Two problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2002 Blazer LS 4dr 4wd. Around 19,000 SUV was not stopping fully at slow speeds plus scraping noise from front right wheel that would come and go. I took it to a gm dealer, but they could not duplicate the condition nor sound on a test drive so they said to come back when it happen again. Next day same thing but it stopped the sound before I could go back to the dealer. Around 20,000 miles it was continues sound of scraping from front wheels. I took it back to gm dealership they said it was the brakes and rotors on the rear of SUV. They turned the rotors and put new pads on rear. Cost over $200. Then about 23,000 miles the SUV would not stop completely again at slow speeds and the scraping sound from the front wheels. Took it to the dealer again they said it was the anti lock brakes. They repaired them. Around 26,000 took SUV to dealer for oil leak they said they would fix the leak under my bumper to bumper zero deductible warranty. Also they said my front brakes and rotors were down to 1% left with deep pitting and rust that was not covered by gm $530 cost. . Due to I don't drive my SUV 12,000 a year. I had this brake rotor problem from 19,000 miles . I only have 26,000 miles on my 2002 Blazer. With a 5yr -54,000 mile warranty that started after my lease end. Now I'm told I need rear rotors and they should have never been turned. Gm has defective brake anti-lock system plus rotors and should recall them !!.
While driving consumer heard a loud squeaking noise coming from the vehicle. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that both brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced due to worn out parts.
