| Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet suburban. the contact heard a knocking sound coming from the wheels when the front wheels were turned. she stated that the cause of failure may be the upper intermediate steering shaft. the dealer and manufacturer stated that she would have to pay $275 for the repair. the dealer did not have any recalls for the failure. the contact feels that there should be a recall due to the many repairs related to the wheel failure. she stated that a running board light is dim on the front left side of her vehicle, which she has noticed on many suburbans. the current mileage is 65,000 and failure mileage was 40,000. updated 02-01-08. *kb | |||

| I have a new 2002 chevy suburban that i bought in nov, 2002. i have driven it approx 3000 miles. the headlights go out while driving. luckily , i haven't wrecked yet or killed anyone but nobody will ride with me now. i'd like this to be taken care of by me getting another vehicle in the same style and model. it has been in the garage , this time for 9 days and they still got it. i need a vehicle ! i was hoping for this much money it would last longer than this. | |||

| I recently purchased a 2002 suburban z71. while driving at night, i pushed the dome override switch a few times and my headlights went out. lucky i wasn't traveling around a curve and was able to bring the vehicle to stop without completely running of the road. (i was traveling 50 mph on a country road) i then read my owners manual and learned that the automatic headlight system will shut off the headlights if the dome switch in pushed (in-out-in-out) regardless if the vehicle is in motion or stopped. i believe the headlight override feature should only work while the vehicle is in park. permitting the automatic headlight over ride feature to shut off your headlights while the vehicle is moving will cause accidents. i had a near miss the headlights should never be permitted to shut off by a switch labeled dome override while the vehicle is in motion & it is dark out. dt | |||
| Headlights on late model suv's (suburban used as example) are aimed too high, blinding sedan drivers. thank you for your consideration.*ak | |||
