While replacing the rusted brake lines on my suburban (see tracking number 11066863), I noticed the fuel lines going to the fuel filter were also terribly rusted. It appears the rust emanates from the plastic clamp that secures the fuel line to the frame. The tube nut that goes into the filter appears to be frozen with rust. Salt and dirt are trapped in the plastic clamp and nut, which is impossible to wash out. The fuel lines on top of the fuel tank are likely to be rusted, too.

On two separate occasions, my family and I were coming home from two different trips. The first trip was to new orleans from south texas. On our way home, while driving on the expressway, our suburban suddenly turned off. We were driving about 70 MPH. The driver immediately put the vehicle in neutral and started the vehicle again. It turned on. We pulled over to a resting area and opened the hood, but we were unable to determine what caused the malfunction. It happened once more when we got home. This trip was during the week of july 20th, 2015. This past weekend (march 12-14, 2016), we drove up to san antonio from south texas. While we were in san antonio on the expressway, the vehicle turned off again. Again, the driver put the vehicle in neutral and turned on the vehicle again. We were able to safely pull over and check the vehicle. Again, we were unable to determine what was causing the malfunction. I had researched this problem online and have read that this has happened to several people who own a 2002 chevrolet suburban.

Driving on residential road and vehicle suddenly reduced speed to 10 MPH. Message displayed "reduced power mode". No one knows how to diagnose. All repairs I have read on the internet forums are expensive and the problem eventually returns. This problem is intermittent and can occur at any time. The most concern is on the freeway where your vehicle is reduced to 10-20 MPH and the speed limit is 70 MPH.

While driving on the highway, the engine just died. It does it on extremely hot days and after driving for long periods of time. There are no warnings for the engine cutting off and it is an extreme safety hazard when it suddenly loses power. It looks like this should be a safety recall issue as it is a common occurrence on this vehicle.

My 2002 chevrolet suburban 1500 has began to stall unexpectedly. It stalls when fuel tank is low and when tank is full. Lately, its been difficult to crank. I have a new battery, the alternator tested fine, I've had the fuel pump replaced twice and it still stalls.

I have a 2002 chevy suburban. The truck started shutting off at any speed leaving me without power steering or power brakes. I changed the fuel filter the next day but problem still occurs. Then car stalled on highway and would not start again. Car started about 2 hours later and then cut out a block down the road. Started the car another 3 hours later and car was able to make it the 5 miles home. Fuel pump was replaced about 50k miles ago. Stall is a dangerous situation with no steering and little braking issue. With all of the internet feedback, and the 2000 and 2001 fuel issues with this model, chevy should do something about this.
