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.
We have a 1999 Chevy Suburban. It now has 80K miles on it. We are on water pump #5. it has always had coolant leak problems. It was always blamed on the water pump. Now I have been informed that the coolant is leaking from around the intake. GM knows of this problem. It has to do with electrolisis between the cast iron engine block and the aluminum intake. We had an extended warranty through 72K miles, but this problem was never fixed. I would have a hard time convincing myself to buy another GM vehicle...
1999 Chevrolet Suburban. As of 4/28/04 with only 47K miles, A/C compressor defective & dealer will not replace in spite of several attempts to repair before warranty expired, as soon as 3 months after purchase in October of 2002. Replaced brakes 3 times at our expense. Dealer (bob neill Pontiac in winston-salem, nc refused to repair under warranty), steering problems, attempted repair, again at our expense. Replaced door locks and window mechanism's at our cost. Total piece of junk. Will never buy from bob neill Pontiac in winston-salem, nc again & will never buy another GM product. Just bought entire fleet (6 trucks) from Chevy. Dealer N kernersville, nc). Waiting with baited breath for the entire lot to break down. Completely disgusted with GM.
