Four problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 2004 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While avoiding another vehicle I applied my brakes suddenly. The bake like connecting the abs unit and the rear brakes failed due to corrosion/rust that was not observable due to the line being ran between the vehicles frame and body and gas tank. Although this location might have made for easy manufacturing it has led to the line being in a location that cannot be visually inspected to prevent dangerous conditions from building up from lack of awareness. .
: the contact stated while traveling 5 mph, the power steering failed, then both feet were used to stop the vehicle. It was taken to an independent repair shop who determined the power steering and brake booster system failed and both components were replaced.
Brakes failed to slow 2004 Suburban during low speed braking in wet weather causing a collision. Abs module is not working correctly in wet environment during a hard stop. I have owned several suvs and have never seen this problem in the others. I have the full dump of the obd speed plots just prior to the crash.
Brakes failed when applied at low speed with plenty of room to spare which resulted in a collision. Consumer made a search in the internet and found a similar complaint (odi: 10056005).
