| The transmission began slipping; the car would not move from 2nd to 3rd gear; the transmission had to be rebuilt or replaced on 2/06/2008, we had it rebuilt. the vehicle only had 69710 miles. we were in a rural area at the time rather than rush hour traffic. thank goodness. *tr | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated while being on an incline and with the gear shifter in drive the vehicle rolls back if the brakes are not applied. upon inspection the dealership determined this is the way the vehicle was designed. updated 4/14/2006 - *nm | |||
| 07/05/2005 | 4 | 01/08/2005 | |
| Dt*: the contact stated that the 2005 chevrolet suburban has no quick exit from the third seat and the tailgate. it takes too much force to open from the inside. the vehicle is so long the side view mirrors do not show the road very well even after adjustments are made. the brakes on the vehicle take too much force to stop the vehicle in an emergency. lastly, the pickup on the transmission is sluggish which is a concern in emergency conditions when accelerating from a stopped position. the contact spoke with the dealer, and was referred to the manufacturer because all issues are with the design of the vehicle.*ak | |||

| 2005 chevrolet suburban (less than 1 week old) -car was placed into park on a driveway with hill -parking foot brake was engaged -i left the vehicle and started walking into this house -at 30 yds i heard something behind me and turned to realize the car was rolling -i ran back, jumped into the car and slammed the brake on -i tested this 3 more times and repeated this condition. -the dashboard indicator is saying the car is in park, but it is not locking -an additional concern was that parking brake did not hold up with 3 children in my household this is a major concern. not to mention it nearly ran me over. this is a brand new car!!! not more than 400 miles on it. car is currently being looked at by the chevy dealer. this is serious and thought it was important to inform the agency.i*=*ak - | |||

| I have a 2005 chevy suburban 4x4 and within the first 14,000 miles it has started to engage into 4w lo while driving on the freeway, in reverse, going 25 mph in residential neighborhood(this is a gear that you cannot drive over 15mph in). needless to say that shellworth chevrolet located in vacaville, ca has been trying to fix the problem for over 25,000 miles and over 6 times in the shop. they have been unsuccessful with the last time it was in the shop unwilling to do anything for me. it has even been towed into their shop on one occasion. they no longer want to provide me with service, told me to file a complaint with gm for a buyback purchase and shoed me off. gm says it is not eligible for the buyback program probably because of all the false and inaccurate information the service writers have documented on the work orders. i have asked to speak to gm district manager who has made this decision and he has declined to speak to me, as well as the service manager at shellworth has not returned my last 2 phone calls. the law states that they either fix my vehicle to a working order or give me a replacement vehicle. they are not doing either. on oct. 31 after arguing with them because they didn't want to handle the issue that time either they decided to go look at a different bulletin and found something, so they replaced some parts and released the vehicle to me. since then the light has came on 2 times which is the start of the process in which it then engages to 4w lo all by itself. *tr | |||

| The driver and passenger's side mirrors failed. the objects appeared far away than normal. this caused poor visibility. the vehicle had a tow mirror package. the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic determined that this was a design flaw from the manufacturer. the mechanic informed the consumer that the mirror could be replaced, but the driver had to pay for it. *ak the four wheel drive light had come on. *sc | |||
