I HAVE REPLACED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ON THIS 1992 CHEVY S-10 BLAZER IN THE YEAR AND A HALF THAT I PURCHASED IT: 1.EGR VALVE 2.THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR 3.SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES 4.ROTOR AND ROTOR BUTTON 5.MUFFLER SYSTEM 6.PCV VALVE 7.FUEL INJECTOR CLEANED TWICE 8.OXYGEN SENSOR 9.LOWER BALL JOINTS AND IDLER ARM THE FIRST 8 ITEMS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF ROUGH IDLING, SMOKE AND SLUGGISHNESS, AND EXCESSIVE USE OF GAS($75.00 IN A WEEK). I ALSO HAVE A ISSUE WITH PEELING PAINT ON THE ROOF AND SIDES OF MY TRUCK, IT IS PEELING IN PATCHES AND THE GREY PRIMER UNDERNEATH IS SHOWING, THIS MAKES THE TRUCK LOOK VERY BAD.I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE UNTIL RECENTLY AND I WANT TO FIND OUT HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
SEVERE CORROSION DUE TO ROAD SALT AT THE JOINT OF THE STAMPED STEEL CENTER SECTION AND THE CAST OUTER SECTION CAN CAUSE THE SECTIONS TO SEPARATE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SEPARATION OF THE ROTOR SECTIONS CAN CAUSE LOSS OFBRAKING ABILITY IN THE AFFECTED WHEEL. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPINGDISTANCE AND/OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WITH NEW ROTORS WITH A CORROSION PROTECTION COATING. HOWEVER, IF REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE LININGS ARE NECESSARY, IT WILL BE DONE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE SINCE BRAKE LININGS ARE NORMAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS.
