On Saturday, July 3, 2010 my 1999 chevy Blazer front and rear brakes failed due to excessive corrosion. Lucky no one was hurt. This is a major defect that must be addressed before someone gets killed.

1999 chevy Blazer zr2 (SUV) antilock brake system is failing at low speeds 7-10 mph? causing improper braking and pulling. Nothing done to correct yet - haven't found the cause. No crash yet. Read an article that gm was recalling 8000 vehicles up north due to this problem but I live in FL. And am having the same issue ???? no info found on line yet as to diagnosis or resolution of the problem other than just replacing the entire system $$$$.

On Friday October 20, 2006. My son and 3 friends were leaving a friends house. When my son applied his brake to slow, the brakes failed. When they failed the engine revved completely up, throttled out and shut down the vehicle. He of course had no brakes, but now no steering, and the engine was off. Not having any control, the vehicle hit a loose rock, slid into a ditch which then sent them into a series of rollovers no less than 5 no more then 7. The airbags did not deploy. When they landed 3 of the 4 doors were jammed shut. As they climb out of the vehicle, they noticed it was burning. It burned from behind the dash through the engine. I have pictures if you would like to see. The worst injury at the time was my son's shoulder, they were concerned it had a worse tear. Nothing can be done to fix this vehicle. I have notified chevy and gm. I am also talking to an attorney next week. The service brake hydraulic antilock recall has caused me concern. We don't know if it was ever taken for it's repair. Now gm can't even find or trace yet the VIN number. He had only had it 2 weeks when we had to put it in the shop because it had to be jumped to start. Then a week and a half almost 2 weeks later the brakes go out. Something major went wrong, and he hadn't even had it 30 days yet. It could have killed 4 kids. I want to know what malfunctioned.

The brakes have been checked several times for this problem and I was told that there was nothing wrong, but it has caused 1 accident in wich I was cited and nearly caused 4 other accidents. The brakes have failed at least 5 other times in conditions that normal brakes wouldn't have had a problem. Dt.

The abs brake system had failed without any warninig or indecation, I had my mechanic check the system out and he foun tha the abs pump was malfunctioning. But it did not produce a fault code to the computer nor did the dash light come on. He also checked with other meckanic in the area and they also have had the same reports from their customers about the brakes failing. The quick fix is to disable the abs system and run the brakes in the manual mode. There seems to be a problem with (96-97 ) systems. The repair cost for abs range from 900. 00 to 1500. 00 dolllars to fix. At that price there probably a lot of people riding arounrd with the abs system desabled. I think this should have a top priority to be checked out. Had I needed the brakes in a real emergency or panic stop I don't think I would be writing this letter. Thank you for yor time in this matter john t nuttall 24 b street lowell,MA. 01851.

On 11/20/01 I pressed brake pedal to floor but my brakes failed causing my vehicle to bump a vehicle in front of me (bumped vehicle at very slow speed due to heavy stop and go traffic). I initially thought that my foot merely slipped off the brake pedal as after the incident my brakes worked properly. However, on the following day (11/21/01) my brakes failed a second time. I had to swerve onto the shoulder of the road in order to avoid an accident and was finally able to get my vehicle stopped. After a short period of time, my brakes were operational again. At that point, the vehicle was taken to the closest chevy dealership (heritage auto plaza in alexandria, va) where it remains as of 10:05 a. M. On 11/26/01.

This vehicle would not stop in a parking lot. The abs system activated, but brakes failed to stop the vehicle in a reasonable distance and time. This truck is scary to drive in the snow. It does not want to stop. Has there been any recall for the abs system on 1997 Blazers?.

Traffic was stopped for road construction. Traffic began to move. Vehicle in front of me started and slammed on brakes when another pulled in front of her. I had to brake quickly - I heard a noise and my vehicle continued into hers without even slowing down. A recall had been serviced on 1/04/00. I feel that the abs brake system is a failure. I have had many such instances but luckily this was the first accident as a result of the brake failure.

On 12/22/99, my husband and I were involved in an auto accident. A woman two vehicles in front of us lost control, struck the concrete divider, flipped over & wound up upside down perpendicular in the road in our lane(left lane). Our brakes failed in our vehicle & as a result we struck the vehicle in front of us who was appearantly pushed into the overturned vehicle. Our vehicle was towed from the scene as we were taken to the hospital. My husband did not have an opportunity to advise the investigating officer of his brake failure. When the officer arrived at the hospital, he told my husband he did not want to hear what he had to say because the officer indicated he had 2 independent witnesses. The officer advised the witnesses stated the van in front of us had stopped with out striking the overturned vehicle, & therefore we too should have been able to stop. We saw the first vehicle lose control & had plenty of time to react with more than ample distance to stop. Had our brakes not have failed we would have been able to stop & there would not have been an accident. There has been a recall on 1995-1996 chev Blazers related to abs. Though our vehicle is a later model, I do believe our claim should be investigated. I have reported the claim to gm as well as our insurance CO. Please feel free to contact me so that I may answer any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you with any information &/or assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance for your time & attention in this matter.

I personally have had 2 more failures of the brakes going from ashphalt on to dirt and the brakes would only allow about 10% of the full peddle. I would like to know if there is any way I can collect damages from general motors to cover the repairs on the vehicle since the problem was obviously there f ault!!.
