Five problems related to brake antilock control unit/module have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The abs electric motor continues to run after vehicle has been shut off. This has happened before and I replaced it the cost was over $1000. 00 to have it repaired. I have done some research and this happens a lot to gm vehicles.
Ebcm failure - abs pump runs continuously and will run down the battery. 2nd time ebcm has failed on this vehicle. Called 800 number for chevy - they would not help me. Dealer wants $1100 to fix.
Recall on the abs activation wheel sensors was performed and I still having the same problem with the brake system and they want to charge me more to work on the car. I feel that they never fix the problem with the system and the car is still having brake problem at low speed and in parking lots and we are afraid that we are going to have a crash in the car. I would like them to look at it again and fix the abs system they should work to stop the car.
2000 Chevrolet Suburban - antilock brake pump motor/assembly, which when not working makes the antilock brake function inoperable, failed and was replaced by dealer at approximately 41000 miles. Vehicle now has 102,000 miles and antilock brake pump motor/assembly has failed again. Dealer and Chevrolet both say that, due to the mileage of the vehicle, they cannot financially assist in the repair of this vehicle and I will have to pay for it myself. Three (3) independent repair shops have told me that this malfunction is so common of a problem that it is almost inevitable that a recall will be issued once the NHTSA becomes aware of the magnitude of the problem. Parts alone can cost over $1500 for this repair.
Anti-lock braking system (abs) traction control module failure.
