In owners' words
What Blazer owners report
Recent service brakes, hydraulic complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN A NORMAL BRAKING SITUATION. THE ABS DID NOT ENGAGE, THEREFORE THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM HAD MALFUNCTIONED.…
I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TAKE EFFECT. I READ IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1999 TO 2003 GM SUV'S. MY QUESTION IS, WAS THERE…
TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON A RECALL FOR ABS BRAKE FAILURE. PRIOR TO TAKING THE VEHICLE IN THE BRAKES WERE NOT DEFECTIVE. THEY LOCKED UP AND THEN FAILED ALTOGETHER. *AK
