What owners wrote
In oct. 2007 I purchased a brand new 2007 chevrolet suburban from gordon chevrolet in tampa florida, it had 20 miles on it. On december 9th 2008 while on my way home from work, at approximately 12:45 am, it exploded and was engulfed in flames. I received 2nd and 3rd degree burns and waited on the side of the road for close to 30 minutes for help to arrive. The suburban had absolutely no aftermarket changes or any type of modifications done to it.
I am seeing an excessive oil consumption issue with my 2007 chevy suburban. From my measure it is consuming 4 1/2 qts of oil per 3000 miles. The dealer acknowledged that this is a "known" issue but didn't perform any repairs. I am instead performing an oil consumption test. That's fine but I now have a family vehicle that I cant trust for anticipation of engine failure/lock up or worse engine burn up or fire from a low oil condition.
