2005 Chevrolet Suburban

DRIVER SIDE SEAT HEATER RANDOMLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF. MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE HEATER STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AND BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE. THIS HAPPENS MORE ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS AND WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO TURN THE HEATED SEAT OFF, THE CONTROLS WON'T WORK. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE SUV IS STARTED, CONTINUES WHILE IDLING AND WHILE DRIVING. SOME DAYS IT IS HOURS BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF. OTHER DAYS IT WILL NOT GO OFF. THE SCARY THING IS YOU CAN HEAR THE DASHBOARD CLICKING WHEN THE HEATER TURNS ON AND OFF, CONSTANTLY CYCLING THOUGH HIGH TO LOW, BACK OF SEAT TO BOTTOM OF THE SEAT. ADJUSTING THE SEAT IN ANY WAY DOES NOT HELP. I THINK THIS IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT TURNS OFF AND ON AND YOU CAN HEAR IT CYCLE THROUGH. IT'S ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN BECAUSE THE HEAT STAYS ON WITHOUT ANY WAY TO TURN IT OFF. THIS STARTED A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE OCTOBER 2016.

THE FUEL LINE THAT IS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK ROTTED THROUGH. THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION LINES ROTTED AND LEAKED. THE CHASSIS IS ROTTING IN DIFFERENT PLACES I HAVE LESS THAN 77,000 MILES ON IT SINCE I BOUGHT NEW. I HAVE A 1969 MALIBU THAT I'VE HAD SINCE IT WAS NEW AND I KEEP IT OUTSIDE IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER AND NOT ONE PART OF THE CHASSIS IS ROTTED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF STEEL THEY USE NOW TO BUILD THESE CARS AND TRUCKS, BUT IT SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATES THESE THINGS HAPPENED, BUT I DO HAVE ALL THE REPAIR BILLS FOR THEM. WHEN THE BRAKE LINE ROTTED THROUGH I WAS GOING TO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME TO A YIELD SIGN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHET TO THE FLOOR. IT'S A GOOD THING IT HAPPENED THEN, BECAUSE I LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN AND WE HAVE A ROAD CALLED BREAKNECK AND IT IS A 25% GRADE. IT WAS RAINING THE DAY THAT THIS HAPPENED AND ALL I HAD WAS A LITTLE BIT OF FOOT BRAKE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SURELY WOULD HAVE HAD A BAD ACCIDENT IF I MADE IT TO THAT HILL.

ONE MORNING CAME OUT TO START MY 2005 SUBURBAN AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE POPPED ON ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. TOOK IT TO MY SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM RENDERING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM INOP. I BELIEVE GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS AS NOT EVERYONE HAS $400 TO FIX A FAULTY SENSOR. THE ODOMETER ON MY SUBURBAN IS 127,000 MILES, SO BY NO MEANS DRIVEN HARD.

IT WOULDN'T LET ME PICK TIRES I HAVE A SET OF 4 BRIDGESTONE DEULER H/L AND THE TIRES HAVE 2 TIRES HAVE 6/32 OF TREAD AND THE OTHER 2 HAD 8/32 AND ON ALL 4 TIRES THE BELTS ARE SEPARATING !!! I USED TO HAVE A CDL LICENSE AND DRIVE TOW TRUCKS AND IF I GOT PULLED OVER BY THE STATE WHETHER IT BE BY D.O.T. OR STATE POLICE I WOULD RECEIVE TICKETS AND POSSIBLY BE STUCK AT WEIGH STATION WAITING FOR A TIRE REPAIR SERVICE TO SHOW UP !!

REAR BRAKE LINE FAILED. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THE 2005 SUBURBAN 1500, SHE MANAGED TO PRESS THE EBRAKE THEN TURN THE SUBURBAN INTO SOMEONE'S FRONT YARD WHERE IT EVENTUALLY CAME TO REST ON A HILL. SHE WAS HEADED DOWNHILL ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. TOOK TO HUNDRU CHEV IN MANHEIM PA I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WILL BE SOMEWHERE AROUND $2300.00

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE HEATED SEATS INGAUGE BY THEMSELVES AND COME ON EVERY TIME WE USE THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TRIED TURNING THEM BACK OFF, BUT THEY COME RIGHT BACK ON AND WILL CYCLE UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES THEN STAY IN THE HIGH POSITION. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THAT MY HUSBAND WAS ACCIDENTALLY TURNING THEM ON BUT HE WASN'T. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME. THERE IS NO RYHME OR REASON TO IT. ITS VERY DISTRACTING TRYING TO TURN THEM OFF OVER & OVER AGAIN. I COULD SEE WHERE IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I RESEARCH END ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF POST ON THE SAME ISSUE. NONE OF THEM HELPED WITH A SOULOUTIN TO THE PROBLEM. I PUT MY VIN # IN TO SEE IF THEIR WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. AND COULDN'T FIND ONE. MY QUESTION IS WHY? WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THERE ARE ONLINE. NOT SURE IF THEY WERE NOT COMPLAINING HERE ABOUT IT BUT NOW AT LEAST I HAVE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE DRIVING IT, WHEATER ISN'T A FACTOR EITHER. IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HELP PLEASE

AS I WAS ABOUT TO EXIT A PARKING LOT ONTO A FOUR LANE ROADWAY, THE BRAKES ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FAILED. I LIVED APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE FROM THIS LOCATION AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME. IT WAS A LITTLE SCAREY WITHOUT ANY STOPPING POWER, EVEN THE EMERGENCY BAKE WOULD NOT HOLD. WHEN I GOT HOME, I USED A FLASHLIGHT TO TRY TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. FOUND A PATTERN OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKING. REMOVED THE SPARE TIRE TO GET A BETTER LOOK AND FOUND A BRAKE LINE BETWEEN THE ABS AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE HAD RUSTED OUT. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE LINE CONDITION, THEY NEED TO BE ALL REPLACED. NEVER IN MY 70 YEARS HAVE I SEEN BRAKE LINES ON A TEN YEAR OLD VEHICLE LOOK LIKE THEY DID, REALLY IN BAD SHAPE. LOOKED AT OTHER LINES, FUEL, TRANSMISSION, THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED.
