The anti theft system caused the engine to quit going down the hi way several times and was very dangerous some of the times and left us stranded sometimes. Gm acts like they do not know what is wrong but there is ample info on the internet and even a fix but it disable the ats, it turns off the fuel to the injectors killing the engine. This happened many times. We had to be towed twice because it would not restart.

Ever since we purchased this huge pile of junk, it has been every problem to changing fuel pump several times, catalytic converters,batteries,major electrical problems, every gauge in the vehicle is off from gas gauge to speedometer to coolant! There is not anything that is not wrong with it. After thousands of dollars and so many times of being stranded on the side of the road with 4 little kids in the dead of winter with no heat. I would like a lifetime warranty from chevrolet to cover any expense incurred while owning such a piece of crap and for the humiliation I have incurred by being seen in a chevy because they are junk!!!!!or would like book value of vehicle so I can go buy a ford because they run for 250,000 miles plus!!! Not 125,000.

I'm having this problem now, I went to the dealer, and they want $280 just to look at it. I have sent it to another dealer and they have had the car for two days, but they cant find the problem. They even asked me to take the suburban home, but one block it happened again. Im so frustrated, and I spent so much on taxi going back an fourth. And no one knows the problem. I was driving down the road and it just dies. When I pulled off I put it in park and started again, I was able to go one more mile and bam it did it again. Why cant anyone figure it out? Why aren't there any recalls? I lost all control of the vehicle because the engine died. What does it take to get someone's attention? When the engine cut off at 69mph I pressed the brake which made it harder and harder to control the vehicle. There are no error codes or anything to describe the issue. I'm afraid to drive the car, for fear that I might slam into someone else. While I was driving, there was no detection of misfire or anything, it just died.

Fuel gauge malfunctioned on our 2003 chevy suburban. It indicated more gasoline was in the car than was actually in the tank.

2003 chevy suburban 1/2 ton four wheel drive inaccurate fuel level reading on gauge. Ran out of fuel multiple times. At first fuel tank was empty when gauge read 1/8 tank, now empty when gauge reads 1/4 tank. Have not replaced any parts yet as cost would be too much at this time. Just being aware of how much fuel we have used. No injuries or crashes, but this could lead to something serious on the road or expressway if the engine were to shut down because of lack of fuel.
