Recall 99v19 000: anti-skid brakes. Parts were not available.

Filed Jun 16, 2000 · Brakes · MD · crash

There is a recall on the ABS on 1994 4wd s10's, but gmc says it does not apply to my VIN. This loss of braking power during ABS-action occurs during sustained braking (as opposed to during full panic stops). Two rear-end collisions have resulted. Chevy dealer "inspected" brakes, charged me $50, and said they were okay. Now I can neither drive the truck or in good conscience sell it.

Abs braking system and the fire that resulted in the total loss of the vehicle. Caused by the ABS system, forcing fluid out of the reservoir and onto the hot manifold, igniting the fluid. The excessive pressure was the cause of the brake caliper hanging up. The excessive wear on the brake pads and the final cause of the fire.

I have spent a year arguing with gm about the brake failure. In april of 96 they denied in writing that there were any problems with my brake system. (I had take my blazer in numerous times for that specific problem) I read an article in USA today stating that they were recalling vehicles from 94 and up. My vehicle being a 1994 s10 blazer, fell under this. I contacted gm and they told me to take it in and have the brakes repaired I took my vehicle in 08feb 00, and the dealer stated that my vehicle's computer could not be reprogrammed and therefore they could not fix it. I called gm and now they say my vehicle is no under that recall policy. This is not what they told me earlier and everything I have read shows that my vehicle should have been recalled. Can someone explain to me what the heck is going on? My brakes have gone out 5 times since I owned the truck. The last time my wife and son were inan accident beacause of this. Gm is taking advantage of rolling the dice because they know the little guy can't go out and hire a lawyer. I want my truck fixed, how do I get this done. Please e-mail me a response. Thank you.
