1999 Chevrolet Blazer

VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE AND PULSATE WHEN APPLING BRAKES. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND REAR ROTORS. ROTORS WERE PITTED AND FALLING APART. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN WEAR LIKE THIS WITH AMOUNT OF MILES AND FELT THEY WERE MADE WITH DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. WE HAVE SAVED THE 4 BAD ROTORS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE WE COULD CONTACT IN OUR AREA TO LOOK THEM OVER OR WHAT OUR NEXT STEP SHOULD BE TO GET CHEVROLET TO COVER THIS PROBLEM THAT WE FEEL IS DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP. MR

BRAKE ROTORS RUSTED ,CAUSING BAD VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. TWO OF THE ROTORS COULD BE TURNED AND TWO HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE RUST PROBLEM. I KEPT THE TWO THAT WERE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IF THIS VEHICLE WASN'T DRIVEN MUCH IN WINTER IN MICHIGAN, THAT ROTORS WOULD RUST BECAUSE OF THE HUMIDITY. I TOLD THEM I KEPT THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, BUT THEY SAID THAT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I FELT THE MATERIAL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THAT WOULD NOT COVER IT. I CONTACTED GM TO GET A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME AND NUMBER TO TALK TO BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE FIELD REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME AND NUMBER EITHER. I FEEL THAT IF A VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM IS GOING TO RUST SITTING IN A GARAGE IN THE WINTER, THAT INFORMATION SHOULD BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE PUBLISHED IN LARGE PRINT IN THE VEHICLE BROCHURES. *AK

CONSUMER REPORTING EXCESSIVE WEAR OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, FROM 17,614 TO 35,500 MILES THERE WERE THREE SETS OF BRAKE ROTORS AND TWO SETS OF BRAKE PADS REPLACE ON THE VEHICLE, AND THE PROBLEM REOCCURS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *NLM WATER LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR, DRIVER SIDE DOOR RATTLES GOING OVER BUMPS, BOTH FRONT WINDOWS OUTER MOLDING COMES OFF, MOLDINGS REPLACED, HUMMING NOISE FROM FRONT WHEELS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, WHEEL BEARING / HUB REPLACED. *TT

REAR ROTORS HAVE AREAS WHICH ARE MISSING PIECES OF SURFACE AREA WHICH REDUCE BRAKING ABILITY AND PREMATURELY OR ABNORMALLY WEAR BRAKE PADS. I HAD AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND A CHEVY DEALERSHIPS MECHANIC LOOK AT THE ROTORS AND THEY BOTH DETERMINED THE ROTORS ARE MADE OF POOR QUALITY STEEL. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS AND THEY STATED THAT DUE TO DRIVING HABITS AND AREA (WEATHER), AND THAT THE WARRANTY IS OVER THEY WILL HELP WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT ONLY. BEFORE HAVING THE ROTORS CHECKED I COULD TELL THEY WERE POOR QUALITY. COULD NHTSA INVESTIGATE OTHER ROTOR CASES AND CHECK WITH GM CONCERNING THE STRENGTH AND QUALITY OF ALL THEIR ROTORS AND DRUMS?*AK

VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 65MPH. ENGINE REVVED AND SUDDENLY SPED UPTO 80 MPH PLUS. CONSUMER COULDN'T DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL AND HAD NO BRAKES. CONSUMER PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO FLOOR. EMERGENCY BRAKE AND FOOT BRAKE FINALLY KICKED IN TO STOP VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD 2 KIDS IN VEHICLE, AND ALMOST REAR ENDED 1 VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED ,AND A GMC REPRESENTATIVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THERE WAS OVER $2300 WORTH OF REPAIRS TO BRAKE SYSTEM.
