Purchased my 2016 suburban on 1/14/23 and since it has been “service trailer brake” distracting me from driving . The service chime stops me from listening to music , my turn signals , constantly making me look down . I drove around in total for 4 hours throughout my day and non stop. I’ve contacted the dealership and told me to wait till the end of the week.

Transmission went out with less than 90,000 miles. I am the original owner, kept up with the maintenance services and never towed anything. I spent $3,800 to rebuild the transmission. This has been a common problem but no recall from Chevrolet.

THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS STOPPED WORKING AND BLOW HOT AIR. I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND HOSES ON THIS VEHICLE BUT NO RECALL HAS YET BEEN MADE. WE HAVE TO REFILL USING REFRIGERANT AND IT ONLY LASTS A FEW WEEKS AND THEN BLOWS HOT AIR AGAIN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IT IT'S MOVING, STATIONARY OR WHERE THE VEHICLE IS.

Mileage: 62,000

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM CANNOT CONNECT TO GPS AND THE COMPASS IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME ON A RURAL ROAD WHILE RAINING.

I GOOGLED "AIR NOT WORKING 2016 SUBURBAN" EARLIER ON IN THE WEEK. I FOUND A VIDEO SAYING CHEVY HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR COMPRESSORS GOING BAD. WAS HOPING THAT WASN'T THE CASE WITH MINE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY AND HE SAID THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT BAD AND LEAKED. $1025 TO REPAIR. I TOLD HIM MY FINDINGS FROM EARLIER ON IN THE WEEK AND MENTIONED THE VIDEO. HE (MY MECHANIC MARK) STATED HE HAS REPLACED MANY BEFORE. I ASKED SINCE HE HAS REPLACED MANY BEFORE IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE. MARK STATED NOT TO HIS KNOWLEDGE. HERE I SIT GOOGLING "2016 SUBURBAN AIR COMPRESSOR" AND I FIND THIS SITE AND ANOTHER SITE IN REFERENCE TO A LAW SUIT A GENTLEMAN FILED. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, WHICH IT SEEMS TO BE, CHEVROLET NEEDS TO STEP UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY AFTER READING A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REASON THE AIR COMPRESSORS AREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, LEAKING, AND JUST BREAKING IS DUE TO TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR AIR LINES. *TR

A/C REFRIGERANT LEAK IN THE COMPRESSOR ON A CAR JUST 3 YEARS OLD. COMPRESSOR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT AS SUBSTANTIAL COST. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC FOR THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ISSUE, GM JUST DOUBLED THE SUPPLY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO CUSTOMERS AND PROFIT FOR DEALERS AND SUPPLIERS.

AC COMPRESSOR HAS A LEAK. TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECKED AND FOUND OUT MORE CHEVY OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A LEAK IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. THERE IS ALSO A BACKORDER OF NEW AIR COMPRESSORS.

MY 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS ASSISTANCE AT 63K MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT'S SEEMS THE OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SEATS STOPPED VIBRATING TO ALERT DRIVER. WHAT I HEARD IS THAT THE CABLES ARE MISPLACED AND WHEN YOU MOVE THE SEAT THEY BREAK. WE ARE TRUSTING THIS VIBRATE SEATS TO HELP US, BUT THEY STOP WORKING ON A ROAD TRIP NOT GOOD. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. THANKS

2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION ISSUE. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN IT STAYS AT A CONSTANT AND EVEN SPEED. SEEMS LIKE WHEN IT GOES INTO THE 4 CYLINDER MODE. THIS VIBRATION CAUSES HEADACHES AND VERTIGO WHEN WE ARE ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY THERE NOW. I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP

POWER RUNNING BOARDS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO OPEN/CLOSE AS DESIGNED. THE BOARDS ON EITHER VEHICLE SIDE MAY PARTIALLY/FULLY OPEN AND OR CLOSE. THIS IS A TRIPPING/FALLING ISSUE AND SEVERAL PROFESSIONAL REPAIRS TO CORRECT HAVE RESULTED IN NO CORRECTIONS TO DEFECT.

ATTACHED ARE IMAGES FROM THE IN-VEHICLE SCREEN OF OUR REAR-VIEW CAMERA AT NIGHT. WE ARE UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING (ROW OF CARS, ROADS, DRIVEWAY, TRAFFIC, ETC) DUE TO THE LARGE RED BLURRY AREA. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS SO THE REAR-VIEW CAMERA IS ESSENTIAL BUT THE CAMERA IS INEFFECTIVE ANYWHERE..THE CAMERA WAS CHECKED BY OUR DEALER AND FOUND TO BE "WORKING." IT WAS A DAYTIME APPOINTMENT DURING WHICH THE CAMERA IS CLEAR.. WE CONTACTED CHEVY DIRECTLY; THEIR FINAL EMAIL STATED "PER OUR DISTRICT MANAGER OF AFTERSALES, THE GLARE IS FROM THE LIGHTS/ BRAKE LIGHTS. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED". SURELY A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED TO OBLITERATE NIGHT VISION DRIVING. AT NIGHT THE CAMERA IS USELESS AND POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ONE IMAGE IS OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH WE CANNOT SEE UNLESS WE LOWER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW TO FOLLOW THE EDGE. THE OTHER IMAGE IS FROM OUR DRIVEWAY ONTO OUR ROAD.THE IMAGE IS THE SAME ON ANY ROAD OR LOT. CHEVROLET SEEMS CONTENT TO LEAVE THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION AS IS AND REFUSES TO FIX OR REPLACE THE CAMERA. SURELY SOME TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE HOPING HAT YOU CAN ACT UPON THIS.WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE STRONGLY ENOUGH HOW DIFFICULT NIGHT DRIVING IS WITH THE CAMERA AS IS. WE CAN FURNISH MORE IMAGES (PARKING LOTS, ETC) BUT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. RAIN MAKES IT WORSE. DEPTH PERCEPTION IS NON-EXISTENT. WE ARE WILLING TO HAVE ANYONE LOOK AT OUR VEHICLE IF THAT HELPS. THE DRIVEWAY PHOTO WAS TAKEN 2/28/2018 AT 7:33 PM THE SECOND IMAGE WAS AT 7:44 PM AT THE DATE NOTED. THANK YOU.

SINCE PURCHASE, OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE DID THAT 2 MORE TIMES AFTER BEING TOWED IN. IT HAS HAD NEW MOTOR MOUNTS, NEW ROTARS, AND HAS BEEN IN A GM SERVICE CENTER 16 TIMES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE DIED ON A HIGHWAY WITH 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED WORK HISTORY FOR THE VEHICLE

MY SUBURBAN IS LESS THAN 10 MONTHS OLD AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE THE GLASS BUBBLED UPWARD AND BLEW OUT. GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET REFUSES TO REPAIR THE SUNROOF STATING THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. AGAIN, MY VEHICLE IS 10 MONTHS OLD, AND HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT. I DID NOT WANT A SUNROOF DUE TO THE NATIONWIDE ISSUES OF THE GLASS EXPLODING WHILE DRIVING, OR EVEN WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY; HOWEVER, GM/CHEVROLET FORCES THE SUNROOF UPON YOU WITH THE NAVIGATION AND DVD PLAYER PACKAGE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND I, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. UPON THE EXPLOSION, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND STARTLED ALL PASSENGERS AND CAUSED A DISTRACTION WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL. GM/CHEVROLET STATED THAT I NEED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY AUTO INSURANCE. I DON'T SEE HOW A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS MY FAULT. WITH NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS, YOU WOULD THINK THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PRODUCING DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE PRODUCTS. IN MY OPINION, SUNROOFS NEED TO BE BANNED FROM MANUFACTURING DUE MAINLY TO THE HIGH RISKS THEY IMPOSE ON MOTORISTS AND THEIR PASSENGERS. USE TO, THE ONLY ISSUE WITH SUNROOFS WAS THE INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR LEAKING. NOW, WITHIN THE PAST 6 YEARS, WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING PUT AT RISK FOR SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSIONS, AT NOT FAULT OF THE DRIVER. I WANT GENERAL MOTORS HELD ACCOUNTABLE! HAD MY CHILDREN AND I BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE THEN? EVEN IF THE MANUFACTURER REPAIRS MY SUNROOF, MY FAMILY AND I ARE STILL AT AN INCREASED RISK FOR SHARDS OF GLASS TO SPONTANEOUSLY START FALLING ON US AND FLYING INTO OUR FACE AND EYES. FORTUNATELY, ON THIS OCCASION, MARCH 5, 2017, I HAD THE SUNSHADE CLOSED, WHICH PREVENTED SERIOUS HARM.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. IN SNOW, AIR FLOW TO THE SENSOR IS APPARENTLY BLOCKED AND THE TEMPERATURE READS 33, THE TEMPERATURE OF SNOW RATHER THAN OUTSIDE TEMP. . I WAS GOING FAR TOO FAST LAST WEEKEND SINCE IT TURNS OUT THE TEMPERATURE WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-20'S AND I COULD HAVE HAD A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT. I WAS OUT OF SNOWING CONDITIONS AND THOUGHT THE ROADS WERE JUST WET. THE ERROR WILL PERSIST SO LONG AS THERE IS SNOW ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE CASE: OUR PREVIOUS 2001 SUBURBAN GAVE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS, THUS CATCHING ME OFF-GUARD. . THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY CAN BE EASILY FIXED.

WHEN DRIVING MY NEW 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, I AM EXPERIENCING A DRONING SOUND LIKE A WINDOW BEING DOWN. SOME REFER TO IT AS BOOMING/ TUNNELING NOISE. MINE STARTS AT AROUND 45 MPH. *TR

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 TO THE DEALERSHIP ACCORDING TO THIS RECALL THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL ITS FIXED. WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THIS HAD I NOT LOOKED IT UP AND NOT DRIVING IT IS IMPOSSIBLE ITS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND WERE A FAMILY OF 7. FOUR OF THOSE ARE MY BABIES. I ALSO WILL BE TAKING IT IN DUE TO THE RECALL 16007. THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED AS WELL.

I OWN A2016 SUBURBAN AND ITS SEEM TO HAVE A VIBRATION WHEN I'M DOING 35 TO 45 MILES ,TOOK SUBURBAN TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NEED IT BALANCE ON TIRES, I PAY 19.99 FOR THE BALANCE AND THE PROBLEM STILL THERE.ITS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVE.?

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 TO A PATHETIC LOANER VEHICLE, TELL ME IT IS "NORMAL" AND IN THE END TOSS A LITTLE MONEY FOR "TRADE ASSISTANCE" RESULTING IN ANOTHER PROBLEMATIC ISSUE. I BEG AND IMPLORE YOU AS THE FEDERAL REGULATORY AGENCY TO MAKE GM ACCOUNTABLE IMMEDIATELY. EITHER FORCE THEM TO IMMEDIATELY FIX THESE VEHICLES, FORCE THEM TO BUY THEM BACK AT FULL PURCHASE PRICES AND STOP THEM FROM SELLING THEM IMMEDIATELY. FRANKLY, THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS VW WITH TDI ENGINES EXCEPT THAT GM IS NOT COVERING IT UP AND FEDS ARE NOT FORCING THE HAND. HELP PROTECT THE MONEY AND LIVES OF US CITIZENS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS!

WHEN DRIVING MY NEW 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, I AM EXPERIENCING A BOOMING/ TUNNELING NOISE BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 45 MPH AND 60 MPH AND EXPERIENCING PRESSURE IN MY EARS FROM SOME SORT OF PRESSURE CREATED IN THE VEHICLES CABIN. THE PRESSURE IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. DEALER DOES CAN NOT GET DIRECTION FROM GM ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
