1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2015

I have been working in the 9100 keystone Ave. Office building for the passed two and a half months. For over a month now there has been a black Chevrolet Suburban parked in the spot next to mine. It hasn't been touched for over a month. If it is a stolen vehicle I want to report it so that it can be returned to the owner.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/22/2015

Total braking system failure (including emergency brake) on my 2000 chevy Suburban. The day before the incident occurred, I noticed the brake pedal going lower than usual when pressing on it. I checked the fluid reservoir and notice that it was almost empty. I then added fluid to the full line on reservoir and that seemed to solve the problem. Next morning on my way to work, the brakes failed as I was approaching a busy intersection. The pedal went all the way to the floor as I was approaching the intersection at about 20 mph. I pressed hard on the emergency brake on a last failed attempt to stop the vehicle. I shifted to lower gears, reverse, and park without success. There was no traffic ahead on the intersection or traffic on the left or to the right approaching as I made a right turn. The Suburban slowed down on its own to a safe speed where I could turn into a driveway off the busy road. I'm not sure what to do with this vehicle. The mechanic tells me that it will cost over 1000 to fix it.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/01/1901

2000 Chevrolet Suburban problems with the hoist mechanism that is holding the spare tire underneath of the vehicle. The tire dealer was unable to release the spare tire, because the hoist mechanism was corroded. Another dealership informed the consumer it was not uncommon for the mechanism to become frozen from corrosion. The dealer was unable to lubricate it, so therefore the entire unit had to be replaced.
