BRAKE FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS. ALMOST CAUSED A FEW ACCIDENTS (PARKING LOTS AND COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAD BRAKES, CALIPERS AND ROTORS PUT ON TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STARTED OUT ONCE SO OFTEN AND AROUND AUG. 2005 IT HAPPENED EVERYTIME I DROVE MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT REPAIRED. BOTH FRONT SPEED SENSORS WERE REMOVED AND CLEANED SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACES. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS IS NOTHING I COULD PREVENT FROM HAPPENING. DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I HAD AN OLDER SUBURBAN BEFORE THIS ONE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS STILL RUNNING AT 190,000 MILES. *JB
