I was slowing down to come to a stop when my brakes failed. The more I pressed my brakes the faster the truck started to accelerate and the rear tires were spinning. I pressed the emergency brakes and they failed also. The only way of stopping was for me to throw it in park. While trying to brake the brake went to the floor.

While driving at 30 MPH and applying the brakes. Pedal went to the floor, and brakes failed. Resulting in extended stopping distance.
Took 95 blazer in for a standard brake job. Upon going home from work in the heat of the day, my brakes were locked up. I could not push down the brake pedal at all. Almost hit 3 cars before able to pull over and call a tow. Was told they put on the wrong brake pads and shoes and they were replaced at no charge. Two days later, (things seemed ok), I was driving in the mountains of colorado (hwy) and turned off to a curving steep road. All of a sudden I had no brakes. I could not push down on the bake pedal at all, again. I stoped the vehicle by downshifting and finally, the emergency brake. 5 minutes earlier and I would have been on a major curvey highway, packed with saturday travelers. I calmed down and within a few minutes I had brake pedal action and my friend drove the car back to the shop knowing we did have emergency brakes. The mechanic couldn't believe it and checked everything that could be associated with a brake problem and replaced my master cylinder at no charge. He kept the vehicle 2 days and drove it to make sure everything was ok. He had no problems. I got the vehicle back, assurred that everything possible was checked out and nothing could be found wrong. The following day, I drove to work and on my way home, again in the heat of the day and about 20 minutes into the drive, my brakes failed for the 3rd time in 8 days, again with absolutely no pedal movement. I stopped using my emergency brake in 6 lane traffic going 40+ MPH. The car was towed back to the mechanic. Absolutley everything checks out including the ABS system computer sensors. I will never drive this vehicle again and am absolutely terrified of it (3 failures in 8 days). It is sitting in my garage because I don't (and the mechanic) have no idea what could be causing this. I cannot sell it as is and desperately want this fixed.
The car surged and lost oxygen to brakes, etc. I have had exhaust system replaced, new tires, new computer e prom, egr valve cleaned numerous times, new injector unit installed, brakes replaced, total tuneup to try and rectify the problem. I still continue to have to have the carbon cleaned out of the egr valve as the car will not run properly. I purchased the blazer from ricko ent. Inc. 16 moulton rd, rochester, nh, 03867.also known as first city motor sales in rochester nh. The owner, richard ottino agreed to cover the cost of repairs but never did. The total of repairs that I have paid to date is $1,266.00. I sent the dealership a certified letter with all copies of the repair bills.
We have had numerous problems with the egr valve being clogged!now we have had problems with the fuel system.we have had the fuel pump changed, and now it's back in the shop due to the spider.the ABS brakes also don't work properly.are there recalls due to the fuel system?

The egr valve was cleaned but the problem persisted.

The fuel injections needed to be checked, and there were two recall stickers on the engine. *scc the rear wiper motor, fuel injectors and brakes were replaced.
