Steering · Suspension
Total strut failure at 58k miles; making car hard to maneuver. Dealership wants $1900 to fix the mag ride suspension, no powertrain coverage at all for this issue. Also, a bearing in the steering column has failed and there is no warranty coverage from that either.

Suspension
Suspension bounces so badly that the vehicle becomes unstable and difficult to control. Failure happened around 75,000 miles while traveling on the interstate and is a very common failure among the tahoe, suburban, and yukons. Gm has failed its customers by not covering the defective suspension under these vehicles. This will be the last gm vehicle that i purchase, i have had nothing but trouble from this car.
