ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON, THEN THE CAR STARTS CHUGGING AND SHUDDERING AND SOUNDS AND FEELS AS IF IT WILL SHUT DOWN. I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK IN TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ANYTHING OVER 20 MPH, IF IT EVEN ACCELERATES AT ALL. I USUALLY END UP COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE DOWN. I LET IT SIT AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT LET ME GO AGAIN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD CONSTANT BRAKING ISSUES. FROM CONTINUAL ROTOR REPLACEMENTS TO REGULAR PAD REPLACEMENTS. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NEVER BEEN CONSTANT WITH REGARD TO PRESSURE AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN"SOFT" WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE LAST 25 FEET OR SO THERE IS A VIBRATION, HUM, AND WHEN FINALLY STOPPED, THE PEDAL SINKS ANOTHER 1/2 INCH OR SO LIKE IT SIGHS OF RELIEF. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO JUDGE APPROPRIATE BRAKING DISTANCES AND LACKS CONFIDENCE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. WE TOOK IT TO GROSSMAN CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED IN OLD SAYBROOK CT. WE WERE TOLD THERES NOTHING WRONG AND OUR DRIVING STYLE IS TO BLAME.THAT WE WERE BRAKING TOO HARD AND CAUSING THE ROTORS TO WARP. THERE IS A FAULT IN THE ABS SENSOR SYSTEM AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO ASSIST OWNERS. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS MUST BE RECALLED OR REPAIRED AT GM EXPENSE. I WILL NOT PAY A STEALERSHIP ANY MORE MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS AN ENGINEERING FAULT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
B LAZER HESITATES WHEN DRIVING AND NOTICE A GAS SMELL WHEN I TURN ON BLAZER AT THE BEGINNING AND I NOTICED A LEAK INSIDE BUT WAS NOT SURE WHERE ITS COMING FROM. I CONTACTED CHEVORLET DEALER ON POSSIBLE RECALL THEY STATED ITS NOT ON THERE SYSTEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSE AND BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE MAYBE THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THIS. WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSE IF ITS SOMETHING ON THEIR END AND ITS ONLINE AS A RECALL ON BLAZERS. I THINK THIS CAN BE A HAZARD TO BE SMELLING GAS THAT FLOWS IN TO AIR SYSTEM OF THE BLAZER WHILE DRIVING.
