problem #3

Jan 142016

Suburban

  • 190,000 miles
While driving at low speeds or coming to stop the ABS seems to engage and cause erratic stopping and even hard stopping at times. The brake pedal kicks back and is hard to press down and stopping is very difficult.

problem #2

Suburban 4WD 8-cyl

  • 114,059 miles
Complete loss of brakes coming up to a stoplight in moderate traffic. Widespread heavy corrosion/deterioration of brake lines resulted in rupture of brake line over left rear wheel. Emergency/park brake used to avoid accident. Clearly a materials defect in the brake system, in my opinion.

problem #1

Oct 252013

Suburban 8-cyl

  • 104,000 miles
While attempting to stop in a business parking lot, brake pedal unexpectedly went to floor, vehicle ran over curb/stop, damaging suspension. Cause of incident was determined to be a ruptured metal brake line, caused by severe corrosion. A second line was found to have small pin hole, which had not yet ruptured, but could have failed at anytime.
