I purchase a new Chevrolet Suburban in June 2004 from priority Chevrolet in chesapeake Virginia. At about 4000 miles I noticed the inside edges (about 1 inch wide) on the front tires were wearing more than the rest of the tire surface, I called the service department of the dealership and they told that while they are aware of the problem with uneven tire wear on Suburban that it is not a warranty covered item. I took the vehicle to Firestone and they told me the cambers needed to be adjusted. The tires on the front continue to wear faster on the inside edges than the rest of the tire surface. I am very diligent about service of my 3 automobiles. If this is a persistent problem with Suburban as it was stated to me, my concern is that the uneven tire wear is an accident waiting to happen. These potential tire failures need to be brought to the attention of General Motors. Even if an accident does not occur these tires are not cheap. Once the inside wear becomes bad enough the tires will not pas inspection thus creating a cost to the vehicle owner at a premature time. I feel this is a dangerous situation which needs to be brought to the attention of GM.

The vehicle lost it's service stability control at 40 miles per hour making it difficult for the driver to maintain control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair for the fourth time, but there still continues to be a steering problem. There were five repair attempts to repair the system. The brakes would pulse and come on while the vehicle was in motion followed by the service stability light. The vehicle would shake violently as if it were out of control. The transmission would slip at times. A service bulletin was found in re to the clutch. The forward clutch seal/piston diss pump as well as the shift cable. The yaw rate sensor table was replaced and the ABS module was reprogrammed. There was popping coming from the left when turning due to the crossmember. Static noise was heard under the dash at times when the headlights flickered. Both upper shock insulators were squeaking. Both shock insulators were removed and replaced by new style insulators. The yaw rate sensor was replaced again with one form a new unit, the steering rotation sensor was replaced and the stability module was reprogrammed.
