What 1994 Chevrolet Suburban owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer was on the highway slowing down to brake for traffic & pedal went all the way to the floor. Vehicle wouldn't stop. Abs light or no other warning light came on. Dealer seemed to repair vehicle, but it hasnt been driven at highway speed to experience it again. Also, transmission seems to be straining when starting to take off. Dealer checked vehicle out, but found everything to be okay.
Windshield wipers work intermittently, the transmission failed while driving at 30 MPH without prior warning, which resulted in loss of power. Gm says vehicle is not included in recal of other vehicles of the same year, model and problems *ak
Abs system failed-it starts to kick in, then releases, sent us into intersection and near misses with cars-paid to have brakes replaced, didn't correct the problem (told it must be a problem with ABS computer system); wipers occasionally begin slowing and work intermittently; differential was out when we purchased the car and we had to pay for the parts, appears to be happening again 2 years later.
My wife placed k2500 suburban in park in garage. Removed 9 month old daughter from car seat, opened front driver's door and stepped from truck. The truck suddenly made a loud noise and began backing out of level garage, dragging them to driveway. They got clear of truck and it went down steep driveway across alley and up nieghbor's steep driveway through brick trash structure and into neighbors house. At time of recovery engine was running with emergency brake approximately 1/3 of the way to the floor. It is unclear whether it jumped from park to reverse or was never fully in park to begin with, however there was a significant time between vehicle being placed in park and beginning or roll backwards. In addition, at time it began to roll, no one was in the truck as my wife was standing next to it, and was caught by the open driver's door. Her right leg was caught by driver's front tire after being knocked to the ground.
Anti-lock brakes have been repaired several times, however still continue to have problems.
Rear axle seals leak from rear end and soak brake pads. Result: loss of brake effectiveness.
