1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

ON 12/22/99, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. A WOMAN TWO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF US LOST CONTROL, STRUCK THE CONCRETE DIVIDER, FLIPPED OVER & WOUND UP UPSIDE DOWN PERPENDICULAR IN THE ROAD IN OUR LANE(LEFT LANE). OUR BRAKES FAILED IN OUR VEHICLE & AS A RESULT WE STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WHO WAS APPEARANTLY PUSHED INTO THE OVERTURNED VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AS WE WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. MY HUSBAND DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVISE THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER OF HIS BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN THE OFFICER ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL, HE TOLD MY HUSBAND HE DID NOT WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY BECAUSE THE OFFICER INDICATED HE HAD 2 INDEPENDENT WITNESSES. THE OFFICER ADVISED THE WITNESSES STATED THE VAN IN FRONT OF US HAD STOPPED WITH OUT STRIKING THE OVERTURNED VEHICLE, & THEREFORE WE TOO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. WE SAW THE FIRST VEHICLE LOSE CONTROL & HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO REACT WITH MORE THAN AMPLE DISTANCE TO STOP. HAD OUR BRAKES NOT HAVE FAILED WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP & THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 1995-1996 CHEV BLAZERS RELATED TO ABS. THOUGH OUR VEHICLE IS A LATER MODEL, I DO BELIEVE OUR CLAIM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE REPORTED THE CLAIM TO GM AS WELL AS OUR INSURANCE CO. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME SO THAT I MAY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU WITH ANY INFORMATION &/OR ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME &
