| We own a 1999 gmc suburban . we are the original owners of this vehicle which has never (til this time) been in a crash. on perfectly dry pavement, the brakes malfunction while coming to a stop. it sounds and feel like the antilock brakes are pulsating and greatly reduces my braking capability which is extremely dangerous. this occurs while coming to a stop from a speed of approximately 5-10 mph. i respectfully request that an immediate repair be performed and be paid for by gm as quickly as possible. kindly contact me as soon as possible as we transport our children and other adults on many occasions. thank you in advance for your assistance. *tr | |||

| Repeated excessive wear on front brake pads and now on rear brake drums. we are very conservative drivers and typically get 80-100,000 miles on a set of brakes. this is our second set of front pads. we do tow heavy loads. the suburban is equipped with a heavy duty towing package . it has already had the steering gear box replaced by the dealer. the front pads have been replaced once and the rear brakes have been adjusted, also the master cylinder has been replaced by the dealer. the brakes just do not seem of sufficient capacity to stop a vehicle of this mass towing load. we've owned suburban's since 1973 so we do feel we have a degree of experience in this area. finally when the vehicle is driven at highway speeds and a bump is hit, the entire electrical system shorts out for approximately 1/6-1/5 of a second causing everything to go dark. i suspect an exposure in a wiring harness. *jb *****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis****763731 | |||

| Dt*: 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. *nm | |||
