| My 2000 blazer ls 2dr 4x4 has ipc problems. the ipc lights have gone out and do not illuminate the gauges, this is a safety hazard when driving. the abs and parking brake indicator lights go on and off. the parking brake sticks and wont release. due to the number of complaints, recalls, and service bulletins issued on these safety problems i think more should be done to hold the manufacturer responsible for repairing these defects. the first 11 digits of my vin match at least 2 other vehicles first 11 digits and yet chevy doesn't feel they should fix the issue with all blazers. i am concerned with the safety of my vehicle. *tr | |||

| If parking brake is set and you attempt to move the vehicle, the bolt that secures the parking brake assembly inside the wheel fails. i think this is a potential for catastrophic brake failure if the parking brake component were to interfere with the movement of the wheels. took the vehicle to the dealership and they stated that this is a known issue and all they are doing is replacing the bolt. the state of texas vehicle inspection requires setting the parking brake and attempting to drive the vehicle, which would result in the failure of this bolt. the service advisor stated that the bolt was about the thickness of a crushed coke can. i think this bolt needs to be replaced with a more secure bolt that will not fail. *ak | |||
