1995 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

WHIKE DRIVING 25 MPH, VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, AND FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TWO PASSENGERS SUSTAINED INJURIES. DEALERSHIPS MECHANIC WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE CAR SURGED AND LOST OXYGEN TO BRAKES, ETC. I HAVE HAD EXHAUST SYSTEM REPLACED, NEW TIRES, NEW COMPUTER E PROM, EGR VALVE CLEANED NUMEROUS TIMES, NEW INJECTOR UNIT INSTALLED, BRAKES REPLACED, TOTAL TUNEUP TO TRY AND RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. I STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TO HAVE THE CARBON CLEANED OUT OF THE EGR VALVE AS THE CAR WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY. I PURCHASED THE BLAZER FROM RICKO ENT. INC. 16 MOULTON RD, ROCHESTER, NH, 03867.ALSO KNOWN AS FIRST CITY MOTOR SALES IN ROCHESTER NH. THE OWNER, RICHARD OTTINO AGREED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS BUT NEVER DID. THE TOTAL OF REPAIRS THAT I HAVE PAID TO DATE IS $1,266.00. I SENT THE DEALERSHIP A CERTIFIED LETTER WITH ALL COPIES OF THE REPAIR BILLS.

SOY PROPIETARIO DE UNA BLAZER 95 TRACCION DE DOS RUEDAS, AUTOMATICA. VIVO EN GUATEMALA, CENTRO AMERICA. EL DOMINGO 22 DE JUNIO A ESO DE LAS17:00 HRS, ERA UNA TARDE LLUVIOSA Y TRANSITABA POR LA AUTOPISTA INTERAMERICANA AIA (LA QUE ATRAVIESA AMERICA) EN DIRECCION A LA CIUDAD DE GUATEMALA, A UNA VELOCIDAD APROXIMADA DE 80 KMS/H (50 MILES/H) CUANDO AL TOMAR UNA CURVA FACIL Y ABIERTA PERDI LA DIRECCION DEL TIMON COMO SI EL CARRO ESTUVIERA FLOTANDO, EL CARRO EMPEZO A RIGAR COMO UN TROMPO, EN EL SENTIDO DE LAS AGUJAS DEL RELOJ, SE SALIO DE LA CARRETERA DEL LADO DERECHO, SE VOLCO SOBRE EL COSTADO DERECHO Y SE ARRASTRO 10 MTS EN ESA POSICION. VIAJABA CON MI ESPOSA, UNA EMPLEADA Y MIS TRES HIJOS (8 A?OS, 4 A?OS Y 9MESES) AFORTUNADAMENTE SOLO HUBO GOLPES Y DOLORES DE CUELLO. ON SUNDAY, JUNE 22, AT 5:00 P.M., THERE WAS AN AFTERNOON RAIN AND I WAS TRAVELING ON THE TRANSAMERICA HIGHWAY AIA (WHICH CROSSES AMERICA) GOING TOWARDS GUATEMALA CITY, AT APPROXIMATELY 80 KILOMETERS/HOUR (50 MILES/H). WHEN TAKING A GENTLE AND OPEN CURVE, I LOST CONTROL OF THE WHEEL, AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS FLOATING. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPIN LIKE A TOP, CLOCKWISE, AND WENT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT TURNED OVER ON ITS RIGHT SIDE AND SLID FOR 10 METERS IN THIS POSITION. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE, AN EMPLOYEE, AND MY THREE CHILDREN (8 YEARS, 4 YEARS, AND 9 MONTHS). FORTUNATELY, WE ONLY SUFFERED BRUISES AND NECK PAINS. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AWARE THAT THE BLAZER IS AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE VEHICLE; I'VE ALSO EXPERI

TOOK 95 BLAZER IN FOR A STANDARD BRAKE JOB. UPON GOING HOME FROM WORK IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY, MY BRAKES WERE LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL. ALMOST HIT 3 CARS BEFORE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND CALL A TOW. WAS TOLD THEY PUT ON THE WRONG BRAKE PADS AND SHOES AND THEY WERE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. TWO DAYS LATER, (THINGS SEEMED OK), I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO (HWY) AND TURNED OFF TO A CURVING STEEP ROAD. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO BRAKES. I COULD NOT PUSH DOWN ON THE BAKE PEDAL AT ALL, AGAIN. I STOPED THE VEHICLE BY DOWNSHIFTING AND FINALLY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. 5 MINUTES EARLIER AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR CURVEY HIGHWAY, PACKED WITH SATURDAY TRAVELERS. I CALMED DOWN AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES I HAD BRAKE PEDAL ACTION AND MY FRIEND DROVE THE CAR BACK TO THE SHOP KNOWING WE DID HAVE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T BELIEVE IT AND CHECKED EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH A BRAKE PROBLEM AND REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER AT NO CHARGE. HE KEPT THE VEHICLE 2 DAYS AND DROVE IT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OK. HE HAD NO PROBLEMS. I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK, ASSURRED THAT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE WAS CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I DROVE TO WORK AND ON MY WAY HOME, AGAIN IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, MY BRAKES FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 8 DAYS, AGAIN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PEDAL MOVEMENT. I STOPPED USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE IN 6 LANE TRAFFIC GOING 40+ MPH. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE MEC

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED THEN BROKE UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED CONSUMER OVER STEERED AND IMPACTED A DITCH. VEHICLE SUSTAINED SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE. *AK

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 95, WITHIN THE FIRST TWO YEARS THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OVER A WEEKEND NO LESS. I HAD TO WAIT TILL MONDAY FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO OPEN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VACUUM SEAL FOR THE REVERSE CASING WAS THROWN INTO THE OTHER GEARS LEAVING ME ONLY WITH 1ST & I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TUNNEL UNDER THE BAY WHEN IT WENT OUT, NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE. I HAVE SINCE REBUILT THE TRANMISSION AGAIN. YES 2 TRANSMISSONS. I HAVE HAD 2 EGR VALVES GO OUT A FEW HUNDRED $ EACH TIME. THE TRANSMISSON MOUNTS AND MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BUSTED (MAYBE DUE TO A CAR WRECK BUT NOT SURE). I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE COMBO SWITCH (FOR HAZARDS, GEAR SHIFT, BLINKERS AND WIPERS) TWICE AND NOW HAVE TO DUE IT FOR A THIRD TIME. THE PART ALONE IS $250-$300. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAD TO REPLACE IT WAS FOR THE HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON BRAKING. THE 3RD TIME THE BUTTON BROKE AGAIN (JUST BY TURNING ON THE HAZARDS) AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING BY WITHOUT REPLACING IT BY TAPING IT DOWN (OTHERWISE THE HAZARDS ARE ON 24/7) BUT KNOW I HAVE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE THERE WAS A SHORT IN IT THAT MAKE MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ALSO CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES THE ABS HAVE LOCKED ON ME. IT SEEMS THAT ANY TIME I TURN THE WHEEL OR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BRAKING THE ABS LOCKS. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE AVOIDED COLLISIONS ON THESE CASES BUT NOT BY MUCH. WHILE LOOKING ON THIS SITE I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECA

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE EGR VALVE BEING CLOGGED!NOW WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED, AND NOW IT'S BACK IN THE SHOP DUE TO THE SPIDER.THE ABS BRAKES ALSO DON'T WORK PROPERLY.ARE THERE RECALLS DUE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM?*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN USE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM (03V15900) BUT THE TRUCKS VIN NUMBER WAS OUTSIDE THE REMEDY SCOPE. *NLM

EGR VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS BECOMING REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *LA

AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE. THIS SWITCH AFFECTS TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND MANY OTHER COMPONENTS. *AK IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, THE SWITCH ARM WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW PART. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE TURN SIGNAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT FUNCTION. THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON AND FREQUENTLY FOUND IN THIS MAKE/MODEL. THE TURN SIGNAL ARM ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THE SAME TURN SIGNAL ARM WAS REPLACED WITHIN MONTH'S OF REPLACING THE ORIGINAL. *SCC *JB

CAR STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES AT ANY SPEED. INDEPENDENT SHOP STATED THAT VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO A FAULTY EGR VALVE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT ANOTHER DRIVER NOTICED GAS POURING FROM REAR OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. *AK

AIR CONDITIONING EVAP. CASE DISINTEGRATING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALLOWING / PULLING ENGINE GASES / FUMES INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *JB

OCCASIONAL SMELL OF GASOLINE WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AREA, USUALLY WHEN MAX A/C IS ENGAGED. SMELL GOES AWAY PRIOR TO HAVING CHECKED BY DEALER. DEALER ADVISE THAT IT CAN'T BE CHECKED IF IT DOESN'T SMELL WHEN BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP. OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR SINCE PURCHASE. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH DOWN HILL, THE CONSUMER MADE A SUDDEN STOP AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET ON THE FLOOR BOARD, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND SUBSEQUENTLY CRASHED. *AK *SCC *JB

VEHICLE OIL LINE EXPLODED. *MR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONSUMER LIFTED THE HOOD AND VIEWED OIL EVERYWHERE. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL LINE EXPLODED. THE OIL LINE FROM THE OIL FILTER MOUNTED OFF THE ENGINE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. *SCC *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE EGR VALVE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE MIXING WITH THE FUEL WAS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. (WHEN THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP IN THE EGR VALVE, IT WOULD LEAVE IT OPEN AND CAUSED NO VACUUM HARD PEDAL AND BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN IT RAINED OR WAS COLD THE TRUCK RAN ROUGH. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD RUN ROUGH MORE THAN ONCE, NOISE WAS PRESENT AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNT WIRES AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED SOFT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OTHER BRAKE COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO TRY AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE CD PLAYER HAD NOT WORKED SINCE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CHANGED, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE, A NOISE WOULD OCCUR WHEN TURNING BUT WAS NOT DUPLICATED, AND THE MUFFLER TAIL PIPE HAD FALLEN OFF AND RUSTED DUE TO CARBON BUILD-UP. THE EGR VALVE WAS CLEANED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IN ORDER TO PERFORM A PROPER JOB, THE EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP IN THE UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH EFFECTED THE EGR PENDEL, AND THE 02 SENSOR COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, FUEL PUMP, THE BRAKES, ETC. THE BRAKES SQUEAKED, THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS, NO AIR CONDITIONING, AND NO 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THE FUEL INJECTIONS NEEDED TO BE CHECKED, AND THERE WERE TWO RECALL STICKERS ON THE ENGINE. *SCC THE REAR WIPER MOTOR, FUEL INJECTORS AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED. *J

MY BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK AND I WAS SPEEDING ON THE ROAD. MY ALTENATOR "WENT OUT". THE EXACT INCIDENT I HAD HAPPENED WITH A FRIEND'S FRIEND A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. HE ALSO DRIVES A BLAZER.*AK

EGR VALVE & OXYGEN SENSORS PROBLEM THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES BY DEALER & PRIVATE MECHANICS. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS SENT OUT IN 1997 WITH A SUMMARY THAT PROVIDES IF NOTHING ELSE A TEMPORARY FIX. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FIXING THIS PROBLEM OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT, PREFERABLY A RECALL TO HAVE IT FIXED PERMANENTLY. I HAVE VIEWED OTHERS COMMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS AN OVERALL PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY. SINCE YOUR QUESTIONS BELOW DO NOT PRVIDE ROOM FOR EXPLANATION IN THE CRASH COLUMN, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WHEN THESE VALVES GET CLOGGED UP THE VEHICLE LITERALLY SEIZES. JUST STOPS, NICE THOUGHT! MY PERSONAL MECHANIC HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS CLUGGING (AS IT WILL), PRIOR TO SEIZING UP & JUST STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, (AS IT HAS ALREADY DONE), BRING IT IN, (WE WILL CLEAN IT OUT). WHO'S FAULT WILL AN ACCIDENT BE? THAT REPAIR COULD BE TO THE TUNE OF $100.00 DEPENDING ON IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, AND STILL NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. CURRENTLY WE ARE A TWO CAR FAMILY WITH 2 TEENAGERS IN THE MARKET. CHEVROLET DEALERS WILL NOT BE ON MY LIST TO VISIT. FOR THIS PROBLEM YOU WOULD NEED A REACURRING INCIDENT DATE.*AK

EGR VALVE, FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM,CPI INJECTOR, FREEZE PLUGS. *AK

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *JB THE DEALER STATED THE UNIT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED OR REBUILT. *JB

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. *AK

OIL HOSE ASSEMBLY MOTOR SIDE; OIL HOSE ASSEMBLY FROM FILTER TO RADIATOR FAILURE. *AK

VEHICLE HAD A NO START CONDITION. MECHANIC THOUGHT ISSUE WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. VEHICLE STARTED, BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER VEHICLE STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CONSUMER NOTIFIED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SPECIAL RECALL ON THE CMFI UNIT, BUT VEHICLE WAS OVER THE MILEAGE TO QUALIFY. IT SEEMED THAT THE PROBLEM RESULTED FROM THE FUEL USED IN CALIFORNIA. CONSUMER WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF SPECIAL RECALL. CALIFORNIA OWNERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TT

ACCORDING TO A USA TODAY ARTICLE GM IS GOING TO BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR 1997-8 SUV'S(W/PWR. MIRRORS), FOR AN ELECTRICAL PROB. IN THE WIRING IN THE DOORTHAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I THOUGHT THE RADIO SAID IT WAS 1995-98. MY CAR JUST HAD AN APPARENT SIMMILAR INCIDENT. MY VEHICLE WAS A 1995 BLAZER LS 2DR.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO GET THE TIRES BALANCED. THE DEALER STATED THE UPPER BALL JOINTS AND LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

THE VEHICLES WINDSHIELD WIPER EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT AS STATED IN RECALL 98 V 150 000. THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *NLM

AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR HOUSING IS DECOMPOSING (BECOMING BRITTLE) AND BREAKING, THEREBY ALLOWING THE BLOWER AREA TO BE COMPROMISED AND RESULTING IN VERY LOW AIR FLOW AND INCREASED MOISTURE. FEAR FAILURE OF EVAPORATOR DUE TO MOISTURE. THIS PROBLEM FIRST NOTICED IN JULY 1999. *JB

THE PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO SEPARATE. *JB

THE ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. *JB

THE CONSOLE LIGHTS CAME ON FOR NO REASON. *JB

THE OIL LINE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. *JB

EGR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE 1999 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I JUST HAD THE EGR VALVE REPLACED YESTERDAY AND TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THE NASTY SMELL OF EXHAUST/FUEL IS BACK IN MY VEHICLE. I ALSO HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. REPLACED TWO WEEKS AGO. VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE. SAFETY HAZARD! I HAVE TWO SMALL BABY'S AND FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE OF BREATHING IN EXHAUST/FUEL AND VEHICLE STALLING WHENEVER. MDH IN VIRGINIA. *NLM

THE VEHICLES EGR VALVE MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO RUN PROPERLY. *NLM

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AS STATED IN RECALL # 98V150001, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

PURCHASE PRICE BE AWARDED TOWARDS ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *DT *JB

THE OIL COOLER LINE (4.3W) ON MY CHEVY S10 BLAZER CAME OUT OF THE CRIMP AND CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE. THE DEALER WHO SOLD AND DOES WORK ON THIS VEHICLE SAYS IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THE REPAIR PRICE TAG IS QUITE A LARGE SUM! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AND HOW CAN CHEVY LET A "DEFECT" OF THIS MAGNITUDE GO UNNOTICED! I DO NOT FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR!*JB

THE HOSE CAME OFF THE OIL FILTER. WHICH FORCED THE DRIVER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD.*JB

THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE 4- WHEEL DRIVE WAS NOT ENGAGED. *JB

THE COOLANT LINE CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK.*JB

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN WE WERE COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT ---- AS WE PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 2500 RPM. THIS MADE STOPPING THE VEHICLE A LOT MORE DIFFICULT & COULD FEEL THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS WORKING TO STOP THE CAR. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NEVER A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US IN EACH OF THE INSTANCES ---- BUT WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FUTURE ACCIDENT. MY CONFIDENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIPS IS NOT VERY HIGH IN DIAGNOSING THIS PROBLEM IF THEY CAN'T RE-CREATE IT OR IF IT DIDN'T SENT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE. THEY WOULD JUST CHARGE ME FOR THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EFFORTS. NOTE: I ALSO RECENTLY HAS HIGH REVVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT THEY WERE AT START-UP & IT SENT A TROUBLE CODE. AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A IAC VALVE AND PCM REPLACEMENT BILL --- THEY ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE & MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. *NLM

THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK ONTO THE OIL PAN AND BLEW OUT THE ENGINE. *JB

VEHICLE HAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE OIL COOLANT LINES,IT KEEPS LEAKING OIL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE LINE TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. PH

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE LIGHTS COMES ON, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS RESULTS IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS AND BLEED THE BRAKES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIT. PH

THERE WAS A CONSTANT SMELL OF GAS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER NOTICED FUEL WAS "BUILDING" ON TOP OF ENGINE. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. *PH THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW CENTRAL PORT INJECTOR. *JB

4 EGR VALVES (AND I HAVE GOT TO PUT THE 5TH ONE ON NOW) IN THE LAST 3 YEARS $200.00 EACH. 2 CMFI UNITS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR LEAKING THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED $500.00 EACH. FUEL PUMPS $80.00 EACH TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. COOLING IS A PROBLEM IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED BUT IT WOULD LIKE TO IN THE SUMMER. I AM A MECHANIC AND ALL OF MY CARS ARE TAKEN CARE OF TO THE SLIGHTEST DETAIL BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL TO REPLACE THIS STUFF MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LIFE OF A CAR MUCH LESS A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR. *JB

GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR) FAILED 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. BRAKES FAILED BY THE TIME VEHICLE GOT TO DEALERSHIP. *TT

NHTSA# 99-I-006-000: ABS BRAKE. THESE VEHICLES CAN EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS ON CERTAIN MULTIPLE SURFACES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. CONSUMER STATED HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER VEHICLE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHILE HUSBAND DRIVING THE VEHICLE A REAR END. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

WE PURCHASED A 95 CHEVY BLAZER FROM A DEALER USED AT THE END OF OCTOBER 2002. LESS THAN 60 DAYS LATER, THE OIL COOLER LINE FELL APART AND ALL OIL DRAINED FROM THE ENGINE IN 30-60 SECONDS, CAUSING COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP IN TRAFIC IN A DANGEROUS AREA AND THERE WAS NOT TIME TO DRIVE TO A SAFE AREA TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOLD US THAT THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND SUGGESTED THAT WE CONTACT THE DEALER AS THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CONTACTED CHEVROLET WHO HAS DECLINED ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM, YET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE OIL HOSE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN 60 DAYS BEFORE, WE NOW ARE FACING A REPAIR BILL THAT IS HALF THE COST OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER'S RESPONSE WAS "TOO BAD."

NHTSA#9335-99-I-006-000 THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN 2 ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED, THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER FAILED TO HONOR THE RECALL. *TS *JB
