#705030March 28, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
IN RE: SEAT BELTS: THE INERTIA REELS ON THE FRONT BELTS (BOTH SIDES) OF MY VEHICLE ARE INOPERATIVE 99% OF THE TIME. YANKING THE BELTS ENGAGES THE REELS ONLY OCCASIONALLY. THE ONES IN THE SHOWROOM VEHICLES ENGAGED EVERY TIME. RESEARCH ON THE WEB REVEALS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT CHEVROLET IS CHARGING ALMOST $300 EACH TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE UNITS!. INRE: THE ABS BRAKES: I WAS TOWING A BOAT AND HAD TO SLOW, QUICKLY, FOR A YELLOW LIGHT TURNING RED. AS THE ABS ENGAGED I LOST MY BRAKES AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION! THE BRAKES ARE IN GREAT MECHANICAL CONDITION. AGAIN, SEARCHING THE WEB FOR INFORMATION, I AM STEERED TO THE WHEEL SENSOR WIRES IN THE FRONT. THE WORD IS THAT THE WIRES ARE BADLY ROUTED, SUBJECT TO DAMAGE, AND CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON BULLETIN BOARDS OF COSTLY REPAIRS TO THE WIRES FOLLOWING BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE! *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 1994. I PRESENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES ON MY CAR. SINCE DAY ONE, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I TOLD MY DEALER A FEW TIMES ABOUT IT, AND THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE A STUPID IDIOT BY TELLING ME THAT I MUST NOT BE USING THEM CORRECTLY. WELL, I DO USE THEM CORRECTLY, AND HAVE SINCE THEN HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE TRY MY CAR. I HAVE ACTUALLY TALKED TO OTHER BLAZER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I EVEN WENT ON THE INTERNET AND THEY ALL COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. SO I DO FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS, I HAVE LOST MY BRAKES. FOR INSTANCE, WHILE DRIVING ON RT 202 IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE APPLYING MY BRAKES FOR A RED LIGHT. THE BRAKES RELEASE WHEREBY I THEN HAVE TO LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAPPLY IT. THEN THE CAR STOPS. IN SUNNY WEATHER, RAIN & SNOWY WEATHER, I HAVE APPLIED MY BRAKES AND HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. OTHER TIMES, THE BRAKES WORK. I AM REALLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. WITH LOW MILEAGE LIKE MINE I ALSO HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKES AND EVEN HAD DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS. I FEEL BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN, MY DEALER HAS NEVER TAKEN MY CONCERNS SERIOUSLY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE FRIENDS WHO OWN OTHER BRAND SUV'S (JEEP & EXPLORER), AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS! I LOVE THIS CAR AND I WISH THE BRAKES WOULD BE RECALLED SO THAT I WOULD FEEL SAFE. SOMETIMES I WISH THESE VEHICLES DIDN'T HAVE ANTILOCK BRAKES AT ALL. AT LEAST THEN WE COULD CONTROL OUR STOPPING. EVERYONE I KNOW WHO HAS THESE BRAKES LOVES THEM EXCEPT FOR THE ONES I KNOW WHO OWN THE BLAZER S10. PLEASE HELP US AND LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INPUT YOU CAN GIVE US REGARDING THIS MATTER. *AKTHANKS.
