Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We purchased the vechicle used from the dealer listed. Vehicle has been in for brake problems when wheels are wet they shutter and lock up. The battery cracked and leaked all over the battery tray and brake lines and other frame componets. The rear door dome light switch shorted out. The front end has been aligned several times for the wheels pulling to the left. The A/C air barly comes out of the front dash vents. The rear end is positive traction and when making a turn it makes a popiing noise.
While consumer is driving headlights will fail to operate on a random basis. Consumer has taken vehicle to dealer, but is told that they cannot find a malfunction. Problem does not occur while dealer is in possession of vehicle. Please provide any additional information.
Truck pulls to the left while driving and pulls hard to the left when applying brakes, although some modifications have helped the truck continues to pull left, hard left, especially in a panic braking situation, modifications included rotors machined, repacked wheel bearings, pads deglaze, new front brake pads installed, front rotors switched.

Headlamps have failed on 2 occasions: 1. While driving at dusk headlights were switched on, but failed to power on. Light switch was cycled without recovery of headlamps. Daylight headlamps did not fail and worked when switch was turned off. Trip was completed with light switch turned off using daylight headlamps. 2. On second occurance light switch was switched on and headlamps did not come on. Switch was cycled and headlamps came on when switch was in marker light position. Switch was turned to headlight position and headlamps turned off. Trip was again completed with daylight headlamps.
We have a ongoing problem with the headlights dimming or flickering at night. We have had it into the dealer for repairs 3 time for this problem. They have been unable to verify the problem, due to the fact that they are checking it in the daytime, but did report to us upon pickup of the vehicle on last visit, that they have 3-4 other surburbans in their dealership with the same reported problem. Gm is aware of the problem, but as of yet has not located the problem or have a solution for repair. This is a serious safty issue when driving at night, other may think that you are flashing you lights at them or have an emergancy, or the light may have total failure in the future. Obvously, a serious electrical problem. No cause or cure as of yet. Another electrical problem that we are experiencing is that on 3 seperate occasions the radio has remained on after the vehicle has been turned off and key removed. (2 or more hours each occasion) only temporary turn off was when operating the window button, but radio came back on as soon as window button was released. Occasional problem, very annoying, perhaps connected to headlight electrical problem or not? Very conserned that there may be a serious electrical problem!
On three occasions, consumer took vehicle to dealership due to headlights flickering intermittently while driving. On one occasion they found a bracket that was broken and replaced the driver's side headlamp assembly, but the problem still exist. However, occasionally the dashlights, domelight, and stereo display experience failure which may be the result of a electrical problem.
Headlights operate erratically. When needed they flicker on and off. Dealer has been contacted.
