Known issues on the 1992 Suburban. Five entries sit on the federal record and the brakes dominate them. One covers trucks with vacuum-assisted, anti-lock-equipped brakes that stopped poorly, a shortfall traced to pedal feel. Another concerns a brake pedal pivot bolt that may never have engaged its locking material and can back out of the nut, taking brake control with it. A third involves rotors separating at a salt-corroded joint. The rest cover vented transmission fluid that can ignite and a leaking replacement fuel filter. Service brakes account for 155 of 207 complaints, ahead of visibility at 14.
