What owners say
Have done everything that I know of to correct the problem. Braking system is still spongy after turning the rotors and drums, installined new pads , and bleeding the front brakes. As far as I know, all recalls have been performed. At the moment it is an accident waiting to happen. Any other complaints about the brakes on 95 blazers? What can I try next? Thanks.
In panic stops, it feels like the brakes are not working. The pedal gets spongy and feels like sliding on ice. Looked up the federal safety agency list, mfg campaign 19i005000 is listed for this problem. Chevrolet via 1‑800‑222‑1020 number says no such campaign exists.
