The power tailgate comes down with such energized force that myself as a 5'10" adult athlete cannot stop it. Just yesterday it almost decapitated my 10-year old daughter, bruised her head and strained her neck about one year ago I took the suburban in to my dealer, hendricks chevrolet and they said there was nothing they could do about it. After yesterday's incident, I scheduled a service call to being it back on tomorrow, march 17th and told them if they did not fix it, we would what other owners are facing the same dangerous problem to force them to fix it, hence why we are contacting you. The vehicle is parked, in stationary position.

While driving saturday morning 10/26/2019, the front door applique on the driver's side was blown off. This applique has been noticed before raising away from the body. I previously owned a 2015 suburban. The door appliques on that model also had to be replaced a my expense. A price of $150.00 per door was quoted to me. As answer to the question as to whether or not the repairs would eliminate future problems, the serviceman felt nothing would change. It is very likely that I would be responsible for similar repairs in the future.

Brakes wont stop in carpool on second stop. They lock up. Ive almost run into the car in front and almost ran into a kid!! Dealership said it was just my brake pad and not covered byt I said it only happens in this one situation. Also - my screen/radio/movie just blacks out with no power for mo reason and fir days and then comes back. Screen was replaced once but its happening again. Had to pay 2 for to be fixed. And body molding has com off twice when front and bsck door open at same time. And window shield or attenta are letting water in my roof near my electrinic at rearview mirror. I dont have a sunroof, it should not leak! It only has 43k mikes and is warraty til 50k w extended warranty I bought but nothing is covered. First dealer told me I didnt have extended warranty. Then I went back and fkund my palerwork, now they concede I do. But they are now saying its brake pump, which they will fix, but I still have to pay labkr and new belts. They bave to remove belts to repair brake pump, which stretches belts - but they say thats not covered, nor he labor. Lots of moms with suburbans in carpool - this is a dangerous disaster waiting to kill children. Can someway say - mandatory recall? It was so scary the first time it happened but then I thought nothing bc at higher slpeds or when hitting gas betw brakes it diesnt happens. Only during school carpool.
