IT AND VIBRATION ISSUES BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 900 MILES. I CANNOT DESCRIBE THE INCONVENIENCE AND FRUSTRATION I AM EXPERIENCING FOR A VEHICLE COSTING MORE THAN $70,000. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEIR LACK OF FIXING IT OR ADDRESSING IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF CRIMINAL THEFT. THEY TAKE PEOPLE'S MONEY KNOWING THEIR VEHICLES ARE SUB-STANDARD THEN RELEGATE ME...
