  • Beast of Burden - 1999 GMC Suburban
    By -

    I purchased this 99 GMC K2500 7.4 Suburban new and the only positive comment I can make is that it still runs strong at 125,000 miles. The following problems all started shortly after the 3 year warranty, leather seats started peeling, wipers almost never work or stop in the same place, radio buttons pop off, doors out of alignment and lots of wind noise, replaced fuel pump so many times I cut a port hole above the fuel tank, eats brakes and rotors (drilled rotors last longer), replaced a/c compressor and hoses, center console squeaks, replaced radiator twice, replaced inner and outer door handles at least 2-3 times, window motors twice and cannot keep power steering hoses from blowing out.

  • Garbage - 1999 GMC Suburban
    By -

    This is my sixth Suburban and by far the worst. I custom ordered this rolling trash bin and it was built during a strike. Continual electrical and braking problems since day one. Delivered with a broken windshield! Air-conditioning reliably fails. Paint clearcoat is falling off vehicle in chunks. Seats were designed by future interrogators at Guantanamo. Rear-window fluid dispenser immediately plugged and hasnt worked since. Rattles and squeaks like its from 1949, frame is weak and twists easily. A dangerous vehicle for the inexperienced.

    For what we paaid I found to interior to be on the cheap side. The controls for the windows are not in the most ideal placement. We just have not been happy with the vehicle. For the 60,000 mile service, there was $1800 of work before they started the service. Thank God for Extended Warranties. Before 60,000, I had to replace shocks and rotors. Did not have these problems with my Expedition. The only thing the Suburban has going for it is the cargo area, you have cargo space and your third row seating.
