OIL BLOW BY WHEN DROPS TO 4 CYLINDERS, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY TO PUT IN A BYPASS VALVE TO "SEE" IF WILL FIX, DIDN'T SO NEXT STEP WAS TO HAVE BOTTOM HALF OF ENGINE REBUILT WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET WHICH THEN IN TURN ENDED UP BLOWING UP MY WHOLE ENGINE EITHER BECAUSE THE LIFTERS GOT TO HOT & WARP(WHICH WAS THE CAUSE ORIGINALLY FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION AS THE HEADS) OR THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP SANDED THE HEADS WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED METAL SHAVINGS TO DISPERSE THROUGH THE ENGINE. EITHER WAY THE ISSUE BEGAN WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AS HAD BEEN DEALING WITH DEALER FOR 2 YEARS WHEN ISSUE BEGAN TO THE DATE ENGINE BLEW. HAD DEALER PUT BACK TOGETHER TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR 2ND OPINION AND THEY ALSO SAID IT'S BEEN A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE SUBURBAN FROM 2007-2011 BUT IS NOT A RECALL AS OF YET - I WANT MY MONEY BACK, I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE "SEE IF THIS WORKS PART", THE BOTTOM HALF OF ENGINE TO BE REBUILT, & THEN A NEW ENGINE WHEN GM &

FUEL LEAK HAS DEVELOPED BETWEEN TWO FUEL LINES THAT HAVE BEEN RUBBING TOGETHER FROM THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE UNTIL 4/23/18. THIS LEAK DEVELOPED LESS THAN INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON THE BRADED LINE PORTION OF THE FUEL LINES NEAR THE CONNECTIONS AT THE FUEL TANK END. THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED AS I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON 395 NORTH IN WASHINGTON DC THROUGH THE 3RD ST. TUNNEL. THE ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS DETECTED, BUT THOUGHT TO BE COMING FROM ELSEWHERE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ANOTHER MILE BEFORE I REALIZED THE SOURCE WAS MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PARKED IT I NOTICED FUEL POOLING UNDER IT AT THE TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER. AFTER IT COOLED, I WENT UNDER IT AND DISCOVERED TO CAUSE OF THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME VIA AAA. THE MILEAGE AT THE MOMENT CANNOT BE OBTAINED BECAUSE THE DASH IS DIGITAL WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL SYSTEM TO ENERGIZE AND SPRAY FUEL WHEN TURNED ON.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED.
