Five problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 1999 GMC Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
: the contact stated when the brake pedal was depressed during a low-speed braking situation, there was a vibration in the pedal which felt as if the abs had activated. After this incident there was an increased the stopping distance of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, where it was determined that the abs sensor was rusted. There was a NHTSA recall # 05v379000, which pertained to the hydraulic antilock brakes. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
: updated 10/17/2006 - the vehicle wheel sensor failed due to corrosion on the abs sensors. This caused the abs to active while braking at low speeds, less than 5 mph. The vehicle would travel 5-20 feet before coning to a complete stop. This is caused when the wheel sensors lose output voltage on one or more wheels which tells the controller that the wheel is locked up and releases brake pressure so it wont continue to skid. This failure has caused the consumer to hit his garage door while pulling into his driveway. The consumer has pulled the fuse on the abs system.
: the contact stated while driving at 5 mph the abs sensors cause an increased stopping distance. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v379000, regarding the service brakes, hydraulic: anti-lock. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.
