While going 40mph another vehicle in front slammed on brakes. Chevrolet's driver applied brakes & ABS light came on. Pumped brakes 3 times and all wheels locked up. Vehicle went into a skid. Then into the left hand lane. Took foot off brakes to come out of skid. Vehicle finally stopped. Took vehicle back to dealership & had it checked. Noticed rotor broke in half, it was not corroded. Pads sitting on mounting had broke away from each other.

The anit-lock brake light is not on, but several time the vehicle has gone into a skid with no control. The brakes lock and unlock at a slow enough rate to cause a hopping that driver and passengers can feel and cause a skid. Took in for service told drums and rotors have been overturned, replaced still not working properly. The vehicle and brake pedal hops when stopping normal or hard. Thought there was going to be a recall on the anit-lock brake system so been holding off, dealer wants over $700 to fix and then if recalled get money back"!"

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.

Vehicle is used for pulling a trailer. Went to have brake work done, and noticed afterwards that brakes were grabbing, and pedal was low. Took it back to the dealer, who said this was an inherited problem with this particular model. Also, they replaced front disc brakes, and drums were turned.
