#720915April 3, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
VEHICLE BRAKING HAS SEEMED TO BE UNPREDICTABLE. ABS WILL SEEM TO TAKE OVER WHEN UNNECESSARY UNDER NORMAL BRAKING SITUATIONS CAUSING UNEXPECTED EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE. WE WERE INFORMALLY TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THAT IS JUST HOW ABS IS SO WE ASSUMED THAT IT WAS JUST A POOR DESIGN NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTIES FOR THE SECOND OWNER SO WE DID NOT PURSUE IT FURTHER. IN ADDITION, WE HAD A ROUGH RUNNING CONDITION THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE EGR VALVE CLOGGED WITH CARBON DEPOSITS. THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGH, HAD A STRONG ODOR AND HAD INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE (HARD PEDAL) CAUSING IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. WE HAD THE ENGINE "MOTORVAC'D" TO CLEAR CARBON DEPOSITS AND HAD THE EGR CLEANED. IT RAN WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN BACK TO THE SAME SYMTOMS. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD JUST RUIN A NEW EGR IF WE REPLACED IT AGAIN SO WE HAVE NOT DETERMINED WHAT TO DO WITH IT. ALSO THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THESE EPISODES

#720620March 26, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HUB ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSOR FAILED. THIS RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE HAVING NO BRAKES AND ON TWO OCCASIONS NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AT/FOR STOP SIGNS WITH NEAR MISSES EACH TIME. AS THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE THE DEALERS AT FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE CRUSE CONTROL WAS NOT DISINGAGING WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED AND THAT THIS RESULTED IN THE CAR DRIVING ITSELF THRU THE BRAKES. BUT A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REVEALED THAT THE ANTI ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR WAS EXPERIANCING INTERMITTENT FAILURES AND THAT THIS WAS WHY THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. DEALER MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT WHEN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAIL THE VEHICLE SHOULD STILL BRAKE SAFELY WITH STANDARD BRAKE SYSTEM. BUT IN THIS CASE THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO NOT BRAKE AT ALL. *AK

APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH NO BRAKING ACTION OCCURRING. THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM MADE NOISES AS THOUGH CAR WAS ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE, BUT ROAD WAS CLEAR AND DRY WITH NO LOOSE GRAVEL. BRAKE PEDAL WAS THEN PUSHED VERY HARD, AGAIN WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. THE CAR PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION IMPACTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. BOTH DRIVERS RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. THE BLAZER WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
CALLED/ EMAILED GM AND ALTHOUGH I HAD A FAILURE THE DAY AFTER MY NEW BRAKES WERE DEALER INSTALLED AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BLAZER IN THE YEARS RECALLED I AM NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THIS REALLY UPSETS ME BECAUSE I COULD INJURED SOMEONEON THE STREET ON IN MY CAR AND THEY CONTINUE TO PRETEND THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I FILED A REPORT W/ YOU IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT- BRAKES PUT ON ONE DAY- NEXT DAY I AM, FORTUNATELY, MAKING A SLOW TURN AS I HEAD TO COURT, CANNOT NEGOTIATE THE TURN BECAUSE I HAVE NO BRAKES AND SLAM INTON AND ON TOP OF A FIRE HYDRANT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER/ MECHANIC AT THE SCENE AND THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE BOTH DEPRESSED THE PEDAL AND CONFIRMED WHAT I SAID. THE DEALER AND GM DENIED IT AND- EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MAJOR RECALL- AND I AM A TRUE VICTIM- AM IGNORED AND THEY ARE "PLEASED TO TELL ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL". THIS IS GARBAGE AND CLEARLY THE REASON THAT I WILL NEVER SUPPORT GM OR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCT. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER- I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE ON BEHALF OF THOSE MULTITHOUSAND OF OWNERS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM- BUT IT WAS OF NO BENEFIT TO ME. *AK
