2001 Chevrolet Suburban consumer reviews

I owned one for about 6 or 7 yrs, mainly for vacations, commuting kids, going too the lake. one of the best riding trucks i have ever had!! Never had second thoughts about filling it with gas and driving anywhere in the country. 2000 and 2001 best year model ive seen in a long time!! With regular maintanance never had a major malfunction. Kids grew up and it became more of a backup vehicle, so i sold it, I had every intention of getting 500,000 miles out of it before any engine or transmission issue. I bet its still on the road today. I remember one december getting snow and ice, streets were terrible but 4x4 got us everywhere we needed to go. The kids had a great time shopping and there we no lines at the checkout!!

My first and definitely last GM product. I normally own Toyota, Honda, and Nissan cars but when we needed a big SUV for the family it was this or Excursion, we liked the Suburban better (at the time). Now we absolutely hate it. Several major defects straight from the factory. Those were repaired under warranty by the rude Chevy service department. Since then, it has been nothing but problems ever since. Electrical problems, mechanical problems, leaks, air conditioner, cheap pieces breaking off, transmission problem, starter, alternator, service engine light, cooling fan, cd player and radio, fuel pump, you name it it has had to be replaced. Our Nissan Pathfinder we had before this went 125k miles before a single problem. The piece of junk Suburban is the completely opposite. And we didn't get a lemon, my good friend got a 2000 Suburban and had 3 times as many problems as us. Left them stranded all the time. The y got rid of it shortly after warranty ended, they only owned for a few years. I am so glad we finally replaced ours. Aside from disgraceful quality, it is slow and has poor handling even for a large SUV. Braking distances are frighteningly long. The front seats are comfortable, but 2nd and 3rd rows are horrible after 15 minutes. As usual, the Americans were behind with technology and the features and amenities on this are disappointing. The only good thing about the Suburban is all of the trunk room. The whole family can pack all they want and there is plenty of room. It's great. However, they sacrificed leg room and scrunched seats forward to have the wonderful trunk. Overall, I would not recommend this to a friend.

best chevy I ever owned. The gas is not bad for a big car. love the 4x4 on it. Wife loves it more than me!!!

4 kids, dog, and a 31 foot trailer. This car(and the 8.1L engine) doesn't even break a sweat. I have had an F150, Silverado and Isuzu Trooper in the past and none of them could get through a single year without replacing some part or the suspension (usually ball joint) due to our 5 mile dirt road and Vermont mud season. I have had this car for 4 years and had no repairs other than a Crankshaft Position Sensor (which was under recall).

I bought the suburban brand new and ever sence then i have never had any work done on it. also it can can take a beating. mine has been in 4 minor wreks and one side impact and the only damage is on blue streke on the side from the other car. Also a tree fell on it when hurrican elvis blew threw memphis and of course the tree didn't do anything. the only complant i have with the car is the gas consumption, but what can you expect from something so big. Over all the 2001 chevy suburban ls 2500 is a great car and i would recomend it to a freind.

These cars are great if you have a family and gear. It is very affordable compared to comparable suv's in it's class. I would definitely recomend it for those who need it.

I just bought this vehicle 5 days ago and it has been fine so far.If I have any problems I'll be sure to keep it posted.But so far it is overall 5 out of 5 stars.

Chevrolet?s king-size SUV was redesigned last year and gets powertrain enhancements and a new Z71 offroad package for 2001. Suburban is a corporate twin of the GMC Yukon XL, and both are built off of General Motors? full-size pickup truck, the Silverado, which also spawned the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs.

OVERALL EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND GOOD RELIABILITY. IN 6 YEARS BROKE ONCE AND THE CHEVROLET SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. IT HANDLES VERY WELL ON THE SNOW AND IN DIFFICULT TERRAIN. VERY COMFORTABLE AND SPACIOUS. WE HAVE TRAVELED AS FAR AS 1000 MILES DISTANCES WITH 8 PEOPLE, 2 DOGS AND LUGGAGE WITHOUT DIFFICULTIES. AFTER 6 YEARS AND CLOSE TO 70000 MILES THIS VEHICLE STILL HANDLES PRETTY GOOD. I WILL PROBABLY KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER 6 YEARS.

Got this new has been the best thing I have ever owned. I have purchased many vehicles over the last thirty years so its not like this is the only thing I ever bought. I have had a single problem the rear lift glass broke, not cheap to fix, That is the only complaint I have. I get 19 mpg and I am surprised , the performance is very good, if you remember the size of this SUV.
