On February 28, 2026 at approximately 6:08 PM, while traveling at approximately 40 mph on S. Third Street Extension near Route 119 in Mebane, NC, my 2026 Chevrolet Suburban High Country experienced a sudden catastrophic drivetrain failure at 2,010 miles with no prior warning symptoms. A loud bang was heard, and the vehicle decelerated sharply. Dashboard warnings appeared for transmission and steering service. The vehicle continued approximately 60 feet while producing severe grinding noises before all four wheels locked completely and the engine stalled. The vehicle was rendered completely inoperable and stranded in the roadway. My wife was a passenger. OnStar was contacted and dispatched local law enforcement to provide traffic control while the vehicle was disabled. OnStar also arranged emergency towing to Modern Chevrolet in Burlington, NC. This failure is consistent with the transmission control valve body defect covered under the federal safety agency Recalls 24V797 and 26V085 affecting GM 10-speed automatic transmissions (10L80). GM has been aware of this defect since at least 2024 yet vehicles continue to experience catastrophic wheel lockup.

I recently experienced the conditions described by the gm recall 14515 in my 2009 chevrolet suburban 1500. In the past 6 weeks, the car has failed to start. The first incident required nearly 10 minutes of starting the car before it would start. Once started the car was fine. It was a cold start - first thing in the morning. About a month later it failed to start gain, after being parked for approximately 2 hours. Again, after about 10 minutes, the truck started and drove fine afterwards. Today - about 2 weeks after the 2nd incident, the truck stalled while my wife was at a stop light. It took 6-7 attempts to start before the truck again fired up and was able to be driven. This condition is exactly what is described in gm recall 14515. However, gm is saying that my vehicle (VIN: [xxx]) is not covered in the recall. I think that an error and disagree with how the federal safety agency and gm determined which cars are affected.... I am appalled that gm is able to get away with this.

Contacted dealer in 2016 about takata recall. Told me the parts were not available. Contacted dealer in oct 2017 again, told the parts were still not available. I believe the general motors has had sufficient time to acquire replacement air bag inflator and that they are deliberately stalling hoping the problem will simple go away. I need my truck fixed so that my wife can ride with me on trips.

Bought this vehicle a few days before the first incident. I drove it home from over two hours away, drove it all around the day before, no problems. Then I was driving down a bypass at about 60 miles an hour and the engine shut off! I had no power steering, nothing! I was able to pull over, shut it off and once I turned it back over it was just fine. So I cautiously started driving, it happened again a few miles down the road only this time it stalled then regained power and quickly shut off again. Once engine was turned off and restarted, it was fine, it did this to me 5 times within 5 miles. I almost got hit two of those times by other vehicles, once when I was turning onto a road. I am glad my kids were not in it. I am scared to drive on two lane roads without room to pull over.
