Windshield wipers work than stop. I wiggle wire connector to motor than they will work for a short period. If I am driving down the road, they will stop working and sometimes start working again. I found out that 1994 suburban 4x4 are not on the recall list for the card that has a faulty solder. I have also replaced my drivers side caliper 4 times since purchasing the vehicle in january 2003. I also replaced the brake hose on the drivers side. The calipers seemed to get stuck and would not release.

I have had two issues with this vehicle: 1. Windsheild wiper intermittent failure. This started to happen after the warranty period expired. I was informed by a chevrolet dealer that the recall(s) issued that match this behavior exactly do not apply to my vehicle. I believe the recall should include my 1994 chev. Suburban c-1500 vehicle, as it clearly demonstrates this exact intermittent behavior. Beyond inquiring recently with my local dealer, nothing has been done to correct this issue. 2. Poor ABS brake performance. This symptom has existed since the vehicle was new. I complained several times, but no problems were found at the time of complaints at the dealership. I noticed that there was a recall associated with this symptom, but I have not yet inquired with my local dealership to see if the issue can be corrected. I have had several "near misses" when having to stop suddenly and almost hitting the vehicle in front of me due to poor ABS performance and increased stopping distance.

I am experiencing trouble with the anti-lock brakes. Today I was attempting to stop at a yellow light and the brakes stop about half way, make a strange noise and I fail to stop. This has happened to me many times. The previous owner had the same problem. This frightens me every time it occurs. I am scared of rear ending someone. You never know when it will occur, wet or dry weather makes no difference. If I am attempting to stop on gravel the same thing happens, the car just slides out into the road. Brakesworked on several times but to no avail. The recall notice was only cosmetic and did not correct the problem. I explained exactly what was wrong. I have read many reviews on the internet and people are having the same problem. One woman said her brakes lock up and groan also. Another ,man rear ended someone. These brakes are deadly and I need help. I paid my last bank payment today and would like to keep the vehicle. I could never sell it to someone with faulty brakes. Thank you for taking my report.

Brakes have been a problem for some time. Whenever the brakes get wet they become impossible to touch the brakes lightly enough without locking them up.
