My break lights wont work , dealer states its computer . I had the truck 3 years. I had no idea I had no break lights till I took the truck for inspection.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2012

I have noticed that when decelerating & applying my brakes when approaching a stop that my vehicle actually will accelerate all of the sudden. This has happened on several occasions, not always, but enough for me to be concerned. My daughter also experienced this sudden acceleration when she was driving my Suburban. She, like me, said it happened when she was approaching a stop sign and was applying brake pressure. This should be investigated.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2012

When trying to come to a stop the vehicle seems to suddenly accelerate right before stopping. The vehicle is going less than 5 mph and it quickly lunges forward right before it gets completely stopped. Has done this on at least 3 different occasions. If I had been very close to the car/object in front of me I might have hit it.
