SERVICE BRAKES
ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT RUPTURED DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION, RESULTING IN SEVERE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, AND NEAR COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING FORCE. REPLACED BOTH LINES ON THE ADVICE OF MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE OTHER LINE WAS JUST AS BADLY CORRODED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE BRAKE LINE FROM THE ABS CONTROL UNIT TO THE REAR BRAKES FAILED DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION IN DECEMBER OF 2012, RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. REPLACED THAT PORTION OF BRAKE SYSTEM, AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT BRAKE LINES STILL EXTANT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS BACKING MY VEHICLE FROM MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I NOTED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE LINE LEADING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE REAR ABS CONTROLLER WAS LEAKING FLUID ONTO THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BRAKE LINES ARE REPLACED. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ON THIS 2003 SUBURBAN ARE HEAVILY CORRODED AND LOOK READY TO FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
JUST FINISHED DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 1 HOUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT INCIDENT. PARKED CAR FOR 5 MINUTES, UPON TRYING TO RESTART, THE CAR DISPLAYED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CONSOLE. APPROXIMATELY 8 RESTARTS AND THE MESSAGE DID NOT DISPLAY. DROVE CAR 5 MINUTES AND PARKED IT FOR 1 HOUR, UPON RESTART DISPLAYED SAME MESSAGE, CAR WAS VIRTUALLY UNDRIVEABLE. 3 RESTARTS LATER MESSAGE NO LONGER DISPLAYED. THIS MESSAGE HAS NOW INTERMITTENTLY OCCURRED EVER SINCE SEEMINGLY WITHOUT ANY PATTERN. THE MESSAGE IS RELATED TO A FAILURE IN THE "DRIVE BY WIRE" SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF A PHYSICAL CABLE FROM THE GAS PEDAL. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO BE COMPLETELY UNDRIVEABLE UNTIL SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY FIXING ITSELF. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED HIGHWAY, WHEN THE UPCOMING INTERSECTION LIGHT TURNED RED. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND JUST KEPT GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THEN THE RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. IF THERE HAD BEEN, I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. I DROVE TO A NEARBY TRUCK STOP AND GOT SOME BRAKE FLUID, THE VEHICLE TOOK THE WHOLE CONTAINER. I HAD NO FORE-WARNING OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I CAREFULLY DROVE HOME AND BY THE TIME I GOT THERE, APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES, MY BRAKE FLUID WAS DOWN AGAIN AND THE BRAKES WERE FAILING AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE. AGAIN, THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AT ANY TIME UNTIL I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING AND THE REAR BRAKE LININGS WERE CORRODED AND LEAKING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS SUBURBAN NEW IN 2003. IN MAY OF 20011, I SUDDENLY HAD NO BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP AND GOING FORWARD IN PARKING LOT AFTER DRIVING FROM HOME TO STORE. TOOK THE SUBURBAN TO OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON CHEVROLET DEALER WHO SAID CAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO RUSTING OF BRAKE LINES THAT WERE LEAKING AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL BRAKE LINES. IN THE PREVIOUS WEEKS, I HAD DRIVEN THE SUBURBAN ON MOUNTAIN ROADS IN NATIONAL FORESTS IN THE AREA THAT WERE UNPAVED AND HAD STEEP INCLINES, WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A FAILURE ON THOSE ROADS OR ON PAVED HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE TRIP HOME. ALL BREAK LINES WERE REPLACED. THIS REQUIRED REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK THE SUBURBAN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE FRONT FUEL TANK VENT THAT WAS ALSO RUSTED AND WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS REQUIRED REPLACING THE FUEL TANK SINCE THE VENT WAS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY!! THE NEW TANK WITH VENT COST $829 DOLLARS BRINGING THE TOTAL COST OVER $3,000 DOLLARS. NOTE, I ALSO PURCHASED A 2003 HONDA ACCORD NEW, WHICH I STILL HAVE, AND HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR OVER 70,000 MILES AND IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT AS THE 2003 SUBURBAN, AND IT HAS NO SIGNS OF RUST ON THE BRAKE LINES OR FUEL LINES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SUBURBANS OF OTHER MODEL YEARS AND IT IS A LIFE ENDANGERING FAILURE. I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED BY CHEVROLET FOR THESE REPAIRS AND A RECALL ISSUED ALL SUBURBANS TO CHECK FOR THIS RUSTING OF THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES TO AVOID LOSS OF BRAKES THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE BOUGHT THE SUBURBAN IN VIRGINIA IN 2004 MOVED TO WASHINGTON STATE IN 2007. LIVED THERE FOR 4 YEARS AND NOW LIVE IN GUAM WHICH HAS BEEN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. THE 2003 SUBURBAN HAS SEEN VERY LITTLE SNOW AND WHEN IT HAS THE STATES WE HAVE LIVE IN USE SAND AND NOT SALT AND YES I KNOW GUAM IS A ISLAND. WHILE COMING HOME A CAR PULLED INFRONT OF US AND I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, I BARLEY STOPPED IN TIME WHICH WOULD OF BEEN NO PROBLEM IF THEY BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY (NOTE: GUAM'S MAX SPEED LIMIT ON THE ISLAND IS 35 MILES PER HOUR) . STILL IN TRAFFIC I HAD TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF WHICH TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE, LUCKY IT WAS UP HILL. THE SERVICE WARNING CAME ON TO CHECK BRAKES OF COURSE AT THIS TIME THEY WHERE COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR TAKING 100 FEET TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP THANK YOU K-MART PARKING LOT. THE BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY DRY AND A POOL OF BRAKE FLUID WAS BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS FAILURE THEY WORKED FINE ONE MINUTE THEN NOT THE NEXT. I AM NOW BEING QUOTED 1,100.00 DOLLAR REPAIR BY THE DEALERSHIP AND TO TOP IT OFF IT WILL BE ATLEAST 2 WEEKS TO GET THE PARTS FROM DETROIT SINCE THEY ONLY USE OEM PARTS. NOT TO MENTION THE RENTAL CAR BILL I WILL RACKING UP IN GUAM. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS 6 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THEY FAIL AGAIN WILL I BE SO LUCKY SINCE OEM PARTS ARE NOT STAINLESS STEEL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. THE CAR NO LONGER SLOW DOWN SO I DOWN SHIFTED TO SLOW THE CAR AND FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO STAY STOPPED. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR THE BRAKES COULD NOT KEEP THE CAR FROM MOVING. ONCE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND THEIR WAS NONE. THE BRAKE LINE FAILED AND ALL THE FLUID LEAKED OUT. I AM THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ANY FASTER SPEEDS, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND OCCURRED WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
TRAVELING FROM MA TO FL, STOPPED TO EAT DINNER AND CHANGE DRIVERS. WHEN WE RESUMED THE TRIP WE LOST THE BRAKES IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE RESTAURANT. A MECHANIC IN NC CAME OUT ON A SUNDAY MORNING TO HELP US. HE FOUND THE BRAKE LINE AT THE LEFT REAR AXLE HAD RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. HE SAID HE KEEPS A COIL OF BRAKE LINES IN STOCK SO HE CAN MAKE UP A BRAKE LINE FOR TRAVELERS FROM THE NORTH. WHEN I CALLED HIM TO TELL HIM WE LOST OUR BRAKES, HE SAID YOU ARE FROM THE NORTH, RIGHT? I THOUGHT IT WAS MY ACCENT BUT HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE GETS ENOUGH CALLS FOR THIS THAT HE KEEPS A COIL OF MATERIAL IN STOCK. WE ARE FORTUNATE IT WAS NOT IN CITY TRAFFIC OR AT A HIGHER SPEED. WHEN I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH I FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND AN ARTICLE THAT NHTSA WAS STUDYING THIS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH WHEN I SAW A DEER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DIDN'T RESPOND PROPERLY. INSTEAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE TOOK A LONG TIME TO SLOW TO A STOP. I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AND TESTED THE BRAKES; THEY DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE, AND EVEN THEN IT TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL FOUR BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND RUPTURED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STORED INDOORS AND DRIVEN VERY LITTLE IN THE WINTER MONTHS. THIS INCIDENT UPSET ME GREATLY AS IT PUT MY FAMILY IN SERIOUS DANGER. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES OF THAT MODEL YEAR. I HAVE OWNED 25 AUTOMOBILES OVER 45 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED, IF THIS HASN'T ALREADY OCCURRED, AND I IMPLORE YOU TO CONSIDER A SAFETY RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR *JS

MY LOW MILEAGE 2003 SUBURBAN HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW. IN MARCH 2011 MY BRAKE LINES FAILED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. UPON TAKING IT TO JBA CHEVROLET FOR REPAIRS, SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY REPLACED ROTTED BRAKE LINES IN 2003 AND 2004 GM PRODUCTS ALL DAY LONG. HE ALSO SAID THAT DURING THESE YEARS GM CHOSE NOT TO ANODIZE THEIR BRAKE LINES ON SOME MODELS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THIS HAD BEEN REPORTED TO THE NHTSA, HE TOLD US THAT CAR DEALERS AND REPAIR SHOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO FILE COMPLAINTS, THAT COMPLAINTS MUST COME DIRECTLY FROM THE CONSUMER. WHO ELSE WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN A CAR DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP ABOUT CONTINUING DEFECTS FOUND IN A CERTAIN MODEL VEHICLE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE? *TR

I CALLED AAA, WHO CAME AND TOWED ME TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD CORRODED AND I HAD LOST ALL BRAKE FLUID. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GROCERY STORE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN AND I NOTICED WHILE GOING TO LEAVE MY DRIVEWAY THAT WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY ROOM THAT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY THERE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN A SITUATION THAT REQUIRED SUDDEN HARD BRAKING, I EXPERIENCED AN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK REQUIRED A MUCH GREATER DISTANCE TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. THERE WAS NO ADVANCE WARNING LIGHT /SOUND UNTIL AFTER THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME ONE OF THE METAL BRAKE LINES HAD BLOWN OUT DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION, CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. THE OTHER BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO VERY CORRODED AND SEEPING BRAKE FLUID. ADDITIONALLY, MANY OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM (ROTORS, CALIPERS, BRAKE HOSES, BLEED VALVES, BACKING PLATES) WERE VERY RUSTED OR DETERIORATED AND FALLING APART.
