I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AT AUCTION. ORIGINALLY WAS USED BY VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, APPARENTLY IT HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE 1999-2002 VEHICLES.*AK”

“1998 CHEVY BLAZER, BRAKES ARE SLIPPING WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, OR MOVING UNDER 10 MPH. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR GM SUV'S ( NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000) AND BELIEVE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE THE CHEVY BLAZER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *NM”
