	Dt: the contact owned a 1994 chevrolet s10 pickup. while on the ny throughway at mile post 145 west bound with two lanes of very heavy traffic all the vehicle in front of contact's vehicle were hitting the brakes because it was heavy traffic. contact's vehicle was on the outside passing lane going straight with plenty of room barely hit the brakes and they went to the floor. since everyone in front suddenly stopped contact's vehicle had to move over, went on the median in the highway to keep from hitting the vehicle in front and passed about 40-50 vehicles. began down shifting, and finally got the vehicle to stop. the vehicle was towed to the repair shop, and they repaired both brake lines. contact knew someone that owned a 1996 chevrolet silverado and had same problem, brake line broke and vehicle went into a wall. also, knew a retired mechanic, who stated that this was a known problem with gm abs brakes. the back brakes had to be adjusted very tightly to have brake pressure. the police officers did not fill out an accident report because there was no accident. *ak

	I purchased my 1994 chevy s-10, vin 1gccs194xrk155613, new in '94. within the first 3 months of ownership, i noticed a problem with the rear braking system. the problem, the adjustors are shoving the shoes too tight against the drums, causing them to drag, glazing the shoes, & after periods of time, burning up the shoes, warping the drums. i've had to replace shoes & drums an average of every 30,000 miles. taken the truck back several times with no results or problem acknowledgment. they clean them, adjust them, charge me, ship me out the door. when the roadway is wet or snowy, the rear brakes constantly lock up. this has thrown me into several intersections, into oncoming traffic, because of no brakes. when the rear brakes lock up the front brakes unload, leaving me with no brakes. the front pads go an average of 80,000 miles without needing changed. you ask for number of failures. the brakes fail during rains, snow, etc? each time i hit my brakes during these conditions is a failure. i can't list all incident dates, there's too many! i listed approx. begin date instead. this is still ongoing today! for gm to recall safety belts as a safety hazard is one thing. to totally ignore & hide a braking problem as nothing is quite another. i feel brakes are a bit more of a safety feature. i feel the braking system is very important. for gm to ignore this problem verifies why their stock is now considered junk bonds! just like my truck, junk! i ask for a reply, as i would like to know if you have gotten other complaints or comments on this braking system, in this year. i've talked with others & learned they have the same problem and have been blown off by dealers as well. thank you for your time and help with looking into this matter.

	When the brakes were applied, the pedal traveled to the floor, the master cylinder was replaced, however the problem persisted. jb....the fist notice of impending failure was very slowly sinking brake pedal while stopping in traffic. as more stops were made the rate of the pedal sinking became faster. cups in the maste cylinder were letting brake fluid leak by them. new master cylinders did not solve problem.ak

	The brake pedal will go to the floor when the abs system responds to a bump in the road, resulting in extended stopping distances. the brake pedal needs to be pumped several times until a firm pedal is achieved. this occurs only intermittently, so is difficult to troubleshoot. the 'recall' work for the abs was performed years ago. this problem has occured both before and after the abs work was performed.*ak

	In situations where emergency stops are needed on road surfaces that are covered with gravel, wet, or otherwise traction challenging environment, the brakes are not reliable. the design of the brake system of this class vehicle is faulty, and produces unreliable preformance at times when one would expect reliable and dependable performance. since buying this truck i have been involved in 3 rear end collisions in which the truck did not stop until it found whatever was in front of me. in all 3 cases it has been another car producing, 2 possibly 3, whiplash claims plus vechicle damage claims. until buying this vehicle i never had a rear end accident. on 7/7/2002, on a wet but level pravement as i approached an intersection with a traffic light that was red for the direction i was going. i began to slow down as i approached the car in front of me. the brake lights on the car in front of me went out and it appear the car was moving forward. when the brake lights suddenly came back on, i hit my brake peddle hard and firm. intially there was some braking sensation an a whirrrr-ing sound but i kept going forward until i hit the car in front me. while damage to my truck was minimal, about $900, the rear of the 2001 nissan altima that i hit, was considerable, fortunately the driver says she was not hurt but i would not be surprised if a whiplash claim is filed. the next day i took the truck into the nearest chevrolet dealer to check the condition of the brakes and to double check that the recall campaign work had been done. the brakes were inspected, road tested and declared to be in proper condition and function as designed. the key here is the phrase function as designed. what is not said is that the design of this brake system allows for an extended stopping distance of unpredictable length or control of the driver, under the exact circumstances of my collisions. neither chevrolet or gm give a warning in the owner's manual or by other means.*ak

	Since abs campaign #c99046 vehicle recall service july 7, 2000 to replace abs part # 8880026 module kit 4.720 i have had three loss of brakes in emergency stop/accident avoidance situation resulting in damages to frontal area of my vehicle all 3 time. and the last two times rear ending other person's vehicles. ever since this recalled module was changed in low speed sudd stop or accident avoidance maneuvers while hitting the brake pedal the abs unit comes on with a pedal pumping pulsation but never slows or stops the truck. i have also had both front seat tracks broken by the impact to impairing rear seat passenger entry and exit. i have had the brakes redone continously and filed claim with g.m. last time requesting engineering investigation to no avail. i have found that this model abs rear brakes are not auto adjusting after two prior accidents trying to get th brakes working correctly. i had had no followup by nhtsa regarding my last complaint by made by a tty/relay call as i am deaf. my insuranc has gone out of sight because of accident claim filings to fix this truck and never once did the insurance companies include th brake repairs in their reports. the truck brakes fine under all noprmal driving conditions including high speed thruway accident avoidance stops. its just the low speed on dry roads with very warm near 90 degree temperature days on asphalt this happens and there is never a braking skid mark or wheel lock up at any accident site. i was advised that the recall module replacement was to resolve a northern wintertime icy condition stopping problem. the truck has never been driven in northern icy climates and the truck has always had expensive oversized special high performance tires/wheels/suspension components to enhance braking and handling. with this recall module change the brake fluid also gets black and contaminated faster. i want to unload this vehicle but am afraid a person unfamiliar could get hurt or hurt someone. help!*ak

	Following is the correspondence i have had through email with gm. after 5 months i have my truck back and have spent over $800 for something i have found out they had a major recall for failed brakes. i had a recall and took it to this dealership. the recall was for a19 94 blazer and had something to do with the switch on the abs brake system. about a week after i got it back the brake lights came on as i was driving down the road. they stayed on for about 5 miles until i reached my destination. when i started it back up they were off. the next week i was in traffic and braked sharply and the lights came on and i had no brakes. i pumped and they stopped me just in time. lights went off. i took it make to the shop and they kept it for a week trying to figure out what was wrong with it. they called the hotline and said they could not help. they were finally able to make it happen and said it was the master cylinder and brake booster. i took it to my brother who has always worked on my car. he said i didn't need the brake booster, but put on a new master cylinder. it happened again the next day going down a hill in traffic, i braked and the lights came on and i had no brakes for about 15 seconds. i took it back to my brother, he called a dealership in versailles, ky and they called the hotline. they told him this had never happened before and offered no help. my brother thought it could be a defective master cylinder and put on another one. it happened again the next day. it has happened the last two days again. i just need to get it fixed if someone can tell me what's wrong. i don't want to get hurt or hurt someone else. i sure would appreciate anything you can do. this was in june. i to it back to the dealership and put in a brake booster and catalytic converter after at least 2 months.

	I took my 1994 chevrolet s-10 in to the dealer back in december for the abs recall, and ive still been having problems with my brakes, although not quite the same. this problem is much scarier then the first, and is a major safety hazard. the abs seems to be overly sensitive, kicks in when doing a standard brake and causes you to lose control and slide past your stopping point. i have noticed this under rainy/wet conditions. this is a major safety hazard, and something must be done to get chevy to come up with a real fix to this braking problem before it leads to accidents resulting in injury/death.

(i had take my blazer in numerous times for that specific problem) i read an article in usa today stating that they were recalling vehicles from 94 and up. my vehicle being a 1994 s10 blazer, fell under this. i contacted gm and they told me to take it in and have the brakes repaired i took my vehicle in 08feb 00, and the dealer stated that my vehicle's computer could not be reprogrammed and therefore they could not fix it. i called gm and now they say my vehicle is no under that recall policy. this is not what they told me earlier and everything i have read shows that my vehicle should have been recalled. can someone explain to me what the heck is going on? my brakes have gone out 5 times since i owned the truck. the last time my wife and son were inan accident beacause of this. gm is taking advantage of rolling the dice because they know the little guy can't go out and hire a lawyer. i want my truck fixed, how do i get this done. please e-mail me a response. thank you. *ak

	While driving on the beltway (395) in dc, traffic had come to an abrupt stop. as i went to apply my brakes the pedal locked-up and i could not apply the brakes. the normal abs sounds were present but the brake pedal would not move. the abs light nor any other light came on. i had to stop using my emergency brake. i pulled off to the side of the road and it appeared to have corrected itself. i continued at a slow speed and tried the brakes again and i was able to stop. while driving home to new york it did not occur again. i drove the vehicle to dc again and it occured a few more times. i had it checked at a service station and they found nothing wrong. i continued to drive the vehicle and the problem did not occur immediately. on 4-8-99 i was returning from a store with my wife. i was entering the on ramp of i-84 in middletown ny, when i applied my brakes to slow down on the ramp the problem occured forcing my vehicle to sway side to side and almost rolling over. i called a gm dealer and they said that if the light didn't come on then there was probably nothing wrong with the abs. i told them i would like to have it checked out any way. upon the dealer inspecting the brakes they apparently found that the high hydraulic unit abs pump was defective and it was costly to repair. my concern is not that i have to pay more than $1000.00 to correct the problem but that there are thousands of 1994 blazers on the road and that this problem can occur with out warning (no lights). if any part of the abs is defective the self test that is run on the abs should identfy this particular problem because it is something that can be measured (ie. pressure). my vehicle is at port jervis auto mall service department (914) 856-5104. i would appreciate any action you may take in investigating this matter. not every one will be able to think of stopping with their emergency brake when the pedal locks up. i was lucky to avoid an accident.

	I purchased my 1994 chevy s-10, vin 1gccs194xrk155613, new in '94. within the first 3 months of ownership, i noticed a problem with the rear braking system. the problem, the adjustors are shoving the shoes too tight against the drums, causing them to drag, glazing the shoes, & after periods of time, burning up the shoes, warping the drums. i've had to replace shoes & drums an average of every 30,000 miles. taken the truck back several times with no results or problem acknowledgment. they clean them, adjust them, charge me, ship me out the door. when the roadway is wet or snowy, the rear brakes constantly lock up. this has thrown me into several intersections, into oncoming traffic, because of no brakes. when the rear brakes lock up the front brakes unload, leaving me with no brakes. the front pads go an average of 80,000 miles without needing changed. you ask for number of failures. the brakes fail during rains, snow, etc? each time i hit my brakes during these conditions is a failure. i can't list all incident dates, there's too many! i listed approx. begin date instead. this is still ongoing today! for gm to recall safety belts as a safety hazard is one thing. to totally ignore & hide a braking problem as nothing is quite another. i feel brakes are a bit more of a safety feature. i feel the braking system is very important. for gm to ignore this problem verifies why their stock is now considered junk bonds! just like my truck, junk! i ask for a reply, as i would like to know if you have gotten other complaints or comments on this braking system, in this year. i've talked with others & learned they have the same problem and have been blown off by dealers as well. thank you for your time and help with looking into this matter.

	As i proceeded to pass another vehicle, throttle stuck while vehicle was in passing gear. due to high engine rpm, vacuum assistance of the brakes was lost as well. this all occured while descending a long hill with a steep curve at the bottom. although i was standing hard on the brakes, i kept gaining speed. while attempting to brake, i shifted to neutral. shifting into neutral resulted in excessive rpm, so i had to shift back into drive gear to keep from blowing the engine. when the situation was getting critically dangerous(curve looming ahead and still gaining speed), and when i was about to turn off the ignition (my last remaining option), the throttle finally released. at one point, my speed was approx. 60 mph, although i was standing on the brakes. at this point, i haven't yet determined whether the cause is electronic or mechanical. my suspicion is a fault in the cruise control. i do know it scared me and is a potentially very dangerous problem. will notify if i can determine the exact cause of the problem.

	I was driving home from my 2nd job on 4/27/99 around 9:00 pm, it was raining and my windshield wipers were working as i left my job, but before i could make it a mile down the road they quit. i had to stop in a dimly lit industrial park and try to get them to come back on, i was not able to accomplish that. i had to drive home in the pouring rain with my head hanging out the window basically, it was either that or walk in the dark and rain. i could have had an accident because of these faulty wipers. also, since i purchased this truck in '94 my brakes have collapsed numerous times, at one point they collapsed when i was going down a slight hill, when they collapsed i swerved ever so slightly and side-swipped a curb which damaged my rim and caused a flat. since then i have had to have the master cylinder replaced, the brakes replaced constantly, and anytime i take it to a shop to be repaired they cannot find the problem. i only have 68,000 miles on a 5 year old truck and i have to be very careful driving it because i never know if the brakes will stop. *ak
