2001 Chevrolet Suburban LS review from North America
"Worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy pulley replaced 15000 miles.
Failed state safety inspection at 25300 miles because the rear brake rotors had rusted causing the parking brake not to hold. None of the pads, linings or rotors were worn out, but all were replaced. Not under warranty. I found many complaints of parking brake failure on the NHTSA web page. GM currently has no safety related recall for this problem.
General comments?
This vehicle is powerful, comfortable and handles like a big car.
Highway gas mileage was acceptable on a recent trip of over 200 miles.
