1995 Chevrolet Blazer brakes complaints
Page 8 of 19: complaints 191 to 220 of 531, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. Was unable to stop with foot on brakes (ABS). Had to shift into park to stop. Had vehicle towed to dealership & mechanic was unable to determine the cause of sudden acceleration.
Sudden acceleration; went to apply brakes, and the brakes jammed.consumer contacted dealer and manufacturer.
While braking at a red traffic signal a small bump in the road caused the ABS system to activate causing the vehicle not to slow down.more pressure was put on the brake pedal with no response, if another vehicle was in front a collision would have occured.
I have been plagued with constant brake problems on my '95 blazer. It has been in the shop since I purchased it over 10 times for the brakes alone. I recently heard about the brake recall warning issued by you (the federal safety agency) and immediately called ed morse chevrolet and spoke with a service manager. He advised me your report was false and you are re-issuing a statement to the contrary. He told me the warning had "nothing to do with my particular blazer" and that I would not be included in any recall or warning presently. My brakes have been a nightmare for me, I am afraid of braking system, but have no choice but to drive the vehicle. I had my attorney write a letter to ed morse, to no avail. I finally went to an outside mechanic who attempts to keep me safe by regularly checking my braking system. What I would like to know is am I included in this recall alert 99v193000 or the federal safety agency campaign number 991006000? Any help that you can give me will be so appreciated. Thank you..francesca bealert
While braking at a railroad crossing the ABS system engaged causing extended stopping distance.
While braking at intersection,a small bump caused the ABS system to engage causing extended stopping distance and a collision
No summary
#1 - failure of antilock brakes to stop car. This has occurred on multiple occasions and under a variety of conditions and speeds. Most frequent at low speeds and on wet roads. When I step on the brakes they make a clicking or chattering noise the car slows as if to stop then lurches forward another 5-8 feet. I have complained to the dealer I purchased it but they were never able to duplicate the problem. No mention of the ongoing investigation. Blazers and jimmy's are also subject to excessive front brake wear. After replacing my front brakes 4 times and contacting dealerships I was told to expect to replace my front brakes every 12-18,000 miles. When I questioned this approach they said the brakes were changed in 1997 to address the problem. Questionl: could excessive front brake wear be linked to the ABS problem. If brakes think car is in 4 wheel drive wouldn't they apply more pressure to stop than if in 2-wheel drive. Another possible link is the excessive brake dust which accumulates on the front tire covers. Never seen this on any other model. I certainly hope that your investigation into the ABS problems can be extended to evaluate the entire braking system in these cars. When I called chev. Customer service to ask when the ABS recalls would begin they claimed that they didn't know and that it really wasn't an official recall yet. #2 - coolant mixed with transmission fluid in area of radiator, caused transmission fluid to be dumped, major damage to transmission & radiator. Dealer covered because they have "seen this problem before". Isn't this worthly of a recall? How many people have paid for major repairs caused by this defect. How long can I trust my transmission which was repaired not replaced? Can this happen again?
While braking during rainly weather the anti-lock brakes locked up resulting in loss of control causing the vehicle to skid into the rear of another vehicle. Nlm
Abs brakes failed causing vehicle to hit another vehicle from behind. Airbags did not deploy during collision.
The ABS light keeps coming on. Had 3 different dealers check & nothing was found. The 4th dealer located problem as ecu malfunctioned. Abs system & egr valve needed to be replaced. The brakes were replaced before, but problem still exists.
Phone call and letter sent to gm cust. Svc. Dept. Troy mi, w/copy to tx oag and the federal safety agency
The front brake pads and rotors are prematurely wearing and have to be changed every six months due malfunction with in the brake system. Also, consumer has a concern with the egr valve with has been replaced five times, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
When the brakes are applied pedal goes all the way to the floor, vehicle seems to accelerate before the brakes start to work , also if they are pressed to hard the vehicle will slide and the brakes make a grinding sound. Dealer has been contacted.
Since the vehicle was purchased the brakes have been "soft". The brake system and pads have been found to be o.k.. In december the brakes failed and a collision occured. My mechanic feels the brake failure is due to a faulty ABS. I heard on my local news station there had been a recall on the ABS in my vehicle. I contacted my dealer, but they said there had not been a recall. I would like any info on the recall or class action suit.
While driving on wet pavement, pedal traveled to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Please give any further details.
Valves, brake booster, master cylinder have been replaced by several gm auhorized delears but wouldn't fix the problem
Ten + brake failures during the course of four years. Complained to the dealer numerous times - everyone from sales to service denied they had received any complaints about ABS brakes. Have paid dealer twice to replace drums, pads, turn rotors, etc. When I explained what the brakes were doing. This is a major safety hazard.
Have had major engine problems since first year of ownership. Had to replace battery 3 times (first time within first year), have been stranded because of a "no-start" problem 6 times since purchase, dealer and two other mechanics cannot find cause, brakes have a very poor performance and must be replaced frequently, fuel pump replaced, ignition replaced, now the engine has "blown" all on a vehicle that has been properly maintained and not abused. This is the most unreliable, costly, stress-cuasing vehicle I have ever owned and I would like chevrolet to take some responsibility for a very poorly built (lemon) car.
Brake line between frame & body, located in front of tire which leads to the rear brakes, rubs against the body, allowing fluid to leak and leaving vehicle without brakes. Can the federal safety agency help in this matter or provide additional information.
Check engine light keeps coming on. Vehicle would shut off when coming to a stop. Also, brakes would fail when applied & would not stop vehicle.
Defective throttle plate got stuck, causing the vehicle to suddenly accelerate.also, braking system would not work. Had to turn off the vehicle in order to stop. Please provide further information.
Vehicle will stall when braking hard if fuel tank has less than 1/4 tank of gas. Originally reported to dealer while vehicle still under warranty, dealer said this was 'normal' for this vehicle. The dealer explained that when the fuel tank is low it is possible for the fuel pump to go 'dry' under certain braking conditions causing the engine to be starved of fuel thereby stalling the engine. To date vehicle has stalled a total of five times under these circumstances, I do not feel that it is 'normal' for a vehicle to stall when there is fuel left in the tank. The incident reported here almost caused an accident, I was braking and making a right turn at the time, when the engine stalled I lost power steering and power brakes, this made the vehicle almost impossible to control in the turn. Fortunately the vehicle behind me was able to maneuver around my stalled vehicle.
Erg valve failed 5 times.causes brake failure while driving.dealer unable to correct.
When appyling the ABS brakes the pedal traveled to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
When brakes were applied pedal became hard and went to the floor , resulting in extended stopping distance, and causing the power booster to go. The dealer has inspected the vehicle.
Abs module and left wheel speed sensor failed resulting in brake failure.
Front brakes developed squeal replace pads turn rotors calipers fliped over replaced replaced pads with raybestos pads 3 monthes later{2000} miles squealing again! Pedal also feels spongy.
Ea94038, ABS braking system prematurely engaged when going over a speed bump at 10 MPH in which brake pedal went to the floor, causing extended stopping distance, which may result in a crash. Dealer serviced the brakes. Problem still exists. Please provide further information.
