Faults:

The brake light switch had to be replaced but was covered under warranty. Also the fuel pump was replaced, but also covered in warranty.

General Comments:

I think this vehicle is a winner. It was bought used with 87774 miles, but runs like brand new.

It is very responsive to controls and has great power and comfort compared to other SUV's in it's class.

The braking system could be improved, but really no other complaints.

I love going out on the open road and cutting loose. Also off-road driving is pleasurable with exception of slight suspension woes, bouncing.

I would recommend a Suburban to anyone.

Faults:

The only problems that we have experienced are that it is really hard on brakes and we suffered a perpetual transfer case third member leak for a year or two. We finally found a mechanic that was able to repair the transfer case seals as well as install a good set of aftermarket heavy duty brakes to the vehicle (performance friction brand). Other than that, this baby is the perfect SUV.

General Comments:

This thing is the last of a dying breed! IT IS king of the highway and can tow just about anything. ALL other SUV's feel like toys after you have driven this thing.

Faults:

After owning the vehicle for 1,000 miles or at 80,000 miles, the fuel pump went bad. I did some quick calculation at 16 M.P.G and found it had pumped 5,000 gallons of fuel. That's a lot of fuel for a small little pump. I replaced it myself and it wasn't that hard to do. Total cost under $300.00.

The engine light went on intermittently and I stopped using ethanol fuel and it stopped coming on.

General Comments:

The brakes are not very good.

I found that if you manually adjust the brakes in the rear every oil change, they work great.

The rear doors squeak.

I now know that if you keep the seals clean and keep a polymer on them, that they won't squeak anymore.

Faults:

Starting with the original starter I am now on the third one.

The front and rear breaks never worked properly, i.e. pulling, extreme vibration, extreme front pad wear, only 15% wear on original rear shoes after 84,000. (dealer says this is OK!)

Air-conditioning leaking under dash.

Automatic door locks fail when wet (rain, or car-wash).

Catalytic converters need replacing after 84K miles. (Manufacturer Warranty void after 80K miles)

General Comments:

This is a roomy solid ride.

The towing package that comes with is performing well.

Passes everything except the gas station, but knew that before I bought.

The 454 cubic inch engine has enough power towing 27', 7,000lbs travel trailer.

Faults:

We have had problems from the very beginning. There is some sort of electrical problem. The dealer can't seem to find it and has yet to offer a replacement. The car has broken down so many times that we have lost count. If it wasn't for the mechanical breakdown we purchased from our insurance company, we would be flat broke from repairs. It has had the manifold replaced, the gasket to the manifold replaced, two security chips, keeps blowing different fuses randomly and at times all fuses at once, leaving a driver in complete darkness, with no headlamps or anything. The seats keep popping springs and I am far from being overweight. The towing package is completely inadequate: basically it's a nice looking hunk of junk. What a shame for a 36k dollar car. Brand new.The last few vacations we have taken we rent a car because it is so unreliable. I paid good money for a car that rarely leaves the driveway. It has officially made it to lemon status on Carfax.

General Comments:

It handles better than a horse and wagon, but not as reliable. When the horse fails you just shoot it.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

What an awesome truck. This is the real "King of the Hill" Sport utility. Lots of room, a smooth and powerful 350 V8, and a commanding view of the road. I looked at the Expedition, Durando, and the Cherokee. I just laugh. When compared to the Suburban they are just wannabe SUV's. Even the Navigator and Lexus Jeep, what a waste of money. The Suburban is practical and well worth the price.
