THIRD INCIDENT FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING IN (D) THE TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL REV UP (3RD & 2ND GEAR) SEEM TO WORK STILL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 25 TO 55 MILE PER HOUR. ONLY ONE TIME HAS IT BEEN CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE DEALER HAS MADE INSPECTIONS OF THE TRANSMISSION ONCE, THE SECOND TIME THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER KEEPING THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 5 DAYS. THE SUGGESTION FROM THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER WAS TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN EITHER 3RD OR 2ND GEAR DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LEAVING IT IN 3RD OR 2ND GEAR APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE SO THAT THE MANAGER AND A MECHANIC CAN GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND TEST WHAT'S WRONG. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT WAS AROUND 8:30 P.M. AND WE WERE UNABLE TO TAKE IT IN TO BE EXAMINED. THIS PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE MAKING A TURN OR AT ANYTIME WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *CN

IN OCT. 2007 I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FROM GORDON CHEVROLET IN TAMPA FLORIDA, IT HAD 20 MILES ON IT. ON DECEMBER 9TH 2008 WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:45 AM, IT EXPLODED AND WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I RECEIVED 2ND AND 3RD DEGREE BURNS AND WAITED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR CLOSE TO 30 MINUTES FOR HELP TO ARRIVE. THE SUBURBAN HAD ABSOLUTELY NO AFTERMARKET CHANGES OR ANY TYPE OF MODIFICATIONS DONE TO IT. ALL OF ITS SERVICING AND REPAIR WORK WAS DONE AT COX CHEVROLET IN BRADENTON FLORIDA, A GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 35,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOW JUST A BURNT OUT SHELL. DURING THE 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS I OWNED IT, I HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT AND TOOK IT TO THE SERVICING DEALERSHIP FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS. MY ATTORNEY AND MY INSURANCE AGENT THINK IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OR A DEFECT IN THE REPAIR. AN OFFICIAL CAUSE HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED AND BECAUSE OF GM'S GOING BANKRUPT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED. *TR

PURCHASED NEW AND OWN A 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN. WE HAVE CUT OUR HANDS SEVERAL TIMES OPENING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHEN PULLING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE INWARD.

IT ISN'T A LITTLE BUT A LOT CAUSING A PUDDLE AND A HORRIBLE GAS SMELL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS IN MY VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS EVERYONE AROUND THE STATION IS ASTONISHED AT HOW MUCH IT LEAKS AND THAT I GET IN THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE OFF. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS TO REPLACE A VALVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT THEN WHY DOES IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. LAST WEEKEND THIS HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY (3 KIDS UNDER 4 ARE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS) WHILE ON VACATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS VERY SCARED AND ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT MAKING SURE WE WERE NOT AROUND ANYTHING HOT OR ANYBODY SMOKING. AS ONE CIGARETTE WOULD HAVE PUT OUR VEHICLE INTO SHOOTING FLAMES. WE WERE ALSO ALL EXPOSED TO THE FUMES ALL WEEKEND LONG. *TR

I STOPPED INTO TO TETON MOTORS IN JACKSON, WY. AND TOLD THEM I HEARD A SQUEAL FROM MY BRAKES. THEY ASKED HOW MANY MILES ON THE CAR I TOLD THEM 36,000.

THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS WHEN I HAD A FLAT TIRE REPLACED AND THE TIRE SERVICE TECH ATTEMPTED TO REPROGRAM THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM AT WHICH TIME, THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED IMMEDIATELY. THE REPROGRAMMING WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ELECTRICITY TO COMPLETE THE TPMS. I FOLLOWED THE OWNER'S MANUAL'S INSTRUCTIONS' AND HAD THE SAME RESULTS, A DEAD BATTERY AND UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT. I NOW HAVE A USELESS TPMS AND THE DANGER OF GETTING STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY.

MY 5 YEAR OLD SON WAS HIT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH OUR AUTOMATIC CLOSING CARGO DOOR ON OUR 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHEN THE RESISTANCE MECHANISM FAILED. INSTEAD OF GOING BACK UP AFTER MEETING SOME RESISTANCE THE CARGO DOOR CONTINUED TO CLOSE ON HIS HEAD RESULTING IN A GASH TO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WHICH RESULTED IN 3 STAPLES TO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED GM AND IT HAS TAKEN THIS LONG TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE. THEY OFFERED TO PAY HIS MEDICAL EXPENSES, WHICH WERE ALREADY COVERED WITH OUR MILITARY INSURANCE, AND 300 FOR HIS PAIN AND SUFFERING. WE DECLINED THE 300 BECAUSE GM WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY EVEN GOING AS AFAR AS TO SAY THAT I MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE BY PULLING HIM OUT FROM UNDER THE DOOR. WHEN I ASKED THE CLAIMS LADY IF I SHOULD HAVE THEN ALLOWED THE CARGO DOOR TO KEEP CLOSING ON MY SON'S HEAD SHE SAID I DON'T KNOW I WASN'T THERE.
