Ongoing problem with severe pulling to left when brakes are applied while driving at 45-50 MPH. Vehicle been in dealer shop on two occasions, and unable to locate cause. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
While going 40mph another vehicle in front slammed on brakes. Chevrolet's driver applied brakes & ABS light came on. Pumped brakes 3 times and all wheels locked up. Vehicle went into a skid. Then into the left hand lane. Took foot off brakes to come out of skid. Vehicle finally stopped. Took vehicle back to dealership & had it checked. Noticed rotor broke in half, it was not corroded. Pads sitting on mounting had broke away from each other.
Front brakes repaired 10 times. Back brakes just done. Problem seems to be with ABS system. No help from chevrolet.
When making a sudden stop the brakes fail, the pedal goes to the floor which happended on 010301 resulting in an accident. This problem has happened on several ocassion. The problem has been reported to the dealer on each ocassion. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the situation. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The front brake pads were replaced after being replaced approximately 20,000 miles ago. My wife drives this vehicle and is a very gentle driver. I have seen numerous complaints and problems relating to unsatisfactory front brake pad wear on this year/model with ABS brakes. Also, I read that in july of 1999, gmc had initiated a recall for this vehicle/brake combination, but have heard nothing. Getting 20,000 miles on a set of front pads (95% gone when replaced) while the rear shoes (replaced at the same time) show little wear is absurd in my opinion. It just seems that "something ain't right."
While depressing the brakes on wet road vehicle swerves and makes it difficult to maintain control. Also ABS indicator light flashes on. Dealer was not able to find the problem, and manufacturer has yet to find a solution. *ak
The problem is ,it goes through a set off brake shoes about every 4 months.the is not pulling a trailer or anything. The wife just drives to work every day. About 10 miles round trip.the calipers are in good shape and parts move freely.the driver side usually has the problem.the inside pad will completely wear out ,without really even touching the outside pad. I have been told by many sources that there is a recall for the porportioning valve that goes back several years,but I can't find it. Help please.
The rear axle seal continually failed, allowing gear oil to soak the rear brake shoes. The oil soaked rear brake shoes cause many problems, many affecting the ABS system, and directional stability of the vehicle during stops, the distance required to stop, and a general poor feeling of the brake system. The oil soaked rear brake shoes cause the rear wheels to lock up at low speeds when the brake is applied, especially when the conditions are wet. Under all braking conditions, the vehicle will pull to one side or the other. Because the rear brakes are not contributing to slow the vehicle down, as designed, the front brakes do more of the stopping, and the ABS is more apt to detect an actual skid. The ABS, unlocks the lock wheel, thus overlaoding the other front wheel, causing that wheel to skid, and the ABS unlocks that wheel next. This cycle continues, causing the brake pedal to travel towards the flood, and the vehicle to pull to each side repeatedly. The symptoms I am reporting are reported at your web site hundres of times. It is time the general motors is forced to do something about the brake problems, many of which may be traced to leaky rer axle seals.
Abs failed immediately after purchase. Tom jumper said 'too bad.' $1100 in parts/labor for ABS brain & pressure reg. Is big repair for 68k miles! Was it patched together long enough to sell? Very unacceptable.
The anit-lock brake light is not on, but several time the vehicle has gone into a skid with no control. The brakes lock and unlock at a slow enough rate to cause a hopping that driver and passengers can feel and cause a skid. Took in for service told drums and rotors have been overturned, replaced still not working properly. The vehicle and brake pedal hops when stopping normal or hard. Thought there was going to be a recall on the anit-lock brake system so been holding off, dealer wants over $700 to fix and then if recalled get money back?!?
Excessive brake system failure, pulling and wear is still an ongoing problem since the first day the vehicle was purchased. Brakes and system repaired every 500 to 2,500 miles by chevy dealership or an auto center licensed to do chevy warranty/out-of-warranty work. Brake conditions deteriorate rapidly once repaired. Calipers, rotors, proportional valve, delco brake pads, cyrogenic pads, idler arm, pitman arm, alignments, ABS, rear antilock sensor, all have been replaced, some excessively. Very concerned about possible accident resulting in fatalities due to brake performance. Fyi, the service center has shown me the tech bulletins published by chevy regarding repairs/service to the brake system. The service center has worked on numerous vehicles with the same problem(s) that I have experienced with the chevy suburban brake system. All repairs/service on the suburban (in- and out-of-warranty) are documented and are available if needed.
Vehicle is used for pulling a trailer. Went to have brake work done, and noticed afterwards that brakes were grabbing, and pedal was low. Took it back to the dealer, who said this was an inherited problem with this particular model. Also, they replaced front disc brakes, and drums were turned.
Windshield wiper failed prior to recall notification (98v‑150).
While driving about 30 MPH the ABS light comes on. Also, when consumer steps on the brake pedal to stop, vehicle will stop a few feet away.
The battery is leaking acid onto the brake line cable, causing a loss of brake fluid. The dealer has been contacted.
Ering vibration,leaky battery,corroding A/C lines,engine compartment and front brake disc .at passengers side.
Ongoing problem with rear wheels would intermittently lock up while applying brakes at 30 MPH or less. Dealer notified.
When applying the ABS brakes in normal conditions the system does not respond, causing extended stopping distance, and resulting in three collisions. Please give any further details.
When the brakes are applied the anti-lock system grabs, causing the vehicle to slide and then they release and grab. Dealer has been contacted.
Anti-lock brake system light came on. Problem diagnosed as failure of kelsey hayes rwal. The dealer quoted $548 for the part and $87 labor. I discussed with the dealer and did further investigation. There is a history of problems with 1990-1995 gmc and chevy 2-wheel suburbans having failure of the ABS. I contacted the zone rep, who was nice, but said no recall campaign to-date means no replacement by gm. I am driving the vehicle as-is (without anti-lock) and continuing to pursure how to have gm replace the defective kelsey units.
I have replaced the brake pads, hoses and master cylinder. The rotors have been checked and rotated. Problem still persists at my expense! None of this work was done under warranty. Continuous problems with air conditioner. Dealer could not find fault. I have spent several $'s fixing this issue.
Whenever on dry pavement, traveling at low speeds and applying the brakes, pedal stiffens and the ABS kicks in, causing the vehicle to continue rolling. The brake pedal has to be reapplied in order to stop. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
My brakes have been replaced 5 times in less than 5 years and only 43,000 miles, with the first time being at only 8179 miles! The dealership's excuse is that "your vehicle has semi-metallic brake pads which will not last longer than 12,000 miles" this is baloney! No vehicle should have to have its brakes replaced annually (or more)!
The booster on the power brakes went out. Pedal traveled 3/4 of the way to floor. Would push hard on pedal to get brakes to work. Taking vehicle to dealer to have it repaired.
When applying the brakes on wet pavement the ABS system kicks in, but extended stopping distance occurs cause unknown. Please give any further details.mjs
Whenever ABS brakes are applied, the pedal felt real mushy & pulled right or left. Would experience extended stopping distance. Been to dealer & was informed brakes being mushy ,common problem. Another mechanic said possible defective proportional valve was the cause. Rear brakes will not apply in rain or snow.
