problem #2

Suburban 8-cyl

  • 64,481 miles
Started engine, depressed brake pedal to shift into reverse. Brake pedal goes to floor with no pressure, brake and stability warning light go on. I back up, then go into drive, travel about 50 feet, apply pressure on brake pedal and again no pressure on pedal, Suburban slowly stops forward movement on level surface. I return Suburban to parking area and turn off engine, call service shop and make appointment for repair. Next week, 4/22 slowly drive Suburban 1 mile to repair facility for service. 4/23 repair manager calls to tell me that all the brake lines are excessively rusted.
