The passenger side "sway bar", "stabilizer bar", or "torsion bar" (unsure of true name) came undone while my wife, four kids, and my mother were driving in the vehicle. I know several mechanics and none had ever heard of this happening to such a new vehicle. The dealership fixed the vehicle with no problem. They had never heard of this sort of thing happening either. I bought the vehicle used from the same dealership and they stated the previous owner "must have lowered the front end." I have parked next to other Suburban and mine was equal in heigth to the other vehicles. I feel this is just an excuse to why there was such a failure in the suspension of the vehicle. Luckily my wife was only travelling at approximately five miles an hour when the thing fell apart. I can't even imagine what might have happened at highway speed. Prior to purchasing the vehicle I spoke to the previous owner. The vehicle was used by his wife and was traded because she wanted something newer. I asked if anything had been done to the vehicle he replied "I didn't even own it for a full year" and that nothing was done to the vehicle. I felt the need to report this because I feel I may have come very close to loosing my family, and if I report it it could be researched to insure that this type of thing doesn't happen to anyone else.
