What owners report

This has almost caused us to get in an accident several times now. While driving and taking a curve or while gradually turning, the power steering failed. The steering wheel was extremely difficult to turn, and my wife could barely turn it. The message “Steering Assist Reduced – Drive with Care” was displayed. When we pulled over and turned off the engine, and then later re-started the Suburban, the power steering worked again. The dealer conducted a diagnostic on it and could not find the problem at first. They later said the Power Steering Gear needed to be replaced. This is a very dangerous problem.

I experienced a serious brake failure in my 2015 Chevrolet Suburban with 112,500 miles that nearly resulted in a collision. After approximately 90 minutes of driving, I pulled into a parking lot and attempted to stop. Without warning lights or prior symptoms, the brake pedal suddenly became extremely hard to press, and the vehicle nearly failed to stop. I had to stomp on the brake pedal to stop. The same dangerous condition occurred while reversing into a parking space. This created a serious risk of injury to myself and others. The problem appeared primarily at low speeds. After sitting for several hours, the brakes seemed normal again. This intermittent failure is especially dangerous be

2024 Suburban bought brand new. Service Transmission Warning lights up. Been to the dealership shop about this 4 times now. They replaced the TCM with kit, seals, & tranmission fluid. Problem occurred again 200 miles later. Dealership just stringing us along without actually fixing it!
