22 year old son was driving 1995 blazer to odu university for morning class on interstate , traffic was slowing down, son took foot off gas, traffic started to stop, applied brakes and ABS braking system did not respond (blazer did not stop, son said blazer felt like it was on ice ), causing a 4 car accident, contacted chevrolet to respond to the federal safety agency recall on braking issue, chevrolet will not make commitment but will send someone to look at blazer, as this problem has caused my son to receive a ticket from the va state police for reckless driving and failure to maintain proper control?????, it is of extreme importance that we find out what went wrong with this braking system before my son will have to go to court 10-12-99 , and how many more will experience this before the federal safety agency and chevrolet reports this information to everyone involved!!!!.as this is causing considerable grief, and inconvenience ! Please respond asap, as of this date blazer is at chevrolet dealer and can not be repaired until it is inspected by a chevrolet rep. Thank you , n.t. Guess sr.
While driving to work going down a hill vehicle cut off. Engine check light and brake light came on. Lost all power. Contacted dealer who claimed that it might be bad gas.
When brakes are applied vehicle experiences extended stopping distance, and the brake pedal would sink to the floor. Dealer/manufacturer were not contracted at this time.
After making a left hand turn and proceeding approximately 60 feet , vehicle lost control on a black ice covered area of street., vehicle then departed ice traveling over a curb,(braking began prior to going over curb), then continued over a snow covered parkway, then over a shoveled sidewalk, and then striking the entrance to a building approx 40 feet away, standing on the brake pedal would not engage the brakes, on december 1999 a letter was recieved from chevrolet describing the condition which was identified by the federal safety agency , there is no doubt in my mind that this was the cause of my vehicles failure to stop, the braking failed completely under these conditions
Excessive wear of brake pads;.vehicle have four sets of brake pads replaced from 11,200 mile up to the present at 50,000 miles. Dealer notified.
Vehicle would not stop at major highway intersection. While I was trying to stop, the vehicle proceeded thru two (2) south bound traffic lanes, then across a paved divider (about equivalent to two highway lanes), then across another two (2)traffic lanes and onto the grassy shoulder of the northbound lanes where the vehicle rolled over one time and came to rest on it's roof. The vehicle behaved as if it was not slowing down at all. The roadway was dry but had some gravel and sand spill on it. Thank god for seat belts! This vehicle had a brake problem at 756 miles (ABS light would come on while driving) dealer was notified. The vehicle had a total brake failure at 2933 miles. Since veh could not be driven safely dealer had to send truck & tow vehicle 30 miles to shop where ABS valve assy needed repair/replacement. Another brake problem (leaking fluid at top of ABS module) was reported to dealer and repaired at 7077 miles. We have all documentation papers for these instances in the event you would like to examine these repair orders.
