Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Less than a year ago, my ses light came on. it indicated a need to replace o2 sensor. replaced o2 sensor bank 1. within a couple of weeks, ses came on again. p0430. replaced o2 sensor bank 2. ses light came back on and replaced catalytic converter. ses light continues to come back on. about 2 months ago, started getting additional code and hesitation on starting from a stop and shifting in high gears. ses code indicated master airflow sensor. had that changed. day later, ses came on. next day after that repeated symptoms. ses indicated mas and cam position. mas and cam position sensor replaced. problem happened again with same codes. mechanic traced to a blown fuse under hood. no light for approx. 1 week. light came on. two days later same symptoms. mechanic started with fuse this time. it was blown again. mechanic traced wire from this fuse to all parts it controls and found no short or exposed wire. (this last mechanic visit was 10/14/05). fixed problem for approx 1.5 weeks. light is back on, but no hesitation. fuse is still intact. have spent lot of $$ and still do not know root cause of problem. have seen similar issues in suburban forums from other owners who have replaced part after part as i have and still having issues. leads me to believe there is a defect here. hesitation, when occurs, has almost cause an accident. is dangerous to pull across traffic when it is happening. *nm
