| Dt: the vehicle is a 1994 chevrolet blazer. the manufacturer's recalls 99041 and 99046 concerning brake failure were issued. when the consumer contacted the manufacturer they told him that this vehicle's vin was covered under the recalls. however, when they put in the vin no recalls were shown, but they agreed that they fell within the recall specification. they were not doing the recall work. someone told him that it might be because vehicle was too old to be fixed. also nhtsa recall 97v096000 for the seat belts was issued. the consumer's vehicle was experiencing the same problems as stated in the recall. the issue with the brakes started on 8-15-05. previously the brakes had to be replaced. there have been no accidents as of yet. *ak | |||

| I purchased a car form zetz auto 34 days ago. i returned the 1994 chevy blazer for repair due to the brakes going out while i was driving. the repair shop associated with this company made the repairs. i also complained about the front end frame making a cracking sound with every turn and while driving. the repair shop stating there was nothing wrong with it. today, 3/21/08 i delivered the vehicle to the repair shop for a safety inspection. i called to confirm the repair. the owner stated over the phone it was the tires, they are too big for the vehicle. i stated these are the same new tires that came with the car. no repairs will be done to the frame or axle, which i was told was probably wrong. the third complaint was with the front passenger seatbelt unlatching while i had a passenger in the car. i left several calls on their voice mail with no response. *tr | |||

| In re: seat belts: the inertia reels on the front belts (both sides) of my vehicle are inoperative 99% of the time. yanking the belts engages the reels only occasionally. the ones in the showroom vehicles engaged every time. research on the web reveals this to be a common problem and that chevrolet is charging almost $300 each to replace the defective units!. inre: the abs brakes: i was towing a boat and had to slow, quickly, for a yellow light turning red. as the abs engaged i lost my brakes and went right through the intersection! the brakes are in great mechanical condition. again, searching the web for information, i am steered to the wheel sensor wires in the front. the word is that the wires are badly routed, subject to damage, and cause loss of braking. there are numerous reports on bulletin boards of costly repairs to the wires following braking system failure! *ak | |||
