Sweet Ride

This is my third sub. You cannot beat it for hauling the family around the country. Pros, everything except for the transmission. My sub hunts for the correct gear. I use the manual transmission when starting up hills. GM has to create a transmission that shifts in milliseconds not seconds. It drives me crazy.

Nothing beats a Suburban for hauling lots of stuff

Our 78,000-mile 2015 Suburban LT continues to perform the tasks we bought it for without any issues. No repairs. We found an all black, leather interior, bench seat second row, LT - the bench seat is hard to find and much more useful. We move seven people, two dogs, and all the luggage for a holiday weekend 150 miles each way to the lake while getting 17-19 miles per gallon on the highway. This is our third Suburban and follows one Ford Expedition EL Limited. I liked the Ford but the redesigned-for-2015-Suburban rides better, is much quieter and gets much better gas mileage. The earlier Suburbans were very poorly designed and put together, very noisy (there must have been a time when Chevy thought owners WANTED to hear engine exhaust noise), and got 12-13 miles per gallon on the highway. It is amazing how much storage space is behind the third row seats when they are up. The quality of the leather is much better than before, and the seats are much more comfortable. GM has a hit with the driver's seat that vibrates different edges of the seat to let the driver know about proximity to objects and lane departure. Every steering wheel should put the heated wheel button on the wheel, but they don't. Cruise control is accurate and very easy to control with the left thumb on the steering wheel. The transition between 4-cylinder and 8-cylinder power is seamless and virtually undetectable unless you're looking at the information screen on the dash. One can't help but be aware of the many reported problems with 2015 Suburbans (even Consumer Reports finds great fault with them) but we have been lucky and love this vehicle. It is the Swiss Army Knife of family haulers.

Do your homework before buying a 2015-2019 Suburba

I've owned 16 GM Tahoe/Yukon/Suburbans over the past 20 years as I worked for GM out of college. My current 2015 Suburban has been by far the least reliable vehicle I've ever owned of any make or model. The first issue was that the transmission won't shift into or out of 4 wheel drive when the temps is below freezing. This is major problem as I live in Boston and got a 4wd car for the winter snow. This problem has not been fixed and I've been told there is no way to fix it. So far the car has had eight recalls which is higher than any other car I've owned. In addition I've had to replace the alternator, both AC compressors, tailgate actuators, side mirror motors, airbag, ECU, and the power steering pump. The car is currently at the dealership and I've been told now the high pressure fuel pump, the strut mounts and all 4 struts need to be replaced. The total cost to all of these repairs to me excluding what was fixed under warranty is well over $15,000. There is no point arguing with GM at to whether this car is a lemon as all of these problems are well documented and know to GM. They simply refuse to recall them as it affects every one of the 2015 models made. Do yourself a favor and steer well clear of the current model Suburban.

Exterior design it's very bad

The old model was way better because the exterior design didn't have any removable applique in it , from 2015 though now GM changed the exterior design trying to make this vehicle look better yes it is looking better but it's a bull trash because if you buy this vehicle get ready after your warranty expires to spend money on it because the little peaces outside located exactly by the doors they giving a name ( applique) going to missing all the times when you're driving in windy season, they are 6 off them and cost $74 each just for the parts I called GM about that I talked to someone he said I'm sorry about that because your warranty just expired. Guess what buyers longest you have those vehicles get ready to spend money to replace new applique at least every 6 months

The engine had issues. My cousin had to get rid of his for the same issue. He had to get a rod replaced.
