Two problems related to anti-lock brakes fail have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When using the brakes at slow speeds the anti-lock brakes engage and slip on dry pavement we had the sensors cleaned as we were informed to do by GMC but that didn't help there is a recall on all 2000 vehicles for the same occurrence but not on the 1999 vehicles which we have. We called customer service for GMC about the recalls on the 2000s and that ours is having the same symptoms but they informed us not enough complaints have been made about the 99s to include them in this recall I feel its a serious situations if the anti-lock brakes fail I don't care which year it is.
: the contact stated while coming to a stop at 20 mph the anti-lock brakes failed without warning. This occurred on dry roads during normal braking. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. The dealership repaired the vehicle which remedied the problem. The manufacturer was notified. Updated 02/28/06.
