The passenger side rear door window breaks when the window is down for no reason. I have had to replace it 4 times in the last 60 days. There appears to be no dammage to any of the inside of window or the window regulator. The vehicle was stationary and my daughter opened the door and the window broke.

Driving approx 50 MPH on 4 lane highway. When slowing for red light ahead, noticed brake pedal going closer to floor than normal. Vehicle was not slowing as normal, and brake pedal was staying close to the floor. Got stopped and pulled to side of road. Check of master cylinder revealed brake fluid level to be approx. Half full. Upon checking under vehicle, I saw brake fluid pouring out from the gas tank shield.

Coming to a stop light the brake pedal went to the floor. Only way I could stop was by using the electric brakes on my trailer to stop the combined vehicle. Examination revealed a rusted brake line coming from the brake master cylinder to the ABS module at the ABS module under the vehicle. Further examination revealed that the 4 brake lines from the ABS module to the wheels were all rusted/pitted and about ready to rust through.

I have owned my 2001 chevy suburban since january of 2008. I have replaced the fuel pump 3 times and today will be my 4th. I have spent thousands of dollars on the same part over and over. The last time it was replaced my mechanic advised us to keep at least 1/4 tank of gas in the tank which I have tried to do. But even doing this the fuel pump seems to go about every 15 months, just outside the warranty. Its ridiculous, there is no way I should be replacing fuel pumps at this rate.
