What owners wrote
The chevy blazer had multiple defects. The air bag did not deploy upon impact. The vehicle had air and water leaks around the windows, oil was being consumed abnormally, the seat belt had come loose and the brakes did not work properly. The consumer was informed that the vehicle had been wrecked. The consumer had three accidents in which all were frontal impacts.
While driving in slippery conditions, such as on wet grass or in packed snow and applying the brakes on my 1999 chevrolet blazer, I invariable experience a jolting from the ABS system as the breaks grab and release repeatedly with my foot applying steady pressure on the brake pedal. This most often occurs while traveling at speeds under 30MPH or while slowing to a stop. I was able to get the vehicle to stop each time by taking my foot off the pedal and braking again several times.
