Some Chevrolet Suburban owners report experiencing ineffective brakes at low speeds, which could be attributed to several factors. These include the ABS engaging and pulsing the brakes even after checking or replacing brake lines, calipers, and pads. Additionally, some owners have replaced the speed sensors on both front hubs, yet the problem persists. Others note a spongy pedal feel when braking and turning the wheel, suggesting possible ABS intervention. In particular, 1999 Chevrolet Suburban owners report brake failure linked to the antilock system activating at low speeds, while 1996 models have similar complaints about malfunctioning ABS. Furthermore, some owners experience ABS activation during deceleration, potentially due to issues with the EBCM module or wheel speed sensors. Given these concerns, it is advisable for affected owners to have their ABS system and related components thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the underlying braking issues.
