Two problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Hard stopping on my 2000 Suburban 2500 4x4, felt like you were not going to get stopped, there was a very soft brake pedal and normal stopping distance was increased dramatically. Inspecting the brakes & rotors revealed extreme rust on inside of rotor and only a fraction of the brake pad was contacting the rotor. I replaced all 4 rotors & brake pads which corrected the problem. I still have all of the defective parts.
Within 55,000 miles the rear brake pads have worn out twice. The front pads, which should wear more quickly, show little wear and are still the factory original. This causes reduced braking.
