2017 Chevrolet SUBURBAN problems and owner complaints

ON THE INTERSTATE THERE WAS A LINE OF MOTORCYCLES OF AT LEAST 50. AHEAD AND BEHIND THEM WERE A FEW OF THE NEWER SUBURBANS AND TAHOES BY CHEVY/GMC. I DIDNT HAVE ISSUES WITH THE LINE AND DELAY. I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THEIR HAZZARDS/EMERGENCY LIGHTS BLINKING. WHEN THOSE VEHICLES HAVE THEIR HAZARD LIGHTS BLINKING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN THEY ARE PRESSING ON THE BRAKES!!!! SO IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN THE HAZARD LIGHTS ARE ON AND BLINKING.

HAD A FLAT TIRE ON MY LIGHT DUTY TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH TRAILERING CAPABILITY. TRUCK SPARE TIRE IS RATED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY AND SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK. IF THE TEMPORARY USE TIRE IS ON THE FRONT AXLE WHILE TOWING A TRAILER AT A SPEED IF 55MPH IS IT SAFE IN AN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATION ? IS THE MAJORITY OF WEIGHT NOW ON THE FRONT AXLE? GM TOLD ME THE SPARE IS 17 1/2' THE REGULAR TIRES ARE 18' THE OWNERS MANUAL ALERT THE OWNER NOT TO USE 4WD BECAUSE OF A SMALLER TIRE. IS IT SAFE ? HAD TIRE FIXED AND WENT TO COSTCO AND PU…

I WAS AT THE TOP OF A BOAT RAMP BEGINNING TO BACK UP IN ORDER TO LAUNCH OUR BOAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD AS A ROCK, IT WOULD NOT PRESS DOWN. QUICKLY, I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND MOVED SLOWLY TO LEVEL GROUND. THE BRAKE PEDAL REMAINED HARD, BUT STOPPED WHEN EXERTING TREMENDOUS PRESSURE, AKA "STANDING ON THE BREAK." I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM WAS A FAILED BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY THERE APPEARED TO BE A HARD SHIFT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AND WHEN SECOND GEAR DID KICK IN, THERE WAS A SUDDEN JERK. ALREADY HAVING MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THAT MORNING A WHIRLING SOUND APPEARED EACH TIME THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS PRESSED. WHEN WE GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT CAME BACK CLEAR. I ALSO PAY FOR ON STAR, AND THEY PROVIDE ME WITH REGULAR DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS, WHICH NEVER INDICATED A PROBLEM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVE…

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING. ISSUES WITH AIRBAG WIRING UNDER SEAT. WIRING HARNESS IS ON BACK ORDER MEANING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE RECALLING AND TAKING CARE OF THESE ISSUES. WHEN ONE BUYS A 2017 SUBURBAN AND PAYING OVER $40K YOU DON'T EXPECT TO BE INVESTING MONEY TO BE FIXING SAFETY ISSUES.

VEHICLE DASH AND HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE STALLS AND DIES, POWER STEERING BECOMES INOPERATIVE. TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR AND FREEWHEELS. SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY WIFE AND 5 KIDS WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON CURVY BACKROADS AT NIGHT LIKE JUST HAPPENED LAST NIGHT! THIS IS ALSO THE SAME PROBLEM AS OUR PREVIOUS CHEVY TAHOE SO WE KNEW THE PROBLEM WAS LIKELY RELATED TO POOR QUALITY BATTERY CABLES THAT ARE DEGRADING PREMATURELY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 3-4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING A GM…

The first problem that happened with the 2017 Chevrolet Suburban was we were driving and the 1 of 2 brake boosters gave out. We had to contact with customer service of Chevrolet of informed them about what happened. We took the vehicle to a local dealership to have fixed, then after that we started to have problems with the transmission, fuel pump and the air ride. With the transmission/electrical system you would be driving down the road, the next thing that you will know is that the door locks will lock then unlock, then the vehicle will w…
