While driving at night with my headlights on i turned on the highbeam lights.they worked fine for about thirty seconds but then i lost all my interior and exterior lights.i turned the highbeams off and all my interior and exterior lights came back on.this is the only time this has happened.i was on vacation at the time and upon my arrival home i took it to the dealer named (on oct. 11).they checked the light system (according to the service writer) both electronically and visually but could not ascertainwhat caused the problem.i want to add that i have had a problem from time to time with the headlights not coming on when on turn the switch on that controls them.i have also had the truck back to the dealer for this problem at least once, while it was still under warranty, but they could not duplicate the problem so this problem has never been corrected either.if i keep turning the lights on and off eventually they do always come on, so far.this is the first time i ever had a problem with the h ighbeams, though.also, for about the last 18 months, while using the windshield wipers, they would stop in mid-stride.when i would turn them off and then turn them on again they would work fine forseveral months and then they would repeat this problem.on oct 11 i had the dealer check this also and they replaced the windshild wiper circuit board as they said that was bad.to me the headlights are a safety item and i think someone should look into this problem.thank you.

Several other repair shops indicated that this was a problem with this particular vehicle.
This is a common failure due to a manufacturing defect. I have documented proof of it along with 20 testimonials from blazer owners and an engineers report detailing the problem. Gm is not only refusing to stand behind the problem they've created but are charging upwards of $800.00 to fix it. This problem causes fuel to pass the cylinders and fill the oil pan with gas to the point of having gas leak out of all of the oil seals and out of the engine. This problem will cause the engine not only to sieze but also may result in engine fire and loss of life. Gm's stance on this is to ignor customer complaints and charge a premium for the repair.

Complaint regarding the injectors on the 1994 chevrolet s-10.*mrthe consumer stated he had to replace the injectors twice.the engine was replaced because it cracked and leaked. The heater core was replaced due to a misrouted wiring harness.
Fuel injection system---i am very upset that i now need to replace again the fuel injectors and the regulator. I replced it the first time under warranty at 49721 miles. It was hard to believe that it went so fast. I was told by several mechanics that this should not happen dduring the first 125k or never. This is a costly repair of 800..00 or more and it seems to be a problem for many with this vortec 6 cyl 4.3 l i would like some help in trying to get the manufacturer gen. Motors to change this type design and to help the vitims of this costly repair. Once is too much and 2 times is rediculous in less than 75k. The second time was only 25k from replacement.the engine takes 4 to 5 retries to start and it gets progressively worse. I have heard many mechanics talk about a possible class- action suit if consumers have to put up with all the costly repairs and the egr valve is another problem with many. The abs sytem ,i have had to replace the brake pads and rotors at 31420. I felt it was premature.th

Movement of the vehicle makes the gas drip out. The dealer was not cantacted. There is no warranty of vehicle the estimated cost for a new fuel tank is approximately $256.00 plus labor.

Experiencing rusting of fuel tank, due to exposure to precipitation and the elements, dealer nor mfr. Will assist.tt
Gas tank rusted severly because of the plastic gas tank shield holding dirt and moisture between shield and tank. The tank only rusted where the shield is located. The vehicle had slight fuel smell upon start-up. Apx 2 weeks later, the fuel tank rusted to the point of a major spill, of apx 3 gallons upon movement of vehicle. This is a obvious safety defect. Very unsafe. A recall is needed now.!
Gas tank leaking on bottom where the plastic shield lets dirt and stone build-up and rusts out the tank.
While the consumer was preparing to change the fuel filter he discovered the gas tank had a hole in the bottom as well as the top of the tank and was leaking fuel which caused a fuel odor while parked in garage.nlm
My major concern is that a burned plug was found inside the fuel tank where the electric fuel pump plugs in.if this wire were to arc inside the fuel tank could this not cause a fire or explosion, and have you had anymore of these incidents reported.*****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis *****769333

While driving on the beltway (395) in dc, traffic had come to an abrupt stop. As i went to apply my brakes the pedal locked-up and i could not apply the brakes. The normal abs sounds were present but the brake pedal would not move. The abs light nor any other light came on. I had to stop using my emergency brake. I pulled off to the side of the road and it appeared to have corrected itself. I continued at a slow speed and tried the brakes again and i was able to stop. While driving home to new york it did not occur again. I drove the vehicle to dc again and it occured a few more times. I had it checked at a service station and they found nothing wrong. I continued to drive the vehicle and the problem did not occur immediately. On 4-8-99 i was returning from a store with my wife. I was entering the on ramp of i-84 in middletown ny, when i applied my brakes to slow down on the ramp the problem occured forcing my vehicle to sway side to side and almost rolling over. I called a gm dealer and they said that if the light didn't come on then there was probably nothing wrong with the abs. I told them i would like to have it checked out any way. Upon the dealer inspecting the brakes they apparently found that the high hydraulic unit abs pump was defective and it was costly to repair. My concern is not that i have to pay more than $1000.00 to correct the problem but that there are thousands of 1994 blazers on the road and that this problem can occur with out warning (no lights). If any part of the abs is defective the self test that is run on the abs should identfy this particular problem because it is something that can be measured (ie. Pressure). My vehicle is at port jervis auto mall service department (914) 856-5104. I would appreciate any action you may take in investigating this matter. Not every one will be able to think of stopping with their emergency brake when the pedal locks up. I was lucky to avoid an accident.

In situations where emergency stops are needed on road surfaces that are covered with gravel, wet, or otherwise traction challenging environment, the brakes are not reliable. The design ofthe brake system of this class vehicle is faulty,and produces unreliable preformance at times when one would expect reliable and dependable performance. Since buying this truck i have been involved in 3 rear end collisions in which the truck did not stop until it found whatever was in front of me.in all 3 cases it has been another car producing, 2 possibly 3, whiplash claims plus vechicle damage claims. Until buying this vehicle i never had a rear end accident.on 7/7/2002, on a wet but level pravementas i approached an intersection with a traffic light that was red for the direction i was going.i began to slow down as i approached the car in front of me.the brake lights on the car in front of me went out and it appear the car was moving forward. When the brake lights suddenly came back on, i hit my brake peddle hard and firm. Intially there was some braking sensation an a "whirrrr-ing" sound buti kept going forward until i hit the car in front me. While damage to my truck was minimal, about $900, the rear of the 2001 nissan altima that i hit, was considerable, fortunately the driver says she was not hurt but i would not be surprised if a whiplash claim is filed. The next day i took the truck into the nearest chevrolet dealer to check the condition of the brakes and to double check that the recall campaign work had been done. The brakes were inspected, road tested and declared to be in proper condition and "function as designed". The key here is the phrase function as designed. What is not said is that the design of this brake system allows for an extended stopping distance of unpredictable length or control of the driver, under the exact circumstances of my collisions. Neither chevrolet or gm give a warning in the owner's manual or by other means.

Begin date instead.this is still ongoing today!for gm to recall safety belts as a "safety hazard" is one thing.to totally ignore & hide a braking problem as nothing is quite another.i feel brakes are a bit more of a safety feature.i feel the braking system is very important.for gm to ignore this problem verifies why their stock is now considered junk bonds!just like my truck, junk!i ask for a reply, as i would like to know if you have gotten other complaints or comments on this braking system, in this year.i've talked with others & learned they have the same problem and have been blown off by dealers as well.thank you for your time and help with looking into this matter.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Since abs campaign #c99046 vehicle recall service july 7, 2000 to replace abs part # 8880026 module kit 4.720 i have had three loss of brakes in emergency stop/accident avoidance situation resulting in damages to frontal area of my vehicle all 3 time. And the last two times rear ending other person's vehicles. Ever since this recalled module was changed in low speed sudd stop or accident avoidance maneuvers while hitting the brake pedal the abs unit comes on with a pedal pumping pulsation but never slows or stops the truck. I have also had both front seat tracks broken by the impact to impairing rear seat passenger entry and exit. I have had the brakes redone continously and filed claim with g.m. Last time requesting engineering investigation to no avail. I have found that this model abs rear brakes are not auto adjusting after two prior accidents trying to get th brakes working correctly. I had had no followup by nhtsa regarding my last complaint by made by a tty/relay call as i am deaf.my insuranc has gone out of sight because of accident claim filings to fix this truck and never once did the insurance companies include th brake repairs in their reports. The truck brakes fine under all noprmal driving conditions including high speed thruway accident avoidance stops. Its just the low speed on dry roads with very warm near 90 degree temperature days on asphalt this happens and there is never a braking skid mark or wheel lock up at any accident site. I was advised that the recall module replacement was to resolvea "northern" wintertime icy condition stopping problem. The truck has never been driven in northern icy climates and the truck has always had expensive oversized special high performance tires/wheels/suspension components to enhance braking and handling. With this recall module change the brake fluid also gets black and contaminated faster. I want to unload this vehicle but am afraid aperson unfamiliar could get hurt or hurt someone. Help!

I purchased my 1994 chevy s-10, vin [xxx], new in '94.within the first 3 months of ownership, i noticed a problem with the rear braking system.the problem, the adjustors are shoving the shoes too tight against the drums, causing them to drag, glazing the shoes, & after periods of time, burning up the shoes, warping the drums.i've had to replace shoes & drums an average of every 30,000 miles.taken the truck back several times with no results or problem acknowledgment.they clean them, adjust them, charge me, ship me out the door.when the roadway is wet or snowy, the rear brakes constantly lock up.this has thrown me into several intersections, into oncoming traffic, because of no brakes.when the rear brakes lock up the front brakes unload, leaving me with no brakes.the front pads go an average of 80,000 miles without needing changed.you ask for number of failures.the brakes fail during rains, snow, etc?each time i hit my brakes during these conditions is a failure.i can't list all incident dates, there's too many!i listed approx. Begin date instead.this is still ongoing today!for gm to recall safety belts as a "safety hazard" is one thing.to totally ignore & hide a braking problem as nothing is quite another.i feel brakes are a bit more of a safety feature.i feel the braking system is very important.for gm to ignore this problem verifies why their stock is now considered junk bonds!just like my truck, junk!i ask for a reply, as i would like to know if you have gotten other complaints or comments on this braking system, in this year.i've talked with others & learned they have the same problem and have been blown off by dealers as well.thank you for your time and help with looking into this matter.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

As i proceeded to pass another vehicle, throttle stuck while vehicle was in passing gear.due to high engine rpm, vacuum assistance of the brakes was lost as well.this all occured while descending a long hill with a steep curve at the bottom.although i was standing hard on the brakes, i kept gaining speed.while attempting to brake, i shifted to neutral.shifting into neutral resulted in excessive rpm, so i had to shift back into drive gear to keep from blowing the engine.when the situation was getting critically dangerous(curve looming ahead and still gaining speed), and when i was about to turn off the ignition (my last remaining option), the throttle finally released.at one point, my speed was approx. 60 mph, although i was standing on the brakes.at this point, i haven't yet determined whether the cause is electronic or mechanical. My suspicion is a fault in the cruise control. I do know it scared me and is a potentially very dangerous problem.will notify if i can determine the exact cause of the problem.

Throttle sticks.*aw
As i proceeded to pass another vehicle, throttle stuck while vehicle was in passing gear.due to high engine rpm, vacuum assistance of the brakes was lost as well.this all occured while descending a long hill with a steep curve at the bottom.although i was standing hard on the brakes, i kept gaining speed.while attempting to brake, i shifted to neutral.shifting into neutral resulted in excessive rpm, so i had to shift back into drive gear to keep from blowing the engine.when the situation was getting critically dangerous(curve looming ahead and still gaining speed), and when i was about to turn off the ignition (my last remaining option), the throttle finally released.at one point, my speed was approx. 60 mph, although i was standing on the brakes.at this point, i haven't yet determined whether the cause is electronic or mechanical. My suspicion is a fault in the cruise control. I do know it scared me and is a potentially very dangerous problem.will notify if i can determine the exact cause of the problem.

I was driving home from my 2nd job on 4/27/99 around 9:00 pm, it was raining and my windshield wipers were working as i left my job, but before i could make it a mile down the road they quit.i had to stop in a dimly lit industrial park and try to get them to come back on, i was not able to accomplish that.i had to drive home in the pouring rain with my head hanging out the window basically, it was either that or walk in the dark and rain.i could have had an accident because of these faulty wipers.also, since i purchased this truck in '94my brakes have collapsed numerous times, at one point they collapsed when i was going down a slight hill, when they collapsed i swerved ever so slightly and side-swipped a curb which damaged my rim and caused a flat.since then i have had to have the master cylinder replaced, the brakes replaced constantly, and anytime i take it to a shop to be repaired they cannot find the problem.i only have 68,000 miles on a 5 year old truck and i have to be very careful driving it because i never know if the brakes will stop.

Windshield wipers had not been working on occasion. I went to the chevrolet dealer and they told me that other chevrolet trucks had been recalled for this same thing, but my truck did not have the right vin number to get it replaced. They wanted something like $250 for the same thing that was broken on all the other chevrolet s10. A wire is located badly and it breaks or shorts out or something. I can not afford that. Then one day going 60 mph in a pouring rain storm they completly shut off. We could not see a thing. We had to pull over to the side of the road. We were in heavy traffic and could not see anything!per the seat belts. They lock and with every move, or breath the seat belt tightens and chokes and squeezes the passager until you have to take it off, hand feed the seat belt back into the holder and then try to rebuckle your self.this is dangerous when you are on the high way or anywhere for that matter. You should not be cut inhalf just breathing in a seatbelt. Thank you.

Windshield wipers will intermittently stop working. Does not seem to be any specific conditions that cause the failure. Sometimes the wipers will work for a few minutes then quit, then begin working again. This happens in all modes; interval settings, low speed, high speed and when attempting to use the windshield washer. This situation is addressed in recall 98v150001 but does not cover my vehicle as the recall begins with trucks made on or after 8/94; my s-10 was built 5/94. There are apparently other owners who are experiencing the same situation whose vehicles fall outside the recall coverage (they were built before 8/94). Extend the recall coverage date to cover these older vehicles.
