While on a cross country road trip the AC stopped working in 109 degree Tucson. I noticed that the accelerator stopped responding while in stop and go traffic. After a long engine lag it suddenly worked again and we were off. Within minutes the AC stopped working and hot air started blowing out of the vents. I took it to the nearest dealership the next morning and was told that the condenser and belt had both broken. 5 hours and $825 later I was back on the road with AC. It seems crazy that such an expensive car with relatively low miles would require such a huge repair and the dealership agreed. Ggggrrrrr

Ac is not working , it is ac condensor , but they don't have the part to change it . How reliable cars does Chevy makes . That was the biggest mistake . I had ever buy Chevy. either I am going to drive the car without ac or park the car and rent one.

As for business purpose I use it , I can't rent one . I talked to from corporate office with senior advisor Kevin , he told me 4 to 8 weeks for the part . I told him it is American car . He told me there is 30 people head of me , so it is common problem and it should be fixed as recall which is Kevin wasn't agree. He was saying original part is manufactured defected, I believe it is manufactured defected , they should be recall. Or change it free of charge . Bad part is there is no after market ac delco or other . So I don't know what to do.

I wish I can trade the car for fair value but they don't honored by dealer . It looks like they want to get the car for junk value.

This not the first problem.

I can't believe a compressor freezes up after two years. I have never had a vehicle do this even after 10 years.

My a/c quit blowing cold air all of the sudden on April 14th. I took my suburban into the dealership on April 17th and was told my condenser was cracked and needed to be replaced. I don't really understand how my condenser was cracked when I haven't been in any wrecks. Seeing as I need and air conditioner with it being hot in Oklahoma, i pay for the parts and labor but am told the part is on backorder and they will call me when it becomes available. I do not get a phone call until late on Friday May 12th! I was told my part is finally in and I can bring it in on Monday to be fixed. I expect more out of a vehicle that I paid that much for! I have bought way cheaper cars and have NEVER had an a/c go out. Especially at 64K miles! When I get the call that my car is finished, I get hit with my front shocks have failed a test and need replaced! That will be a whole different complaint. Kinda feel like I bought a very expensive money pit...

Waiting on the truck to deliver the parts...if it's a National problem well why don't GM do a National recall on 2015 Suburban LT. The dealership will not even give me a loaner car. Contacted GM, I was told, "sorry". Have had 3 batteries installed less than two years... I bought the last battery because the dealership took over four months to give me a new one. Applicators has been replaced. Roof rails has been replaced. New window for tailgate been replaced. Interior has flaws. I made this purchase April 7, 2015 and all this has taken place before two years. I live in West Palm Beach and without an air conditioning unit in the car. Plus I am a disabled veteran that have medical problems. Mostly COPD and artificial hips. Need help to bring litigation against GM.

Suburban LTZ

On trip from Houston to Austin Texas. AC stopped working mid trip and throughout the weekend stay in Austin. Very disappointed this being my first American car. I have Japanese cars in my garage manufactured as far back as 2006, 2008 and 2012. NO AC ISSUE. Wanted to buy American. Now see me. $79K car and the AC quits after 2 years? This is unheard of. The 2015 Chevy suburban car was bought 7/4/2014. I read about the plastic body parts flapping in the wind on the highway. I got through that. Fixed by dealers, but Steering wheel noises never fixed Seriously? One owner put it accurately. I have been to the dealership for one problem or another these past 2 years. But AC? I don't think I can ignore this one. It's time to go back to what works. German or Japanese. Don't get me wrong. I love this car. Until now. AC does not quit just like that. Something is terribly wrong here. My faith in the car will be restored or not, after my appointment with the dealer. Otherwise I think I should cut my losses. Sell the stock.
