DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN A NORMAL BRAKING SITUATION. THE ABS DID NOT ENGAGE, THEREFORE THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL #99V193000, PERTAINING TO THE HYDRAULIC ANTILOCK BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

Jul 25, 2006

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TAKE EFFECT. I READ IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1999 TO 2003 GM SUV'S. MY QUESTION IS, WAS THERE EVER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1993 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZERS AND IF NOT IS THERE A CHANCE OF GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED BY GM AT THEIR EXPENSE CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE.*JB

Aug 30, 2005

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON A RECALL FOR ABS BRAKE FAILURE. PRIOR TO TAKING THE VEHICLE IN THE BRAKES WERE NOT DEFECTIVE. THEY LOCKED UP AND THEN FAILED ALTOGETHER. *AK

Aug 31, 2004

ABS BRAKE FAILURE - AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP OR RAILROAD TRACK WHEN COMING TO A STOP THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. PUMPING OF THE PEDAL WILL NOT GET THE PEDAL HEIGHT BACK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL CONTINUE TO GO TO THE FLOOR FOR AS MANY TIMES AS I APPLY THE BRAKES. AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR HALF A DAY OR LONGER, THE PEDAL WILL RETURN TO A HIGH PEDAL AND EVERYTHING SEEMS OKAY. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR. *AK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT EXIT THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE IGNITED INTO FLAMES. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THERE SEEMED TO BE NO GAS MOVING THOUGH THE FUEL LINE. AT TIMES, THERE WAS DIFFICULTY IN STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE FUEL TANK FOR ACCESSIBILITY. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED AND A NEW FUEL PUMP WAS INSTALLED. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL # 06E041000 REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS ON THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO VERIFY IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

Nov 03, 2006

I HAVE A 93 S10 BLAZER AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. THE ECMB FUSE WAS BLOWN AND WOULD BLOW OUT WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD BE TURNED ON. I FINALLY TRACKED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN I REMOVED THE GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT THE FUEL PUMP, THE WIRE INSIDE THE TANK WERE WELDED TOGETHER AND THE PLUG ON THE END OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS MELTED (FUSED) TOGETHER. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT THESE INTERNAL COMPONENTS CAN GET HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THEY COULD EASILY CAUSE THE TANK TO EXPLODE. ALSO THE WIRING IS ATTACHED TO THE SENDING UNIT AND TO REPLACE BOTH OF THESE COMPONENTS IT WILL COST OVER $600 JUST FOR PARTS. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND A NASTY HAZARD, SOMEBODY MAY BE KILLED. *JB
