Brake Light On problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban

Chevrolet has continued to ignore the abs brake issue within the brake control module. This is separate from their wheel sensor issue. The brake control module. Has a circuit board issue which deactivates the abs system and shows a brake and abs light on dash. In snow today my abs failed and I slid through an intersection narrowly missing a school bus a f$%^ing school bus. There is so much info on this issue on the internet but Chevrolet seem to be ignoring it. The problem is centered around a circuit board in the brake control module.

The contact owns 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while parking in a residential driveway, the brakes failed to respond. The contact stated that the abs and the brake warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 140,000.

This is the second time I had to make an emergency stop because of a rusted-thru brake line. This time, I was entering a high-speed merge from one four lane highway to another and traffic was backing up. I had to apply the brakes slightly hard to slow down in time. Pedal went completely to the floor with about 20% of the normal braking power available. Was not going to stop in time and was forced to drive off the road to avoid rear-ending another car and onto the road shoulder at speed. Barely had enough room between a major highway sign which was next to the shoulder and the cars in my lane. After repeatedly pumping the brakes (which you are taught not to do with antilock brakes), the SUV finally came to a stop. Without the shoulder, I would've caused a multi-car accident with injuries. I drove the car at slow speed directly to my shop who recommended replacing every brake line (every brake line was horribly rusted and brittle). Custom brake lines for this repair cost $1800!! I had spent $400 on the first repair. Trust me, every gm SUV from these years has this problem and are going to cause accidents and people will be killed!!! this vehicle weighs 5500 pounds.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was shifted into drive and the vehicle failed to move forward. The contact also stated that the brake warning light illuminated. On another occasion while driving at approximately 5 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The mechanic also stated that the anti lock brake system failed and unknown parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for the anti lock brake system failure but the fuel pump was not replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 05v155000 (fuel system, gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

I was driving my 2001 Suburban and when I stepped on the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. . . No warning or brake light came on. I was able to limp the truck home and I saw the rear axle was wet with brakefluid. The left rear brake line had rotted and broke. The truck is very well kept up and I alwasy pressure wash the undercarraige after the snow & winter.

Abs and brake lights continue to come on.
