| 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 engine check light 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 for a 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 people and 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 past from 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... lite it was. *ak | |||

| 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. | |||

| This is a followup to a previously reported problem. the service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle since the 40k range . the egr valve,an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in november,1998 at 78000 miles during two 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 latter a new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. due to these repeated problems i feel it is dangerous to drive this 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. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 1995 chevrolet blazer. while driving 63 mph, the fuel injector stopped working and the engine began to stall. there were no warning indicators before the failure occurred. there was a loss of power steering and the engine eventually shut off when the contact pulled to the side of the road. the contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive it to the mechanic. the weather was not a factor. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number 06e041000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). the mechanic stated that the fuel injection valve failed and the vehicle was repaired with the new parts. the incident occurred again several months later. the contact received an invoice. the current mileage was 219,000 and failure mileage was 206,000. | |||

| 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. | |||
