CarComplaints.com Notes: Engines shouldn't need a new quart of oil every 500-1000 miles, but for thousands of Suburban owners that's exactly what's happening. Engine oil consumption on aluminum block engines with Active Fuel Management (AFM) is out of control and owners are left looking for answers.

The most likely culprit is an uncovered AFM valve which, in many cases, can be covered under warranty. The problem is the issues don't stop there and many owners have been told by GM just to buy a new engine. Take one guess who they want to pick up the tab.

Takata recall - we were notified that our air bags were dangerous and should be replaced. That letter came in July 2016 we drive our grandkids in this car. We have asked over and over again when we will get new ones. Same answer when we get some. It is not 2 years and still they won't tell us anything about when this will be replaced. Having a recent traffic accident and the bags did not go off as they should of because of the impact. I wonder if they are so damaged as they don't work at all. Help us please to get our new airbags..the letter states that this is a GM recall 49151. We have also been informed now that the company has filed bankruptcy.

Takata recall: My vehicle VIN is listed as one that has been identified as having faulty takata airbags. GM was given until Sept 2017 to complete its investigation and come up with a plan to resolve the problem. So far I have heard nothing from GM about this and when I called the local dealership in November of 2017 I was told to just "wait and we'll let you know". the deadline for their investigation ended three months ago. I have a faulty airbag and am driving myself and my 5 kids around town daily. I need this to be fixed, but GM refuses to do anything and apparently the federal government lets deadlines slide by without any repercussions against companies that are defiantly flaunting the rules. What can be done about this so that we can be assured our vehicles are safe? the 20th death as a result of a faulty takata airbag was just confirmed today.

The service manager informed me that General Motors have extensively tested these airbags in several similar vehicles and that I was not in any danger and that the replacement airbags are still not available. I would like to point out that I received the first recall notice from General Motors on July 2016 and since then I have checked with the dealership periodically to have this recall performed. Grand prize Chevrolet now bomnin Chevrolet continue to inform me that no parts are available to perform the recall and no repairs are authorized from General Motors. This vehicle is operated on a daily basis and safety is paramount and of grave concern. GM recall number 49151
