Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Chevrolet Suburban system draws the most complaints?
Engine: 418 complaints across 12 model years, 37% of everything owners filed about the Chevrolet Suburban. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Chevrolet Suburban year has the most complaints?
2016 (220), 2021 (199), 2023 (142). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
