What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH on a slippery road, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when depressed. The vehicle went into a ditch as a result and rolled over twice, ending upside down. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was destroyed. The current and failure mileages were unknown.
Brakes squeal on normal braking. Back tires spin on dry road and squeal like someone is "peeling out". Brakes seem to ride low to the floor and barely stop the vehicle when having to stop quickly. Besides that, they make the truck keep on rolling even though the brakes are being applied . It's like the computer in the brake system detects nothing when you try to stop, I've had some very near misses as far as accidents are concerned. I just paid this monster off now everything is going wrong.
