I believe it is bad business to have this many window motor complaints and not have issued a recall, in addition to have had this many problems on a year old vehicle is ludicrous. Chevrolet has lost a once loyal customer.
2000 Chevrolet Suburban visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Electrical- power windows inoperable for the first 8 months that we owned this vehicle, involved 5 trips to the service department before problem was fixed. Body design? Problem - tires did not clear vehicle body without rubbing, causing irreversible damage to the tires. To the extent that the dealer keeps recommending us to buy 4 new tires when ever they service our vehicle. Brakes - possible that there is a kink in the brake booster vacuum supply hose. I need to suggest to dealer that they consider this for a problem that were having with a noise and vibration coming from the front end when you press and release the brake pedal. Dealer recommends that we buy 4 new tires, the problem with that diagnoses is that we also hear the noise when the car is not moving! I wonder if they read their tsb's*ak (tiresize: p265/70r16)( dot number: tire size: p265/70r16 )
(during cold weather warm up) loading vehicle while running, with rear hatchback open, and having rear heater fan on higher blower settings: this allows exhaust from (right side of vehicle) to be pulled into the rear heat air intake vent (also on the right side, extreme rear of vehicle) and is distibuted to occupants in vehicle. We had an 11 month old placed in a car seat when this occurred (upper heat vents selected) which allowed carbon monoxide to be blown directly into his face.. I imagine this could occur during any cold weather idling situation with the rear heater fan setting on higher positions (such as loading groceries after shopping, while children sit inside). Thank you.

Whenever brakes are in use vehicle can slow up, but fails to stop right away. Stopping distance is increased. Had hit a wall & a fence due to a lack of braking power.

Battery failed. Vehicle stalled. Exhaust leaks and is loud. Air comes through the center vent when the floor control is on. 4-wheel drive would not engage due to a short in the module. Fuel sending unit was replaced. *ak

Consumer noticed deep rubbing sound from brakes, especially when decelerating between 40 and 20 MPH dealer replaced rotors, but after repair consumer had to pump brakes several times in order to get the brakes to work.
Electric window on both 2nd seat on left and right sides have failed due to failure of motor or regulator. Also, vehicle was vibrating when driving over 65 MPH due to firestone wilderness tire blowout.
