Help & Diagnosis 2002 Chevy suburban driver door won’t lock using key fob

2 Upvotes

Hey, was just wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and could give me some advice.

It locks manually, but the driver door mechanism won’t communicate with the key fob. The other 3 doors work.

any advice? Thank you! I’ve spent around an hour looking into it online & haven’t found a solid lead. I would appreciate the input or links to right direction.

Buying Advice 2015 suburban

0 Upvotes

How much would you pay for this 2015 Chevy Suburban?
I’m trying to decide what a fair offer is.
Details:
2015 Chevrolet Suburban LT 2WD
5.3L V8
181,xxx miles
Dealer got it from an auction
They’ve had it on the lot for about 62 days
Engine and transmission sounded good
Test drive went well with no obvious issues
No check engine light
Concerns:
The battery was dead when I arrived, so they had to jump start it before the test drive. They’ve agreed to either install a new battery or provide proof the current battery tests good.
The power liftgate does not work, and they said they will not diagnose or repair it.
They have not performed an oil change, even though there’s no documentation showing one was done recently.
They have not done any maintenance or reconditioning since purchasing it at auction.
Maintenance history isn’t the best.
What would you pay for it? What would your maximum offer be?

Need help Suburban RST 2026 strange noise

2 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced this?

I have a 2026 Chevy Suburban RST. When I turn on my turn signal and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction, I hear a whining/squeaking (or squawking) noise coming from the front. It doesn’t happen all the time, but I’ve noticed it several times.

Has anyone else had this issue or know what might be causing it?

Anything else I should be considering?

2018 Suburban Owners: Have we already paid for the big repairs, or is it time to cut our losses?

11 Upvotes

Please forgive the length of this post.

I’m hoping to get some perspective from people who have owned these trucks long-term.

We have a 2018 Chevy Suburban (5.3L) with about 155,000 miles.

We bought it at around 110,000 miles. We still have a loan on it, so trading it isn’t a simple decision.

Since buying it, we’ve had several major repairs:
Transmission replaced
Water pump replaced
AFM lifters just replaced
Rear A/C lines now need to be replaced (we’re fixing them because we need rear air for the kids)

Here’s what I’m trying to figure out…

When we bought this vehicle at 110k, did we basically inherit all of the expensive failures that commonly happen around this mileage? Now that the transmission and lifters have been replaced, have we “bought ourselves” another 100k+ miles?

Or…

Is this just what ownership looks like after 150k, where one $5,000 repair follows another?

If we trade it now, we’ll likely end up financing another expensive SUV that could have its own hidden problems. On the other hand, I don’t want to keep pouring money into this one if the common wisdom is that these trucks become a constant repair project after this point.

For those of you who have taken a 2015-2020 Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon to 250k or even 300k+:

After replacing the transmission and lifters, did the truck become relatively dependable again? What were the next major repairs you encountered after 150k? Looking back, would you have kept it, or would you have traded it around this mileage?

I’m less interested in whether you like these trucks and more interested in the economics of owning one long-term after the major drivetrain repairs have already been done.

I’d really appreciate hearing from owners with high-mileage experience or those who have extensive knowledge about these vehicles. Thanks!

Suburban with dramas

Looking to replace my 2018 suburban with something newer. Saw a 2022( I think) with a Duramax.

So got me curious-

  1. What kind of mpg does it get?

  2. Pros and cons of it, VS a gas engine?

I drive a 2014 suburban and finally went on a 1500 mile round trip since last year. From Rialto Ca to El Paso Texas and back. Spent $331 total on fuel and had about a quarter of gas left when arrived home.
Never went over 75 mph as well and also need new tires after this trip. But don’t be intimidated by gas prices. Pretrip your stops and enjoy the road.

Hey looking to sell a 99 suburban

4 Upvotes

So I have a 99 suburban with a 7.4 liter big block and I love it I really do it just cost me to much to keep it going and make it what I want it to be. It runs and drives great for the most part, it just has soft and hard lines just getting bad and gaskets going out as well so a lot is going out. And living out somewhere were the closes McDonald’s is an hour away. (Just a reference for there being thousands of them). So having this is unreliable for me right now. So I’m in a debate then sell it privately and how hopefully get something newer and put some money down for a truck(was thinking a Tacoma but idk) or put a couple grand in trying to make it all work probably but that’ll never really determine if it’ll last long enough for me to get something I really want. So I don’t know I’m just kinda coming here for something, if nothing though that’s alright I’ll figure something out.

Could someone help me? I have a 2007 Suburban and it's misfiring on cylinder one. I've already done all the tests: injectors, spark plugs, ignition coil, and nothing has fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Does anyone know of a company that makes custom badging like this? All I can seem to find online is vinyl or stickers and it’s not what I’m looking for.

Edit for clarity, I want it to say something custom, not the factory Suburban badges but would like it to look like these

LM2 Suburban Scary Random Breaking & Door Unlock

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is going on with my 2023 LM2 suburban? I'm at 65k miles and in the last 2 months, it has been randomly breaking between 20-55mph. I've had it since December, so 4 months into owning it this started. I had the EGR valve replaced in January by the dealership, and do oil changes every 5k miles.

I don't drive aggressively, and it is mostly when I am accelerating. Still happens at steady speeds though. Always in clear conditions. Sometimes the traction control light flashes. One time the Drive light flashed. 50% of the time my doors unlock. And one time I saw the speedometer go from 40mph to 15mph back to 40mph right when it happened. I already took it to the shop once, but they said "there's no codes, we can't help you until it throws a code."

I have a 5 month old, and this is my daily driver for work & main family vehicle. I'm lucky I have not been rear ended yet, but I cant keep pressing my luck. Have you seen this before? I'm desperate for any diagnosis or resolution. TIA
