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.

SOFT PLUGS RUSTED OUT IN VEHICLE. ANTIFREEZE LEAKED OUT, AND ENGINE OVERHEATED. WHEN CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, IT TOOK ONE WEEK TO FIX PROBLEM, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK

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. CARBON BUILDS 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...

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER BUT THE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NLM

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 GO UPHILL. 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....

SUDDEN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE, LEFT SIDE REAR. *AK

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...

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......

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK GOING DOWN A HILL VEHICLE CUT OFF. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. LOST ALL POWER. CONTACTED DEALER WHO CLAIMED THAT IT MIGHT BE BAD GAS. *AK

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 EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE ENGINE DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF THE OIL PAN (METAL FOUND), CONSUMER FEELS THIS FAILURE IS RELATED TO RECALL (98V-150), HOWEVER REFUSED RECALL REPAIR FOR ENGINE COMPONENTS IN THIS SPECIFIC RECALL. MJS

FREQUENTLY STALLS. PROBLEM HAS NOT/CANNOT BE FIXED. OWNER WANTS A REPLACEMENT CAR.

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND WILL NOT START BACK UP. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 5 TIMES. *AK DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED #843756. *YC

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!

FIRE. INSURANCE TOTALLED CAR. NO ONE, CHEVY OR DEAL WANTS RESPONSIBILITY. FIRE UNDETERMINED BY FIRE DEPT.

THE ENGINE STUTTERS WHICH CAUSES A LOSS IN POWER BRAKES. ALSO, EGR VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *AK

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. *AK

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY VEHICLE WILL COME TO A DEAD STOP WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF DEALER'S SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTIONS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFULL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

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...

CONSUMER WAS PULLING BOAT OR LOAD, THE CARBON BROKE LOOSE FROM ENGINE, CREATING A VACUM LEAK WHICH GOT INTO THE EGR VALVE, SENDING FALSE MESSAGE THROUGH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO IT THREW THE BRAKES OUT. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE EGR VALVE ON JULY 10-98. AFTERWARDS, IT FIVE HAPPENED FIVE OTHER TIMES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 15-20 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST ALL BRAKING POWER WITHOUT ANY INDICATION. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CONSUMER HAS A PROBLEM WITH ENIGINE. WHEN THE VEHICLE GETS UP TO 50MPH OR COMING TO A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER , CAUSING THE ENIGINE TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

STALLING 3-4 TIMES HESATATION AND NO POWER. 7. HEATER WON'T SHUT OFF. TRUCK CUT OFF LIKE IT HAS RAN OUT OF GAS. 8.LOOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING. *AK * ADJ

DIFFICULT WITH ENGINE CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN STARTING, VIOLENT SHAKING, ENGINE STALLING WHICH RESULTED IN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON.

VEHICLE STALLS/ENGINE QUITS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. DEALERS CANNOT CORRECT PROBLEM. *AK
