general problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Suburban

The hydro booster is defective. The car triggers my breaks and makes noises make steering braking difficult. It happens everyfay throught the day while im driving.

Brake/abs light on and ecbm for abs not working no anti lock brake system and for the electrical vehicle has all kinds of electrical issues had to remove fuse to radio because of it going bonkers and it wouldn't turn off or down sounds like a fax machine or old school dial up internet sounds all the time and siren sounds were coming from radio and speakers only way to make it stop was to pull the fuse and have had to get multiple four wheel alignments because of steering and steering has to much play in it before Suburban turns.

Tl the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing the same failure as listed in NHTSA campaign number: 04v045000 (service brakes, hydraulic). There were no warning indicators illuminated. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the brake booster system needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 192,000.

Rusted breake lines, parked in driveway could not use brakes after starting the car.

Abs breaks kicking in at low speed and not stopping almost wrecked several times.

Brake modulating system spontaneously caught on fire while parked in my driveway. Once the fire was put out, the car would no longer start.

Headed out on a quick trip into town. As I turned off of the the street I live on I came to a stop sign and as I went to hit the brakes they went all the way to the floor and I could not stop my vehicle in time. I was lucky because I was going downhill at the time but as luck would have it, no cars were at the stop sign and I was able to go through the stop sign and turn left onto an uphill road and let gravity stop my vehicle. Had this had happened once I hit the busy street I was headed to it would have killed someone else as well as myself! I have read that this problem has been reported and no recall from Chevrolet. . . That is just a crime, in my opinion!.

The vehicle was taken to dealer where it was to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 91,000.

I was driving at low speed when I pressed my foot on the brake and it went completely to the floor. Looked under the vehicle and the brakeline had rusted through the line.

I was driving down the road and the brake pedal went to the floor when I tried to apply the brakes. I had to repeatedly pump the brakes to get the Suburban to stop. I am lucky that I was not pulling the boat when this happened.

During stop and go traffic, the brakes were applied suddenly and the pedal went to the floor. The "service brake system" warning message came on as well as the brake "idiot" light.

Driving on small residential street. As I approached a stop sign I applied brakes and pedal went to the floor and I steered into the curb to stop vehicle. When I stopped shaking I called my husband and he came with a friend who is a mechanic. When they raised the hood they saw brake fluid everywhere. When we got the car home and inspected it further the mechanic was horrified to see that everything under there was corroded and rusted. Including bushings gas lines, nuts and bolts etc. He claimed he had never seen anything like it in his life. This is the third Suburban I have owned and I am very upset that this would happen. I was all set to have my 20 yr old son take this up to school so he could move out of his dorm. He could have been seriously hurt if this had happened on the new jersey turnpike.

Was driving at a very low rate of speed; trying to stop when what felt like the antilock brakes kicked on and the message "traction active" appeared on my console. This made it very difficult to control and stop the vehicle. Then when trying to accelerate, vehicle would lug down and not want to go. There was also a noise, like a pump or something when trying to brake or accelerate. Turning off the stabilitrack seems to stop this from happening, which in turn means I do not have antilock brakes. This is a huge safety issue, especially if trying to merge, pass through an intersection or while driving at a high rate of speed.
