ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE LIGHT ON THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE KNOB IS ALWAYS JUMPING BACK AND FORTH FROM 2 WD TO 4 WD . THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND IT TOOK THEM 5 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT WAS DUE TO THE IGNITION? MY IGNITION DOES NOT START PROPERLY ANYMORE. THE LIGHTS ON THE 4 WD KNOB STILL BLINK. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS SAFE? *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT WITH B.F. GOODRICH "OPEN TRAIL T/A" M+S TIRES (P245/70R16 WOL). THIS INCIDENT MARKS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHEN THE TIRES ENCOUNTER FRESHLY-WETTED PAVEMENT OR ANY WET EARTH ON THE PAVEMENT ALL TIRE ADHESION VANISHES AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES AN UNCONTROLLABLE SLED AS IF IT WERE RACING ACROSS ICE. THIS EFFECT IS NOT SPEED DEPENDENT. THE FIRST INCIDENT ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR-END COLLISION. THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS NEARLY RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE LEAVING THE ROAD. THESE TIRES APPEAR TO BE SAFE ONLY ON CLEAN DRY PAVEMENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, AT APPROXIMATELY FIVE MPH, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY ONE MPH, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL THRU THE STOP SIGN, ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT HIT THE CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE CURB, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVY SERVICE FACILITY, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS AN INHERENT BEHAVIOR WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS. I TEND TO AGREE WITH HIM AS MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO HAD DEMONSTRATED THE SAME BEHAVIOR. THERE WERE NO APPARENT LEAKS IN THE SYSTEM AND THE MASTER CYCLINDER WAS FULL. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE SERVICE FACILITY WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE BEHAVIOR THE NEXT MORNING AND REFERRED ME TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHERE A CASE HAS BEEN FILED.
