Since the car was new, sometimes when the cruise button is pushed the car will automatically go full throttle. If i step on the brake it will stop. I had it to the chevy dealer when it was new. It would never do it for them. It only happens about twice a year. They replaced some parts on the cruise control but that did not fix it.
Truck parked in back yard just caught fire. Fire department said fire started under dash on drivers side. I am now without a vehicle to drive and if there were a defect in this years truck why wasn't there a recall on it.
Alternator bearing seized up, causing engine fire. * dsh
I over took care of this truck as i loved it so much. It now repulses me to look at it. I thought that maybe it was a lemon but my brother had one a year older that had the same engine problems with the radiator,alternator repairs fuel injection, roller cam, engine replacement @ 73,000 miles only he dumped his before the engine need replaced and no customer service from gm. The only way its like a rock is when it sinks in a lake! i called gm got a case #990448783 (8/9/99) but now it has a new engine it still sound like the alternator is going every time i have it looked at it cost $200.00 and they find some thing else. When i have the money to dump it i will and i will never own another gm product i'm now $5,600 into this but it will be my last gm truck or product.
The wife was driving on interstate highway at 60-65 mph.all gages, sounds, noises were normal.at approxitmately 30 miles from home there was a "bang"under the hood followed by repeated thumping.she immediately checked the gages.batery light was on and the alternater gauge was almost to zero.she pulled to the side of the freeway and stopped.she tried to contact me at my office for approximately 3 minutes.she then noticed increasing black color at the driver side hood and fender junction and heat waves eminating from the hood area.she got out and through the wheel well saw flames in the engine compartment .about one minute later an ohio state patrolman among others pulled up to the scene.my wife was able to salvage most of the personal effects in the vehicle except for those in the front passenger compartment.the vehicle burned quickly from bumper to bumper.the trooper said that the fire was so hot and moved so fast that if she had tried to make the exit 1/2 mile up the road thethe fire would have come through the fire wall and under the dash and that she probably would have been severly burned or killed.if there would have been young children or infants in car seats there may not have been enough time to get them out.the vehicle was well maintained, regular oil changes but no recent service performed on the vehicle.there was no warning or noise prior to the failure.my evaluation is that something went wrong with the alternator.in the burned out shell the alternator was detached from the engin, lying on the frame work under the driverside headlights and sideways facing the passanger side.the fire was so hot that the aluminum alternater case was melted away and the aluminum ac evaporator coil and radiator coil were both partially melted away in the vacinity of what was left of the alternator.in the past several months i have run across at least 6 other in the central ohio area where this style of chevy blazer has caught fire.*a

This car is a death trap. Car loses all power; steering, braking then stalls. Problem w/ egr valve since 1997, replaced linear egr, 4 mths ago, continues to stall when slowing, letting up on gas.dealer cleaned manifold, happened again 2 weeks later, brought back to dealer, said can't pinpoint problem guess something with egr valve.
Egr valve would plug up with carbon. This condition occurred on five occasions,causing the erratic operation of the idle,which in turn, causeed loss of steeringand brakes. Dealer /manufacturer notified and refused to do repairs unless cost goes to consumer. Also, informed consumer that corrections were done only on a one time basis.all other times it would be at consumer's expense. Can nhtsahelp in this matter.

The feed and fuel lines are manufactured of polycarbinate - plastic-that will harden, crack; therebyexposing risks to the public at large.additionally, the fuel pressure regulator diaphram is under high pressure compared to other chevrolet models.for example, a pontiac 6000 operates at approx 40 lbs psi fuel pressure.the chevrolet s-10 blazer cmpi fuel system operates at approx. 60 lps. Psi.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 5 mph and attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not accelerate.there seemed to be no gas moving though the fuel line.at times, there was difficulty in starting the vehicle.it was taken to a service dealer who inspected the fuel tank for accessibility.the fuel tank was replaced and a new fuel pump was installed.there was a nhtsa recall # 06e041000 regarding the fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittingson the year, make and model of this vehicle however the manufacturer was not contacted to verify if the vehicle was included in the recall.
While driving at any speed for no reason the blazer stalls, will not restart and has to be towed. This has happenedon (4) different occasions. The fuel pump has been changed (5) times because there is no pressure in the pump. The vehicle has stopped working again and has to be towed a (5th) time.
I have a 93 s10 blazer and the truck shut down while my daughter was driving.the ecmb fuse was blown and would blow out when the ignition switch would be turned on.i finally tracked the problem down to the fuel pump.when i removed the gas tank and pulled out the fuel pump, the wire inside the tank were welded together and the plug on the end of the fuel pump was melted (fused) together.this really concerns me that these internal components can get hot enough to melt they could easily cause the tank to explode.also the wiring is attached to the sending unit and to replace both of these components it will cost over $600 just for parts.this is a terrible design and a nasty hazard, somebody may be killed.
Fuel pump failed, resulting in shutdown, replaced 3 times.tt

Nhtsa recall #94v093000/manufacturer's recall 9474l60e07. Contacted dealer, and parts were not available.consumer having problems withrecall subject.
Vehicle was in park position & turned off.but when the vehicle was turned on, the vehicle jumped foward like a manual transmission,but this one is automatic transmission.
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.
While driving about any mph engine will not accelerate, and sometimes will start losing power inmiddle of highway.dealer had been contacted.please provide more information.

The problem that i am having is already a recall in the 1993 and 1994 chevy extendedcab pickups the seat code in question is a95 there is a bolt that brakes and the seat thenreclines without warningthis happens due to wear in the seat frame i believe, i have purchased the repair parts and installed them and now the seat is working loose again it looks like the frame is weak around the bolt hole, if i recall correctly the bulliten at the dealer says that if the repair does not fix the problem that the seat frame may need replaced. I personally feel that general motors abdicated their responsibility to the consumer . I believe that this company should follow through with these recalls on all vehichles that could have this potential problem. My 1993 chevy blazer has the same seat code that is offered in the pickups ,the blazer,surburban, and the yukon could also have the same seat,and potentially the same problems.

Vehicle surges while parking, causing accidents.
Inside the throttle body fuel is leaking from the nylon fittings. Vehicle would not start right away. Have to keep trying a few times before catchting hold.
Accelerator pedal got stuck, vehicle hit the side ofa building.
Poor alignment between brake and throttle pedal causes right foot to hit throttle upon heavy brake application.the spring tension on the throttle is relatively light, and many people may not notice that this is the cause of acceleration in crisis situations.could be a scenario in many unexplained acceleration accidents.

I have the moto metal 6 lugbones wheels on this truck and they are cracking just like the 8 lug wheels of this same type. Moto metal will not replace all of the wheels and they know they have a problem. They recalled the 8 lugs but will not recall the 6 lug. If its the same issue of breaking then what should it matter if they are 6 or 8 lug.
Driving about 15mph, when the right rear studs went through the axle,at same time & wheel flew off. Left rear studs (1) occurred 2/18/98. Others were loose. Driver noticed wheel after stopping vehicle. Aluminum wheel was toren up on driver's side. Have studs & nuts.
The front passenger 6 wheel lugs: nuts sheared off, causing the wheel to fall off, almost resulting in an accident.dealer cannot determine problem.
