Engine bearing failure: premature, chevrolet accepts no responsibility, no offer to help repair (probably linked to odi id's 717356,465597,837150,525624,811729, and 487859. ||| ABS brake failure: occurred while attempting to avoid a collision. Truck skidded for over 90 feet before striking curb and utility fixtures. Gm denied any possibility that the brakes failed. Gm offered no assistance to have brakes examined or repaired for defects. ||| cruise control - stopped working. ||| transfer case failure - truck tries to engage 4wd intermittently while driving (grinding noise). First trip to dealer, said that the problem was brakes ($400 later still grinding). 2nd time, problem found to be defective vacuum switch (damage occurred inside transfer case due to failure). 3rd time chevrolet recommends replacing engine for bearing failure before starting on the transfer case. ||| all cases, gm declined financial assistance. In the case of ABS brake failure, gm reps did not want to talk to me or look at the problem. I am tired of dealing with chevrolet's customer no-service group!!!

Dealership does not have parts to correct recall campaign (99i-006).
Abs failure; brakes wont hold you have to manually pump the the brakes to stop. This happens if the road is wet or dry. Abs light comes on and off while driving some times the brakes work some times they dont .

Had slowed for an upcoming red light -applied brakes which initially acted as though they were operating properly then suddenly as though there were no brakes. You had the sensation you were speeding up rather than slowing. Cranked the wheel hard and hit only the back bumper of the brand new ford explorer in front of us. The brake pads are fine. The vehicle was purchased with 40,000 + miles on it in october of 1994 and has been serviced every 3000 miles , brales replaced when necessary and maintenence done. Their was plenty of brake pedal and the failure has occurred two times only. When I contacted the dealer in couer d'alene, idaho (knutsen chevrolet) I was told by the service manager that it must be the master cylinder --not based on any inspection but on the miles on the vehicle) I was told there was no recall or notice. I was later told that there was a problem with the anti lock brakes, by another dealer in yakima, washington, and that they had not been provided with the parts to correct the problem at this date. The brake.
This is not the first time that insufficient braking was noticed. The ABS system on this occasion failed on dry roads when attempting to slow the vehicle, not even in an emergency stop.

Abs system failed after making sudden stop at slow speed.
The crash was recent (01/2000), but there have been many close calls. All were unnecessary as the anti-lock brakes on this vehicle have been on recall since july 1999, last year. We contacted the dealer and he said recalls are a process that takes time and to be patient. That was before the accident. The brakes on this blazer, when the pedal is shoved with all your strength will just slow down slowly. We have been very fortunate not to have been injured in this vehicle and gm knows it. I honestly believe that they are hoping people get rid of them so they cqan avoid the repairs, but ours was purchased new by my brotherts with every option and has been excellently cared for. It is in great shape except for the "deathtrap" brakes. (unsellable cond.) help!!
