1 Power Assist Brake problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2000

The brake power assist unit was replaced but the brakes are still not functioning well. I had the dealer check them and they said they checked out ok.

2 Power Assist Brake problem

Failure Date: 08/18/1999

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 Blazers, 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.
