| Suburban loses power and engine dies while driving. no warnings before shut off and no codes after shut off. after waiting 5-10 minutes, vehicle cranks and runs again. randomly, it may shut off again in 1-2 miles or run for days without the problem. this is very disturbing when one is on the interstate running 70 mph and your engine shuts off. you lose power steering and brakes as you try to make it to the emergency lane. someone is going to get killed!!! the battery died after several attempts to restart yesterday. the dealer cannot identify why the engine shuts off, so no repairs have ben made. | |||

| While driving on the freeway a loud pop was heard inside the vehicle followed by a sudden and pronounced increase in wind noise. the vehicle suffered a structural failure in the rear tail gate window hatch. metal fatigue caused the left window hatch hinge to separate from the vehicle frame. this produced a potentially hazardous situation if as a result of the vehicle speed the window had fully separated from the vehicle at high speed in traffic. the glass window and frame would have struck the trailing vehicle resulting in possible injury or death. | |||

| Rear window hinge broke off from window frame on 2003 suburban. very rarely opened window by itself always opened entire hatch. can not find any recalls or complaints by gm but yet can find several 100 complaints by individuals. gm wants 1,000 to fix. it is obviously a design flaw after paying $43,000 for it gm should step up. they will check the welds on rear window for a flaw but not the hatch part which is what breaks. have always bought chevrolet and this is the longest one i have owned but i will be heading to a different real soon. read about the window blowing out at highway speeds--guess we shouldnt care if it is blowing away from us--right. | |||
