2024 Chevrolet Suburban problems

“Driving our 2024 Suburban, 6.2 L engine, on a 2-lane highway in southern Utah, traveling on cruise control at 70 mph, felt 2 hesitations (jerking movement), and turned off cruise control. Immediately after, heard knocking/thumping sound in the front of the vehicle, followed by a whining sound that got louder. Immediately found a turn-off from the highway, pulled in, and engine died while vehicle was still in motion. Attempted starting again and would not start. People stopped to help us and tried to jump vehicle without success. Suburban was towed to a Chevy dealership and we were told the Suburban's engine seized. In researching this issue, we came across NHTSA's investigation case EA26005. Our VIN does not fall in to this recall.”

“Ongoing observation where the 10L80 equipped often shutters or struggles to determine the appropriate gear, often hesitating on acceleration. This has caused numerous scares when entering onto roadways. This has been a recalled issue on 2020-2022 models, but the issues persists with this year model (2024). The dealer has said it is a common experience among owners and expects a recall, but has said they can do nothing otherwise until then. The transmission has been properly cared for and serviced, following the GM recommended maintenance interval.”

“The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Suburban. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. The vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the failure persisted. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,300.”

“Persistent, intermittent total audio cutout disabling critical crash avoidance alerts. Failure Summary & Safety Impact: The vehicle experiences intermittent, complete failures of the audio system across all sources. When this failure occurs, all audible safety warning chimes are completely silenced—including Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Park Assist. This places occupants and other road users at immediate safety risk, as the driver receives no audible warning prior to an impending crash or hazard. Diagnostics & History: The issue first was brought to an authorized Chevrolet dealership for inspection and repair multiple times (first on April 29, 2026) and has not been remedied. They even replaced the radio system (through which all audio is routed) and this did not fix the issue. The vehicle remains in its original condition and is available for inspection upon request. There were no dashboard warning lamps or error messages displayed prior to or during the failure.”

“The vehicle went into limp mode! Everything associated with it happened so quickly,no brakes,no steering ,it was terrifying. We got safely to a gas station. We were advised to take it to a certified Chevrolet dealer which we did We had it towed to the certified Chevrolet dealer in Charlevoix, Michigan.They hooked it up to the diagnostics and said they found absolutely nothing wrong with the vehicle.Very Frustrating! After experiencing this terrible incident will never feel safe in this vehicle!”

“i pulled on to the road and i heard a loud knocking and my vehicle started skipping and wouldn't go. the lights on the dash lit up and said, "brake failure" and "emergency brake failure" and i had no brakes. I managed to coast into a parking lot. The engine light was on. I turned the vehicle off and waited about 5 minutes and turned it back on, The engine light remained. The first time this happened I was going down the road and the vehicle started sputtering, the emergency brake light came on the dash and the car shut off. It has a rough idle when you start it. I am terrified of this car. I have grandbabies in the car with me, Had i been on the highway either time i would have caused a terrible accident. The dealer says they can't get the car to do it so they can't fix anything. It has happened twice so you know it will again.”
