Brakes Failed problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban

Tl- the contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving behind his father's vehicle, they had approached a stop and attempted to depress the brake pedal. As his foot was on the pedal, the contact could hear the abs making an abnormal noise as the brake pedal failed to operate as needed. Due to the failure, the contact hit the back of his father's vehicle without warning. Due to the low impact of the crash, the airbags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and they informed him that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 05v379000(service brakes, hydraulic) and offered no further assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 159,000. Jo.

Three times I had complete brake failure. Driving two times and had just arrived at my destination third time, which was today -- surprise!!!! had to slowly drive home, yet again, with no brakes!!!!!.

I was applying the brakes on my 2001 Chevrolet Suburban, model 2500, as I turned into my driveway. The brakes failed to engage. This resulted in the vehicle running into the front of the garage. The brakes now appear to be working fine. The brakes have failed on previous occasions, but never to the point of allowing the vehicle to hit anything. According to the gm dealer, they can't fix the problem without a failure code in the computer. An independent service garage said the same.

Tl- the contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. The contact stated that while performing routine maintenance on the vehicle, he attempted to engage the parking brake but the vehicle continued to move. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where it was confirmed that the emergency brake failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 115,700 and the current mileage was 115,736. Kmj.

According to the NHTSA there is a safety recall on my vehicle (NHTSA # 05v379000). Chevrolet denies any knowledge of this recall (not just my VIN, but the whole recall) and won't even look at my vehicle. My vehicle has been showing this problem for years. I paid $600 last year to repair it, the vehicle still fails and when hitting pothole or bump, the abs is audible and felt through the pedal and the brakes fail and cause the vehicle to continue. Again, chevy refuses to acknowledge there is eve a recall-how do I get them to fix it?.

While driving at highway speeds power steering and brakes fail, resulting loss of power steering and brakes simultaneously. This is due to the failure of the power assist and power steering pump. This is the second time these components have been replaced. This was first noticed and replaced in January 2002. The second time occurred in February 2003. On 6/11/2003 the vehicle again showed indications of a problem with the brakes and steering. The brake pedal began to pulsate, and a high-pitched whine could be heard when turning the steering wheel. The vehicle also experiences problems when braking over rough road, such as rumble strips. As this is a third problem with these critical components, the safety of this vehicle is in question. The last visit to the dealer was said to be loose bolts on the power steering gear box. The power assist design is a known problem with this vehicle. I have spoken with service writers, service managers and have read other reports concerning other incidents like I experienced with this vehicle.

While driving at 25 mph/apporaching a stop sign, and when applying brakes pedal went to the floorboard, causing extended stopping distance. Brakes failed to respond. Consumer has contacted dealer. Dealer was unable to determine cause of problem. Please provide any further details.
