I was traveling south on 1-5 entering the vancouver-portland draw bridge. When a car stopped in front of me in the left hand lane. I dynamited my brakes and my blazer did not stop in the appropriate amount of time. It felt like I had a 4,000 pound trailer pushing me. I feel that the braking system should have stopped me sooner than it did. It took 6 to 10 seconds which should have been pleanty of time. On july 22, 1999 the eugene reg. Guard printed an article titled gm to fix more than 3.5 million vehicles. I have been to a local gm dealer and was informed that this was not an official recall but only an investigation. My concern is that the body is being done on the blazer but the dealer has told me that nothing can be done about the brakes until they receive an official recall from the manufacturer. I do not feel that I can trust my breakes at this time. Please advise me as to what avenues I can take to verify that my breakes are in working order and let me know if my vehicle is one those listed by the federal safety agency . A reply would certainly be appreciated. Joe poirier
Rear brakes froze, causing extended stopping distance which could result in a crash. Please provide further information.
Several occasions when the brakes failed to stop the vehicle (particularly going down hill) until well past the stop sign.
Vehicle rolled into intersection ABS brakes being applied -- it eventually stopped. Took to dealer (smith chv, turlock) -- he replaced shoes and said hydraulics and sensors were fine. Shoes still had some life on them. Vehicle stopped better, but still acted as if braking was intermittent. Took vehicle to american chv (modesto) -- found faulty front left ABS component and replaced. I want to note the first dealer was adament that there was no braking problem with the car, making me believe that an ABS failure is very hard to detect.
