problem #1

Apr 012003

Suburban 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,000 miles
The brakes will grab very hard under light pressure and jerk the vehicle violently until they have been pressed several times at which point they start working normally. Not sure if this is a caliper issue or a drum brake issue or both.
