My 1995 chevrolet blazer was in a head on collision with a 4 foot tall cement flower pot. My blazer was going approx. 25 miles per hour at impact and made contact with the flower pot directly in the center of the car. The damage included pushing the bumper, grill, and radiator back into the fan and also buckling the hood. The insurance company totaled my vehicle, estimating about $7800. Worth of damage. The airbag never deployed. I contacted chevrolet about this problem and they told me that they "in their opinion the airbag was not defective because the car did not come to an abrupt stop".my question is how would they know what happened if they never asked how much damage there was or looked at the car or even asked me to send them pictures of the car? i think they just couldn't even be bothered. If the driver hadn't been belted in, she surely would have hit the windshield.

We have had repeated problems with this vehicle from approximately 4000 and going forward.the first indication of problems with electrical was when the emergency flashers were used the first time and it blew the electrical system at approximately 4000 miles we had owned the blazer less than 6 months at this time.we have had service enginechecklight indicator problems repeatedly and was told every time but 1 that it was "nothing"and later we have problems that are conveniently not covered under the warranty any more. The soft plugs blew in the engine in 9-1999 and we were told by the garage that repaired this that he had seen this before ... The antifreeze used deteriorates the plugs and they eventually leak and the engine overheats.the gm dealer that we took the blazer to on this occasions fora second opinion 11-2000--this dealer had another 1995 blazer in the shop at the same time with the exact same problem.i thought this was odd for a town of 25,000 peopleand of course the 800 line to gm customer services advised me that it wan't anything that could be covered.we also had the leather seat replaced on driver side 2 times but continue to have problems with leather splitting and of course this is not covered.. All we are able to get from gm is the answer "no" whenever we feel that something should be covered...we have put over 2000 .00 in repairs in the engine and wipers and fuel injection system in the pastfrom 9-1999 thru 11 28 2000.... And the problems continues.. The service engine soon lifht comes on and the air bag light goes off and on and stay s on for long periods of time... And of course when i called last week on the air bag... Liteit was.

I have gas leak that come from the back of the car and that is when i get out of the blazer, and it seem to be wheel problem.
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.

Consumer has been experiencing problems withfreeze plugs.freeze plugs leak anti-freeze.the manufacturer has yet to be contacted.
The coolant line cracked, which caused coolant to leak.
5 egr vlaves replaced, one every year. The cooling sysyem has failed having to be replaced and flushed twice in the last thirteen months and is still making the same noise we have heard for the last year and a half. The fuel injectors have been replaced twice in the last fourteen months !the rotors have been resurfaced twice, replaced once and we still need to replace the pads every 8-12 months, regardless of milage. The extended warranty is up on this vehicle in one year. My question to chevrolet is who will incur these costs that both gm and the dealer admitted to being product problems !!!!
Gurgling noise detected behind center console of vehicle at approx 60k miles. Dealer did not find anything wrong. Now at 84k miles, dealer telling me that i need to replace heater core, radiator, and associated components due to defective coolant (dex-cool). This coolant was originally used by chevrolet in 95 and 96 blazers and is now known to break down and result in "mud-like" substance. Risk of over-heating is primary concern. I have found at least 10 other individuals on the internet with similar problems. This is not an isolated complaint. My main issue - chevy did not detect the problem early enough even though given opportunity and now i am faced with a potential safety hazard and $1200 repair. Also, their coolant is know to be defective as per my conversation with 2 of their representatives. As a consumer, i do not feel as if i should pay for chevy's mistakes. I am looking to your organization for help in investigating this problem.
Engine leaked antifreeze from 4 bad freeze plugs paid dealer $910 for repairs
Engine oil cooling line pipe came out ofcrimping.dealer has replacedengine.
Engine cooling system has corroded the radiator.dealer has inspected , vehicle and will flush the radiator.
The vehicle lost coolant beginning almost immediately after purchase and the freeze plug was replaced twice on 8/26/96 and 12/13/96.*mjs
One of the oil cooler hoses came off the crimp causing the vehicle to lose all oil and pressure. Vehicle shut down in the middle of a curve, causing owner to lose control of the vehicle (but luckily regain it).engine is a complete loss and will be costing us thousands of dollars to replace.this really seems to be a manufacturer issue, as the crimp method used for this high pressure (and highly important) hose is of a type that does not seem reliable.the shop that is holding our car, pending our decision on what we can do about this problem, has indicated they have had one or two other blazers in their shop in the last year with the same problem occurring - and that they noted at the time that the crimp method, without barbs to give extra grab to the hose - seems to be the contributing factor.i would really like to see chevrolet take responsibility for this manufacturing defect - if the hose had been attached in a reliable method, this problem would not have occurred.this is very dangerous.
Engine overheated due to corrosion getting into the coolant, and also a water pump leak. Vehicle has been repaired.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
There is an anti-freeze leak.also, freeze plugs on engine block had to be replaced, battery died out/vehicle wouldn't start, and egr valve had to be replaced.dealer says they can't find anything wrong.problems started with the egr valve. *ml
Failure of 100,000-mile "dex-cool" cooling system at 59,000 miles resulted in vehicle overheating. The "dex-cool" system failure has also resulted in massive electrolysis/rust within the cooling system.neither dealer nor gm wants to stand behind the 100,000-mile dex-cool system life expectancy.numerous gm certified technicians and service writers at other dealers have informed me that this is a common problem with the "dex-cool" system and is the result of an inferior product, and gm admits that there is a problem but refuses to address the issue.
Coolant holder failed, causing leakage
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 eachtransmission 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.
Freeze plugs were replaced at dealership at a cost of $757.74
Vehicle hesitates when merging. Fan clutch causes vehicle to hesitate & makes a lot of noise. Ongoing intermittent problem. Would periodically shift itself from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. Took to dealer & mechanic said knew about fan clutch,but unable to repair.
Oil lines failed,hence drained the engine of oil.ruined the engine,the engine has to be replaced.
The oil cooling line came out of the coupling & fell apart. This caused the engine to lock up.
Failed fuel pump replaced, fuel filter replaced, vehicle is still extremely difficult to start.egr failed causing rough running and stalling.spark plugs failed causing rough running and stalling.high pressure oil hose failed causing potential loss of engine oil.left door remote lock failed causing door to remain locked when remote unlock is attempted.crankshaft rear main seal was replaced under warranty but still leaks.
Oil lines are leaking heavy on the exhaust pipes which can result in a fire and cause loss of oil pressure.dealer has been contacted.gm denies responsibility for problem.
Oil cooler hose broke, oil light came on and engine seized up; engine replacement required.
Engine coolant line separated fromengine, resultingin loss of engine oil, causing the motor to seize.the dealer has replaced the motor at the owner's expense.manufacturer has been notified.however,new motor is currently leaking oil.
Engine blew due to oil cooling transfer lineleaking.
Eingine illuminated while driving due to an oil leak,causing the vehicleto stall and die. Afer inspectionofthe vehicleitwas determined thatthe oilcooler line wasdefective.
While traveling on the highway my engine check gauges" light came one. I looked at my gauges and my oil indicator was in the "red" zone. As i pulled over my engine siezed. At the garage and dealer it was dicovered that the "oil cooler hose" came off which caused all of my oil to release which caused my engine to seize.
Main oil cooler line came apart from coupling, casuingoilto leak out very quickly without warning.contacted dealer.
While driving oil cooling unit line failed and came apart which caused an oil leakage,resulting inengine locking up.consumer has contacteddealer.the first oil leak was repaired and did not damage the engine.the incident occured again and all the engine oil leakes out causing engine failure.
Oil cooling line came apart from coupling where the metal and rubber parts of the line are crimped together.resulting in engine needing to be replaced.
Oil lines blew out, pumping oil out onto the road, engine died as vehicle was pulling off to the shoulder of road. Had it towed to dealer. Vehicle wouldn't turn over. Engine siezed. Had to replace engine
Cooler hoses started to leakat 39,500 miles , 10 months later it had to be replaced again. 2 years and 3 months later, consumer was driving on highway when hoses pulled apart, causing oil to spill all over engine and it seized engine.the consumer believes the hoses were defective.the dealer wanted to replace the engine, but the consumer was unable to pay for the high cost of replaceing the engine.
Engine oil cooler seal & line broke, caused engine to lock upengine completely replaced.
Both oil cooler/filter lines had to replaced. Oil line from engine to oil filter leaked oil at 51395 miles. The other oil line, filter to radiator had complete failure lost 3.5 quarts of oil and by pure luck engine did not seized, no warning (leaks) before failure.mileage 70,000.
Oil hose assembly motor side; oil hose assembly from filter to radiator failure.
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."
Gurgling noise detected behind center console of vehicle at approx 60k miles. Dealer did not find anything wrong. Now at 84k miles, dealer telling me that i need to replace heater core, radiator, and associated components due to defective coolant (dex-cool). This coolant was originally used by chevrolet in 95 and 96 blazers and is now known to break down and result in "mud-like" substance. Risk of over-heating is primary concern. I have found at least 10 other individuals on the internet with similar problems. This is not an isolated complaint. My main issue - chevy did not detect the problem early enough even though given opportunity and now i am faced with a potential safety hazard and $1200 repair. Also, their coolant is know to be defective as per my conversation with 2 of their representatives. As a consumer, i do not feel as if i should pay for chevy's mistakes. I am looking to your organization for help in investigating this problem.

Oil line tooil filter has failed and been replaced on three occasions inless then one year.dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
We've gone through 4 egr valves now.every time we drive for extended highway miles, the valve sticks open causing the vehicle to run rough at low speeds.the vehicle, in a nearly stalled state, hesitates when i accelerate - making a merge into oncoming traffic very dangerous.our vehicle hasn't stalled yet but that's because we avoid driving the vehicle whenever this happens.tapping on the egr valve with a wrench unclogs the valve but it only sticks again the next time we go on the highway.we're afraid that vehicle may stall during an emergency breaking situation.

Intermittent stalling. *sd
While traveling about 65mph on highway and without prior warning engine froze up, and vehicle lost all power. Dealership is aware of the problem. Consumer was informed that the oil cooler lines had completely separated and the oil must have pump out of the engine onto the freeway, which in turn caused the engine to seize up
Soft plugs rusted out in vehicle. Antifreeze leaked out, andengine overheated. When consumer tookvehicle in for service, it took one week to fixproblem,butproblem still occurs.
Intermittent stalling.
I have owned this chevrolet blazer for 4 years.1995 was first year for the vortex engine. I had an expensive repair of the cfi unit in july, 99 and now again 16 months later, cfi unit needs to be replaced along with the catalytic converter. There is also an ongoing problem with the egr valve. Chevrolet sent out a notice about problem, and i had my car serviced last march. But, same part was just replaced with a new one. If the valve is sticking the design of the valve should be correced. Carbonbuilds up again in the valve and this will be an ongoing problem. I sent a complaint to chevrolet, but their letter back to me was a note to call the customer service. When i finally got through they said thanks for calling but nothing else. Overall, very disappointed with how this company is handling a problem that my mechanic says it is widespread. He has trouble getting the part since so many are needed!
Have had major engine problems since first year of ownership.had to replace battery 3 times (first time within first year), have been stranded because of a "no-start" problem 6 times since purchase, dealer and two other mechanics cannot find cause, brakes have a very poor performance and must be replaced frequently, fuel pump replaced, ignition replaced, now the engine has "blown" all on a vehicle that has been properly maintained and not abused.this is the most unreliable, costly, stress-cuasing vehicle i have ever owned and i would like chevrolet to take some responsibility for a very poorly built (lemon) car.
Noisy engine but vehicle doesn't move.
Vehicle stalls when coming to a stop, has stalled 5 times. Consumer received letter form chevrolet stating leg valve needs to be replaced. This has been done, but it did not remedy problem.the fuel injection assembly was replaced in june of 2002.*jg
After driving approx8 miles consumer noticed smoke coming from auto and pulled off the highway, opened the hood and there was a fire in the engine part.
This is a complaint relating to probable design deficiency as opposed to a component failure. When the fuel gauge is in the red zone, the engine will stall when the vehicle is stopping, turning or attempting to gouphill.this causes sudden and unexpected loss of steering control and braking power.nothing is wrong with the fuel pump or tank, other than the fuel is permitted by the poor design of the tank to flow away from the intake tube when the vehicle is slowing or turning or oriented such that the fuel is concentrated in the forward part of the tank. The engine will restart when the vehicle comes to rest and is on a level or downhill grade. Of course, keeping the tank less empty obviates the problem, but there should be no reason not to operate the vehicle when the gauge still registers the presence of fuel.
While driving the engine had broken down twice.please describe.
Abs braking problems. Ttconsumer experienced braking problems when go to apply brakes they will grab and there is some delay and lack of control this has happened on four different occasion in which two of the resulted in accidents, also rear windshield wiper was replaced, and rivets on the fan belt were replaced as part of a recall, also head rest has a split, and when engine is warm engine runs at 3000 rpm.
While driving 15-20 mph the vehicle lost all braking power without anyindication. Please provide further information.
Difficult with engine causing difficulty in starting, violent shaking, engine stalling which resulted in the "check engine" light coming on.
While drivingsuddenly vehicle will come to a dead stop without any kind of warning.vehicle has been in and out ofdealer's shop several times for this problem. The solutions to solve this problem has not been successfull.please provide any further details.
The engine loses power while driving.i almost hit the vehicle in front of me because i could not stop the car.the vacuum to the brakes is lost. The rpm changes rapidly and the engine sputters. I called chevrolet's customer service center and they had no knowledge of this problem for this make/model. I took the car to the dealership after just bringing in the repair for a recall notice for the abs brake system transfer case switch and vacuum switch repair and they hooked up a computer to the code reader slot and saw that there was problems with the egr valve.the technician gunned the engine a few to times claiming that he was clearing the valve of a piece of stuck carbon. It went away at the dealership but the problem showed up on the road 5 minutes later. They claim that they have seen this problem in numerous s10 chevrolet blazers and they recommend replacing the part. I claim that this is a danger to all 1995 s10 blazer owners and the part should be re-designed to prevent this from occurring if they have so many issues with it.the part by the way cost around $300~400 in the chicagoland area.
Frequently stalls.problem has not/cannot be fixed. Owner wants a replacement car.
Sudden engine compartment fire, left side rear.

Engine stalls while driving causing loss of steering and braking, the vehicle was towed to dealer but the found nothing wrong.nlm
This problem has occured twice on this vehicle and results in the complete loss of all engine oil and an immediate loss of power.each time it happens it is only by the grace of god my family and i narrowly escape a serious accident.i would imagine numberous people have had this problem probably resulting in engine freeze-up and more potential damage not to metion oil slicks on the roadways.
Vehicle stalls/engine quits running while driving and will not restart. Problem is intermittent. Dealers cannot correct problem.
When driving the truck andtrying to accelerate the truck just cuts off completely.the truck cuts offoccasionally without prior warning.
Driving approximately ten minutes, parked vehicle, suddenly it was engulfed in flames. Uncertain where fire originated from.
The nhtsa mandated that gm waranty the legr on 1995 blazers.when my blazer experienced this problem, i took it into the dealer to have the legr replaced.i was told they couldn't replace the parts under waranty because the nhtsa only mandated the warranty for cars with less than 75,000 miles.my blazer had the problem at 80,000 miles.the mileage dictation is ridiculous!this failure is a safety hazard at any mileage and should be repaired regardless!
Vehicle is leaking oil. Two hoses that bring oil tofilter and backwere leaking.contacted dealer,dealer knew it wasa problem with these vehicles leaking.
Fire. Insurance totalled car. No one, chevy or deal wants responsibility. Fire undetermined by fire dept.

Vehicle fire.
While driving vehicle about 45 mph; vehicle would suddenly die out or stall in traffic; would lose control of vehicle at times; took to dealer & was reprogrammed in 1/97; had egr valves replaced & fuel injector. Problem still exists.
The engine stutters which causes a loss in power brakes.also, egr valve needs to be replaced.
Was driving down hill,making a turn into a driveway the vehicle stalled.
The engine froze up,,found out it was because of the towing package cooling line i don;t know what that is
Initially replaced egr valve in 1998, have replaced it 4 additional times (by chevy dealer) within two years.build-up of carbon in the engine causing stalling, shaking and failure of engine in traffic.brakes tend to stick as well.erroneously charged for two fuel injectors that were not needed due to misdiagnosis of problem.car has sat for last 3 weeks while attempting to contact chevy customer service at hq, was given promises of refunds, call backs and have not heard from anyone.looked at this site and saw other owners with same problem, possible recall but we were not notified by the dealer or chevrolet.in addition both rear seat belts stopped working nearly two years ago where our young son often sits.seeking possible legal action for reimbursement, replacement of vehicle or final repair of defects.
Driving 60mph when vehicle stalled out or died. Had to take to dealer & mechanic replaced fuel pump. Problem had reoccurred since 3/6/98 when pump was replaced. Also, steering wheel would lock up. Problem happened after fuel pump was replaced.
Under normal driving conditions vehicle just stalls. Cause unknown.the vehicle was at the dealer several times but solution could not be found.
Car has stalled in traffic 4 times, including on a highway during rush hour. Dealer cannot determine cause.
Engine shuts down intermittently, cause unknown.
While driving, egr valve sticks causing loss of control of vehicle, the vehicle vibrates and nearly shuts completely down. Dealer has been contacted.
Vehicle will stall when braking hard if fuel tank has less than 1/4 tank of gas. Originally reported to dealer while vehicle still under warranty, dealer said this was 'normal' for this vehicle. The dealer explained that when the fuel tank is low it is possible for the fuel pump to go 'dry' under certain braking conditions causing the engine to be starved of fuel thereby stalling the engine. To date vehicle has stalled a total of five times under these circumstances, i do not feel that it is 'normal' for a vehicle to stall when there is fuel left in the tank. The incident reported here almost caused an accident, i was braking and making a right turn at the time, when the engine stalled i lost power steering and power brakes, this made the vehicle almost impossible to control in the turn. Fortunately the vehicle behind me was able to maneuver around my stalled vehicle.
You have numerous complaints on the 1995 chevrolet blazer...then why doesnt something be done about this vehicle....?i have been stranded 4 times with my children in the car....3 for the egr valve.. And now it just cranks and wont start....i have had this car for 14 months and this first started in june 1999 3 months after purchasing this car......look at all the complaints......a mechanic stated the egr valve is at a 45degree angle and should be at 90 degree angle so it does not clog.....i am in the process of filing a lawsuit against chevrolet on this vehicle and everyone else should do the same.......it is just an overpriced piece of crap........1 that you cannot count on taking you to town... Which is bad......

Egr valve & oxygen sensors problemthe 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.
Advised by mechanic that catalytic converter needs replacement, may fail while driving.vehicle would lose power or just stall out on highway.

Egr valve failed.nlm
The speed control module turned on by itself, and the throttle opened wide.pressing down on the brake did not release the speed control.i was forced to throw the car into neutral (which red-lined the motor at about 4,500 rpm) and shut it off.only on the third restart of the motor did the module release.i was traveling at about 50 mph, and began to accelerate to go up a small hill.the cruise control was not on when this problem occured.the other problem concerns the egr valve.in late 1999, i took the car to a local chevrolet dealer because it was running rough.they analyzed it as a stuck egr valve, and cleaned it.two months later, i get a letter from chevrolet (not a recall notice) stating that my car may have an egr problem.i had to take the car back a few months later, and asked for a new valve to be installed.they refused, as they said they could not be reimbursed by gm anymore.since that time, the same problem has manifested itself 4 times, and each time, the dealer maintains it isn't the egr valve.i believe that this is pure deception on the part of the dealer, and the ntsa should force gm to replace the egr valves asap.the car wants to die in traffic when this problem appears, which is sporadic and unpredicatable.
Egr valve needs to be replaced for the third time.seems like this is becoming regular maintenance. *la
This is a followup toa previously reported problem.the service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle sincethe 40k range .the egr valve,an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in november,1998 at 78000 miles duringtwo separate service visits . The vehicle again experience identical problems in april 1999 at 84000 miles which include rough running and stalling at slow speeds and the service engine light again coming during the rough running periods.the veihcle was returned to the dealer who first replaced the sensor-ox(part #102) this did not correct the problem and 3 days lattera new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. Due to these repeatedproblems i feel it is dangerous to drivethis vehicle since you never know when the problem will reoccur and the vecle will again stall and run rough, making it an adventure when you are slowing or attempting to merge in traffic.

Egr valve & oxygen sensors problemthe 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.

Egr valve is failing ,and causingvehicle to run rough.they have cleaned it, but problem is still there.
I received a recall notice from chevrolet motors division and it said that they would repair the egr valve at no charge as long as the vehicle had less than 75,000 miles on it.the faulty egr valve causes the engine to run rough, idle poorly and possibly quit running altogether.we now have over 75, 000 miles on the vehicle and we have contacted chevrolet co. And they said that they will not take care of the problen even though they admit that the egr valve is faulty.this is really a safety issue because when the egr valve sticks, the vehicle brakes donot work and neither does the steering! a rough or poor idle will cause a decrease in vacuum and this causes the brakes not to function. Steering is also affected because when the engine does not run, the power steering belt does not move, therfore we lose power steering. My wife has had numerous problems with this and our dealer, and chevrolet motors division admit that the egr valve is at fault.we have had a lot of trouble with this and most of it occurred before the vehicle had 75,000 miles on it.we feel that if chevrolet can replace them in vehicles with less that 75,000 miles on them, they should replace them on vehicles with more than 75,000 on them also since they admit that the valves are faulty.
Engine check light came on. When taken in for the service, the mechanic stated that the egr valve was stuck.the valve was takenout, cleaned and replaced at owner's expense. A week later the light was on back again. The problem has not been corrected. The manufacturer is not willing to replaced the egr valve because the blazer is out of the warranty.

I had the egr valve replaced because there was problems with my vehicle running terrible and killing in traffic. It was replaced free because there was a bulletin, i really wonder if it was replaced on 10/01 because almost 1 year later 9/02 i started having the same problems again and it cost me $272 to have it fixed and once again as of 10/11/05computer diagnostic reveals that the egr is sticking again and it's going to cost $375,could i have possible gotten a defective egr on 10/01. Also, i have had this problem with my blazer shortly after i purchased it . When driving on uneven surface it sounds as if something is cracking and trying to fall to pieces in the front and the steering is loose and pulls to one side, even after a front end alignment and rotation and balance, the problem is not corrected.iactually had 1 ofmany front end alignment and rotation done on 10/07/05 and my front end problem has gotten much,much worse than usually. I am almost scared to drive it.

I have owned this chevrolet blazer for 4 years.1995 was first year for the vortex engine. I had an expensive repair of the cfi unit in july, 99 and now again 16 months later, cfi unit needs to be replaced along with the catalytic converter. There is also an ongoing problem with the egr valve. Chevrolet sent out a notice about problem, and i had my car serviced last march. But, same part was just replaced with a new one. If the valve is sticking the design of the valve should be correced. Carbonbuilds up again in the valve and this will be an ongoing problem. I sent a complaint to chevrolet, but their letter back to me was a note to call the customer service. When i finally got through they said thanks for calling but nothing else. Overall, very disappointed with how this company is handling a problem that my mechanic says it is widespread. He has trouble getting the part since so many are needed!

Egr valve replaced. Cost over $400. Chevy only recalled 96 or newer and there has been over 60 complaints logged about this. When is there going to be a recall on the egr valve. I now need to replace it again. I have also complained to chevy regarding my brakes. I have had to replace my brakes every 6 months since i bought my car. The dealer told me brakes are not covered under warranty, that it is normal wear and tear of the vehicle. I have also been having problems with the fuel injection system. Other year vehicle have recalled these problems but not for the 1995 blazer.

This is a followup toa previously reported problem.the service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle sincethe 40k range .the egr valve,an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in november,1998 at 78000 miles duringtwo separate service visits . The vehicle again experience identical problems in april 1999 at 84000 miles which include rough running and stalling at slow speeds and the service engine light again coming during the rough running periods.the veihcle was returned to the dealer who first replaced the sensor-ox(part #102) this did not correct the problem and 3 days lattera new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. Due to these repeatedproblems i feel it is dangerous to drivethis vehicle since you never know when the problem will reoccur and the vecle will again stall and run rough, making it an adventure when you are slowing or attempting to merge in traffic.

Central port fuel injection unit burned out which caused fuel to leak within my engine. The problem also caused various hoses to become defective. This was a dangerous situation since leaking fuel could have sparked a fire. Understand from the a car mechanic this is the first time a vortex engine was used which could have contributed to the problem. I contacted chevy via internet on july 8th but they were unconcerned. I feel a recall should happen with this problem, especially when i hear about the other owners of 1995 blazers that have the same problem.

5 egr vlaves replaced, one every year. The cooling sysyem has failed having to be replaced and flushed twice in the last thirteen months and is still making the same noise we have heard for the last year and a half. The fuel injectors have been replaced twice in the last fourteen months !the rotors have been resurfaced twice, replaced once and we still need to replace the pads every 8-12 months, regardless of milage. The extended warranty is up on this vehicle in one year. My question to chevrolet is who will incur these costs that both gm and the dealer admitted to being product problems !!!!
We have had repeated problems with this vehicle from approximately 4000 and going forward.the first indication of problems with electrical was when the emergency flashers were used the first time and it blew the electrical system at approximately 4000 miles we had owned the blazer less than 6 months at this time.we have had service enginechecklight indicator problems repeatedly and was told every time but 1 that it was "nothing"and later we have problems that are conveniently not covered under the warranty any more. The soft plugs blew in the engine in 9-1999 and we were told by the garage that repaired this that he had seen this before ... The antifreeze used deteriorates the plugs and they eventually leak and the engine overheats.the gm dealer that we took the blazer to on this occasions fora second opinion 11-2000--this dealer had another 1995 blazer in the shop at the same time with the exact same problem.i thought this was odd for a town of 25,000 peopleand of course the 800 line to gm customer services advised me that it wan't anything that could be covered.we also had the leather seat replaced on driver side 2 times but continue to have problems with leather splitting and of course this is not covered.. All we are able to get from gm is the answer "no" whenever we feel that something should be covered...we have put over 2000 .00 in repairs in the engine and wipers and fuel injection system in the pastfrom 9-1999 thru 11 28 2000.... And the problems continues.. The service engine soon lifht comes on and the air bag light goes off and on and stay s on for long periods of time... And of course when i called last week on the air bag... Liteit was.

Transmission failed due to dipstick tube being too close to a/c evaporator core which causes condensation inside dipstick tube.this in turn caused rust inside the transmission causing my transmission to go out.we had to have transmission rebuilt which was very expensive!!mechanic said he sees a lot of blazer come in with transmission failure due to the same problem i had.i think something needs to be done about this.why should i have to pay for something when the problem is due to poor design?!?i've seen several new commercials for chevrolet say "we'll be there"well i think you should do something about this problem!!it cost me a good bit of money to correct the mistake chevrolet made.something needs to be done.
Transmission slips-engine revs freely (like in neutral) no acceleration-taken to dealer numerous times to no availability.
Will not shift out of gear at times it works fine .ttconsumer states this happened only when the motor was hot or when it was hot outside, new transmission, still does have trouble shifting out of gear, but not as bad as the old one.
When auto is parked on an incline it jumps out of park and rolls down hill.tt
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
Transmission sticks in first gear.
Transmission will slip out of gear causing engine to freely rev with no acceleration.taken to 3 dealers and 1 independent shop with no one able to determine what is wrong.vehicle is only able to hold 2nd gear up to 30 mphbefore it slips out ,causing the speedometer to drop to 10 and the abs light to activate
Transfer motor failed then the transfer case seal between the transmission failed with no warning or noise. Fluid level in the transmission dropped to below the dipstick and damage occured to the transmission and transfer case. Drivers sealt belt does not fully retract when released causing it to oftenget caught in the door. Over the past few years the belt shows tears from getting caught in the door. Belt will only fully retract if you mannually assist it.
Vehicle hesitates when merging. Fan clutch causes vehicle to hesitate & makes a lot of noise. Ongoing intermittent problem. Would periodically shift itself from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. Took to dealer & mechanic said knew about fan clutch,but unable to repair.
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 recall on the abs brakes and a few other things, yet i have never been notified by gmc for any of the recalls listed here. The only thing i ever received was a recall on the back seat belt which i don't even see listed here. I have found that when ever something goes wrong with my car that it is never a simple thing to fix, it is always a major thing.i think that gmc really needs to take more time in effort to test there vehicles. There's alot of the same complaints on this site alone.
Rusty transmission fluid level indicator/oil filler tube as per chevrolet service bulletin id #594999. Chevrolet will not replace even tho'it is a latent defect. Why? transmission failure could occur at any time.

The engine loses power while driving.i almost hit the vehicle in front of me because i could not stop the car.the vacuum to the brakes is lost. The rpm changes rapidly and the engine sputters. I called chevrolet's customer service center and they had no knowledge of this problem for this make/model. I took the car to the dealership after just bringing in the repair for a recall notice for the abs brake system transfer case switch and vacuum switch repair and they hooked up a computer to the code reader slot and saw that there was problems with the egr valve.the technician gunned the engine a few to times claiming that he was clearing the valve of a piece of stuck carbon. It went away at the dealership but the problem showed up on the road 5 minutes later. They claim that they have seen this problem in numerous s10 chevrolet blazers and they recommend replacing the part. I claim that this is a danger to all 1995 s10 blazer owners and the part should be re-designed to prevent this from occurring if they have so many issues with it.the part by the way cost around $300~400 in the chicagoland area.

Brake linings had to be replaced at 30,000 miles and just about every 30,000 miles after that.the rear end went out at about 72,000 miles and had to be replaced at a cost of about $1800.we were on a trip from kentucky to alabama on june 23,2000, and the power brake booster went out.we were forced to travel with brakes that sounded like there was a horrible air leak every time you applied them, and the pedal went to the floor.the abs light had come on in june, 1999, but we had recently paid $1800 for replacement of the rear end, and were told that our regular brakes would do fine, so we waited.when we heard that a recall had been called on that abs system we called the dealer numerous times, but they always said that they hadn't received any information from gm about it yet.we finally got a recall notice in the mail about 2 weeks ago, almost a year after it was announced.when the rear end went out, we had been hearing a strange rumbling noise that got progressively louder.we took the car to severral local mechanics, but they couldn't find anything wrong.after a few weeks we took it to the dealer and they had to replace the whole rear end.now it is beginning to make the same sound, and they will check that tomorrow.they took my car today to check the brakes and said that the power brake booster was bad and the master cylinder was bad.that alone will cost over $700.they said that the whole abs module was bad, and if we want that fixed it will be about $1000 dollars more.if they decide that the rear end is bad again, that will add another $1800 dollars again, i guess.this vehicle has been driven mainly by me and my husband (51 & 52 yrs old)-- around town and on the highway to visit our kids and pick up grandkids.it has not been misused, and has had all maintenance work done.

I have reported this vehicle in the past to chevrolet and nhtsa. Several problems with the braking system, abs are the major complaints and also the power locking system for the doors. After an accident in december 1997, due to faulty brakes and abs not stopping the vehicle the dealer said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Then he made repairs to the braking system where the dealer said he replaced the rotors and the brakes in january of 1998. Even after he made these repairs the brakes and the abs was still not working i returned to the dealer and he said there still was nothing wrong until it happened when i had the repair manager in the truck with me. Mr. Wallace of warnock chevrolet of morristown new jersey siad then that he was 110 percent sure there was something wrong. This is after the fact of the many attempts prior to trying to get them to fix this problem before the accident of december 1997 occurred. In july of 1998 after several months of having problems i went to another dealer who told me that the same repairs had to be done. He also said i needed a tune up, which i only had in may of 1997 by warnock. This truck has had numerous complaints on the the abs and the braking system, and power door locks not operating correctly. I think it is about time the government did something before someone gets killed. I also believe warnock chevrolet is a disreputable dealership. I demand an investigation.work on this vehicle for the brakes has occurred 3 times in its vehicle history.

Abs failure. All three abs isolation valves closed either at start of breaking or prior to braking cycle, resulting in no possible depression of the brake petal and absolutely no braking what so ever, literally none. The vehicle continues at whatever speed the vehicle was at before initiation of braking. This no brake condition happened intermittently as speeds from 15mph to highway speeds. Upon releasing break pressure (taking one's foot of the petal) and reapplying the breaks the left front abs isolation valve would de-energize and give the driver the left front break only. This failure was intermittent over the last year and notwitnessed by me until 1/13/2018. The abs fuse was removed and the brakes remain without abs function. This is a major failure that could have caused a deadly accident and most probably has. But, since it is intermittent and dead people can't testify you probably do not have much of a data base. Also, as an engineer myself, this is a catastrophic failure that should precipitate the complete deactivation of automated functions of all vehicles worldwide until such time as all automated functions can be overridden by manual inputs without failure to comply with manual inputs.
Possible poor material and design flaws may be the cause of continued brake problems that can not be rectified.nlm
While braking at a red traffic signal a small bump in the road caused the abs system to activate causing the vehicle not to slow down.more pressure was put on the brake pedal with no response, if another vehicle was in front a collision would have occured.

Problem is with braking system.intermittent brake failure which has turned in to be a major safety issue.gm is not cooperating stating they have no idea what the problem is, accept that they have been able to duplicate the problem.they failed to have a sensor on the vehicle when duplicated and told us there is nothing that they can do.we have been without use of the vehicle for two months since it is unsafe to drive.we've been advised to wait for a potential recall but have not been told when that might be.in the mean time gm is being highly uncooperative and fail to acknowledge any pending recall.i have researched this and have found that they are facing a potential 3.5 million vehicle recall for my vehicle's specific problem. Can you please give me any advise on this?

I have been plagued with constant brake problems on my '95 blazer. It has been in the shop since i purchased it over 10 times for the brakes alone. I recently heard about the brake recall warning issued by you (nhtsa) and immediately called ed morse chevrolet and spoke with a service manager. He advised me your report was false and you are re-issuing a statement to the contrary. He told me the warning had "nothing to do with my particular blazer" and that i would not be included in any recall or warning presently. My brakes have been a nightmare for me, i am afraid of braking system, but have no choice but to drive the vehicle. I had my attorney write a letter to ed morse, to no avail.i finally went to an outside mechanic who attempts to keep me safe by regularly checking my braking system. What i would like to know is am i included in this recall alert 99v193000 or nhtsa campaign number 991006000? any help that you can give me will be so appreciated. Thank you..francesca bealert

Background: purchased used blazer approx 2 years ago. "anti-lock brakes" dash light has always been on.i am good diy and very experienced mechanic with appropriate tools.i have tried off and on since i purchased the vehicle to solve this issue.i even have replaced all brakes and master cylinder.problem: i came upon safecar.gov last night and found several recall notices on my type of vehicle, to include anti-lock brakes.i called the chevy customer service number for recalls and explained the above paragraph.after i stated i found the recalls on safecar.gov and wanted to check if my specific vehicle had any outstanding recalls, i was promptly told that safecar.gov is not an authorized or approved chevy website.it was inferred to me by the operator by her tone (though very polite) and language that safecar.gov is some rogue website that should be paid no mind.this had me concerned because obviously safecar.gov is a nhtsa website and i am sure the recalls listed are accurate.the operator then looked up my vin and stated there were no outstanding recalls on my vehicle.this truck me as odd because the recalls on brakes i found described how my vehicle reacts with the braking system.i am not trying to get something for nothing.if there were/are really no recalls on my vehicle.than so be it, no problem.however, with the way safecar.gov was brushed aside by the operator, it makes me wonder if in fact there were recalls and chevy is just trying to save from repairing older model vehicles that were not brought in by previous owners.thank you.

Consumer stated that while driving and without warning, the egr valve failed, which caused the brakes to fail. Dealer notified.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.

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.

Brake linings had to be replaced at 30,000 miles and just about every 30,000 miles after that.the rear end went out at about 72,000 miles and had to be replaced at a cost of about $1800.we were on a trip from kentucky to alabama on june 23,2000, and the power brake booster went out.we were forced to travel with brakes that sounded like there was a horrible air leak every time you applied them, and the pedal went to the floor.the abs light had come on in june, 1999, but we had recently paid $1800 for replacement of the rear end, and were told that our regular brakes would do fine, so we waited.when we heard that a recall had been called on that abs system we called the dealer numerous times, but they always said that they hadn't received any information from gm about it yet.we finally got a recall notice in the mail about 2 weeks ago, almost a year after it was announced.when the rear end went out, we had been hearing a strange rumbling noise that got progressively louder.we took the car to severral local mechanics, but they couldn't find anything wrong.after a few weeks we took it to the dealer and they had to replace the whole rear end.now it is beginning to make the same sound, and they will check that tomorrow.they took my car today to check the brakes and said that the power brake booster was bad and the master cylinder was bad.that alone will cost over $700.they said that the whole abs module was bad, and if we want that fixed it will be about $1000 dollars more.if they decide that the rear end is bad again, that will add another $1800 dollars again, i guess.this vehicle has been driven mainly by me and my husband (51 & 52 yrs old)-- around town and on the highway to visit our kids and pick up grandkids.it has not been misused, and has had all maintenance work done.
I have reported this vehicle in the past to chevrolet and nhtsa. Several problems with the braking system, abs are the major complaints and also the power locking system for the doors. After an accident in december 1997, due to faulty brakes and abs not stopping the vehicle the dealer said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Then he made repairs to the braking system where the dealer said he replaced the rotors and the brakes in january of 1998. Even after he made these repairs the brakes and the abs was still not working i returned to the dealer and he said there still was nothing wrong until it happened when i had the repair manager in the truck with me. Mr. Wallace of warnock chevrolet of morristown new jersey siad then that he was 110 percent sure there was something wrong. This is after the fact of the many attempts prior to trying to get them to fix this problem before the accident of december 1997 occurred. In july of 1998 after several months of having problems i went to another dealer who told me that the same repairs had to be done. He also said i needed a tune up, which i only had in may of 1997 by warnock. This truck has had numerous complaints on the the abs and the braking system, and power door locks not operating correctly. I think it is about time the government did something before someone gets killed. I also believe warnock chevrolet is a disreputable dealership. I demand an investigation.work on this vehicle for the brakes has occurred 3 times in its vehicle history.

#1 - failure of antilock brakes to stop car.this has occurred on multiple occasions and under a variety of conditions and speeds.most frequent at low speeds and on wet roads.when i step on the brakes they make a clicking or chattering noise the car slows as if to stop then lurches forward another 5-8 feet.i have complained to the dealer i purchased it but they were never able to duplicate the problem. No mention of the ongoing investigation. Blazers and jimmy's are also subject to excessive front brake wear.after replacing my front brakes 4 times and contacting dealershipsi was told to expect to replace my front brakes every 12-18,000 miles.when i questioned this approach they said the brakes were changed in 1997 to address the problem. Questionl: could excessive front brake wear be linked to the abs problem.if brakes think car is in 4 wheel drive wouldn't they apply more pressure to stop than if in 2-wheel drive.another possible link is the excessive brake dust which accumulates on the front tire covers.never seen this on any other model. I certainly hope that your investigation into the abs problems can be extended to evaluate the entire braking system in these cars.when i called chev. Customer service to ask when the abs recalls would begin they claimed that they didn't know and that it really wasn't an official recall yet.#2 - coolant mixed with transmission fluid in area of radiator, caused transmission fluid to be dumped, major damage to transmission & radiator.dealer covered because they have "seen this problem before".isn't this worthly of a recall?how many people have paid for major repairs caused by this defect.how long can i trust my transmission which was repaired not replaced? can this happen again?

I took the car to the dealership after just bringing in the repair for a recall notice for the abs brake system transfer case switch and vacuum switch repair and they hooked up a computer to the code reader slot and saw that there was problems with the egr valve.the technician gunned the engine a few to times claiming that he was clearing the valve of a piece of stuck carbon. It went away at the dealership but the problem showed up on the road 5 minutes later. They claim that they have seen this problem in numerous s10 chevrolet blazers and they recommend replacing the part. I claim that this is a danger to all 1995 s10 blazer owners and the part should be re-designed to prevent this from occurring if they have so many issues with it.the part by the way cost around $300~400 in the chicagoland area.

Vehicle will stall when braking hard if fuel tank has less than 1/4 tank of gas. Originally reported to dealer while vehicle still under warranty, dealer said this was 'normal' for this vehicle. The dealer explained that when the fuel tank is low it is possible for the fuel pump to go 'dry' under certain braking conditions causing the engine to be starved of fuel thereby stalling the engine. To date vehicle has stalled a total of five times under these circumstances, i do not feel that it is 'normal' for a vehicle to stall when there is fuel left in the tank. The incident reported here almost caused an accident, i was braking and making a right turn at the time, when the engine stalled i lost power steering and power brakes, this made the vehicle almost impossible to control in the turn. Fortunately the vehicle behind me was able to maneuver around my stalled vehicle.

I have had extreme braking problems that are still not fixed. Under normal city driving conditions, brakes are very slow to stop regardless of how much pressure i put on them and occasionally lock up. I must release the brake pedal and pump it to catch so the car will come to a stop. 2 months ago, a woman stopped at the last minute in front of me. I hit my brakes with more than enough room to stop (2-3 car lengths). They locked up and made their normal grinding noise. I hit her car causing damage to both vehicles. Last month, while trying to slow down to pay at a toll booth, i had to literally stand on my brake pedal to stop the truck. The toll booth attendant jumped out of the booth in fear that i was going to crash. The same thing happens coming off the highway at 45 miles per hour. I can't get another vehicle, but this one is going to kill my children and i.i have replaced the booster, pads twice, rotors, and the thing attached to the booster. Have i missed a recall? help me!!

I have been plagued with constant brake problems on my '95 blazer. It has been in the shop since i purchased it over 10 times for the brakes alone. I recently heard about the brake recall warning issued by you (nhtsa) and immediately called ed morse chevrolet and spoke with a service manager. He advised me your report was false and you are re-issuing a statement to the contrary. He told me the warning had "nothing to do with my particular blazer" and that i would not be included in any recall or warning presently. My brakes have been a nightmare for me, i am afraid of braking system, but have no choice but to drive the vehicle. I had my attorney write a letter to ed morse, to no avail.i finally went to an outside mechanic who attempts to keep me safe by regularly checking my braking system. What i would like to know is am i included in this recall alert 99v193000 or nhtsa campaign number 991006000? any help that you can give me will be so appreciated. Thank you..francesca bealert

I have reported this vehicle in the past to chevrolet and nhtsa. Several problems with the braking system, abs are the major complaints and also the power locking system for the doors. After an accident in december 1997, due to faulty brakes and abs not stopping the vehicle the dealer said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Then he made repairs to the braking system where the dealer said he replaced the rotors and the brakes in january of 1998. Even after he made these repairs the brakes and the abs was still not working i returned to the dealer and he said there still was nothing wrong until it happened when i had the repair manager in the truck with me. Mr. Wallace of warnock chevrolet of morristown new jersey siad then that he was 110 percent sure there was something wrong. This is after the fact of the many attempts prior to trying to get them to fix this problem before the accident of december 1997 occurred. In july of 1998 after several months of having problems i went to another dealer who told me that the same repairs had to be done. He also said i needed a tune up, which i only had in may of 1997 by warnock. This truck has had numerous complaints on the the abs and the braking system, and power door locks not operating correctly. I think it is about time the government did something before someone gets killed. I also believe warnock chevrolet is a disreputable dealership. I demand an investigation.work on this vehicle for the brakes has occurred 3 times in its vehicle history.

Brake linings had to be replaced at 30,000 miles and just about every 30,000 miles after that.the rear end went out at about 72,000 miles and had to be replaced at a cost of about $1800.we were on a trip from kentucky to alabama on june 23,2000, and the power brake booster went out.we were forced to travel with brakes that sounded like there was a horrible air leak every time you applied them, and the pedal went to the floor.the abs light had come on in june, 1999, but we had recently paid $1800 for replacement of the rear end, and were told that our regular brakes would do fine, so we waited.when we heard that a recall had been called on that abs system we called the dealer numerous times, but they always said that they hadn't received any information from gm about it yet.we finally got a recall notice in the mail about 2 weeks ago, almost a year after it was announced.when the rear end went out, we had been hearing a strange rumbling noise that got progressively louder.we took the car to severral local mechanics, but they couldn't find anything wrong.after a few weeks we took it to the dealer and they had to replace the whole rear end.now it is beginning to make the same sound, and they will check that tomorrow.they took my car today to check the brakes and said that the power brake booster was bad and the master cylinder was bad.that alone will cost over $700.they said that the whole abs module was bad, and if we want that fixed it will be about $1000 dollars more.if they decide that the rear end is bad again, that will add another $1800 dollars again, i guess.this vehicle has been driven mainly by me and my husband (51 & 52 yrs old)-- around town and on the highway to visit our kids and pick up grandkids.it has not been misused, and has had all maintenance work done.
Driving at approximately 20-25 mph, preparing to stop brakes were inoperative.vehicleeventually stopped at about 100 feet or less.dealer changed brake lines,claims that rotors and linings were glazed.this defect could result in an accident.
Owner has abs brakes,states that brake shoes have worn down on the outside right with only 15,000 miles,dealers don't know what the cause is.
The vehicle has a hard time stopping. Several times it did not stop at all!!i've taken the vehicle back to autonation to repair the brakes and each time they told me nothing was wrong.so i had the vehicle inspected by two other repair centers .the two centers told me that my back left brake is leaking fluid which is causing the problems.they also found incomplete service to the front brakes.
Brake line between frame & body, located in front of tire which leads to the rear brakes, rubs against the body, allowingfluid to leak and leaving vehicle without brakes. Can nhtsa help in this matter or provide additional information.
I have been plagued with constant brake problems on my '95 blazer. It has been in the shop since i purchased it over 10 times for the brakes alone. I recently heard about the brake recall warning issued by you (nhtsa) and immediately called ed morse chevrolet and spoke with a service manager. He advised me your report was false and you are re-issuing a statement to the contrary. He told me the warning had "nothing to do with my particular blazer" and that i would not be included in any recall or warning presently. My brakes have been a nightmare for me, i am afraid of braking system, but have no choice but to drive the vehicle. I had my attorney write a letter to ed morse, to no avail.i finally went to an outside mechanic who attempts to keep me safe by regularly checking my braking system. What i would like to know is am i included in this recall alert 99v193000 or nhtsa campaign number 991006000? any help that you can give me will be so appreciated. Thank you..francesca bealert

Brake master cylinder failure, excessive brake pedal travel, vehicle is equipped with abs brakes.tt
Master cylinder failed. *sd
While applying brakes at 30 mph, vehicle slowed down but did not come to a complete stop. Driver had to run onto a curb to prevent it from hitting another vehicle.vehicle taken to a dealer shop, and dealerinformed consumer thatmaster cylinder needed to be replaced. Consumer would like to know if it was normal formaster cylinder to fail at less then 23,000 miles of wear.consumer is requesting reimbursement.
While driving 15 mph and applying brakespedal went to the floor, resulting in complete brake failure. Dealer replacedbrake master cylinder.
Some leakage as seen on pavement..checked with two service stations after brakes went to floor at stoplight. They can't replicate, what could be problem. Master cylinder? leakage is not steady. Pumped brakes back to functioning. Brakes replaced about six months ago. High heat? drive 18 miles to work. I would like to know what is problem before i have accident. What is suggested? thanks.
Abs brake system failed, resulting in complete brake loss, almost had a fatal accident, replaced master cylinder.tt
Going down an incline at 30 mph when the brakes were applied and the brakes went to the back of the floor because the master cylinder had broken, causing a collision with a concrete curb.please describe details.
The brake pedal pivot bolt was started in the weld nut, but was not torqued correctly causing the bolt to disengage from the weld nut. However, this is a recall. The recall # is 94v242000. Please provide any further information. Also, please provide correct date of incident.
Consumer states while driving at low speeds as to coming to a stop, the brakes have very poor performance and pedal pressure is excessive.there are 2 recalls (94v242000 and 99i006000) relating to these conditions, however, vehicle was not part of recall.consumer replaced brake pads, but problem still exist.
Brake cable need to be lubed and repositioned.

The engine loses power while driving.i almost hit the vehicle in front of me because i could not stop the car.the vacuum to the brakes is lost. The rpm changes rapidly and the engine sputters. I called chevrolet's customer service center and they had no knowledge of this problem for this make/model. I took the car to the dealership after just bringing in the repair for a recall notice for the abs brake system transfer case switch and vacuum switch repair and they hooked up a computer to the code reader slot and saw that there was problems with the egr valve.the technician gunned the engine a few to times claiming that he was clearing the valve of a piece of stuck carbon. It went away at the dealership but the problem showed up on the road 5 minutes later. They claim that they have seen this problem in numerous s10 chevrolet blazers and they recommend replacing the part. I claim that this is a danger to all 1995 s10 blazer owners and the part should be re-designed to prevent this from occurring if they have so many issues with it.the part by the way cost around $300~400 in the chicagoland area.

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 experienced the brake pedal inexplicably going to the floor; and that the alternator of these vehicles goes out before 40,000 kilometers.my theory of the accident:a dangerous and unstable vehicle encounters all of the necessary elements: water on the pavement, and small curve, and a speed that the vehicle does not tolerate, precisely because of the vehicle's instability.
Engine check light came on. When taken in for the service, the mechanic stated that the egr valve was stuck.the valve was takenout, cleaned and replaced at owner's expense. A week later the light was on back again. The problem has not been corrected. The manufacturer is not willing to replaced the egr valve because the blazer is out of the warranty.
Check engine light keeps coming on. Vehicle would shut off when coming to a stop. Also,brakes would fail when applied & would not stop vehicle.
While traveling on the highway my engine check gauges" light came one. I looked at my gauges and my oil indicator was in the "red" zone. As i pulled over my engine siezed. At the garage and dealer it was dicovered that the "oil cooler hose" came off which caused all of my oil to release which caused my engine to seize.
Had major dangerous problems since purchased new/ will not repair wiper blades very dangerous and want repair brakes said i had to have a letter from factory ive been caught in the rain and almost killed brake failure has almost killed me ther is alot more of problems i had with the vehicle while it was under warranty i paid for 2 of the egr problems and 2 of the batterties and brake job and a 3178.00 motor etc etc etc.
Consumer noticed that engine check light comes on for approximately 5minutes at a time whenever driving more than 30minutes. The light would come on and stay for approximately15 seconds four to five times. Consumer has an appointment with dealership on 4-22-99, to have vehicle put on diagnostics machine for testing.
Owner has had vehicle for 2 yrs and the following items have been replaced: spark plub wire, 2 spark plugs, 3 oxygen sensors, egr valve, controller, pcm/vcm, front rotors, all new brakes, universal joint, fuel injector, abs computer, 4 new tires, new battery, and new starter.vehicle has also had 3 recall notices.
We have had repeated problems with this vehicle from approximately 4000 and going forward.the first indication of problems with electrical was when the emergency flashers were used the first time and it blew the electrical system at approximately 4000 miles we had owned the blazer less than 6 months at this time.we have had service enginechecklight indicator problems repeatedly and was told every time but 1 that it was "nothing"and later we have problems that are conveniently not covered under the warranty any more. The soft plugs blew in the engine in 9-1999 and we were told by the garage that repaired this that he had seen this before ... The antifreeze used deteriorates the plugs and they eventually leak and the engine overheats.the gm dealer that we took the blazer to on this occasions fora second opinion 11-2000--this dealer had another 1995 blazer in the shop at the same time with the exact same problem.i thought this was odd for a town of 25,000 peopleand of course the 800 line to gm customer services advised me that it wan't anything that could be covered.we also had the leather seat replaced on driver side 2 times but continue to have problems with leather splitting and of course this is not covered.. All we are able to get from gm is the answer "no" whenever we feel that something should be covered...we have put over 2000 .00 in repairs in the engine and wipers and fuel injection system in the pastfrom 9-1999 thru 11 28 2000.... And the problems continues.. The service engine soon lifht comes on and the air bag light goes off and on and stay s on for long periods of time... And of course when i called last week on the air bag... Liteit was.

After having recall'sc 98043,c 99046,and 95020 cross 95c31completed, returning home from the dealer 1/2 mile away, stopped at a traffic light, our blazer lurched forward and smashed into the rear of the vehicle in front of my wife who was driving.

At 2 1/2 years old, my car developed an engine surge problem at start up.this eventually affects braking since the engine will surge when cold and if i'm trying to stop (i.e., the stop sign at the end of my block where kids are waiting for the school bus) and the extra power of the engine surge causes the car to lunge forward and i must apply extra pressure to the brake pedal to stop the car.i have had the car to the dealership over 10 ten times.they initially told me they couldn't find the problem although they could witness the symptoms.recently i received a letter describing the exact symptoms and identifying the problem where the linear exhaust gas recirculation valve sticks.the letter said this was not a recall but if i experienced the problem to make an appointment.when i took it in and they checked against the vin # they said i didn't qualify even though my problems for the past 1 1/2 years match exactly.when i contacted gm directly, they changed the story and said my car was eligible.
At full throttle, pedal stays on the floor-have to turn off key to stop vehicle.
Vehicle rpm races up to 3000 before shifting.tt
The speed control module turned on by itself, and the throttle opened wide.pressing down on the brake did not release the speed control.i was forced to throw the car into neutral (which red-lined the motor at about 4,500 rpm) and shut it off.only on the third restart of the motor did the module release.i was traveling at about 50 mph, and began to accelerate to go up a small hill.the cruise control was not on when this problem occured.the other problem concerns the egr valve.in late 1999, i took the car to a local chevrolet dealer because it was running rough.they analyzed it as a stuck egr valve, and cleaned it.two months later, i get a letter from chevrolet (not a recall notice) stating that my car may have an egr problem.i had to take the car back a few months later, and asked for a new valve to be installed.they refused, as they said they could not be reimbursed by gm anymore.since that time, the same problem has manifested itself 4 times, and each time, the dealer maintains it isn't the egr valve.i believe that this is pure deception on the part of the dealer, and the ntsa should force gm to replace the egr valves asap.the car wants to die in traffic when this problem appears, which is sporadic and unpredicatable.

Gurgling noise detected behind center console of vehicle at approx 60k miles. Dealer did not find anything wrong. Now at 84k miles, dealer telling me that i need to replace heater core, radiator, and associated components due to defective coolant (dex-cool). This coolant was originally used by chevrolet in 95 and 96 blazers and is now known to break down and result in "mud-like" substance. Risk of over-heating is primary concern. I have found at least 10 other individuals on the internet with similar problems. This is not an isolated complaint. My main issue - chevy did not detect the problem early enough even though given opportunity and now i am faced with a potential safety hazard and $1200 repair. Also, their coolant is know to be defective as per my conversation with 2 of their representatives. As a consumer, i do not feel as if i should pay for chevy's mistakes. I am looking to your organization for help in investigating this problem.

We have had repeated problems with this vehicle from approximately 4000 and going forward.the first indication of problems with electrical was when the emergency flashers were used the first time and it blew the electrical system at approximately 4000 miles we had owned the blazer less than 6 months at this time.we have had service enginechecklight indicator problems repeatedly and was told every time but 1 that it was "nothing"and later we have problems that are conveniently not covered under the warranty any more. The soft plugs blew in the engine in 9-1999 and we were told by the garage that repaired this that he had seen this before ... The antifreeze used deteriorates the plugs and they eventually leak and the engine overheats.the gm dealer that we took the blazer to on this occasions fora second opinion 11-2000--this dealer had another 1995 blazer in the shop at the same time with the exact same problem.i thought this was odd for a town of 25,000 peopleand of course the 800 line to gm customer services advised me that it wan't anything that could be covered.we also had the leather seat replaced on driver side 2 times but continue to have problems with leather splitting and of course this is not covered.. All we are able to get from gm is the answer "no" whenever we feel that something should be covered...we have put over 2000 .00 in repairs in the engine and wipers and fuel injection system in the pastfrom 9-1999 thru 11 28 2000.... And the problems continues.. The service engine soon lifht comes on and the air bag light goes off and on and stay s on for long periods of time... And of course when i called last week on the air bag... Liteit was.
