SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN. THE STEERING WAS LOCKED AND THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING. THE CAR RAN INTO ANOTHER IN FRONT OF IT. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF PUMPING THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO COME BACK. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID ABS SYSTEMS WON'T STOP YOU THEY JUST KEEPS YOU FROM GOING SIDEWAYS. YOU CAN HEAR THE ABS SYSTEM MOAN WHEN YOU FIRST TAKE OFF AFTER A STOP. IS THIS THE WAY THEY WERE DESIGNED TO WORK? IS THIS SAFE? THIS SEEMS SO UNLIKE CHREVROLET TO SELL PRODUCTS THAT WORK THIS WAY! *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
POOR ALIGNMENT BETWEEN BRAKE AND THROTTLE PEDAL CAUSES RIGHT FOOT TO HIT THROTTLE UPON HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATION. THE SPRING TENSION ON THE THROTTLE IS RELATIVELY LIGHT, AND MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT NOTICE THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE OF ACCELERATION IN CRISIS SITUATIONS. COULD BE A SCENARIO IN MANY UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION ACCIDENTS. *AK

SEATS
THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS ALREADY A RECALL IN THE 1993 AND 1994 CHEVY EXTENDED CAB PICKUPS THE SEAT CODE IN QUESTION IS A95 THERE IS A BOLT THAT BRAKES AND THE SEAT THEN RECLINES WITHOUT WARNING THIS HAPPENS DUE TO WEAR IN THE SEAT FRAME I BELIEVE, I HAVE PURCHASED THE REPAIR PARTS AND INSTALLED THEM AND NOW THE SEAT IS WORKING LOOSE AGAIN IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRAME IS WEAK AROUND THE BOLT HOLE, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY THE BULLITEN AT THE DEALER SAYS THAT IF THE REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THE SEAT FRAME MAY NEED REPLACED. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS ABDICATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE CONSUMER . I BELIEVE THAT THIS COMPANY SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THESE RECALLS ON ALL VEHICHLES THAT COULD HAVE THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. MY 1993 CHEVY BLAZER HAS THE SAME SEAT CODE THAT IS OFFERED IN THE PICKUPS ,THE BLAZER,SURBURBAN, AND THE YUKON COULD ALSO HAVE THE SAME SEAT,AND POTENTIALLY THE SAME PROBLEMS.
