Abs engages at slow speed in normal driving conditions and occasionally following braking when cornering. Decrease in braking distance also noticed as it feels as if slipping occurs in brakes. Grinding noise also attendant to this situation. Dealer service replaced sensor and hub assembly. Brakes had been replaced previously at 70,000 miles, which I consider too early on this vehicle.

Also, 7/26/00, brakes pulled more on one side/grinding and smoking/rr return springs stated "weak and premature wear. " at 13, 345 miles, brakes inspected and dealership stated calipers wkd. As per dsgned. At 8662 miles, battery failed. At 14, 681 miles, a/c system inoperable. Manifold hose was crimped and kinked. Hose replaced and system recharged. Grinding in rear reported. Dlrshp. Couldn't duplicate. At 18, 9091 miles, brakes grinding and pulling left; burning smell in a/c unit. Grinding still exisiting in rear of vhcle. Grinding sound in steering column. Hesitation when accelerating. Driver door not locking as vechicle driver door handle was pried (attempted break-in) into and door was damaged durin a/c service 2 mos. Prior. Dealship would not pay for repair and said I would have to pay @ $200. 00. Lf brakes were metal to metal at that time/rear shoes were replaced/front pads replaced/both rotors were machined/lf rotor grooved too deep and replaced/road tested/still pulls left/swapped pads and tires fr. Side to side/vehicle still pulls left/re-built calipers/vehicle still pulls left/swapped rotors, now vehicle pulls right/rt. Side rotor blue from heat/replaced rf rotor/road tested and dlrshp. Stated, "operates normally. " unable to duplicate grinding in drive train or rear braking system per my complaint (again). Evo sensor replaced in power steering system/dlrshp. Could not duplicate hesitation when accelerating. One week later, at 19,000 miles, taken to dlrshp. Due to grinding underneath in rear of vehicle (6th request!!! or more), front end vibrates at 55mph and higher, mad shaking as if vehicle was going to roll when applying brakes going downhill at any speed. I was told repair paprwk would be mailed to me; hv not rcvd it. I have no idea what was done, but it had 2 wks. Worth of brake wk this last time arnd. I picked vhcle up on fri.

Brakes on 1999 chevy Suburban k1500 have been problem since day 1. Dealer ( now defunct) spent much time and money trying to fix. 5 sets of pads, 2 sets of rotors etc. Etc. Vehicle now will not stop below 10 mph unless anti-lock is disabled (pulling fuse) gm has acknowledged problem in similar vehicles as corroded anti-lock sensors but refuses to include this same model, thereby eliminating any fix by them. This known safety issue is causing strife as my wife now refuses to drive a vehicle with questionable brakes. The problem gm faces with anti-lock brakes is a major one and could cost them billions if admitted. Is there any way to get some action on this?.

Was slowing down to approximately 20mph & getting ready to park heard the brake sensor warning sound. Had no brakes after warning system sounded. The brakes failed at 12,000 miles. Brought vehicle in 6/98. Dealership said brakes were not under warranty & would not repair them.

Consumer complaint regarding 1997 Suburban braking malfunctions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that two sensors were needed because the current ones were corroded. The consumer experienced the same symptom as described in the recall for the 1998-2002 vehicles.
