Today I took my 1999 chevy. Blazer xl in for a state safety inspection-I just got a call from merchants tire and auto in culpeper, va that it's going to cost: $1200. 00 to pass inspection. Up to this point I've never had a problem braking? of any kind? then for my vehicle to "flunk" due to brake issues? I went online -typed 1999 chevy Blazer---recalls etc. . . Comes to find out---these problems should have been taken care many years ago according to the highway safety commission. Do I have a legal claim here-since problem was never fixed w/recall?.

While driving in slippery conditions, such as on wet grass or in packed snow and applying the brakes on my 1999 Chevrolet Blazer, I invariable experience a jolting from the abs system as the breaks grab and release repeatedly with my foot applying steady pressure on the brake pedal. This most often occurs while traveling at speeds under 30mph or while slowing to a stop. I was able to get the vehicle to stop each time by taking my foot off the pedal and braking again several times. Inspection of the system revealed no obvious defects or damage that would have caused this to happen.
