On three separate occasions the brake pedal went to the floor. The brakes are in good shape and the fluid level is fine. The brake pedal always feels spongy and its hard to stop the vehicle. The other complaint deals with the rear end. After the car has be en driven for about fifteen minutes the rear end will vibrate and make a grinding noise when the car takes off from a stop light or stop sign. I am the second owner of the car and it had 17000 miles on it when I bought it.

Driver's seat recliner lever broke, rear differential leaking.

This is my first Chevrolet Blazer, I have a Ford ranger that has 210,000 miles with no problems, however, this Blazer has spider gears that are out at less than 45,000 miles on it. So I'm hoping that there is a assembly flaw or manufacturing discrepency involved to correct this matter. I know that there are some problems with the chevy and GMC full size trucks, I have a couple of friends that have gone through a few rear ends already. It was found that there was a discrepency in the machining of the axle. I'm hoping that this is a related incident and that other people are having this same problem? I don't hardly ever use 4wd and I'm not hard on my vehicles, so I just don't understand why these spider gears would be going out on a 2 year old vehicle.

Differential seal leakage. Mjs.

While driving at 45 mph pins in casing near differential fell off into the spider gear in the rear end, causing the rear end to lock up and vehicle skidded down the road.
