Owning this vehicle has been a nightmare and a financial drain. Windshield wipers worked when they chose, replaced wiper motor due to defective part. Upper and lower ball joints all had to be replaced. Wheel bearings had to be replaced. A/C stopped working, had it looked at and recharged and it still doesn't work. Fuel gage didn't work, replaced fuel sensor and sending unit. Rear wiper quit working, replaced rear wiper motor, a few days later it does not work again. Replaced water pump, have replaced ABS only to get a recall after the fact with no reimbursement. Wears through brake pads entirely too fast. Replaced alternator and battery twice. Rear hatch does not unlock with key. Headlights are so dim they might as well not exist. Water leaks into interior on drivers side due to a bad seal. Idler arm needs to be replaced. Gas pedal sticks. Now heater fan works sometimes. Reading through the complaints we are all experiencing the same problems and nothing is being done about it. Recalls issued on some vehicles but not all? now I hear GM put a bad intake manifold gasket on these as well as several other cars (1997) and did not issue a recall because it is not a safety matter! this causes antifreeze to leak into the engine and ultimately ends in a repair of at least $1500. After my experience with this vehicle I will be purchasing soon and it most likely will not be GM. Sad since my dad worked for them for 30 years. They should be held accountable for putting a bad product on the market and leaving us to dry.

While traveling at 25 mph on a wet roadway I approached a vehicle stopped at a stop light. At around 6 car lengths I applied my brakes and the vehicle would not stop, resulting in a rear end crash with the vehicle in front of me. When I applied the brakes the vehicle started to vibrate as if the ABS brakes were activating. The braking system failed to provide much stopping power. The speed at the time of collision was about 15 mph, slowed from 25.

When slowing to a stop, my ABS system kicks in and allows the vehicle to roll farther than normal, usually happens under 10 M.P.H.

Consumer applied the brakes, and the pedal went to the floor. Consumer was able to stop the vehicle by pumping the brakes consecutively three times. Then, vehicle stopped on its own. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem. Consumer informed the mechanic that this problem occurred more than once.

While driving 35 mph, the driver applied the brakes but the brakes failed. This caused the driver to collided with a vehicle while crossing an intersection. The vehicle was towed to the driver's home. The antilock brakes did not engage. The pedal was hard and the consumer could not slow down.

Brakes would not work. Experienced extreme difficulty in braking vehicle. In order to stop vehicle, had to apply pressure with both feet.

Consumer states when applying brakes, ABS has a thumping sound and there is long stopping distance. Dealer advised this was normal.

Car accelerated to 70mph when I when to downshift to get off a major highway ramp. I pressed on the brake and lost my brakes. I turned off the key to stop. I was traveling on a major highway in Maryland and at that time of day traffic was light. I could have caused a major accident due to this acceleration problem and killed someone or been killed myself. This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed now!!!!!!!

While traveling on highway, without prior warning, brake pedal went all the down to the floor. Dealership was aware of problem. At 10-15 mph on wet road the brakes locked up and the vehicle skidded colliding with another vehicle. There were no injuries.

This is the seventh failure of the brakes not functioning. Twice the boosters have been replaced, the calipers, adjusted, rebuilt, and replaced. It failed again this week and they cant find anything wrong.

Intermittently when brakes are applied, vehicle would continue on before stopping, and a grinding noise would come from front wheels. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.

Brake failure while driving at approx. 15-20 mph, you could push pedal to floor and not be able to stop vehicle. Had to have vehicle towed to garage, they determined that the hydraulic brake booster had failed. Had new booster installed and this took care of the problem.

Driver complains of loud air sound when brake is applied. Also, when parked applying the brake makes the same sound as well as affecting the rev of the engine.

While pulling into a parking space at approx. 5mph the front axle and upper ball joint snapped, causing additional damage to the ABS sensor, sliced the rim among other things. Tires were wearing in a odd position down to the belts, obviously due to problems in the front end. Dealership is repairing now. All under warranty, except the rim since it is a nonmechanical part even though mechanical defects caused the damage. Luckily this happened in a parking space and not 50ft. Sooner on the 4 lane highway I was on with my 8 yr old daughter. The wheel was half on leaning into the truck. Had it happened sooner there would have been an accident involving numerous people. The rear windshield wiper is intermittent and only works when it wants, causing distractions in vision while driving. Sometimes the wiper will not go down for up to 30min.that is also being repaired now. Contacted GM and they claim there have been no previous complaints of this matter with the axle or ball joints breaking.

While making normal stop vehicle will not stop properly no matter how hard consumer applies brakes, defect occurs intermittently, which could cause a crash. The consumer believes the vehicle was not safe to drive.

While driving about any mph stepped on the brake pedal to stop or reduce speed, but brakes would not work on dry or wet surface, causing extended stopping distance, and and resulting in an accident to consumer's wife.

Anti-lock braking system is defective. While driving on snow gently pressed on brake pedal to slow down, and T brakes locked up, sending vehicle in a spin. Brakes were real soft, then became hard. There was a car accident when running into a sign. Has not contacted the dealer yet.

Brakes routinely do not effectively stop. They "lock" give off a clicking sound, and the truck slides instead of stopping. It is my understanding that Chevy Blazer "just do that." The condition is unsafe and happens to me frequently not just on the date indicated or at the mileage reported. I have had the vehicle for 1 year now.

ABS brakes failed, causing consumer to hit a vehicle the vehicle in in front.
