When braking the ABS brake system locks. It locks up into a limited slip mode while braking at a normal stop. It does not brake correctly. It pumps badly while attempting to stop. This happens multiple time a day when driving. Have to break way before needing to because it will slip. Typically happens in parking lots and regular streets when using breaks. In motion. This has been happening since march 2020.

I have replaced the hub assembly, idler arm, & wheel bearings on both driver & passenger side of my vehicle. When I drive over 45 MPH my car makes an awful sound & no matter what I change or have fixed the parking brake/ABS lights stay on. I've had many mechanics look at & say they've fixed the issue but none have actually fixed it. I was driving 70mph on the highway & my brakes felt as if they were locking up.

I've owned this vehicle for one year. I am having trouble with the brake light constantly coming on, even driving down the road it comes on. Had the brakes replaced and fluid is good but it constantly comes on. At the same time I had my mechanic look because on occasion when it's put into park, it shuts itself off.

The ABS gradually came on. When applying the brakes, the wheels lock up and the blazer skids about a foot. I have had numerous near accidents because of the ABS. I took the blazer into the chevrolet dealership and they ran the VIN. I was told that there are no recalls for my blazer. However, according to the federal safety agency website, there are two recalls (00v055000 & 99v220000). I would like to know whether or not there are any recalls.

The anti-lock brakes on this vehicle have been malfunctioning for at least a year. The pump will surge at low speeds and if I am in a turn it will affect the steering. The left front wheel will lock up.

My 2000 blazer ls 2dr 4x4 has ipc problems. The ipc lights have gone out and do not illuminate the gauges, this is a safety hazard when driving. The ABS and parking brake indicator lights go on and off. The parking brake sticks and wont release. Due to the number of complaints, recalls, and service bulletins issued on these safety problems I think more should be done to hold the manufacturer responsible for repairing these defects. The first 11 digits of my VIN match at least 2 other vehicles first 11 digits and yet chevy doesn't feel they should fix the issue with all blazers. I am concerned with the safety of my vehicle.

2000 chevy blazer - ABS system activates at low speed. Has to drive into a ditch to avoid hitting a bicycler. Repair shop said wheel speed sensors are probably corroded. Gm has a recall in 2005 on large suvs but not the blazer, although it's the same sensor.

Abs engages at very low speeds on dry pavement. Brakes slip causing longer braking/stopping distance. Abs light comes on briefly after the event takes place. This presents for dangerous road conditions, especially in town/city environment where often instantaneous braking decisions occur (children playing, animals crossing, etc.).
