Consumer Description

THE FOLLOWING NOTE WAS SENT TO CHEVY PRODUCT SUPPORT THROUGH THEIR WEB SITE. THE VEHICLE IS A 1993 BLAZER, VIN [XXX] - I RECENTLY HAD THE ELECTRONIC EMISSION CONTROL VALVE (EGR(?) FAIL IN THE OPEN POSITION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. FORTUNATELY, I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC AND COULD SAFELY HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE VALVE. IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART COVERED BY A WARRANTY OR OUT OF WARRANTY SPECIAL SERVICE ARRANGEMENT? HAVE THE SAFETY ISSUES BEEN ADDRESSED BY A REDESIGN OF THE VALVE OR EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE? THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONDITION REPORTED AS ODI ID: 736343 & 736345.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
