Used 2017 Chevrolet Suburban Consumer Reviews
The worse transmission ever made.
This car is so beautiful, it is all we wanted. 2016 Chevrolet suburban LTZ. We did wait a few years to get it cheaper, we bought it on January 2021. Drove it for like 20 days, took a trip to Orlando and the bad memories started to happen. Transmission when out at 102000 miles, at the beginning of our vacation.. a total disappointment. I didn't get a extended warranty. I had owe 4 suburbans in the past from 2004, 2005 models.. had them from 150000 miles sold them running at 223000 miles.. never had a issues. Even tow my camper and never happened. This transmission are crap. I have to install a new one in Orlando FL that cost us $5400 dollars. Do not buy this vehicle without a extended warranty.

Tested a 2017, got a CPO 2016 instead
I found this CPO 2016 Suburban LT to be an excellent option, because prices for newer models are almost doubled. The 2016 Suburban LT handles like a big car, not like a truck. Although, there's a need to practice right turns and parking, because of its length. It takes a lot of gas and $$ to fill up the tank, but this machine compensates by providing the driver with hundreds of miles on the highways without a fillup.

I bought a 2017 Suburban Lemon
In November of 2018, I traded in my Hyundai Santa Fe, which I loved, for a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban for more room. The Suburban is a beautiful Charcoal Gray and seemed to be the perfect vehicle. I have had to take it back constantly for issues. The rear left seatbelt would not unlock tightened so tight on my 16 year old son that it cut his skin/stomach as he was trying to get it off him. I had to get my knife and cut him out of it because my husband and I could not free him. Scary! I had to take it back constantly for noises it was making. Rattling noises in the rear hatch door, pieces broken and rolling around in the door. Dealer Had to order new parts. Loud tornado noises which they said the tires the dealer had on them when I bought it were the wrong tires and were for off road terrain and not for highway that were causing the noise. I had to buy new tires; $1000 plus dollars. Noises rattling in driver door. Took it back 5 times for this noise before they ordered a new parts. Noises under the dash board sounded like a howling windstorm and a bird chirping squeaking sound in the engine under the hood. They said the fixed the seal in the windshield and ordered another part to fix and stop the noise. They said it was fixed $$800 the dealer split the cost because I had taken the vehicle in since I bought it for these issues they said they could not find. So I started recording the noises with my video on my phone. The same day I took it back because the bird chirping sounds were still there. It took them 2 days to find out and tell me the engine is bad and they are ordering parts to rebuild. I am in a rental now for more than 2 weeks and looking at 2 weeks more until the finish. My $200 business briefcase rolled slid out of the sloping trunk when I opened the rear door and broke. My plastic containers that I keep my insurance plans slid out and broke. This vehicle has more problems, too many to name! This is my 2nd Suburban. We had a 2009 that we absolutely loved. I am ready to turn it back in to them.
DO NOT BUY SUBURBAN!
I own a 2016 Suburban. So far, the AC has gone out ($800), the transmission failed ($4,500) & the interior lining is cracking. I have three friends who also bought 2016 - 2017 Suburbans that have had the AC go out. This automobile is a lemon. Do not buy.

Do not buy this vehicle
This truck has given us so many issues. We bought it used with 20k miles on it and we've had to replace the A/C compressor and now the transmission needs replacing at 83k miles. So extremely frustrating!!!
