Two problems related to brake master cylinder have been reported for the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Rollling down my drive way my brakes went out. Very spongy. Pressed multiple times and was able to come to a stop with the help of my front bushes. Master cylinder is full brakes are less than a year. I see online that this is a problem with 2014-2018 chevy trucks and suvs. If my wife was driving she could have been hurt. Heaven forbid my kids where in there too. This is obviously a defect in manufacturing and design and should be remedied by chevy.
