1994 Chevrolet S10 complaints

WIPER MOTOR FAILURE, RECALL ON COMPONENT HOWEVER VEHICLE DENIED DUE TO YEAR BUILT. *YC

MANUFACTURER HAS RECALLED SOME OF THESE WIPER MODULES THAT HAVE FAILED. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIMED MY MODULE IN MY VEHICLE THAT FAILED WAS MADE AT ANOTHER PLANT AND THEREFORE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WIPER MODULE UNDER THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW A MANUFACTURER LIKE GENERAL MOTORS ARE ABLE TO "CHERRY PICK" DEFECTIVE WIPER MODULES AND PASS THE REST ONTO CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM EXHIBITS LOW BRAKE PEDAL, STOPPING DISTANCES INCREASES AT LOW SPEED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY (395) IN DC, TRAFFIC HAD COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. AS I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE PEDAL LOCKED-UP AND I COULD NOT APPLY THE BRAKES. THE NORMAL ABS SOUNDS WERE PRESENT BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ABS LIGHT NOR ANY OTHER LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO STOP USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT APPEARED TO HAVE CORRECTED ITSELF. I CONTINUED AT A SLOW SPEED AND TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP. WHILE DRIVING HOME TO NEW YORK IT DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DC AGAIN AND IT OCCURED A FEW MORE TIMES. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A SERVICE STATION AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR IMMEDIATELY. ON 4-8-99 I WAS RETURNING FROM A STORE WITH MY WIFE. I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP OF I-84 IN MIDDLETOWN NY, WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ON THE RAMP THE PROBLEM OCCURED FORCING MY VEHICLE TO SWAY SIDE TO SIDE AND ALMOST ROLLING OVER. I CALLED A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IF THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON THEN THERE WAS PROBABLY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ABS. I TOLD THEM I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT ANY WAY. UPON THE DEALER INSPECTING THE BRAKES THEY APPARENTLY FOUND THAT THE HIGH HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT WAS COSTLY TO REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS NOT THAT I HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $1000.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 1994 BLAZERS ON THE ROAD AND THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR WITH OUT WARNING (NO LIGHTS). IF ANY
