2010 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 problems

“*From day one of purchase there is a random, frequent loud buzzing/whining through the speakers(with our without the radio on). Dealership had no idea how to fix and Chevrolet said there was no known issue, so no help. *The running lights constantly short out. We continually replace them and they short out again! *We have replaced all four door handles! Cheap chrome plastic is not going to hold up. These should actually be metal to insure holding up! *The tires seem too big since they rub the fender well if you cut sharply to either side. You can actually hear them rubbing on the well as you cut hard to either side! *The dash cracked about five years after we purchased it. We kept it under our carport and this cracking was unacceptable! I called Chevrolet and they said there was no known issue or recall. We continued to ask our dealership to look for recalls on this. *There was a recall on our passenger side airbag. We tried to get it replaced and were told, no they could not. Takata went bankrupt, so sorry, Chevrolet will not replace air bag for you! *After a few years of not being able to use our front seat due to safety issues Chevrolet would not…”

“While driving down the road a large piece of the dash exploded violently projecting a sharp plastic piece of the dash, hitting driver in the face, narrowly missing the eyes, bouncing off and landing in the 2nd row seating area. Thankfully, there was no infant or child in those seats or they could have been injured. The temperature outside was 100+ in the summer in Texas. The cracking dash issue has been reported by us and by numerous other complainants many times previously. This is an ongoing problem that has clearly not been taken seriously by GM.”

“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was restarted and driven; however, approximately one minute later, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was restarted and driven to a nearby parking lot. A certified mechanic arrived and inspected the vehicle. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with rod bearing failure, which caused damage to the engine. The vehicle was driven to the residence, and the contact was advised not to drive the vehicle to prevent a blown engine. The vehicle was not repaired. After the failure, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale on July 30, 2025. At the time of purchase, the mileage was approximately 180,000. The odometer indicated that the current mileage was 193,000. After researching the information on Infotracer.com, the contact discovered that on July 1st, 2001, the mileage was documented as 242,765. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure.”

“ON MOTHER'S DAY I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY SUBURBAN WITH 92K MILES ON IT. WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE CAR WASH I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS TO GET ONTO HWY 29. AS SOON AS I GOT UNTO HWY 29 A CAR SWITCHED FROM THE LEFT LANE TO CROSS OVER IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE TO GET ON TO THE ON RAMP FOR HWY 37 EAST. I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO ENSURE I WOULDN'T HIT HIM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE SUV WAS STILL ACCELERATING. SO I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF THE GAS PEDDLE WAS STUCK UNDER THE MAT. IT WASN'T. SO PRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER. THE SUV WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I THEN PUT THE SUV IN NEUTRAL, BUT IS WAS STILL ACCELERATING ALL THE WHILE KEEPING MY FOOT FIRMLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE. SO I MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO THE MANUAL POSITION. ONCE MOVED INTO THE MANUAL POSITION THE DASH READ M2 WHICH REPRESENTS SECOND GEAR. SO I QUICKLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, GAVE IT GAS, QUICKLY SHIFTED BACK INTO NEUTRAL WHILE HITTING THE BRAKE AND THEN INTO DRIVE. THE ENGINE REVVED REAL LOUD AND THEN THE BRAKE STARTING WORKING AGAIN AND ACCELERATOR WAS NORMAL. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TEAM CHEVROLET IN VALLEJO & A CASE WAS OPENED WITH GM. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND WITH BOTH AND MOSTLY RECENTLY…”
