The truck has been to the dealer because the brakes would not immediately grabbing and the truck was taken to a dealer for repair of the rear backing plates which began to rust and break apart. This was repaired by the dealer. The dealer had to replace the brakes, calipers, and rotors along with this repair. Both rear brakes and housing assemblies were also replaced, the dealer noted they too were rusted. About a week after the repair while driving there was a hissing noise and thought that the tire may be going flat. The tire was not flat. The contact slowed at a stop sign, and when applying brake pressure there was a grinding and clanking noise each time brake pressure was applied. The contact drove home. Upon inspection of the vehicle noticed the caliper fell off and there was a grove on the rear drivers side rim. The vehicle has been back to the dealer. The dealer towed the vehicle back to the shop and determined there was a bolt from the caliper that had snapped and caused the caliper to fall off. The dealer is currently completing repairs on the vehicle. NHTSA recall NHTSA 05V379000 involving the anti lock brakes was issued, but contact was unsure if this vehicle was covered under the recall.

I was pulling into a parking space and may antilock brakes engaged and the vehicle would not stop. I was stopped by a brick wall. Both my child and I were in the car at the time of the accident. We both suffer from sore necks and backs. I did contact GM's product liability group at the time and was told no problem existed. I continued to drive the car and the anti-lock brake problem became so bad that I have discontinued using the car.

My wife complained that the brake system was not functioning properly on our 2002 Suburban. Random failures occurred with the ABS system at low speed while coming to a stop. Pedal did not respond, pulsed and vibrated. Malfunction of ABS brake system was identified as corrosion issue surrounding ABS speed sensor mounting surface. Speed sensors were removed and areas cleaned of all corrosion and rust. Electrical readings improved performance of one side (320mvac plus) but did not improve second sensor (less than 200mvac). Further evaluation of the sensor revealed significant warpage to the sensor base attributed to corrosion. Required air gap could not be obtained due to the warped base. Replaced both sensors. Electrical reading on new sensors were greatly improved and no further malfunctions have occurred.

The brakes on my 2002 Suburban began kicking back during stops on dry clean pavement near the end of the stop. This caused us to drift past stop signs on a number of occasions and caused near collisions in slow moving parking lot driving. I took the vehicle to a local dealer, hawkins Chevrolet Oldsmobile, Inc. And was told the ABS speed sensor was corroded and not working properly. They replaced the ABS speed sensors on the two front wheels on 8/25/05 under invoice ctcs85504. I inquired about whether this would be replaced for free given the obvious safety implications and was told to file a claim with GM customer service. The service rep said that this was normal wear and tear and denied the claim, but registered a complaint under file# 1-355599627 on 8/12/05. I conducted further research on the internet and found a news article about the GM recall for this same defect in Canada.

When I apply my brakes, the antilock is heard & the brakes are not firm. This has been going on for about 2 months. It scares me because when I slowly come up to a corner, I don't know if I'm going to stop or not! if I take it to a mechanic, they will put new brakes on, which I don't need, but it isn't going to solve the problem.
