Excessive brake system failure, pulling and wear is still an ongoing problem since the first day the vehicle was purchased. Brakes and system repaired every 500 to 2,500 miles by Chevy dealership or an auto center licensed to do Chevy warranty/out-of-warranty work. Brake conditions deteriorate rapidly once repaired. Calipers, rotors, proportional valve, delco brake pads, cyrogenic pads, idler arm, pitman arm, alignments, ABS, rear antilock sensor, all have been replaced, some excessively. Very concerned about possible accident resulting in fatalities due to brake performance. Fyi, the service center has shown me the tech bulletins published by Chevy regarding repairs/service to the brake system. The service center has worked on numerous vehicles with the same problem(s) that I have experienced with the Chevy Suburban brake system. All repairs/service on the Suburban (in- and out-of-warranty) are documented and are available if needed.
Whenever ABS brakes are applied, the pedal felt real mushy & pulled right or left. Would experience extended stopping distance. Been to dealer & was informed brakes being mushy, common problem. Another mechanic said possible defective proportional valve was the cause. Rear brakes will not apply in rain or snow.
