2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

MY WIFE HAD DRIVEN THE SUBURBAN LIKE ALWAYS AND WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE PARKED IT AND IT SAT UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. I WALKED OUT TO IT AND FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE I SAW A LARGE PUDDLE UNDERNEATH MY DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN I TURNED ON MY TRUCK THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND WHEN I SHIFTED INTO GEAR I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE OUT. I CONTACTED GM AND GAVE THEM THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER (EA11001) BUT SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THEIR SYSTEM THEY CANNOT COVER ANYTHING. I SEE THAT THIS ISSUE IS THE SECOND ONE OPENED AND THIS ONE HAS BEEN OPENED SINCE JAN 5, 2011. *TR

VEHICLE BRAKING IS INTERMITTENTLY AFFECTING DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING. THE ABS ENGAGES PULSING THE BRAKES AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE BRAKING ABILITY AT LOW SPEEDS. THE BRAKE LINES, CALIPERS, AND PADS HAVE ALL BEEN CHECKED OR REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE SPEED SENSORS ON BOTH FROM HUBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I HAVE TRIED TO CONSISTENTLY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON VARIOUS GRADES, TERRAIN, TURNING DIRECTION, AND SPEED WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE FAILURE IS INTERMITTENT AND NO WARMING EXISTS PRIOR TO FAILURE. *TR

WITH OUT WARNING, UPON APPROACHING A STOP SIGN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.THANK THE LORD I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY USING MY E BRAKE. OTHER WISE I WAS LOOKING AT A BIG TREE. THIS WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE.I THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LINES WHERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.MIND YOU THIS 2002 SUBURBAN HAD AT THE TIME 42,000 MILES. THE TOTAL COST WAS JUST SHY OF $2,000.00. I ALSO HAD THIS TRUCK UNDER COATED WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. TO DATE 7-11-2014 I HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE JOBS 3RD BEING TODAY. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE MECHANIC I SHOULD GET RID OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE ENTIRE UNDERNEATH IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. *TR

VARIOUS INCIDENTS OF VEHICLE DYING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH. DOES NOT DO IT WHEN COLD. HAS FAILED TO START ALSO. AFTER WAITING 10-20 MINUTES ENGINE MAY START AND CONTINUE WITHOUT PROBLEM TO DESTINATION. HAVE CHANGED SENSOR WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT OF PROBLEM. LOCAL GARAGE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE SOLUTION AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT INTO SERVICE WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. MANY PROBLEMS GETTING OFF THE ROAD WHEN INCIDENT OCCURS. HAVE HAD 4-5 OCCURRENCES AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. *TR

VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO STOP WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. PARKING IS SO HARD TO DO, THAT I PARK AT LEAST 4 SPACES FROM OTHER VEHICLES WHENEVER POSSIBLE. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS KICKING IN WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE. NO ABS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS OCCURS. WHEN I AM TRAVELING SLOWLY DOWNHILL, PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS, ETC. THE BRAKES WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY, IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL IS PUSHING BACK AT ME, THE BRAKES MAKE A STRANGE GROWLING SOUND, AND THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO STOP. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, AND SOMETIMES IT STILL WILL NOT STOP, SOMETIMES IT WILL BRAKE VERY SUDDENLY. WHEN PICKING UP/DROPPING OFF MY KIDS AT SCHOOL, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS THAT WERE MERE INCHES FROM BECOMING TRAGEDIES. I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO CARRY MY 4 CHILDREN IN, OR I WOULD STOP USING THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT PART OF IT (PER CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800-222-1020). I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE FLUID CHECKED OFTEN, I HAVE HAD BRAKE PADS REPLACED AS WELL, IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. IT HAS NOW BECOME A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I AM GOING TO SEE IF ANY SHOP NEARBY HAS DEALT WITH THIS BEFORE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE JUST DIED. IT DOES IT ON EXTREMELY HOT DAYS AND AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS FOR THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF AND IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
