Manufacurer | GENERAL MOTORS CORP. |
Brand | CHEVROLET |
Model | BLAZER |
Model Year | 1993 |
File date | 15/09/99 |
Component | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The vehicle moved backward, on two occasions in 1999, while running and parked on a slight incline. The transmission was fully engaged in park on both occasions. There is a recall for this condition (nhtsa 94v093000), but the recall states that the s-series trucks are excluded because they are "only 2-wheel drive." i have contacted chevrolet motor company and hhtsa and have been told that my vehicle is not covered, based upon the vin. However, my s-series blazer is 4-wheel drive, i believe that the transmission fits the recall description, and the problem that i experienced (i. E., the vehicle came out of park while running) is the condition for which the transmission was recalled. I, therefore, beleive that the statement excluding s-series trucks because they are not 4-wheel drive is incorrect and neglects the occurrence of a dangerous condition in the s-series vehicles like mine. |
