What owners wrote

2002 chevrolet surburban engine stalled while being driven at 70MPH down freeway. Was able to get engine restarted while still rolling. No repair made yet, service technician said many possible causes and would be easier to diagnose if it would not start. Wife's 2000 model chev suburban had almost identical problem 01/21/2002.

Reported at 54,400 miles, September 2006

While driving on the houston tollway at 65 MPH, my 2002 suburban suddenly and without warning lost power and the engine shutdown. I managed to get the vehicle onto the shoulder without incident after attempting to restart the engine while trying to steer clear of traffic. The vehicle would not start and was towed to lone star chevrolet in houston, texas. The bill was 1045.10.
