1997 Chevrolet Blazer

IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 1998, WHILE DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND, OR, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A SLOPE AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP THE PEDAL TO REGAIN ANY BRAKING ABILITY. *AKWITHIN 5 MINUTES, THIS CONDITION HAPPENED AGAIN. THE WEATHER WAS RAINY AND THE STREETS WERE WET. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY THIS OCCURRED. THEIR SERVICE PERSON DID MENTION THAT IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ACTING UP. NOW READING THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE CHEVY BLAZER PAGE ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB, I SEE THAT HIS CONDITION HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO OTHERS. I REFER YOU TO THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL ADDRESS: LFRAT5@AOL.COM . THIS PERSON HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET CHEVROLET TO RESOLVE IT. I FEAR THAT THIS SYSTEM IS RANDOMLY DEFECTIVE AND WORRY SINCE MY WIFE AND SOON TO BE DRIVING DAUGHTER WILL BE DRIVING WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHEVROLET IN GENERAL IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, YET THEY SEEM TO KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ OF ALL OF THE BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH THE CHEVY S-10 BLAZERS. I HOPE I WILL GET SOME KIND OF A RESPONSE TO THIS REPORT. THANK YOU. TIM FOSTER

I HAVE NOT PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A LEASE AND I WAS THE FIRST. NOT ONLY HAS THE TRANSMISSION GONE OUT IN THE 53,000 RANGE BUT THE BRAKES AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS. I HAVE EXCEEDED THE ALLOTTED MILEAGE AND SO I'M STUCK WITH ALL OF THE REPAIR BILLS. MY TRANSMISSION MECHANIC TOLD ME HE FOUND THE FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT IT WAS A FAULTY PART. CHEVROLET TOLD ME TOO BAD AND I FEEL IN A REALLY RUDE WAY. I REALLY FEEL FOR OTHER WHO HAVE TO REPALCE A TRANSMISSION SO SOON AFTER BUYING A VEHICLE. IF YOU CAN HELP MYSELF OR OTHERS I SURE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, TRUDY HORRIDGE

THE DATE I LISTED FOR FAILURE WAS THE LAST FAILURE DATE, YESTERDAY. TEH FIRST DATE WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAVE CONTACTED BOB FISCHER CHEVROLET. I GOT THE VEHICLE FROM TITUSVILLE CHEV, BUT THEY ARE OUT OF BUSINESS AND BOB FISCHER TOOK OVER THEIR BUSINESS. I ALSO CONTACTED CHEVROLET, THE MANUFACTURER. I ALSO CONTACTED MY LEASE COMPANY. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE. I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO RENT A VEHICLE. CHEVROLET TOLD ME TO TAKE MY BLAZER IN TO BOB FISCHER AND LEAVE IT UNTIL THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO COME ON IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT SO THEY CAN TRACE IT. SINCE THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN IT IS COLD AND IT DOESN'T GET COLD IN FLORIDA VERY MUCH YET, MY TRUCK COULD BE THERE FOR WEEKS AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO WORK. I ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ONE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT AFTER THEY DO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM, THEY STILL MAY NOT FIX IT FOR FREE, BUT MAY REPAIR IT AT A REDUCED PRICE. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ME AND VERY DANGEROUS. CAN YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?
