2024 Chevrolet Suburban Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Nervous….. But thrilled.
I’ll be honest. We’re a Honda family. For years & years we have purchased nothing but Honda for the reliability, comfort & fuel economy. However, we now possess the need to tow, and Honda didn’t have a viable V8 option. After extensive research on large 3 row SUVs. We decided on the Suburban. For the 75k price tag, I admit, it could have more to set itself apart from the competition…. I mean, no LED brake lights?? Come on Chevy. With this being said, this SUV is awesome, we just turned over 18,000 miles, and I am blown away. Fit & finish is spectacular, and they really had a family in mind when crafting these SUVs. Driving it is pure fun, the roar of the engine along with its cloud like maneuverability are incredible. I will also add, the Bose audio surround sound is mesmerizing, far & away the best speaker system I’ve ever had. Why am I nervous? Reliability - reliability - reliability. After reading about others experiences with their 2021 model year Suburbans I am terrified. I do have the 100k mile bumper to bumper extended warranty. But lifter failures, leaks, suspension issues all appear to plague the 21’ - I am just hoping we got the good of the bunch, and they worked out issues for 22. We will have to see I guess. 9.5/10 EXCELLENT SUV for those who need a family hauler, as well as a tow machine, and want to do it with class. UPDATE: The only repair we have had is our windshield wiper motors went out @15,000 miles. Other than that it has been an incredibly solid SUV!

Diesel Suburban - Best SUV Yet!
We purchased a 2022 Diesel Suburban; it's been everything we expected and more. Very roomy, comfortable, yet handles more like a mid-sized SUV instead of the large BEAST it is. Diesel is the way to go too; great mileage, we're getting around 22 - 25 in mixed town driving, and closer to 30 on the freeway at about 75MPH. I expect it to get better as we get more miles on it and when summer blended diesel fuel is available, still winter here in Michigan and the "winter blend" is still being sold a the pump; slightly less BTU's in the winder blend to keep it from gelling in cold weather. An absolutely outstanding vehicle with nicer performance, comfort, power and amazing fuel economy. NOTE: Diesel was not an option in the selection, but this one is the 3.0 Straight 6 Diesel.

OTA Updates & Black Infotainment Screen
Twice now we have been stranded by our 2022 Suburban. The first time was because of a OTA update. We left the vehicle out of the garage to maintain a signal but the next morning the battery was drained and update was not able to complete. Two days ago my wife started the car to go to work and the infotainment screen was black. That afternoon the LoJack app notified me that the battery was draining. My wife drove it home and the infotainment screen was still black. This morning the car would not start again. We have not had this car a year- my 2005 Accord with 300,000 miles is more reliable than this heap of junk. One more OTA/software problem and we will be utilizing Virginia's Lemon Law Act. Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy a Chevrolet Suburban.

Nothing but issues
I bought my 20023 Chevy Suburban with only 4 miles on it. I drive it from the dealership 24 miles close to my house and stopped running on me, just shut off and would not start back up. I had to have to it towed, mind you it only had 28 miles on it. Come to find out that the battery was shot and I needed to get a new one already. Then all the censers started to go off for no reason. Called the dealership and they said it needed a system update. Did the update but the problem was still happening. My radio wouldn’t come on at all. I called Chevy and they said it needed a new head unit, I took it in but they said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Now when I try to use my wiper fluid the motor is broken and will not work even with the fluid full. In my honest opinion I wouldn’t spend the $65K on the Suburban. Not worth the money or the hassle with the [non-permissible content removed].

Beautiful but so many problems
I have had my 2022 z71 Suburban for 3 months now. My surround view and back up camera system has worked for a total of about 1 week during the time frame. GM and dealership has known about the issue since I purchased, no end in sight. Also had a recall already that was taken care of. Paint is chipping on front tow hook. Love the look, but beyond frustrated with issues after spending $74K.
