MY REAR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN I'M IN TWO-WHEEL DRIVE. I HAVE TO BE IN FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE BEFORE MY REAR BRAKES WORK AT ALL. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT I CAN'T FIND A CHEVROLET DEALER THAT CAN HELP ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.( DOT NUMBER: )

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WE HAD TO STOP ON GRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE SLID INSTEAD OF COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE 1992 TWO WHEEL DRIVE BLAZERS NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PRESENT RECALL.
