Took to dealer & nothing wrong was found with brakes. Vehicle overheats & passenger's door does not unlock. Battery failed. Knocking noise comes from front end on right and left turn.
The ABS light is illuminated on the dash, also consumer has not experienced any problems with stopping the vehicle. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer stated that the entire unit needed replacing.
When the brakes are applied the pedal becomes hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Also, causes the valves to stick open which causes a vapor pressure problem. The dealer is repairing the vehicle.
ABS brake problems; when applying the brakes on any type of road surface have to press the pedal extremely hard before the Blazer will stop. The front brakes have been replaced (3) times(11/96, 5/97 and 10/97). Brake problem still exists.
Whenever the brake pedal is depressed, the ABS braking system would lock up. Vehicle would continue at same rate of speed. Took to dealer & had it checked. Had egr valve replaced. Was an intermittent, random problem.
