2004 Chevrolet Blazer Brakes Problems

BRAKE LINE CORRODED THROUGH AND LOST REAR BRAKES DURING STOP--DEALER UNABLE TO REPAIR PROPERLY---PART NO LONGER AVAILABLE THRU GEN MOTORS--WENT OUT DURING STOP ON HIGHWAY --NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE OR PEOPLE--GROSELY LONGER DISTANCE TO STOP SAFELY.

AFTER REPLACING BRAKE PADS ON VEHICLE I WAS PUMPING BRAKES TO BLEED OUT AIR IN THE LINES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTION THE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION. REQUIRED 100% REPLACEMENT OF ALL BRAKE LINES. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR VERY SLOWLY. REPAIRED BRAKES WITH ALL NEW COMPONENTS; ROTORS, PADS, CALIPERS, NEW BRAKE FLUID. BLED BRAKES AND PEDAL IS STILL VERY SPONGY AND PEDAL WILL STILL GO DOWN TO FLOOR AFTER STOPPING. CAR WILL NOT MOVE IF YOU HOLD THE PEDAL DOWN. FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT SPONGY BRAKES ON CHEVROLET CARS.IS THERE A PROBLEM THAT I CAN NOT FIND FOR THESE CARS? *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PROBLEM I THINK- WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN DURING A LIGHT DUSTING OF SNOW AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES- VEHICLE WILL PULL ABOUT 8-15 FEET TO THE RIGHT AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL IT'S DONE PULLING YOU THIS DISTANCE. NOW THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS WET OUT AND DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME YOU BRAKE. I RECENTLY WAS BRAKING AT A RED LIGHT GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOURS AND BEGAN BRAKING ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEFORE THE LIGHT AND MY BLAZER DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT TURNED THE CORNER ABOUT 15 FEET TO THE RIGHT. I WAS NOT TRYING TO TURN THE CORNER THE VEHICLE CROSSED OVER THE CORNER SIDEWALK AND LANDED AROUND THE CORNER. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHILE IT IS PULLING YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND AM TOLD THAT THEIR EQUIPMENT CAN'T DETECT A PROBLEM. I ALSO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND AFTER THEY DISCONNECT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM THE PROBLEM SUBSIDES. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE ONE. THE CHEVY DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION ON WHAT TO DO HE SAID HE WOULD THINK IT IS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BUT SINCE THE EQUIPMENT DOESN'T INDICATE PROBLEM HE CAN'T SEE ONE. I INQUIRED IF THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION/ANTI SKID SYSTEM HE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE . CHARGED ME FOR LOOKING AT IT AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL AND IF I KEPT HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO STOP BACK AGAIN (EVEN THOUGH THEY COULDN'T DETECT PROBLEM) I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW YEARS AND OVER THAT TIME PERIOD IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES. EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS I THINK ABOUT TRADING IT IN BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO . *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN IN LATE MAY WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES THEY MADE A CRUSHING SOUND AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. SO AT 51000 MILES I AM TOLD THAT MY FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW BADLY THE ROTORS WE RUSTED. AFTER THE BRAKES WE REPAIRED ABS STILL KICKS IN AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS. SO I HAD TO TAKE THE VECHICLE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP SO THEY COULD DO A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND I AM TOLD THAT MY ABS MODUL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST IS APPROX $1300. WHEN I ASKED IF THIS WAS NORMAL AT 51000 MILES THE MAN SAID "IT'S A BLAZER". OH, DID I MENTION MY FRONT BEARING IS ALSO SHOT BUT I'M BROKE. ALSO, IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE THE SECURITY LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON. AFTER THE DEALER "FIXED" IT A FEW TIMES THEN OTHER ISSUES STARTED THE GAS GAGE DOESN'T WORK ALL THE TIME AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. I'VE HAD IT WITH THE DEALER AND KNOW I JUST DEAL WITH IT.*AK
