2016 Chevrolet Suburban Engine Problems

I have read reports online of the two thousand sixteen chevy suburban turning off completely while driving.I have experienced this not once not twice.But three times now, with my chevy, suburban. This is a severe safety issue and can lead to death or major financial loss

Transmission and Engine Failed. Please inspect. I've had several shops and mechanics inspect. I was towing both times and could have been seriously injured when my transmission went out. Then after that was resolved my engine went out. No symptoms or warnings before incidents occurred.

While driving on the interstate in Nevada (speed limit of 80MPH) I had my 2016 Suburban throw a rod through the engine block as I was in the left lane passing a Uhual on an incline. The vehicle made a loud bang, lost all engine power and protruded smoke so thick I could not see cars behind me. I was thankfully able to coast to side of the road without being hit. I then exited vehicle and there was a fire in the engine bay which I put out with a gallon of water in the trunk. My mechanic confirmed the thrown rod and hole in the block and that the car needs a new engine now. I had a CEL a few minutes prior to throwing the rod for an engine knock.

Had the transmission replaced after 100,000 miles. Not even a year later the whole engine blew. With zero warnings lights or signs the engine gave 5 gallons of gas was in the engine along with other issues. We replace the engine and everything starts falling apart. Another $1,400 later it’s still throwing codes which come to find out the computer is now bad. Less the 300 miles have been put on the engine since it was replaced. Constant cam shaft sensors are going off causing the car to not run. $10,000 was put into it to have a running car and huge mechanical issues continue to happen with maybe 150,000 miles. Maintenance was done regularly. Zero issues prior to the transmission which thankfully was covered under warranty.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle started driving rough and vibrating abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the lifters in the engine were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but shortly after retrieving the vehicle, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the lifters had failed again and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 86,243.

I haven’t had this vehicle but for two years. Transmission just went out. 2016 Chevy Suburban 121k miles. Our 2005 GMC Yukon outlasted a 2016 Suburban.

While driving at speed between 18-35mph the transmission began to shutter. I attempted to make a left turn and the vehicle would not accelerate as I pushed on gas pedal. I believe the transmission failed almost causing us to be T-boned by another vehicle approaching intersection from opposite direction. This is definitely a important safety concern.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED ENGINE MISFIRING AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER BOLIVIA CHEVROLET (199 NJ-17, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 07073) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. INVALID VIN.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE MOTOR LOSES POWER OR FEELS LIKE WANTS TO TURN OFF. WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE SUV SOMETIMES TRYS TO BRAKE BY ITSELF AND WARNED THAT SOMETHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME WITH A CLEAR FREEWAY.

TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND CUNVAER BELT

MY AC CONDENSER WENT OUT 2 DAYS AFTER HAVING MY CAR SERVICED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. CALLED CHEVY AND SAID NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE FORCE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

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

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE GOES INTO "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED MODE" PREVENTING ANY ACCELARATION. ONCE YOU TAP THE BRAKES - THAT IS YOUR NEW MAXIMUM SPEED. IF GOING UP AN INCLINE AND YOU SLOW DOWN - NEW MAXIMUM SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. TO MAKE A LEFT TURN - THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED BEFORE THERE IS ANY SORT OF POWER/ACCELERATION TO CROSS THE ROAD. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF YOU CANNOT EASILY PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF HARMS WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVY SUBURBAN. RESULTING IN A CLOSE CALL TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN GETTING TOWED THE VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE UP THE TOW TRUCK BED AND HAD TO BE WINCHED UP.
