1999 GMC SUBURBAN — Complaint #463265
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY:HANGER/BRACKET filed March 29, 2004
NHTSA complaint #463265 (ODI reference 10065133) concerns a 1999 GMC SUBURBAN and was filed on March 29, 2004. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:springs:leaf spring assembly:hanger/bracket, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC SUBURBAN cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:springs:leaf spring assembly:hanger/bracket failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1999 GMC SUBURBAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
