I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ABS ON MY BLAZER. THEY FAIL TO STOP MY BLAZER COMPLETELY WHEN I COME TO A STOP ON A LOOSE SURFACE. THEY ALSO FAIL SOMETIMES ON DRY SURFACES SUCH AS ASPHALT.

PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE WHICH HAS TURNED IN TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. GM IS NOT COOPERATING STATING THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, ACCEPT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY FAILED TO HAVE A SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE WHEN DUPLICATED AND TOLD US THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT USE OF THE VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE'VE BEEN ADVISED TO WAIT FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHEN THAT MIGHT BE. IN THE MEAN TIME GM IS BEING HIGHLY UNCOOPERATIVE AND FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PENDING RECALL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY ARE FACING A POTENTIAL 3.5 MILLION VEHICLE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE'S SPECIFIC PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME ANY ADVISE ON THIS?
ABS BRAKES VIBRATE WHEN PUSHING BRAKE PEDDLE, IT SHAKES WHOLE VEHICLE
WHILE BRAKING AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSED THE ABS SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO SLOW DOWN.MORE PRESSURE WAS PUT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE, IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS IN FRONT A COLLISION WOULD HAVE OCCURED.
I HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH CONSTANT BRAKE PROBLEMS ON MY '95 BLAZER. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE I PURCHASED IT OVER 10 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES ALONE. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE BRAKE RECALL WARNING ISSUED BY YOU (NHTSA) AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED ED MORSE CHEVROLET AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER. HE ADVISED ME YOUR REPORT WAS FALSE …

I HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH CONSTANT BRAKE PROBLEMS ON MY '95 BLAZER. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE I PURCHASED IT OVER 10 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES ALONE. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE BRAKE RECALL WARNING ISSUED BY YOU (NHTSA) AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED ED MORSE CHEVROLET AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MANAGER. HE ADVISED ME YOUR REPORT WAS FALSE AND YOU ARE RE-ISSUING A STATEMENT TO THE CONTRARY. HE TOLD ME THE WARNING HAD "NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PARTICULAR BLAZER" AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL OR WARNING PRESENTLY. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR ME, I AM AFRAID OF BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD MY ATTORNEY WRITE A LETTER TO ED MORSE, TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY WENT TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO ATTEMPTS TO KEEP ME SAFE BY REGULARLY CHECKING MY BRAKING SYSTEM. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS AM I INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ALERT 99V193000 OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 991006000? ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE SO APPRECIATED. THANK YOU..FRANCESCA BEALERT
