#709972August 13, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE NHTSA MANDATED THAT GM WARANTY THE LEGR ON 1995 BLAZERS. WHEN MY BLAZER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE LEGR REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE PARTS UNDER WARANTY BECAUSE THE NHTSA ONLY MANDATED THE WARRANTY FOR CARS WITH LESS THAN 75,000 MILES. MY BLAZER HAD THE PROBLEM AT 80,000 MILES. THE MILEAGE DICTATION IS RIDICULOUS! THIS FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT ANY MILEAGE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED REGARDLESS!

I HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH CONSTANT BRAKE PROBLEMS ON MY '95 BLAZER. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE I PURCHASED IT OVER 10 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES ALONE. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE BRAKE RECALL WARNING ISSUED BY YOU (NHTSA) AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED ED MORSE CHEVROLET AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER. HE ADVISED ME YOUR REPORT WAS FALSE AND YOU ARE RE-ISSUING A STATEMENT TO THE CONTRARY. HE TOLD ME THE WARNING HAD "NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PARTICULAR BLAZER" AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL OR WARNING PRESENTLY. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR ME, I AM AFRAID OF BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD MY ATTORNEY WRITE A LETTER TO ED MORSE, TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY WENT TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO ATTEMPTS TO KEEP ME SAFE BY REGULARLY CHECKING MY BRAKING SYSTEM. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS AM I INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ALERT 99V193000 OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 991006000? ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE SO APPRECIATED. THANK YOU..FRANCESCA BEALERT
