| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my 1992 chevrolet blazer under normal conditions i applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor. this situation caused extended stopping distance. had there been another car in front of me or other circumstances this condition would have caused an accident. my husband checked the brake shoes, pads, fluid,and related components. he pulled a front wheel speed sensor and cleaned it, took it for a test drive and could not get the condition to repeat. the brakes worked fine after slamming down the pedal several times. this truck uses a all wheel abs system and apparently has a design flaw. we are concerned about driving it now since its possible the condition may recur at any time. i understand gm had a recall on some of there vehicles between 1988 and 1996 for a problem with extended stopping distance due to a faulty abs system ,but when i called chevrolet, they said they couldn't find anything on our blazer, and that a recall 99v193000 expired in 2002. our case # with chevrolet is 1-332-009609. how can a safety recall just expire when there are still unsafe vehicles on the road. we are the original owners ,and never received a recall notifications. there is obviously a design flaw in this abs system that causes extended stopping distances, and this poses a safety hazard.*ak |
