2015 Chevrolet Suburban: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jan 17, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · NC

While driving at highway speeds my vehicle lost steering the radio and the hvac turned off. I had abs and brake lights on the dash as well as a service stabilitrac message. The vehicle completely shutoff and I almost had an auto accident. I have not taken it anywhere as I’m to afraid to drive it for fear of having an accident.

The vehicle component of concern is the braking system. The brake pedal has to be pressed at an unusual rate of pressure to engage the brake system. More concerning is, on several occasions the brakes seem to fail, initiating the ABS system while in fast food lines. This has also occurred while backing up causing the pedal to be jammed to the floor to stop the vehicle. The excessive need for pressure while braking was supposed to be fixed in 2021 by a "simple" recall that simply updated the computer. I had this recall performed, but still have the same braking issues in my 2015 Chevrolet Suburban. I feel that this is a very serious concern and should be addressed. The difference is truly night and day between my wife's vehicle and mine. The braking issue comes with no warnings or alarms. I have had my brakes checked on several occasions to confirm normal brake wear and longevity.

Vehicle loses braking capability at low speeds, sometimes voltage issues cause stability control error, and even complete loss of engine power and vehicle control (engine shutoff). This has been recurring approximately once per day for two weeks, generally at very low speeds and turning into a parking spot. Typically, ABS engage and power brake assist is lost, which requires more more effort to stop the vehicle. Can also happen in reverse.

On at least 5 occasions the brakes have failed to provide the necessary stopping power. When inching forward after a complete stop, I would apply pressure to the brake pedal and the pedal would immediately lose pressure and sink to the floor. I would have to apply additional pressure to the pedal in order to stop from hitting the vehicle in front of me. It would also feel like the ABS system would kick in and would pulsate. If I immediately depress the brake pedal and press it again in quick succession the pedal regains pressure but does not regain normal brake functionality.

For the 3rd time my wife while driving her car had these issues! Service power steering where it makes it hard to turn. Brake and ABS lights come on making the brake pedal go to the floor barely stoping the suburban, service stabilitrac and service trailer brake! This is the second time it's at the dealer the first time it went away so quickly we thought it was a fluke but it definitely scared my wife to death! By the time we get it to the dealer it clears it's self and they can't find anything wrong! We videoed the incidents and need help to see why those issues aren't recalled on our suburban like they have recalled on other 2015 suburbans?

While driving on a highway, the ABS & brake warning lights eliminated. It was determined that the issue was the ebcm brake controller module that had failed causing the associated ABS brake pump to run continuously, thus destroying it. The module and pump are located on the frame approx. Below the drivers set. Dealer's estimated cost to repair $1,200. At the time of the incident the ebcm module was on back order and the dealer could not correct the issue. I had to buy a refurbished module and a new pump to solve the issue.
