I bought this vehicle used, the day I got it home it suddenly had no oil pressure. Chevy dealership put a "patch" on its boo-boo and sent me home. Now at 140,000 miles I once again have no oil pressure. Chevy says I need a new engine and of course I'm no longer under warranty. Approximate cost $6,700. This vehicle left me stranded on the side of the road twice. I have found hundreds of complaints of the exact same issue (same year, make and model) I'm having and chevrolet has yet to issue a recall on this defective motor. The company returned correspondence with me and informed me that their "calculator" says they cannot offer me any assistance. I now have a 4 month old son and over a foot of snow expected in my area over the next 24 hours. What happens if he is sick and I have no means to get him to a doctor because of this issue chevrolet won't own up to?

I am seeing an excessive oil consumption issue with my 2007 chevy suburban. From my measure it is consuming 4 1/2 qts of oil per 3000 miles. The dealer acknowledged that this is a "known" issue but didn't perform any repairs. I am instead performing an oil consumption test. That's fine but I now have a family vehicle that I cant trust for anticipation of engine failure/lock up or worse engine burn up or fire from a low oil condition.

While driving approx. 20 miles an hour there was a loud thud and the service engine light and the traction control light both came on at the same time. The engine began to miss on acceleration and shifting between 1st and 2nd gears was so rough it shook the truck. The truck is only 6 months old and has 9, 000 miles on it. The suburban was driven to the dealership for repairs it took 3 days for them to diagnose computer relay was affecting the traction control system and #7 cylinder had seized. The entire cam shaft is going to be replaced. Est. Work will take 7-10 days.
