| The vehicle moved backward, on two occasions in 1999, while running and parked on a slight incline. the transmission was fully engaged in park on both occasions. there is a recall for this condition (nhtsa 94v093000), but the recall states that the s-series trucks are excluded because they are only 2-wheel drive. i have contacted chevrolet motor company and hhtsa and have been told that my vehicle is not covered, based upon the vin. however, my s-series blazer is 4-wheel drive, i believe that the transmission fits the recall description, and the problem that i experienced (i.e., the vehicle came out of park while running) is the condition for which the transmission was recalled. i, therefore, beleive that the statement excluding s-series trucks because they are not 4-wheel drive is incorrect and neglects the occurrence of a dangerous condition in the s-series vehicles like mine. | |||
