TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WITHOUT ANY ACTION BEING TAKEN BY DRIVER OR ANYONE ELSE, FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE MODE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HI AND THEN INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LO. THIS HAS OCCURED ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. ALL INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED FROM A PREVIOUSLY PARKED OR STOPPED POSITION UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION IN OVERDRIVE. GM CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOCATING,IDENTIFYING OR REPAIRING PROBLEM AS PER THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND IS EIGHT YEARS OLD.*AK…

I HAVE A 95 S-10 BLAZER. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE BRAKES. IT SEEM TO BE FINE ON DRY PAVEMENT. AS SOON AS THE ABS KICKS IN THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. YOU CAN FEEL THE ABS PULSING BUT THERE IS NO PRESSURE GETTING TO THE CALIPERS AS IF NO BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE PEDAL IS ROCK HARD WHEN THE ABS IS ON. THE FIRST FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MISS AN INTERSECTION AND GO THROUGH A SNOW BANK NEARLY HITTING A TREE. AFTER CAREFUL TESTING THE PROBLEM IS ONLY WHEN THE ABS KICKS IN. AGAIN THE BRAKES ARE FINE ON THEIR OWN. THANK YOU. *NLM
