About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle caught on fire between the accelerator pedal and engine firewall. The fire department was notified and was able to extinguish the fire. A fire report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact sustained minor blisters to the bottom of the feet, which did not require medical attention. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 232,000.
Just like every other Chevy with the 4.8L or 5.3L engine, the exhaust manifold bolts broke off. Causing an exhaust leak, and shortening the lifetime of the vehicle. Epa should be involved, as most of these vehicles experience this issue. It is ridiculously expensive to fix, $2500+.
