| I have had problems since day one on this suburban. most recently the two above. i checked the warranty work that was done on my suburban and it was over a page of claims. i just cannot remember the dates the items i checked occured. the fuel pump problem was long in the coming, they just didn't know what the problem was. i spent outside of warranty hundreds of dollars on the fuel system. this left us stranded 3 times! this last time cost me $765. today, the abs sytem died. they say it's going to cost me close to a $1000 to repair. i purchased the suburban because it was safe to carry my wife and 7 kids. so far, we have been stuck on the road, lost vacation time and just can't feel safe anymore. now i don't have brakes. thanks for letting me vent. kent dold | |||
