NHTSA complaint: 1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AT MAJOR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THRU TWO (2) SOUTH BOUND TRAFFIC LANES, THEN ACROSS A PAVED DIVIDER (ABOUT EQUIVALENT TO TWO HIGHWAY LANES), THEN ACROSS ANOTHER TWO (2)TRAFFIC LANES AND ONTO THE GRASSY SHOULDER OF THE NORTHBOUND LANES WHERE THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER ONE TIME AND CAME TO REST ON IT'S ROOF. THE VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF IT WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN AT ALL. THE ROADWAY WAS DRY BUT HAD SOME GRAVEL AND SAND SPILL ON IT. THANK GOD FOR SEAT BELTS! THIS VEHICLE HAD A BRAKE PROBLEM AT 756 MILES (ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING) DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AT 2933 MILES. SINCE VEH COULD NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY DEALER HAD TO SEND TRUCK & TOW VEHICLE 30 MILES TO SHOP WHERE ABS VALVE ASSY NEEDED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. ANOTHER BRAKE PROBLEM (LEAKING FLUID AT TOP OF ABS MODULE) WAS REPORTED TO DEALER AND REPAIRED AT 7077 MILES. WE HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION PAPERS FOR THESE INSTANCES IN THE EVENT YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXAMINE THESE REPAIR ORDERS. *AK
