I have aj 2002 chevy suburban w/144k miles on it. the fuel pump was replaced while still under warranty because if the fuel level got too low it would not start. in the last 3 months have had the intermittent shut off problem listed on other complaints. i have had it do it on rough roads and interstate highways. same thing, engine stops, wait 3-5 minutes engine starts, seems less prevalent when tank is full. dealership says chevy sees no overall problem with it, my mechanic tells me a new fuel pump is not too expensive but the real cost is the labor to take the fuel take off and replace it. total $900-1100, that is outrageous especially for a problem gm knows it has. *tr

Clanking in steering wheel / column. took to dealership, was told everything was fine just how 2002 suburbans run. not happy with answer, took it back again, intermediate shaft was replaced. 6 months later, same thing, again intermediate shaft was replaced. guess what, making appointment to go back because of same problem in steering, with clanking and vibration, can hear it and feel mostly with any turn of the wheel....bet it will once again be an intermediate shaft replacement and 3 days with out my vehicle! *tr

Known problems with a/c compressor on 2002 suburban/tahoe with rear a/c. defective system causes loud chatter in belt tensioner due to slugs of liquid refrigerant being pushed into the compressor. problems frequent enough for gm to have issued tsb #01139b but gm refuses to issue a recall on this obvious defect. literally thousands of complaints about this defect are documented on the internet. *tr
