2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

IF PARKING BRAKE IS SET AND YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, THE BOLT THAT SECURES THE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSIDE THE WHEEL FAILS. I THINK THIS IS A POTENTIAL FOR CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IF THE PARKING BRAKE COMPONENT WERE TO INTERFERE WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE WHEELS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ALL THEY ARE DOING IS REPLACING THE BOLT. THE STATE OF TEXAS VEHICLE INSPECTION REQUIRES SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF THIS BOLT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THE BOLT WAS ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF A CRUSHED COKE CAN. I THINK THIS BOLT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A MORE SECURE BOLT THAT WILL NOT FAIL. *AK

THE PRESET MOUNTED ANGLE IS WRONG. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN AND EVEN HE, WHEN HE WAS USING A BLAZER NOTED THAT THE MIRROR WOULD NOT TAKE A PROPER SETTING. HE TOLD ME HE EVEN "CALLED AROUND" AND WAS TOLD THAT'S THE WAY IT'S COMES FROM THE FACTORY AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. IT MUST BE CORRECTED SO THE BLIND SPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS ELIMINATED. *AK
