2009 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ONLY OPEN WHEN PULLING THE LATCH MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN CURRENTLY HAS 57,000 MILES. STARTING AROUND 30,000 MILES THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS STARTED TO STOP WORKING. NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT, PASSENGER REAR, AND DRIVERS SIDE READ DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. THEY DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHILE PUSHING THE SWITCH ON DOOR OR USING THE REMOTE. TOOK TO DEALER TODAY AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $875.00. RESEARCHED THE ITEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING AND FREQUENT PROBLEM OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, YET GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE CHILDREN AS THE DOORS TO DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND THEY CAN BE UNLOCKED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I THINK THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, THE HIGH NUMBER OF REPAIRS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE FOR THIS, THE HIGH COST TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IT CAN CAUSE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ICE OR ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, THE COMPUTER FLASHED THE STABILITRAK IS DISABLED AND THE ENGINE IS POWERING DOWN. I WAS DRIVING 75 MILES PER HOUR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ALL THE CARS AROUND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND GO UP ON TO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID ME. MY ENGINE SEIZED UP AND THE CAR WAS MOTIONLESS. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THREE WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE AND AFTER THREE OTHER MAJOR REPAIRS, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN OHIO WHEN THE DASH FLASHED A MESSAGE INFORMING ME TO SERVICE THE STABILITRAC. I HAD ON STAR RUN AN ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY INFORMED THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL WAS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL AND TO HAVE IT SERVICED IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. WE DID SO AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. A WEEK LATER, I WAS TRAVELING THE SAME INTERSTATE AND GOING TO THE SAME LOCATION. THE SERVICE STABILITRAC MESSAGE COMES ACROSS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONCE AGAIN, I HAD ON STAR RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. THIS TIME, THEY ADVISE ME THAT THE ABS IS CURRENTLY NOT FUNCTIONAL AND IT MAY EFFECT MY ABILITY TO STOP IN SHORT DISTANCES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH WE PURCHASED IT. IN FACT, WE ARE GOING THROUGH CONCESSIONS WITH GM IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BUY IT BACK. *TR
