Blazer 4WD

Brake vacuum booster failed unexpectedly at 26000 miles resulting in dangerous loss of pedal pressure.. the part was replaced at midas with a genuine Chevrolet replacement part. I still have the defective brake booster in a box in my garage. Would you be interested in examining this part? I would be willing to ship it to you. Given the number of brake failures and problems with Chevy Blazer, this should be worth looking into before a brake booster failure kills or injures someone. When this part failed, it was extremely hard to stop the vehicle.
