|
Not tested by NHTSA
|
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Description:
|
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with vacuum power, 4-wheel disc brakes. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 105, ""Hydraulic Brake Systems."" These vehicles were built with a kinked brake booster vacuum supply hose. These vehicles do not comply with requirements of FMVSS No. 105. Dealers will re-route the brake booster vacuum supply hose.

STRUCTURE:BODY:WHEEL WELL
|
|
Description:
|
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles have loose or missing rear wheelhouse plugs. Under certain vehicle operating conditions, exhaust gases can flow forward and accumulate in the rear wheelhouse. These gases could flow into the passenger compartment if the plug is missing or loose and could cause possible illness, unconsciousness, or death. Dealers will inspect the vehicle for loose or missing wheelhouse plugs and install new plugs if necessary.

Defective part or component:
|
BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:LINES:HOSE:NON-METALLIC
|
|
Description:
|
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a clearance condition between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill that could decrease to the point of allowing contact during the life of the vehicle. If contact occurs and the brake pipe becomes damaged, in half of the brake system there can be a loss of brake fluid and pressure. The brake warning lamp will be activated when the brake fluid level reaches the indicator limit. During braking, the pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer. If this occurs when stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur. Dealers will inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear. If there are signs of wear, this section of the brake pipe will be replaced with a new designed brake pipe section. If there are not signs of wear on the brake pipe, the dealer will install a spacer clip to ensure sufficient clearance between the brake pipe and the body cross sill.

INTERIOR SYSTEMS:PASSIVE RESTRAINT:AIR BAG IMPACT SENSOR
|
|
Description:
|
On certain pickup and utility trucks, some of these vehicles have an air bag sensing diagnostic module (SDM) which contains an anomaly that could result in the driver and passenger's air bag failing to deploy during certain frontal crashes. In a vehicle crash, front seat occupants may receive more severe injuries. Dealers will recalibrate the SDM on the affected vehicles. Owner notification is expected to begin late August 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
|
|
Description:
|
Certain trucks and sport utility vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies that contain fuel pump wire connectors that may overheat under certain operating conditions. If the ignition circuit wire is exposed, the fuel pump fuse will blow, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start condition. If sufficient heat is conducted to the pass-through connector, a hole in the connector may result, which may cause a ""service engine soon"" light to be illuminated during the emission system diagnostic routine. Fuel vapor, and in some cases, liquid fuel may leak out of the fuel tank through the hole in the connector body. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Also, if the ignition circuit or ground wire is exposed and shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, inaccurate fuel level readings may result. Dealers will remove the fuel tank, and remove the module reservoir assemblies from the tank, and install a new service kit free of charge. An interim letter to owners was mailed on may 25, 2005. The owners were re-notified on October 19, 2005, since parts are now available. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 and GMC at 1-866-996-9463.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
|
|
Description:
|
Certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles may experience unwanted antilock brake system (ABS) activation. This condition is more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas. This recall will be launched in the ""salt belt"" states of Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and west Virginia only. This can cause increased stopping distances during low-speed brake applications, which could result in a crash. Dealers are to remove the wheel speed sensor and thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor to the cleaned surface, grease the mounting surface, reinstall the wheel speed sensor, and check the peak-to-peak output voltage to ensure the wheel speed signal is within specifications. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9463.

Summary:
|
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com
We love the Suburban. It's a great vehicle for moving cargo, towing trailers, hauling people. Get sleepy on a long trip and you can simply pull over and stretch out in back.While Ford's giant Excursion has taken the Suburban's long-held position as the largest sport-utility vehicle, it doesn't match the smooth ride and all-around utility of the 'burb. Excursion is not a good choice if you're just moving people around. Suburban's greater maneuverability makes it a much more sensible choice for that role. |
|
Overview:
|
Chevrolet Suburban has been completely redesigned and re-engineered for model year 2000. Every piece of bodywork is new, though you'll have no trouble recognizing it. Its interior is all new and improved, but feels familiar. Its new engines offer substantially more power. Its rigid new frame and re-engineered suspensions offer excellent handling and ride quality. Last, but certainly not least, the brakes have been totally re-engineered for vastly improved pedal feel and stopping performance. Soup to nuts, the Suburban is a more refined vehicle than before. Yet it retains all those qualities we've loved since its introduction in 1935: a spacious interior, strong torque for towing, off-road capability, and a stable, comfortable ride for long-distance travel.
