ABS FAILURE. ALL THREE ABS ISOLATION VALVES CLOSED EITHER AT START OF BREAKING OR PRIOR TO BRAKING CYCLE, RESULTING IN NO POSSIBLE DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PETAL AND ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKING WHAT SO EVER, LITERALLY NONE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES AT WHATEVER SPEED THE VEHICLE WAS AT BEFORE INITIATION OF BRAKING. THIS NO BRAKE CONDITION HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AS SPEEDS FROM 15MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. UPON RELEASING BREAK PRESSURE (TAKING ONE'S FOOT OF THE PETAL) AND REAPPLYING THE BREAKS THE LEFT FRONT ABS ISOLATION VALVE WOULD DE-ENERGIZE AND GIVE THE DRIVER THE LEFT FRONT BREAK ONLY. THIS FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT OVER THE LAST YEAR AND NOT WITNESSED BY ME UNTIL 1/13/2018. THE ABS FUSE WAS REMOVED AND THE BRAKES REMAIN WITHOUT ABS FUNCTION. THIS IS A MAJOR FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND MOST PROBABLY HAS. BUT, SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT AND DEAD PEOPLE CAN'T TESTIFY YOU PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A DATA BASE. ALSO, AS AN ENGINEER MYSELF, THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT SHOULD PRECIPITATE THE COMPLETE DEACTIVATION OF AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS OF ALL VEHICLES WORLDWIDE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ALL AUTOMATED FUNCTIONS CAN BE OVERRIDDEN BY MANUAL INPUTS WITHOUT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH MANUAL INPUTS.

BACKGROUND: PURCHASED USED BLAZER APPROX 2 YEARS AGO. "ANTI-LOCK BRAKES" DASH LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. I AM GOOD DIY AND VERY EXPERIENCED MECHANIC WITH APPROPRIATE TOOLS. I HAVE TRIED OFF AND ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I EVEN HAVE REPLACED ALL BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER. PROBLEM: I CAME UPON SAFECAR.GOV LAST NIGHT AND FOUND SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE, TO INCLUDE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I CALLED THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER FOR RECALLS AND EXPLAINED THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH. AFTER I STATED I FOUND THE RECALLS ON SAFECAR.GOV AND WANTED TO CHECK IF MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE HAD ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS, I WAS PROMPTLY TOLD THAT SAFECAR.GOV IS NOT AN AUTHORIZED OR APPROVED CHEVY WEBSITE. IT WAS INFERRED TO ME BY THE OPERATOR BY HER TONE (THOUGH VERY POLITE) AND LANGUAGE THAT SAFECAR.GOV IS SOME ROGUE WEBSITE THAT SHOULD BE PAID NO MIND. THIS HAD ME CONCERNED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SAFECAR.GOV IS A NHTSA WEBSITE AND I AM SURE THE RECALLS LISTED ARE ACCURATE. THE OPERATOR THEN LOOKED UP MY VIN AND STATED THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK ME AS ODD BECAUSE THE RECALLS ON BRAKES I FOUND DESCRIBED HOW MY VEHICLE REACTS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. IF THERE WERE/ARE REALLY NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE.THAN SO BE IT, NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WITH THE WAY SAFECAR.GOV WAS BRUSHED ASIDE BY THE OPERATOR, IT MAKES ME WONDER IF IN FACT THERE WERE RECALLS AND CHEVY IS JUST TRYING TO SAVE FROM REPAIRING OLDER MODEL VEHICLES THAT WERE NOT BROUGHT IN BY PREVIOUS OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR
