SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE HAD EXTREME BRAKING PROBLEMS THAT ARE STILL NOT FIXED. UNDER NORMAL CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS, BRAKES ARE VERY SLOW TO STOP REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I PUT ON THEM AND OCCASIONALLY LOCK UP. I MUST RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUMP IT TO CATCH SO THE CAR WILL COME TO A STOP. 2 MONTHS AGO, A WOMAN STOPPED AT THE LAST MINUTE IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT MY BRAKES WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP (2-3 CAR LENGTHS). THEY LOCKED UP AND MADE THEIR NORMAL GRINDING NOISE. I HIT HER CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. LAST MONTH, WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN TO PAY AT A TOLL BOOTH, I HAD TO LITERALLY STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE TOLL BOOTH ATTENDANT JUMPED OUT OF THE BOOTH IN FEAR THAT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. THE SAME THING HAPPENS COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MILES PER HOUR. I CAN'T GET ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THIS ONE IS GOING TO KILL MY CHILDREN AND I. I HAVE REPLACED THE BOOSTER, PADS TWICE, ROTORS, AND THE THING ATTACHED TO THE BOOSTER. HAVE I MISSED A RECALL? HELP ME!!*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
I HAD THE EGR VALVE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE RUNNING TERRIBLE AND KILLING IN TRAFFIC. IT WAS REPLACED FREE BECAUSE THERE WAS A BULLETIN, I REALLY WONDER IF IT WAS REPLACED ON 10/01 BECAUSE ALMOST 1 YEAR LATER 9/02 I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN AND IT COST ME $272 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ONCE AGAIN AS OF 10/11/05 COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC REVEALS THAT THE EGR IS STICKING AGAIN AND IT'S GOING TO COST $375,COULD I HAVE POSSIBLE GOTTEN A DEFECTIVE EGR ON 10/01. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY BLAZER SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT . WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN SURFACE IT SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS CRACKING AND TRYING TO FALL TO PIECES IN THE FRONT AND THE STEERING IS LOOSE AND PULLS TO ONE SIDE, EVEN AFTER A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION AND BALANCE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. I ACTUALLY HAD 1 OF MANY FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION DONE ON 10/07/05 AND MY FRONT END PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH,MUCH WORSE THAN USUALLY. I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE IT. *JB
