ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN THAT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT, (SEPT 29,2011) WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO TRANSPORT MY FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. PLEASE NOTE, THAT I'M IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THIS MEANS THAT WHEN MY CAR IS DOWN, I'M AT THE MERCY OF FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WHICH IS QUITE AN INCONVENIENCE. I HIRED A SERVICE GUY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT. WHILE ORDERING THE PART, HE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PART WAS ON A RECALL LIST. I CHECKED THE WEBSITE NHTSA.GOV TO VERIFY AND THE RECALL #07V521000 DID EXIST. I CONTACTED THE CHEVY DEALER (NASH CHEVROLET) IN SNELLVILLE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN# WAS NOT IN THE BATCH AND IF THEY SERVICED IT, THE COST WOULD BE $2500. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY PROBLEM COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO WEAR AND TEAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY TO GET THE DEALER TO REPAIR MY CAR AND IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE INVESTIGATION REOPENED AND THE SCOPE ADJUSTED TO INCLUDE ALL 2001 SUBURBANS THAT ARE NONCONFORMING. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO KNOW, HOW DOES GM/CHEVY DETERMINE WHICH CUSTOMERS DESERVE TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD, AND WHY WEREN'T ALL THEIR QUALIFYING CONSUMERS NOTIFIED. IS GM ABOVE THE LAW? HOW IS IT THAT GM IS NOT ALLOWED TO COMPLY TO THESE FEDERAL LAWS AFTER AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN CONDUCTED? DOES GM ONLY RESPOND TO THEIR CUSTOMERS IF THEIR IS DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT OR IF LITIGATION IS INVOLVED? PLEASE ADVISE.

CAR STALLED SUDDENLY AT 40 MPH, LOSING POWER STEERING IN TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED. INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. WHILE GM HAS RECALLED 2001 SUBURBANS FOR CRANK POSITION FAILURES IN THIS YEAR MODEL, MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I PURCHASED REPLACEMENT PART AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. GM REFUSED TO REIMBURSE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO WONDER GM IS IN DECLINE WITH THE LACK OF RESPONSE TO A VERY STRANGE AND DANGEROUS ENGINE STALL WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING.

MY 2001 SUBURBAN HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC TWICE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE BOTH TIMES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR AS WELL. PROBLEM GOES AWAY IF THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE IS LARGE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO BE STALLED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

MY 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN 2500 LT HAS 52000 MILES IT IS BURNING OIL ON LONG TRIPS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS. CHEVY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS NOT A RECALL AS OF NOW. THEY WANT MY PRIVATE WARRANTY TO PAY FOR THIS. I ALSO HAVE A FIFTY DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE THAT I MUST PAY. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS WHICH I HAVE A COPY OF. I ALSO THINK THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A SLIGHT KNOCK. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES FOR RUST CORROSION WHICH IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IT WOULD JUST DIE. I WOULD LOSE ALL POWER . IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY I NEVER HAD ANYONE BEHIND ME OR THEY WOULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO ME. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THIS TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE OIL FILTER SO I PICKED IT UP AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY I WOULD SUE THEM WELL THE SECOND TIME THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS TRUCK AND I ALSO FEEL CHEVY IS NOT BACKING THEIR TRUCK.

I OWN A 2001 SUBURBAN. THE TRUCK USES 1 QT OF MOTOR OIL TO EVERY 1000 MILES. THE DEALER IS FREDRICK CHEVROLET OF LEBANON, PA. THE GM SONG THEY SING IS THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR A 5.3 ENGINE.

OIL CONSUMPTION, STEERING COLUMN, SIDE DOOR PANELS, REAR-END, SEATS CRACKING, FRONT POPPING NOISE, STEERS TO RIGHT CONSTANTLY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2001. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY HERE IN N.C. AND ALSO TALKED TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION THAT THEY HAVE TRADED BECAUSE OF IT AND THEY JUST KEPT TELLING US IT IS WITHIN MANUFACTURE LIMITS. THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE OIL PROBLEM BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. ALSO THE STEERING HAS BEEN BROKEN DOWN TWICE BECAUSE OF ITS PROBLEM. THE DOOR PANELS ARE STILL NOT FIXED AFTER 2 TRIES. THE REAR-END HAS BEEN WORKED ON 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF DIFFERENTIAL FLUID, THE STEERING WHEEL STILL SCRUBS WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS STARTING TO CRACK. THE CONSUMER PEOPLE IN RALEIGH WILL NOT HELP US AFTER WE FILLED THE COMPLAINT, THEY WROTE US AND TOLD US TO HIRE A LAWYER AND THE MANUFACTURE ONLY OFFERED US A $1000.00 OWNER/LOYALTY CERTIFICATE TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE. WHAT IS OUR NEXT STEP WITHOUT HIRING AN ATTORNEY?
