problem #2

Feb 192002

(reported on)

Suburban 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The vehicle is in AWD or 4-wheel drive - step on the gas after being stopped, the transmission sounds as if it is about to fall off. When in 4-wheel drive the vehicle is difficult to turn. Also, rear heater takes 30 minutes to heat up, and then only blows luke warm air when the gas pedal is depressed. Manufacurer states by design.
