My wife had driven the Suburban like always and without any issues. At the end of the day she parked it and it sat until the next morning. I walked out to it and from the driver's side I saw a large puddle underneath my drivers side. When I turned on my truck the brake light was on and when I shifted into gear I noticed the brakes were out. I contacted GM and gave them the NHTSA action number (EA11001) but since they could not find anything in their system they cannot cover anything. I see that this issue is the second one opened and this one has been opened since Jan 5, 2011.

Just had to replace brake lines due to severe corrosion. This cost me a small fortune. This is covered under NHTSA action # EA11001. Performed service to avoid catastrophic event. Notice must be made to all current owners of vehicles to reduce risk of catastrophic crash \ possible loss of life.

Complete brake failure. Brake lines rusted out. Please add my name to the NHTSA # EA11001 investigation.

The ABS light came on. When the car was turned off, a pump or something kept running and the sound seemed to be coming form under the vehicle. The sound did not cease even when the car was turned off and the key removed. This continued until I checked the fuses and tried disconnecting the ABS 60-amp fuse from the fuse box under the hood. The fuse was fine, however when I disconnected the fuse, the sound immediately stopped. I reconnected the fuse briefly and the sound resumed, so I left the fuse disconnected until a repair can be maid.

Began emergency breaking and evasive maneuvers. Shortly after beginning to turn, the ABS light came on and all 4 wheels locked. The result was a 180 degree spin across 5 lanes of I30 just South of downtown dallas. We almost avoided any collision, but it could have been horrible as we were close to hitting at least 7 to 10 vehicles with speed differentials of about 50mph while out of control. The failure code was the ebcm relay, and the system works if the ambient temperature is cold enough, though it fails on bumps sometime. Typical bad solder joint behavior. Many people are repairing these modules by re-soldering the relay connections.

My wife was driving our 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4WD when she applied the brakes to stop the peddle went all the way to the floor. She was able to get the truck into a parking lot without incident. When I got there to look at the problem, I noticed the steel brake line supplying the right front caliper was severely corroded, where it runs atop the frame in the engine compartment, to the point where it developed a pinhole to allow a loss of pressure(peddle). The line is so corroded that I can't even cut out a section and flare the old line to install a repair section of line. I believe the entire brake line has to be replaced. At this time I haven't inspected the rest of the lines, but when I can I will!!!!! I'm reading about numerous brake line and other severe corrosion issues on these models. We have been loyal GM customers since 1976. We currently own the above mentioned Suburban and a 2008 Silverado. The Suburban is our primary family vehicle which is used to Transport our disabled child.

I was nearing a stop sign at an intersection and applied brakes. Pedal went to floor and I went through intersection. Oncoming vehicle had to swerve to miss me. Investigation determined that a front brake line had rusted through, causing loss of brake fluid.

- Howell, MI, USA

Brakes failed completely.... brake pedal went all the way to the floor after pulling into a parking lot and trying to slow down to pull into a spot. Attempted to pump brakes but the pedal did not come back up. Hit curb at approximately 10 mph. Truck needed to towed and mechanic found trouble to be a badly rusted through main front to rear brake lines. Mechanic found all lines to be rusted and replaced all lines with poly coated steel lines. Mechanic stated that the factory brake lines were not coated..." is this not a factory recall issue"

Brake failure due hole in corroded brake line during braking. First repair date Oct 2010 est. Second failure 12/23/2011. In both failures brake pedal goes to floor and reduces ability to slow or stop vehicle. 2nd failure brake fluid spraying out on rear components of vehicle including exhaust. No brake warning light came on to warn of failure and reduction of braking power. I am the second owner of this Suburban which I purchased used with 22K miles in March of 2003.

The anti-lock brake system activated incorrectly at low speed on a steep hill such that the vehicle rolled into the cross street without stopping. Vehicle was in Vermont for 4 years prior to the incident.

- Finksburg, MD, USA

Pulsating at braking, longer than neccesary to come to complete stop at low speed, extreme rust to undercarriage, suspension, and brake parts.

Brake failure, ABS kicks in under 5 mph. Lost brakes once. Upon reviewing this topic on the below weblink, found out I and a multitude of other Chevy truck owners have identical issues. Based on reading the below link, I'm fearful of letting my wife/kids in this vehicle that a possible car accident may happen if the brakes don't work when needed. Please investigate this, I and many others paid a substantial amount of money for products that are defective/life threatening and Chevy refuses to correct the problem. Once again, please read the below link, I am not alone. www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/gm_silverado_brakes.html [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My brake lines are severely corroded. I have no choice but to replace them with stainless lines because I know they are not safe. It's a costly labor intensive repair.

- Staten Island , NY, USA

Hard brake lines failed, resulting in loss of hydraulic pressure for service brakes.

While parking a travel trailer into a steeply-sloped driveway after a 300-mile tow with the whole family aboard, noticed the brake pedal travel was uncommonly long. Following day, departed without the trailer for a short drive and again noticed a low pedal. Drove about three miles with extreme caution, and on arrival found brake fluid flowing from behind the driver's-side rocker panel. Slowly nursed the truck to the local dealer; during this drive the brake alarm light illuminated. No collision or injury in this case. Brake pipes were found to be all deeply corroded and breached; elected to replace all at a cost of $1130. Submitted as a case in EA11001: Vehicle was purchased in Nov 2001 in northern Virginia, which is properly included in the salt belt with West Virginia and DC/Maryland, and has been in New Jersey for the past four years.

I own a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban which when braking at low speeds the pedal drops near the floor and the ABS causes it to kick back and pulsate this happens on an intermittent basis causing greatly increased stopping distances. These symptoms are consistent with a recall where they sprayed anti corrosion stuff on an ABS speed sensor as a fix. This recall was performed on my vehicle 3 years ago at 40K miles now I am experiencing the same problem again @ 78K miles and GM says they are not obligated to perform it again or come up with a more permanent fix.
