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. Also, calipes/rotors, shoes and pads were replaced 1 month before incident.

Dealer stated on 9/26/200 that fuel pump was faulty. Replaced this...auto still did not work. Dealer stated maybe a faulty fuel pump was sent, ordered a 2nd, put this one in. Again, auto did not run. After the 1st one was installed, vehicle was released to me, 1.5 hours later, I was again stranded. Dealership said it was a cpi, something within the fuel injector system. That was replaced. It wasn't the problem. They finally stated it was 3 injectors within this unit. Those were replaced and my vehicle returned to me. Auto was in the shop from 9/26/2000 until 10/10/2000. On 10/12/2000, on route 33 westbound, my accerlerator stuck, my brakes did not work, vehicle was doing 95 mph. I gained control of vehicle and got it stopped. It was towed from logan, Ohio to columbus where I leased it from. As of right now, it's driveable, but not fixed. The dealership did secure the cruise control cable away from accerlerator so that I could drive it. I had to pay for a rental from 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. They refused to give me a loner car or rental from them. I am still afraid to drive this, I've had too much bad luck the last few weeks with it. I'm fighting with GM to be reimbursed for the rental, total amount is $533. I would like to get out of this lease, have my lease transferred to something else. As far as I know, there are no recalls on the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer, but I would like to know if there is any. It just seems its falling apart on me!!
