| Lighting-headlights - while driving at night, my headlights (both low and highbeam) will go off altogether a few seconds after i switch to my highbeams. after emergency stopping due to lack of vision, it comes back on after sitting a few moments only to happen again and again. this is a very serious defect that almost caused a head on collision and my family to loose our lives. 2) parking brake - while parked in 4 wheel drive, motor off, on a close to flat surface, my blazer's emergency brake disengages and my vehicle has to be moved back into its paking place. electrical system:battery - battery goes dead if i leave my door open for 10 minutes to sweep out the inside. even after factory battery was replaced for the same reason. exhauste system: cvs valve replaced soon after driving off the showroom floor at dealership. brake:hydrolic anti-lock brake assembly: unable to stop vehicle while in 4 wheel drive causing a crash into guardrail in order to get stopped. brakes also fail when trying to come to a stop and running over a bump in the road...causes brakes to make a clicking noise and loose braking hold...have to reapply for vehicles brakes to work. | |||
