Brakes Grabbing severely (locking-up) for the first mile?!?
First time poster
I have a 1993 with 115K on it. I drive it about 20 miles a month so its not my daily driver. About a month ago i went to get in it after it hadn't been driven in a few weeks, and when I apply the brakes, there is no response and then POW! The blazer slams to a halt. This happens about the first three times i touch the brakes and then they are fine. So by the time i can drive it to the shop (about a mile and a half away), the attendant can not replicate the problem. They tell me they have no idea what it could be. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a similar problem with my 96. Although, mine only happens after it rains/snows. But I believe my problem is the rotor rusts up and then the pads grab real hard until the rust is removed. Do you have the problem all the time?
