This page covers 1 recall and 17 owner complaints for the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban 1500.
For the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban, engine complaints make up the bulk of what owners report, covering a range of symptoms from sudden power loss at highway speed to rough idling with multiple warning lights appearing at once. Several owners describe the engine shutting down without warning, no prior symptoms, no gradual decline, requiring the vehicle to be towed. One isolated report describes failed rod bearings that led to a full engine replacement. Powertrain complaints add a smaller cluster of concerns around drivability. A separate thread involves the electronic brake control module: multiple owners report complete brake failure, including the inability to use the emergency brake, with at least one dealer replacing the module after the event. The brake failure reports are among the more consistent patterns outside the engine category.
