The drive chain actually does have 100,000 warranty on it ...... lol I give up I was asking for if anyone else has had these issues wasn’t really thinking I’d get everyone’s two cents on that they needed to share “opinion” or just be negative in what they think they need to say . I guess follow all the genius’s on here everyone don’t buy anything nice and expect to fix it with stuff they have no clue they just will be negative or find anything to say to be a smart ass . lol I’ll just go back to occasionally coming on here again this site use to be far better when people could talk and share stuff and thoughts and not have the way people comment on stuff . The be little and self righteous people on here just blow my mind but I guess that’s what you get with things as they come more popular I’ve been on this site pretty much since it started it was far different and was better to come and talk about things as a cyclone fan base and community.
Problems with a 2015 Chevy Suburban

I understand your frustration but issues like this are better addressed with a google search, yes cyclone nation is big and growing but this is a very particular issue you are looking for guidance on. It’s just too focused for the general audience here. The best you would get is yes, I have one and mine has been fine.m or whatever. You have to google and check Chevy forums. Beyond that, cars and general vehicle inquiries have been a long disputed topic on here (mostly financial) and lastly, I’m not sure if you’ve been paying attention to the news for the last 6 ish months? People are just on edge rightly or wrongly, a guy coming onto a forum and talking about 6k in mechanical on 70k vehicle isn’t gonna gain much sympathy (+ talk of truck as well). People are struggling and you might not get a car talk like response. Sorry dog
Come on, dude, you're trying to get the car manufacturer to do something about parts wearing out on a vehicle with 100k miles on it and getting mad at people who are calling you out for it. They have a Reddit forum for you, called Choosing Beggars. You can't drive a car into the ground (and I would suggest putting 20k miles on it a year is driving it into the ground. I've put 30K miles on my car in 5 years.) and expect the manufacturer to give a rip about your problems.
Yes, at 100,000 miles, stuff will be worn out. On the other hand, there is absolutely no reason for a car under 100,000 miles and 5 years of age to have as many AC problems as the OP's vehicle has had.
My suggestion... google search to see if others have had similar issues with the AC, and look into the possibility of a class action lawsuit if it seems to be a quite common problem.

Depends on what your job and responsibilities are 20K isn't that hard to put on depending on your occupation. Congratulations on having a job that you don't have to travel much for.
My gosh you’re an idiot the things that have had issues are not things that wear out they are faulty they even have said that so stop telling me this stuff when you obviously know zero what your talking about . Have you ever had a antenna wear out or a radiator part that helps the a/c work that sits inside of the dash that has zero moving parts and if that’s all you drive you hardly go anywhere with your car so your opinion really doesn’t matter in any of this . To put in 15k mikes a year that means you would only have to drive a total of 40 miles a day and that’s not including taking your car on further trips . So stop trying to say I’m trying to make a company take care of parts that wear out ok.
I understand you on that and you’re right I knew it was a shot in the dark if anyone on here has the same issues with their suburban. I see a bunch of them in the Ames community and people at Iowa state games so I figured it was a shot in the dark .
I tend to agree with this. If (IF) the OP performed all the scheduled maintenance and didn’t run the dog**** out of it he should expect to have had less issues.
Man, I'm telling you, its probability and randomness and the Law of Large Numbers. If GM built 100k trucks exactly like yours - and they probably did - then with a 0.1% failure rate there would be 100 unlucky people who had AC issues. You just ended up on the wrong side this time. Compare that to your 97 Ford which was part of the 1% that had no problems for over 200k miles.
On new or refreshed models, reliability will always be a little lower. That's a risk you take regardless of the sticker price. During that first year they learn what's wrong and fix it for the 2nd and 3rd year. That's the auto industry.

Thanks for showing this I guess I’m just one of the unlucky ones here the problems I listed are all on here...
I get your point OP. You expect better for $70k. Unfortunately that's the problem. Burbs new aren't worth the 80k sticker price. But Chevy is selling em and people are still buying em. Same with Explorers. Bored one night and drove thru the lot, $65k for an Exploder new. I would run not walk away from both those vehicles.
we live in a town of less then 1300 in NE Iowa even the houses that basically need gutted and completely redone just to be livable (broken bathrooms, foundation issues, missing cabinets, etc.. were still $50-60k. we were looking for 3 bedrooms which is a pretty standard house. A repo is also far different then a regular market house and often sells for far less then actual value. If it wasn't for needing a house right away and using VA loan we would have looked at a few repos ourselves.
newer vehicles 100k should honestly be nothing to them besides maintenance, have taken multiple vehicles now over that with little more then basic maintenance and a few minor repairs, but what he has said about AC is an issue but as others have pointed out it was a 1st year after a redesign
20k really isn't much, we are at just under 19k on our 2020 bought this weekend last year even. would easily have more miles on it if didn't sit for a month due to the fiancee's work shutting down, and then the family canceling the trip to SC we had planned on last month. Currently will probably burn through the 100k power train warranty by year 5 ourselves.
Part of the problem is that GM and Ford have kind of painted the consumer into a corner. If you are looking for a vehicle with a third row there is no longer a true base package vehicle. The prices on new and used vehicles are absolutely out of control. I look at my families situation and I really don't have a choice other than paying more for what we need. All of our family is out of town( at least two hours) and we have two kids so we have to have space and a reliable vehicle. I'm not putting my family on the road in the middle of winter in a $hit box that has over 150K on it. I'm the exact consumer that the auto industry is targeting...
The only thing you can do really is talk with your wallet. There are certain car brands that have been known for fewer issues over time. I'm driving an old Toyota with 200k miles on it and just spent a bunch of money on it as I expect it to last quite a bit longer. But these are both expected breakdowns (rack and pinion seals and worn out struts) and stupid critter damage chewing up parts. Some brands go for style or brand recognition over long life.
Prices of all sorts of things are going a little wacky right now. Don't look at Lumber prices.

20,000 miles a year isn't driving your car into the ground. I put 40k a year on mine and usually drive them until 300K plus, now that is driving them into the ground.
20k per year is probably between the 80th and 90th percentile though. I'm not saying its unreasonable, but compounded over a handful of years it results in a lot more wear compared to other vehicles the same calendar age.
When I was kid, I used to go with my grandpa down to a bakery in rural western Iowa on Saturday mornings and sit around a table listening to old men drink coffee and argue and b*tch about this that and the other. This thread feels a lot like that.
The expectation is 12-15k/
My wife drives a Traverse because I couldn’t talk her into a minivan. While the seating may be comparable, I’m not aware of a minivan with cargo capacity that is anywhere close to that, much less a Suburban.
