#51 of 95 2007 suburban squeeking brakes by nascarhauler

07 suburban 1500 with roughly 24,000 miles. this truck has had 4 sets of brake pads since it was purchased 1 year ago due to very loud squeeking. i have been told that chevrolet has an updated pad due to all of the complaints. has anyone else heard of this. we have been blown off by several dealers but i found a dealer that seems to have found the update on chevy's tech support line. any information would be helpful

Check your bulbs, you have one with most likely a broken filament.

Yes i went out and got new bulbs and the problem still exists. The parking lights and everything else back there works fine.

Sounds to me like you have some burned out bulbs. Take the lens off the tail/backup light and check the bulbs. You should be able to see if the filiments are broken or not. Even if they look OK you might want to switch out the bulbs because sometimes you can't see the break in the filament. Bulbs are cheap, give it a try. If they still don't work you will at least have some spare bulbs after you find the real problem which is now probably wiring related.

Most likely your front rotors are warped.

My 96 suburban started having problems with brake lights and cruise control when it rained. Found a group of damaged wires where they pass from body to frame behind the kick panel next to the drivers left foot. I am tall and my foot rests against that panel but it might be more common as there was no chaffe protection for the wires.
