The previous owner said the brakes wore quickly but we didn't realize how quickly until we had issues and got the repair information. New brakes about every 4 months are needed. Once they start wearing the pads and rotors are gone within a day. This time i nearly ran into someone they deteriorated so fast. I've read this seems to be a problem with many more of the same vehicles

I stopped to get gas anc cut my truck off. I got back in it and cut it on an drove about 30 yards i noticed a smell like burning wires. So i cut it off got out checked the outside the smell is only on the inside. Then i popped the hood an smelled the same smell. I pushed it and parked it. My clicker is not working to unlock or lock it, the lights will not go off and it makes the ringing sound as if the driver door is open even when it's not. I took the battery out to see if it was that but its fully charged.

My 1997 chevrolet suburban c-2500 is leaking oil from underneath the engine and making engine very "hot". This happens when i'm driving this vehicle.I touch the engine hood and feel that it's very, very hot. I just went home to prevent any fire or accident. My mechanic said it's not ordinary for this heavy duty truck to leak oil with only 77,000 miles. I need you to investigate my problem and contact gm. You can email me at [email protected] for an updates regarding this problems. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Thanks.
