1999 Chevrolet Suburban K1500 review from North America

"The worst purchase I have ever made"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had to have the front brakes replaced 13 times since I have had the vehicle. They only last approx. 6-7000 miles before the brake pads wear out and warp the rotors. I have had the ABS system replaced at 25k miles also. I have tried to get GM to find out why this problem is occurring, but all they wanted to do is just change the pads (a band-aid fix). Now that the warranty is out they want to totally tear the system apart to figure out the reason this is happening (by the way at my exepense first until they find out the problem, but they cannot give me a cost of this procedure until after it is complete). By the way I don't tow anything with my suburban and it is mostly driven on highway.

The electrical system in the dash seems to be going out. I can't figure out why. I have checked all of the fuses and they seem to be OK. the dash lights seen to flicker. The battery tests good so it isn't that.

General comments?

I have owned another Suburban before this one. It was a 1992 2wd with a 350 motor and it was the best vehicle I have ever owned. 169,000 miles on it when I sold it to get my new one. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made in the vehicle purchasing game. My 1999 Suburban is the worst vehicle I have ever owned.
