This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving with the cruise control activated, vehicle suddenly accelerated, going up to 100 mph. Consumer pressed the brake pedal in order to stop vehicle which would not slow down. Consumer had to place vehicle in "park position" which ruined the engine. Previously, the vehicle was stalling, and dealer replaced the spark plugs and the distributor cap. Then this incident occurred.
The ignition design on the Chevrolet Suburban is flawed. Something causes the battery to leak to the point of totally corroding away the cables. There are no warnings, the vehicle just stops. The battery acid leaks into the internal part of the positive cable and destroy the connection. Because the negative cable is design to run under the positive terminal, it is also effected by the leak.
