Four problems related to abs brake fail have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have experienced numerous abs brake failures while driving at a low rate of speed. My car is unable to stop under this condition. I brought my car in for service yesterday. The front wheel sensor was diagnosed as a failed part. It was replaced at my cost. I brought to the attention to the dealer directly and to general motors on their phone hotline, the gm recall # 05068 and the nhts campaign#05v379000. I was told my VIN # has not been included in the recall, therefore I would have to pay for the repair which I did. Obviously my car should fall within the recall, per the data that is available paired with the problem/defect and repair that was performed on my car. Does one need to crash or be killed to be included in a recall?! I am requesting immediate reimbursement of the repair bill for this item from general motors or from the dealership. I am very unhappy how I was treated at the dealership, where I have been servicing my car for many years. I am equally unhappy with gm's failure to take accountability for this problem.
Abs low speed failure reference: gm recall no. 05068 NHTSA campaign id number : 05v379000.
99 3/4 brake abs failure under 10mph I doublt you will see the spokesman who says they dont have a probllem stand in front of the Suburban when its brakes are applied to stop. Im scared someone is going to be hurt. You apply brakes and when dry or cold and in even in good weather conditions and brake pedal will go to floor with pedal depressed and held.
Abs malfunctions, especially in wet conditions, brakes perform in a very irregular manner, they are not predictable or offer reliable performance throughout use. Brakes pull hard right, even after several time to fix. I have reported abs problems, and took 4 attempts before dealer tried to repair becuase they could not replicate abs failure occurrence. Steeering chatter when braking from time to time, rear drums have been replaced and turned. Rear drums chattered until turned. Warping occurred to rear drums. This vehcile is unsafe and I have lost confidence in my purchase, and am pursuing the responsible purchase of vehicle underneath the lemon laws of washington state.
