1998 GMC Suburban Reviews

My transmission was defective and went out at 50,000 miles.

My transmission went out at 114,000 miles and was rebuilt.

Fuel Pump went out at 100,000 miles.

Axle and Ball Joints were changed at 130,000 miles.

Driver's side seat is very bad. The seat isn't very strong.

I haven't had any major problems with the exception of the defective transmission.

All issues I have had with the car were at or above the 100,000 mile mark, which is expected.

I certainly got my money's worth with this car.

CD player stopped working at 40,000 miles.

Transmission blew up at 50,000 miles.

ABS sensor problem at 55,000 miles, chatters to a stop.

Oil lines to cooler leaking and had to be replaced at 55,000 miles.

Check engine light being set under throttle on hills. Dealer can't figure it out at 60,000 miles.

Rear wiper not working at 70,000 miles.

Door handles on driver door exterior broke at 75,000.

Interior door handle broke at 78,000 miles.

This truck has been an utter disappointment. I've spent well over $6,000 in maintenance in 2 years time, and still have substantial repairs to perform. I've previously owned BMW's, and this kind of quality would not be tolerated or excused by a BMW dealer or BMW North America. Chevrolet and its dealers treat this kind of failure on a $45,000 vehicle as par for the course.

I will not purchase another GM vehicle. They've lost my business and I'm now looking to sell the truck to cut my losses.
