SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AT LOW SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. AT THE FIRST INSTANCE OF BRAKING THE BRAKES BEGAN TO STOP ME. THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING CEASED. I REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE ABS FAILED IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN MARCH OF 1995, ALSO CAUSING A REAR-END COLLISION. THIS INCIDENT WAS ALSO REPORTED TO THE NTSA AS WELL AS TO CHEVROLET. AT THAT TIME THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED BY A CHEVROLET DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. CHEVROLET MADE THE DETERMINATION THAT THERE WAS NOTHING DEFECTIVE ABOUT THE BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CONSTANT AND IS APPARENTLY NOT REPEATABLE ON DEMAND. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY BLAZER. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES "LOCKED UP" AND FAILED TO STOP OUR VEHICLE IN TIME. I FOUND OUT THERE MAY BE A RECALL ON THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AND CHECKED YOUR WEBSITE. THE INFORMATION INDICATED THERE WAS A RPOBLEM SO I CONTACTED CHEVROLET. I SPENT OVER 2 HOURS ON THE TELEPHONE WITH THEM AND THEY SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT. I DID SO AND INCURRED THE EXPENSE OF AN ANALYSIS. THE DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEM AND SAID THAT EVEN IF THEY DID THEY COULDN'T MAKE ANY REPAIRS UNTIL CHEVROLET SENT THEM THE NOTICE ON WHAT TO DO. I GUESS I AM SOMEWHAT SIMPLE MINDED, BUT IF THE GOVERENMETN AND GM KNOWS THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THE BRAKES, WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG? THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER STANDING LESS THAN 100 FEET FROM WHERE OUR ACCIDENT OCURRED AND HE CAN VERIFY THAT MY BRAKES DID NOT PROPERLY WORK. *AK

#715502December 1, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I EXPERIENCED "HARD STARTS" "ENGINE RUN ON" AND "ROUGH IDLE" FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FIVE MONTHS. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A LEAKING FUEL INJECTOR. THE GM DEALER GARAGE INFORMED ME THAT THEY "SEE THIS ALL THE TIME WITH GM PRODUCTS" AND THAT THE LEAKING FUEL PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. THE GARAGE STATED THAT WHILE GM WILL REPAIR FUEL INJECTORS WITH CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS, THEY WILL NOT DO SO WITH FEDERAL EMISSIONS. GM HAS BEEN NO HELP AND TOLD ME I HAD NO RECOURSE TO RECOVER THE MONEY PAID TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTOR (APPOXIMATELY $700). IT SEEMS TO ME IF THE PROBLEM IS COMMON, PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM, SOME INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE SHOULD TAKE PLACE..
