Hello, While driving my Chevy suburban last week as I was pumping gas with my two year old son in the back seat. I saw smoke leaking and rolling out from the bottom of my vehicle. I had shift the vehicle off and inspected thoroughly. I couldn’t see and understand where this was coming from. It wasn’t the engine block and no check engine lights had come on. So I let the vehicle cool and started her up. No issue until I was a mile or two from my family summer rental and all of a sudden the vehicle felt as though it slipped out of gear. I was left without any power and realized I was smoking again. I pulled or what I would call drifted to the break down lane and pulled my little man out of the vehicle. This happened on Saturday and after almost a week in the shop, the dealership sprung me a nice $5200 price for a transmission. I am now looking and seeing two different recalls for this vehicle. Ironically the these two issues look exactly like the two recalls they have for the power train.

Struts are leaking oil
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet suburban. The contact stated that his vehicle bounced up and down while driving at various speeds without warning. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the struts were worn and needed to be replaced. The contact spoke with adams buick gmc inc (1017 berea rd, richmond, ky 40475) where he was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
The electronic suspension struts have gone out for the second time. This seems to be a very common problem on these vehicles. The first time it happened was in 2017. It has happened again 2 years later. The vehicle is a 2015. Many people are having this problem according to the dealership and the repair shop.
Steering wheel locked and failed to turn after putting into drive when leaving a parking spot. Needed to put back into reverse to release the wheel. Steering column has since been making loud popping noise during small corrections while driving straight, at various speeds. Steering has been becoming increasingly less responsive and requiring more force. Especially during breaking. Fluid level is normal.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet suburban. While the vehicle was at robert chevrolet (236 south broadway, hicksville, ny 11801, (888)-619-7642) for brake service, the contact was informed that the front struts were leaking. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 49,000. *dt
Front struts are seized on the right side and leaking fluid on the left. Vehicle has less than 100k miles on it. Without this the car rides incredibly rough and keeps eating through tires.
While driving above 70 MPH, the vehicle begins to have vibrations. Have taken our suburban in for multiple repairs but their reasoning was the vehicle and tires were not balanced however after replacing the tires and getting a road forced balance it did not resolve the issue. It does not feel safe to drive above 70mph.
