1998 Chevrolet Suburban fuel system problems

Filed Apr 2, 2012 · Brakes, Fuel system · 38,528 miles · NJ

I purchased on 11/1997 a new 1998 chevrolet suburban 3/4 ton 2500 series. The suburban has 38,528 original miles and has been garage kept since new. The vehicle has been used primarily as a secondary vehicle for recreational purposes. The suburban has been driven in snow conditions only 12-14 times. I am experiencing excessive brake and fuel line corrosion on the steel brake/fuel lines, flexible brake hoses and connections. I am very concerned over the brake/fuel line corrosion issuea and have since learned that an investigation has been initiated by the federal safety agency on 1/5/11, the federal safety agency investigation file no. Ea11001.

Brakes-when coming to stop pedal is hard then drops about an inch more before vehicle stops.anti lock will sometimes engage and stop vehicle. After vehicle stops I can continue to push pedal all the way to floor. Dealer replaced rear dump valve but problem still there. Master cylinder has been replaced,new rotors, new back brake shoes(3rd set). Brake problem started in jan 2001. Intake gasket is leaking. Fuel pump is running very noisy, nosier than when new. I know that this means it is going to go.so I will have to replace it.

Wires keep getting cut by the car harness, why are the wires located in the harness? This is getting dangerous driving without brake lights is a hazard. The fuel line / pump has never worked correctly, and who ever heard of a transmission going out at 50,000 miles. Please note I have never towed anything with this car and I am a very careful female driver without any accidents or speeding tickets, oil is changed every 3,000 miles, all highway driving. Please help! This car is a disaster and a hazard. The leaking fuel line could have killed me, no brake lights...obvious issue. Thank you! Liz zimmer.
