LIGHTING-HEADLIGHTS - WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS (BOTH LOW AND HIGHBEAM) WILL GO OFF ALTOGETHER A FEW SECONDS AFTER I SWITCH TO MY HIGHBEAMS. AFTER EMERGENCY STOPPING DUE TO LACK OF VISION, IT COMES BACK ON AFTER SITTING A FEW MOMENTS ONLY TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT THAT ALMOST CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION AND MY FAMILY TO LOOSE OUR LIVES. 2) PARKING BRAKE - WHILE PARKED IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, MOTOR OFF, ON A CLOSE TO FLAT SURFACE, MY BLAZER'S EMERGENCY BRAKE DISENGAGES AND MY VEHICLE HAS TO BE MOVED BACK INTO ITS PAKING PLACE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY - BATTERY GOES DEAD IF I LEAVE MY DOOR OPEN FOR 10 MINUTES TO SWEEP OUT THE INSIDE. EVEN AFTER FACTORY BATTERY WAS REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON. EXHAUSTE SYSTEM: CVS VALVE REPLACED SOON AFTER DRIVING OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AT DEALERSHIP. BRAKE:HYDROLIC ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ASSEMBLY: UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE WHILE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAUSING A CRASH INTO GUARDRAIL IN ORDER TO GET STOPPED. BRAKES ALSO FAIL WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AND RUNNING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD...CAUSES BRAKES TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE AND LOOSE BRAKING HOLD...HAVE TO REAPPLY FOR VEHICLES BRAKES TO WORK.
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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 4-DOOR, 4-WHEEL DRIVE AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING DEVELOPMENT TESTING, THE PROP SHAFT CONTACTED THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK ALLOWING FUEL LEAKAGE. THIS LEAKAGE WAS IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT PERMITTED BY FMVSS 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS PRESENT, AND THERE IS A FUEL LEAK, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL ADDITIONAL SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS WILL BE ADDED WITHOUT REMOVING OR DISASSEMBLING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
FAN BLADE RIVET BREAKAGE CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE FAN BLADE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SPIDER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE HOOD WAS OPEN, A PERSON WORKING UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE STRUCK BY THE FAN BLADE AND INJURED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE, IF NECESSARY, THE FAN WITH A NEWER FAN HAVING THICKER-HEADED RIVETS.
THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT BOLT WAS STARTED IN THE WELD NUT, BUT WAS NOT TORQUED CORRECTLY CAUSING THE BOLT TO DISENGAGE FROM THE WELD NUT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKINGCAPABILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR HAND-STARTED BRAKE PEDAL BOLTS AND TORQUE THEM TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.
