CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Visibility Rear Window Wiper/washer

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 2008 Safety Review #10236651

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 1980.CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER . REAR WIPERS ARE NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON VEHICLES THAT HAVE A NEAR VERTICAL REAR WINDOW, LIKE AN SUV, WHICH GETS SOILED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THAT PRACTICALLY BLOCKS REAR VISIBILITY AND CONTRIBUTES TO REAR ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS, AS WELL AS COLLISIONS WITH OTHER OBJECTS. MOST IF NOT ALL SUV'S CAN HAVE A REAR WIPER INSTALLED AS AN ACCESSORY, SO MAKING IT STANDARD WILL BE VERY EASY FOR THE MANUFACTURERS. IN FEBRUARY THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW LEGISLATION ADDRESSING REAR ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS, AND THIS REQUIREMENT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT BILL. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Chevrolet Suburban 1500 2008 problem was reported in LEAWOOD, KS. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 2008 Safety Review #10238660

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 31, 2008.CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with EQUIPMENT . PROBLEM: UNSTABLE & INADEQUATE JACK FOR VEHICLE. I HAD A FLAT ON MY VEHICLE AND USED THE FACTORY JACK. WHILE PULLING THE TIRE OFF THE LUGS THE VEHICLE SHIFTED AND THE JACK FELL OVER. LUCKILY THE TIRE WAS STILL WITHIN THE WHEEL-WELL AND TIRE/RIM BROKE THE FALL. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON A FLAT LEVEL CONCRETE PARKING LOT, THE STABILITY OF THE JACK IS POOR (VERY SMALL FOOTPRINT AND TOP OF THE RAM IS ALSO SMALL). NOT VERY MUCH FRONT-BACK MOVEMENT CAUSES INSTABILITY FOR THE JACK. IN ADDITION, THE MAXIMUM JACK HEIGHT PROVIDED BARELY ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO PUT A NEW TIRE ON (20? FACTORY TIRES). THIS WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN POSSIBLE ON ANY OTHER SURFACE LIKE THE SHOULDER OF A HIGHWAY. I DO ADMIT THAT I HAD NOT PROPERLY ?CHOCKED? THE TIRES THAT ALLOWED FOR MORE MOVEMENT THAN NORMAL, BUT THE MOVEMENT THAT CAUSED THE FALL WAS NOT EXCESSIVE. I PERSONALLY ROTATE MY TIRES ON ALL FOUR OF MY VEHICLES FREQUENTLY USING A FLOOR JACK AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE FACTORY JACK IS UNSAFE AND UNDERSIZED FOR THIS LARGE VEHICLE (SUBURBAN). A CO-WORKER ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ACCIDENT WITH HIS TAHOE WHILE IN HIS GARAGE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNFC16008G. Chevrolet Suburban 1500 2008 problem was reported in LAFAYETTE, LA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VEHICLE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK A DESCRIBED OFTEN REQUIRING SOMEONE TO CRAWL IN THE BACKSEATS TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IN ORDER TO GET THE KIDS OUT. THERE ARE NO KEY LOCKS ON NEW VEHICLES FOR THE BACK DOORS AND WHEN THE LOCKS MESS UP IT REQUIRES SOMEONE TO CRAWL ACROSS AND UNLOCK IT MANUALLY.. RECENTLY MY BACK LEFT DOOR LOCK MESSED UP AND I TOOK IT IN AND PAID OUT OF MY POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT FIND ANY GM DEALERSHIP IN BELGIUM THAT WILL HONOR A GM WARRANTY DUE TO A FALLOUT WITH CHEVROLET. ONE MONTH AFTER I HAD THE BACK LEFT DOOR LOCK REPLACED OUT OF MY POCKET, THE FRONT LEFT WENT OUT AND WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. THIS VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW MY ON-STAR TO WORK PROPERLY IF I NEEDED IT AS FOR THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMOTELY UNLOCK A DOOR WITH THE LOCK ACTUATOR BROKEN. *TR.Mileage was 20159 miles.

DUE TO THE LOCKS ONLY BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE!! AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH ALL 2008 CHEVROLET MODELS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY THE AUTHORITIES!!! DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED?? MY WARRANTY HAPPENED TO EXPIRE 6000 MILES AGO, AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO PAY $300 TO GET IT REPLACED... FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, I CAN EXPECT TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM EVENTUALLY....THAT IS $1200.. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR EVEN ONE RIGHT NOW, BUT I ALSO CAN NOT AFFORD TO LOSE A CHILD....SO I AM KIND OF UP AGAINST A WALL! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!! THANK YOU! *TR.Chevrolet Suburban 1500 2008 problem was reported in AMERICAN FORK, UT. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

ABOUT A MONTH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOORLOCK STOPPED WORKING. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT IS A DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE A NEW WIRING HARNESS NOW SINCE CHEVY HAD CHANGED THE LOCKING WIRING TO AN NEW DESIGN IN 2009 AND THE 2008 WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. IT APPEARS CHEVY KNOWS THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT WANT TO FESS UP TO IT.

I AM A MILITARY HELICOPTER TEST PILOT AND FAA LICENSED AIRCRAFT MECHANIC. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2008 AND IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. WE HAD TO REPLACE A DEAD BATTERY IN JULY 2011 AND FOLLOWING THAT THE RADIO STOPPED KEEPING TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLED REPEATEDLY AND THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE FLASHED IN UNISON. ALSO FOLLOWING EACH EVENT THE RADIO CLOCK TIME AND DATE HAD RESET. IT HAS DONE THIS ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE LATE JULY. AS A PRECAUTION THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS WERE RECHECKED AND FOUND PROPERLY SECURED, ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IT HAS HAPPENED QUICKLY BUT THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY EXHIBITED REDUCED POWER WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR.Mileage was 55000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNFC16J78G. Chevrolet Suburban 1500 2008 problem was reported in NORTH POLE, AK. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

NOW THE LOCKS ON ALL FOUR DOORS WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, BOTH BY REMOTE CONTROL AND BY MANUALLY USING THE MASTER ELECTRIC LOCKS ON FRONT DOORS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS AND HANDLES COULD SOMEDAY CAUSE A PERSON'S DEATH, SHOULD THEY EVER NEED TO EXIT OR ENTER DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS (JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION).

I CAN JUST IMAGINE IF I HAD TO GET A CHILD OR A HANDICAPPED ADULT FROM THE BACK SEAT IN A HURRY AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FOR ME TO DO SO. I HAVE READ ON SOME OTHER SITES THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND KNOW THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED ENOUGH TO KNOW THERE IS A NEW PART NUMBER FOR THE OEM PART. SO IF THEY KNOW IT IS JUNK, MAKE IT RIGHT. A HUMANS LIFE OVER A HAND FULL OF MONEY. NOT TOUGH FOR SOMEONE WITH FEELINGS TO MAKE.
