| I have had a problem with the abs since i got the vehicle, however, i was unfamiliar with abs and thought the problem was normal. when i brake, if i hit a bump, the brakes lock up, and i continue to slide. this has happened on many occasions, on dry and wet pavements and on snow and ice. i came very close (10-15 feet) to sliding into a busy intersection once when this brake problem occurred. i received a recall letter from the manufacturer and when i attempted to have the problem fixed, was told that my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall because it was manufactured at a different plant. i have wasted a lunch hour and a lot of time on the phone trying to get satisfaction from gmc, to no avail, besides putting my life and other's lives on the line whenever i drive. as for the driver's seat problem, this developed about 2 years ago. the lever on the side of the seat which lays the back down and brings it up came off, stripped (it was plastic). now i have no way to adjust my seatback, and every once in a while, it slips back on it's own and i cannot control it. i am sure that one of these days i'll be driving along and my seatback will just fall down. the glove box door broke off the dash. if i have an accident, it will become a missile inside the cab. both the seat and the glove box door are not covered under my warranty from the manufacturer which is known as a universal warranty, and which i paid an additional $1300 to obtain, just for problems such as these. *ak | |||

| The frame rail on our 1995 chevrolet blazer s-10 rusted through and broke at the rear suspension forward spring shackle, which was welded onto the frame at the factory. upon further inspection the entire frame, and the cross members rusted to near nothing, and needed to be replaced. there was no rust on the body, sides or under side. this car had 90,000 miles on it, and was several thousand miles from being mechanically spent. $4500 estimate of repairs. *ak | |||
