One problem related to brake antilock wheel speed sensor has been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact was driving at a low speed and applied brake pressure and the abs pulsated. There was extended stopping distance as indicated in a current recall on the anti lock brakes. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who replaced both wheel speed sensors on the front brakes. That corrected the problem ,however, in August of this year the problem recurred two years later. The vehicle was returned to a dealer. The dealer did replace one of the wheel speed sensors, but the other one was cleaned and kept on the brakes. Since this repair there have been no further problems. The contact contacted gm, and filed a complaint. This vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN and the model. Updated 11/29/05.
