Four problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Parking brake does not work. Parking break pads were replaced but still does not work.
Heard grinding noise when braking at 58k. Had it checked out and right rear pads worn through. Need new rotor. Left rear pads not as worn but very close to same scenario. Front pads were 50% good.
1) hearing loud fluttering sound on acceleration (almost like an exhaust leak ). 2)rear wheel felt heavy, brakes not releasing 3) metal on metal sound.
The right front tire keeps losing air pressure. Vehicle has been to the dealer on three separate occasions. Dealer replaced the right front tire twice, and replaced the air pressure three times. But, problem recurred. The right wheel frame squeakes when turning at 10 mph. Rotors and pads and shoes and wheel bearings cracked.
