1993 Chevrolet Suburban LT review from North America
"Great car if you don't mind the poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at around 100000. Looking through the records it went out with the original owner earlier.
After a 3000.00 dollar rebuild, transmission still would not shift right. Dealer said that it was normal unless I wanted to updgrade some wiring harness which was very expensive.
Rear end started to go out around 105000. Again, looking through the records this was not the first time.
Alternator went out numerous times.
Radiator had to be replaced.
Window switches started to not work.
Front brake pads needed replacing every 6000 - 10000 miles.
General comments?
I really wished the the car would have been better. The space was incredible, but it became to expensive to keep. Why can't Chevy and Ford make cars like Toyota. I learned my lesson. Sold the car to get another Toyota.
