Defect. 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.

Risk. 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.

Defect. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, OR MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH 3-SENSOR ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) EBC4 UNITS.

Risk. THESE VEHICLES CAN EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS ON CERTAIN MULTIPLE SURFACES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH OPERATES THE ABS UNIT ON SOME VEHICLES, OR REPLACE THE COMPUTER ON OTHERS TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ABS ON THESE SURFACES.

Defect. SIGNIFICANT WEAR CAN DEVELOP ON THE LOW AND REVERSE CLUTCH PREVENTING THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING. THIS CAN PREVENT A "NO PARK" CONDITION TO OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OPERATOR ACTION. (THE "NO PARK" CONDITION WILL NOT OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF.)

Risk. UNINTENTIONAL VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR CONTAMINATION WHICH WILL INDICATE IF THE LOW OR REVERSE CLUTCH IS WORN. IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWS CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED.

SUBJECT REGARDING ABS 3-SENSOR EBC4 - SPECIAL POLICY. *TT

I HAVE THE MOTO METAL 6 LUG BONES WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK AND THEY ARE CRACKING JUST LIKE THE 8 LUG WHEELS OF THIS SAME TYPE. MOTO METAL WILL NOT REPLACE ALL OF THE WHEELS AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY RECALLED THE 8 LUGS BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE 6 LUG. IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE OF BREAKING THEN WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER IF THEY ARE 6 OR 8 LUG.

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. THE CONTACT AND NEIGHBOR EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETECTED THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS WHICH RESULTED IN AN ENGINE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000.

TRUCK PARKED IN BACK YARD JUST CAUGHT FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID FIRE STARTED UNDER DASH ON DRIVERS SIDE. I AM NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND IF THERE WERE A DEFECT IN THIS YEARS TRUCK WHY WASN'T THERE A RECALL ON IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE WIRING BECAME HOT AND MELTED THE WIRING PLUG. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FENDING UNIT WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

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.

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.

SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW, SOMETIMES WHEN THE CRUISE BUTTON IS PUSHED THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO FULL THROTTLE. IF I STEP ON THE BRAKE IT WILL STOP. I HAD IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHEN IT WAS NEW. IT WOULD NEVER DO IT FOR THEM. IT ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT TWICE A YEAR. THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS ON THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THAT DID NOT FIX IT. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A U TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED BY ITSELF. SHE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WHEN CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO AN APARTMENT BUILDING. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE THROTTLE WAS FULLY ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED. *AK UPDATED 11/30/2005 - *NM

DT: WHILE THE CONTACT'S MOTHER WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE RAN INTO A HOUSE AND WENT THROUGH IT. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, AND FOUND THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK ALL THE WAY FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TO ANY MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. *AK

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

I BABY MY TRUCK AND NOW I AM UNSURE I WANT ANOTHER CHEVY/GM PRODUCT I AM HANDICAPPED AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER ON A OFF RAMP I HAD TO COAST AND SLAM INTO PARK AS I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEARING OBVIOUSLY PS WASNT WORKING OR ABS, THEN HAD TO SPEND NOW OVER $1,500 TO EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IT IS THE EGR VALVE , MOTOR WILL TURN OVER JUST NOT START

THE DOORS AND LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. I BOUGHT A NEW 1993 CHEV BLAZER. IN 1995 THE BACK STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPEN. I COULD OPEN THE WINDOW BUT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. NEXT IN 1997 THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ANY MORE. IT IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. NOW THE DRIVER DOOR IS STICKING. OUT OF 5 DOORS ONLY 2 WORK CORRECTLY. A BASIC FEATURE SUCH AS DOORS BEING ABLE TO OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT IS A MAJOR CONCERN. *JB

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN. I STARTED TO TAKE OFF WHEN THE WHOLE REAR AXEL ASSEMBLY EXPLODED LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEELS AND THROWING ME FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO PURCHASE A WHOLE COMPLETE REAR AXEL ASSEMBLY. *NM

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

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

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
