problem #3

Mar 292006

Suburban 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 107,050 miles
: the contact stated while traveling 65 mph a clanking noise was heard, as if something fell off of the vehicle. Then, there was a whistling noise, usually associated with a door or window not being shut properly. The vehicle was pulled over and the rear passenger door was opened, and the contact noticed the door was out off alignment and the hinge pin was missing. The dealership determined the pin needed to be replaced.

The problem started with the passenger front door the lock or closing mechanism didn't seem to engage the door would just fly open when making a turn. Then the inside handle broke and the window works only sporadically. Now the driver side door is having similar problems the door does not close completely and the inside door handle broke. Fortunately nobody has fallen out of the car. I also have at least 3 friends who own 1999 Suburban and are having similar problems with their doors.

1999 Chevrolet Suburban. As of 4/28/04 with only 47K miles, A/C compressor defective & dealer will not replace in spite of several attempts to repair before warranty expired, as soon as 3 months after purchase in October of 2002. Replaced brakes 3 times at our expense. Dealer (bob neill Pontiac in winston-salem, nc refused to repair under warranty), steering problems, attempted repair, again at our expense. Replaced door locks and window mechanism's at our cost. Total piece of junk. Will never buy from bob neill Pontiac in winston-salem, nc again & will never buy another GM product. Just bought entire fleet (6 trucks) from Chevy. Dealer N kernersville, nc). Waiting with baited breath for the entire lot to break down. Completely disgusted with GM.
