Ea 95-026; when traveling on wet or dry pavement and upon making a graudal stop the ABS brake kicked in, pedal traveled to the floorboard, causing extended stopping distance, and resulting in a near accidents. Also, ABS light illuminated on dash. Please provide any further details.
The brakes fail to operate properly when applied as directed in the manual if the road surface is slippery for any reason. I have been involved in at least three crashes because the brakes release instead of pumping. The dealer sevice dept insists that the brakes were not properly engaged. That is hogwash!
When applying the ABS brakes vehicle severely pulls to the right or left. Also when applying the brakes on wet pavement the left front wheel locks up. In addition, every 11,000 miles the front brakes pads prematurely wear out. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Coming to a stop & was applying the brakes. Ther ewas a lot of growling noise. Brake pedal got mushy. Took to dealer again & brake system was replaced for the 4th time. Also, windshield wipers failed to work properly in the rain. Would cut off & on on their own. An intermittent problem that was not corrected.
Abs system comes on and system is defective. Regular brake system is defective, and extended stopping distance occurs when brakes are applied. Dealer contacted and no repairwork has been done. Problems still exists.

No summary
When applying the brakes, the ABS system locked up, causing vehicle to roll over.
Brake reservoir replaced due to leak.
While traveling under normal conditions and applying brakes, upon making a gradual stop, vehicle pulled to the right and slid. Consumer has yet to contact dealer, parts have yet to be replaced.
When making a sudden stop the ABS brakes kicked in, and the rear brakes locked up. Consumer also, ABS ligh illuminated on the dash. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
The antilock brake sensor has been inoperative sine 12/97 and has been inspected multiple times. The replacement part and relay will cost aprox. $700 so I have not replaced it. The ABS warning light in the dash panel is always on. I have no idea if the ABS system will really work in a sudden stop. I am trying to get this vehicle approved for coverage under the "special policy" recall just announced by gm but this does not yet cover suburbans as they have an ongoing investigation.
Abs faulty causing rotors to fail due to lock up, replacement failed also resulting in locking up of rotors. Mjs
In august, 1995 consumer began to experience brake failure. Vehicle would pull left or right, or if there was a hard stop it would result in extended stopping distance. Dealership cannot duplicate problem , and suggested that consumer take vehicle some where else. Also, consumer owned a suburban 93, and experienced similar problem. However, dealership bought vehicle back from consumer.
Brake hissing noise heard when pedal applied. Pedal low. Fluid leaking small amount. Chevy service misdiagnosed problem. Replaced master cylinder and installed new shoes. Brakes still hissed. A different service center correctly identified problem as brake booster and replaced at cost of $300. Total amount spent was over $1,000.
The seat is improperly designed. The rivets break causing the driver to fall backwards. This causes loss of control of the vehicle especially at highway speeds . The seat breaks every year or so. It starts making a popping sound, rivets getting loose, then finally breaks causing the driver to fall backwards. I have been told by the dealer that this is a known design problem and that there is a t.s.b. Out on it which I have not seen. I am told that they do not have a fix just put another seat frame in each time. The last time it broke it was repaired as a goodwill gesture. The dealer has told me that it will not be repaired again under warranty. This is a dangerous situation which causes a possible loss of control of the vehicle as it is a sudden failure. It just pops and you fall backwards. The problem is also described as seat popping. The revite get loose and cause the seat to start making a popping sound (which is happening to mine again now) then they finally break. A new truck sold by gm should not have a seat in which the seat frame breaks every year of so. Gm just says tough.--------- as to the brake issue I only included it because I ha d so many problems trying to get it repaired. The brake hoses colapse causing the brakes to stay applied. Numerous visits about breaks squeaking/applying were to no avail. Even after they would stay applied it took several visits to get them repaired. While driving on the highway theyy apparently would heat up causing the problem to be worse. Th ebreaks would get so hot smoke would come off them and the vehicle would hardly move. The dealers replace almost every break part before replacing the hoses which were colapsed inside.
Ongoing problem with door; whenever automatic switch is used it causes door not to close properly. Also, ABS failed to operate. Vehicle was taken on three occasions to dealer shop, and consumer was informed that nothing could be found. In addition, door would not open from the inside, consumer would have to open door from the outside to let herself out of the vehicle.
