| Truck pulls when braking. tbs fix implemented with little to no improvement. last time at dealer, dealer said gmc has problem with 3/4ton suburban brakes but doesn't have fix. nothing he can do. truck has had combination valve replaced, rear shoes replaced, front pads replaced (5x total), calipers replaced, rotors replaced, tie rods replaced, idle arm replaced, steering box and pitman arm replaced, front brake hoses replaced, control arm bushings replaced, and aligned several times with no fix to the problem. braking at highway speeds it is very dangerous. you don't know which way the vehicle will go and how hard it will try to get there. as an engine designer i find it amazing that gm has a handling/safety issue of this magnitude. this is a big truck to have such a controlability problem. please help. a shaull | |||

| I've owned my gmc suburban less than two years and have had two sets of brake pads put on the vehicle. the brakes still do not act properly. the last set of rear brakespads was due to the rear axle seal leaking fluid all over them. last week the front brakes started vibrating upon stopping and they were replaced. i have owned several vehicles and i've never had this much trouble out of brakes. | |||
