ABS FAILURE. ALL THREE ABS ISOLATION VALVES CLOSED EITHER AT START OF BREAKING OR PRIOR TO BRAKING CYCLE, RESULTING IN NO POSSIBLE DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PETAL AND ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKING WHAT SO EVER, LITERALLY NONE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES AT WHATEVER SPEED THE VEHICLE WAS AT BEFORE INITIATION OF BRAKING. THIS NO BRAKE CONDITION HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AS SPEEDS FROM 15MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. UPON RELEASING BREAK PRESSURE (TAKING ONE'S FOOT OF THE PETAL) AND REAPPLYING THE BREAKS THE LEFT FRONT ABS ISOLATION VALVE WOULD DE-ENERGIZE AND GIVE THE DRIVER THE LEFT FRONT BREAK ONLY. THIS FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT OVER THE LAST YEAR AND NOT WITNESSED BY ME UNTIL 1/13/2018. THE ABS FUSE WAS REMOVED AND THE BRAKES REMAIN WITHOUT ABS FUNCTION. THIS IS A MAJOR FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND MOST PROBABLY HAS. BUT, SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT AND DEAD PEOPLE CAN'T TESTIFY YOU PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A DATA BASE. ALSO, AS AN ENGINEER MYSELF, THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT SHOULD PRECIPITATE THE COMPLETE DEACTIVATION OF AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS OF ALL VEHICLES WORLDWIDE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ALL AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS CAN BE OVERRIDDEN BY MANUAL INPUTS WITHOUT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH MANUAL INPUTS.

1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TWO RECALLS CONCERNING VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ONE OF THE RECALLS WERE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE OTHER RECALL, PERTAINING TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSED AN AT FAULT ACCIDENT WHICH GM REJECTED, BECAUSE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION HAD EXPIRED. *JB

BACKGROUND: PURCHASED USED BLAZER APPROX 2 YEARS AGO. "ANTI-LOCK BRAKES" DASH LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. I AM GOOD DIY AND VERY EXPERIENCED MECHANIC WITH APPROPRIATE TOOLS. I HAVE TRIED OFF AND ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I EVEN HAVE REPLACED ALL BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER. PROBLEM: I CAME UPON SAFECAR.GOV LAST NIGHT AND FOUND SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE, TO INCLUDE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I CALLED THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER FOR RECALLS AND EXPLAINED THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH. AFTER I STATED I FOUND THE RECALLS ON SAFECAR.GOV AND WANTED TO CHECK IF MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE HAD ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS, I WAS PROMPTLY TOLD THAT SAFECAR.GOV IS NOT AN AUTHORIZED OR APPROVED CHEVY WEBSITE. IT WAS INFERRED TO ME BY THE OPERATOR BY HER TONE (THOUGH VERY POLITE) AND LANGUAGE THAT SAFECAR.GOV IS SOME ROGUE WEBSITE THAT SHOULD BE PAID NO MIND. THIS HAD ME CONCERNED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SAFECAR.GOV IS A NHTSA WEBSITE AND I AM SURE THE RECALLS LISTED ARE ACCURATE. THE OPERATOR THEN LOOKED UP MY VIN AND STATED THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK ME AS ODD BECAUSE THE RECALLS ON BRAKES I FOUND DESCRIBED HOW MY VEHICLE REACTS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. IF THERE WERE/ARE REALLY NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE.THAN SO BE IT, NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WITH THE WAY SAFECAR.GOV WAS BRUSHED ASIDE BY THE OPERATOR, IT MAKES ME WONDER IF IN FACT THERE WERE RECALLS AND CHEVY IS JUST TRYING TO SAVE FROM REPAIRING OLDE

GAS TANK FAILURE-- CORROSION

TWO OCCURRENCES: CAR WAS STARTED WHEN WARM, AND QUICKLY THROTTLED UP TO HIGH RPMS. MECHANIC DISCONNECTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, AND REPLACED ALTERNATOR. SIX MONTHS LATER, CAR STARTED NORMALLY WHEN WARM, AND THROTTLED TO HIGH RPMS AFTER TRAVELING 30 FEET, HEADED TOWARD PEDESTRIANS. APPLYING BOTH BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR, BUT MOTOR CONTINUED TO THROTTLE, UNTIL IGNITION TURNED OFF. CAR STARTED NORMALLY A MINUTE LATER, AND I PARKED AFTER DRIVING UNEVENTFULLY TWO BLOCKS WITH HAND ON IGNITION KEY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN, UNTIL DIAGNOSED. *JB

REGARDING CPI FAILURE: CHECK "O" RING BEHIND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR(ROUGH IDLE,LOSS OF POWER,REDUCED GAS MILEAGE; FUEL IN MANIFOLD; WHEN TESTING FUEL PRESSURE IT DROPS ALMOST INSTANTLY WHEN FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF) PRETTY EASY TO MISTAKE FOR A CPI FAILURE. *JB

DIED ON CORNER AND WOULD NOT START. ECG VALVE CHANGED AND COMPUTER READ NO OTHER PROBLEMS. *JB

I HAVE HAD EXTREME BRAKING PROBLEMS THAT ARE STILL NOT FIXED. UNDER NORMAL CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS, BRAKES ARE VERY SLOW TO STOP REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I PUT ON THEM AND OCCASIONALLY LOCK UP. I MUST RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUMP IT TO CATCH SO THE CAR WILL COME TO A STOP. 2 MONTHS AGO, A WOMAN STOPPED AT THE LAST MINUTE IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT MY BRAKES WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP (2-3 CAR LENGTHS). THEY LOCKED UP AND MADE THEIR NORMAL GRINDING NOISE. I HIT HER CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. LAST MONTH, WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN TO PAY AT A TOLL BOOTH, I HAD TO LITERALLY STAND ON MY BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE TOLL BOOTH ATTENDANT JUMPED OUT OF THE BOOTH IN FEAR THAT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. THE SAME THING HAPPENS COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MILES PER HOUR. I CAN'T GET ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THIS ONE IS GOING TO KILL MY CHILDREN AND I. I HAVE REPLACED THE BOOSTER, PADS TWICE, ROTORS, AND THE THING ATTACHED TO THE BOOSTER. HAVE I MISSED A RECALL? HELP ME!!*JB

I HAD THE EGR VALVE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE RUNNING TERRIBLE AND KILLING IN TRAFFIC. IT WAS REPLACED FREE BECAUSE THERE WAS A BULLETIN, I REALLY WONDER IF IT WAS REPLACED ON 10/01 BECAUSE ALMOST 1 YEAR LATER 9/02 I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN AND IT COST ME $272 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ONCE AGAIN AS OF 10/11/05 COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC REVEALS THAT THE EGR IS STICKING AGAIN AND IT'S GOING TO COST $375,COULD I HAVE POSSIBLE GOTTEN A DEFECTIVE EGR ON 10/01. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY BLAZER SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT . WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN SURFACE IT SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IS CRACKING AND TRYING TO FALL TO PIECES IN THE FRONT AND THE STEERING IS LOOSE AND PULLS TO ONE SIDE, EVEN AFTER A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION AND BALANCE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. I ACTUALLY HAD 1 OF MANY FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION DONE ON 10/07/05 AND MY FRONT END PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH,MUCH WORSE THAN USUALLY. I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE IT. *JB

ONE OF THE OIL COOLER HOSES CAME OFF THE CRIMP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL OIL AND PRESSURE. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE, CAUSING OWNER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE (BUT LUCKILY REGAIN IT). ENGINE IS A COMPLETE LOSS AND WILL BE COSTING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE. THIS REALLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER ISSUE, AS THE CRIMP METHOD USED FOR THIS HIGH PRESSURE (AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT) HOSE IS OF A TYPE THAT DOES NOT SEEM RELIABLE. THE SHOP THAT IS HOLDING OUR CAR, PENDING OUR DECISION ON WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HAS INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD ONE OR TWO OTHER BLAZERS IN THEIR SHOP IN THE LAST YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING - AND THAT THEY NOTED AT THE TIME THAT THE CRIMP METHOD, WITHOUT BARBS TO GIVE EXTRA GRAB TO THE HOSE - SEEMS TO BE THE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
