| 1996 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT | CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE TIRES SERVICED, AND WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE FOR THE UPPER BALL JOINT. CONSUMER HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN-A-ROUND, BUT THEY NEVER SENT HIM THE RECALL LETTER. NOW THE MANUFACTURER IS FUSING TO SEND THE LETTER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS PAST THE MILEAGE. TS |
| 2004 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PROBLEM I THINK- WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN DURING A LIGHT DUSTING OF SNOW AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES- VEHICLE WILL PULL ABOUT 8-15 FEET TO THE RIGHT AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL IT'S DONE PULLING YOU THIS DISTANCE. NOW THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS WET OUT AND DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME YOU BRAKE. I RECENTLY WAS BRAKING AT A RED LIGHT GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOURS AND BEGAN BRAKING ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEFORE THE LIGHT AND MY BLAZER DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT TURNED THE CORNER ABOUT 15 FEET TO THE RIGHT. I WAS NOT TRYING TO TURN THE CORNER THE VEHICLE CROSSED OVER THE CORNER SIDEWALK AND LANDED AROUND THE CORNER. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHILE IT IS PULLING YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND AM TOLD THAT THEIR EQUIPMENT CAN'T DETECT A PROBLEM. I ALSO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND AFTER THEY DISCONNECT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM THE PROBLEM SUBSIDES. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE ONE. THE CHEVY DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION ON WHAT TO DO HE SAID HE WOULD THINK IT IS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BUT SINCE THE EQUIPMENT DOESN'T INDICATE PROBLEM HE CAN'T SEE ONE. I INQUIRED IF THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION/ANTI SKID SYSTEM HE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE . CHARGED ME FOR LOOKING AT IT AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL AND IF I KEPT HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO STOP BACK AGAIN (EVEN THOUGH THEY COULDN'T DETECT PROBLEM) I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW YEARS AND OVER THAT TIME PERIOD IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES. EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS I THINK ABOUT TRADING IT IN BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO . *TR |
