I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THESE ISSUES REPAIRED AND HAVE SENT LETTERS, BUT THE CHEY DEALERS WILL NOT GET INVOLVED, NOR WILL THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AGREE TO RESEARCH IT ANY FARTHER. I HAVE SPENT OVER $500.00 IN FRONT END PARTS, EXHAUST PARTS AND IT IS STILL THERE. I HAVE OWNED 3 OTHER SUBURBANS AND THIS IS THE WORST DRIVING ONE I HAVE EVER HAD. ARE THERE ANY OTHER WAYS TO GET THIS CAR TO SAFELY GO DOWN THE ROAD? IT WANDERS ALL OVER AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON A WINDY DAY.
