Five problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have been dealing with this problem with the abs system for over 2 years and have replaced all the sensors brakes and hubs on my Suburban, I have been reading all the customer complaints and chevy is well aware of this issue. My abs system runs when it wants prevents my car from properly stopping and when I reported the issue they told me to pull the fuse so the pump would shut off, so I am driving around with no abs system and we just had the sensors replaced again as well as the hub and the same thing is happening with the pulsating of the break peddle and the running pump I would think chevy would do a recall with all the complaints. .
My 2002 chevy Suburban was serviced under NHTSA id 05v3379000 on 11/24/06. The problem is the vehicle will not stop between 5-10mph due to corrosion near abs sensor - under recall clean area and lube. Since this is a corrosion issue it will recur many time in future. Approx 4 years after recall service - I am having the exact symptoms described in recall. I think this recall should be recurring since corrosion is constantly occurring.
