NHTSA Complaint #723801 — 1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER

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.
