Chevrolet · NHTSA safety record
Every safety complaint, recall and defect investigation the US government holds on this vehicle.
Owners have filed 53 safety complaints about the 2010 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 with the US government. Of those, 1 person was injured and no death is recorded. No recall campaign has been matched to this year, make and model.
The most complained-about system is the air bags, named in 22 complaints, 42% of the total. The typical failure was reported at 70,000 miles, the median across the 37 complaints that gave an odometer reading.

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.
No recall campaign was matched to this year, make and model. That is not the same as a clean vehicle: recalls are issued against production ranges, and the only reliable check is your own VIN.
One complaint can name several systems, so these add up to more than 53.
By the year NHTSA received them, which is not the year the failures happened. They peaked in 2017 at 16.
This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2010 to 2019.
NHTSA crashes a car into a barrier and a pole and measures what happens to the dummies inside. This is what it awarded the 2010 Chevrolet SUBURBAN 1500, and it is a separate question from what owners report going wrong later.

NHTSA made its frontal crash test harder for the 2011 model year, and says ratings from before that change should not be compared with ratings after it. A dash means NHTSA did not rate that test for this vehicle.

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.
A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
