Used 2015 Chevrolet Suburban Consumer Reviews
2,500 Mile In My 2015 Suburban - A Memo To The Brand Team
Just rolled over 2,500 in my 2015 Suburban LTZ 4x4 (MSRP just over $ 71k). I have driven a Suburban since 1995 and I think this my 16th or 17th. LIKES 1) The comfort of the ride and (lack of) wind noise at speed is unbelievably quiet and in spite of the mass of the vehicle it is taunt. Have owned higher dollar Mercedes and BMW sedans and this Burb is better than both of them. 2) Gas mileage is def up from my last one (2013 LTX 4x4). Trip computer actually showed one segment at 20.4 MPG (highway at 75 cruise). Around town is right at 14 MPG...which is an improvement.
Worst vehicle I have ever owned
Chevy knows the A/C condesors are defective but refused any warranty when ours cracked at 51K miles. $74K and i get two years out of the A/C? They wanted $1800 to repair it (got it fixed for $800). My 1999 Expedition that this junk replaced still has A/C with 188K miles on it. The haptic sensors in the drivers seat do not work. The second row blue ray screen does not work (the third row one still wolrks for now). The wireless charger does not work. The exterior trim pieces on the door (verticle ones behind windows) all came off (fixed those with a little two-part epoxy). The transmission shifts hard occasionally and is slyuggish. The rear cargo area is terrible unless you like that it is angled so stuff constantly falls out when you open the rear. The fourth time i opened the sunroof it tore the baffle that seals the sides when you tilt glass up. Dealer said it was out of warranty. This is my 15th vehicle and my first, and last, Chevrolet product. It tows my trailer wonderfully and the 12 speaker Bose stereo sounds nice except when trying to listen to Sirrius as the satelite reception is awful. Total disappointment.

Rural Suburban driver
I bought a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban 2LT, used in 2017 with 17,000 miles on it. The car was nice and it seemed like a good deal at the time because the brand new ones were pushing $60,000-$70,000. The car seemed very nice until the a/c unit stopped working to which the dealer where I bought it said "a slight leak in the line we fixed it". This is interesting now because I took it in for regular service (free oil changes) and I asked them to top off the freon because the a/c was not blowing cold. The service advisor came out when the car was finished and said "it seems like one of the a/c lines is bad so I don't know how long this will last", and yet he still charged me $108.00 to refill the freon. When I had barely had the car 4 or 5 months the trim piece on one of the windows came loose and was getting worse by the day. The service advisor at the dealer flatly refused me on the chevy warranty and the extended warranty the con man up front sold me (which was also worthless). Luckily a deer ran into my side and while in the bodyshop they fixed all of these trim pieces called appliques' and I haven't had a problem since. I have experienced some of the other problems that have been reported here like wind noise and sometimes the engine does bog down searching for a gear which wasn't a big deal but is now. The biggest thing is that I tried to trade it this past June because of the 0% and the look of the new silverados but the chevy dealers I tried to deal with were giving me trade in values at around $20,000!!! I paid twice that for used and I understand that I will not get absolute top dollar for trade in but it could have been a lot closer. I was looking at another new car last January and I was given a trade offer of $28,000. which was much better and a lot closer to what I had in my mind. The car is beautiful and I really enjoy it and I have gone to great lengths to upgrade it and protect it(carwash memberships, weathertech mats and rain guards, hood protector). My most recent problem is rail dust rust spots. I only know this because I have a good friend that had the same thing on his 2015 Silverado. When a car is shipped by rail the hot steel wheels on steel rails cause hot particles to rise and embed in the clear coat on the vehicle. The friend had it repaired at the dealership for free. I didn't even know this was a thing until I searched it. I still love the car despite all of these things and the other things that make me nuts(the valve tick at idle, the faulty telemetrics, etc. The plan was to drive this for four more years until retirement as I believe it or not, commute with it(cruise control set at 74 mph gets me 19-20 average). Again, I love the car but not the build quality, the monstrous depreciation by giant chevy dealers, and the nit picky stuff too numerous to mention here. If I were to by another SUV of this size (which I wouldn't) It would probably be a Toyota Sequoia. I will likely buy a Toyota Tundra or Tacoma. I am a life long GM/Chevy man but this suburban has totally let me down and will likely be my last chevy. The wife just traded her Buick for a volvo and sooner or later I will trade this Chevy. I still have the car and I now have 110,000 miles on it and was ready to trade again and getting a much better trade in due to the used car shortages but I am again keeping it, maybe not til the wheels fall off but still definitely not buying another. The new suburbans are beautiful but way too expensive for me.

A/C Condenser
2015 Chevy suburban LTZ, AC condenser went out on the truck, so no ac, for this newer version suburban...no support from dealership, not from Gm..... therefore, I can't give this vehicle a 5 🌟 rating........ maybe when Gm do a recall to fix this problem, my view will change, until then...be safe and careful when choosing the GM brand.

lower body panels flimsy
112K miles. So fare very reliable. Stealership want 850$ for antenna. I replaced it for 50$. Display software expires and 3rd party company forces you to pay 120 $ for one time thumb drive upgrade. Front and rear lower body panels hit curbs and drag in snow, always slighty askew. Tow package works great on 5,500lb boat. Just toss everything in back no need for packing
