1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER Fuel System Gasolinefuel Injection System Problems

REGARDING CPI FAILURE: CHECK "O" RING BEHIND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR(ROUGH IDLE,LOSS OF POWER,REDUCED GAS MILEAGE; FUEL IN MANIFOLD; WHEN TESTING FUEL PRESSURE IT DROPS ALMOST INSTANTLY WHEN FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF) PRETTY EASY TO MISTAKE FOR A CPI FAILURE. *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM PROBLEM. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND RECEIVED MANY DIFFERENT STORIES OF REMEDY. CONSUMER ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK THE FUEL TANK, AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO CHECK IT. THEN, CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT DEALERSHIPS WERE INDEPENDENTLY OWNED, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE EGR VALVE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK 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,...

THERE WAS A CONSTANT SMELL OF GAS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER NOTICED FUEL WAS "BUILDING" ON TOP OF ENGINE. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. *PH THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW CENTRAL PORT INJECTOR. *JB

CP INJECTOR SAID TO BE LEAKING INTERNALLY CAUSING ENGINE TO RUN RICH. EXPERIENCING VERY ROUGH IDLE, POOR GAS MILEAGE, FOUL SMELL AND HARD START. EGR VALVE NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN (2ND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS). DT

THIS CPI UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHERS OWNING THIS SAME VEHICLE. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY, BROUGHT TO DEALER, REPLACED EGR VALVE, SECOND TIME CLEANED EGR VALVE,THIRD TIME REPLACED FUEL INJECTOR, FOURTH TIME REPLACED EGR VALVE AGAIN,FIFTH TIME REPLACED FUEL INJECTOR AGAIN. JUST PICKED UP FROM DEALER TODAY, AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. . DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED SOME HELP, THERE HAS BEEN TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *AK

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.*AKTHE FUEL INJECTION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2002. *JG

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE REPLACED INJECTOR. THE FIRST TIME WAS A FEW YEARS BACK.*AK

VEHICLE MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR RIDING OVER BUMPY STREETS. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON EACH SIDE NEEDED REPLACING, AND 1995 MODELS WERE HAVING A COMMON PROBLEM. SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND REFERRED CONSUMER TO PERSONNEL.*AK CONSUMER ALSO COMPLAINS THAT GASOLINE WAS LEAKING OUT OF THE INJECTION BULK HEAD, CAUSING THE FUEL INJECTION TO FAIL, CONSUMER REPAIRED AT OWN EXPENSE, WHEN CONSUMER NOTIFIED MANUFACTUER HOT LINE OF CONDITION, MANUFACTURER WAS ONLY AWARE OF THIS CONDITION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHERE THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. *TT

BLAZER WAS PURCHASED IN 1998, 1ST PROBLEM IN 1999-REPLACED MUFFLERS.. 1999- REPLACED EGR VALVE- 2000 REPLACED EGR VALVE AND CATALYTIC CON. & 2 OXYGEN SENSORS DUE TO FAILURE OF EGR VALVE...JUNE 2000- ANOTHER EGR VALVE REPLACED & FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM REPLACED- 2000 ; EGR REPLACED AND SPARK PLUGS AND ALL WIRES REPLACED; 2001- NEED ANOTHER EGR VALVE -- ALL AT COST TO OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

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 !!!!

VEHICLE SHOWED A NOTICABLE DECREASE IN GAS MILEAGE, ALSO ROUGH ENGINE START AND AS MANY AS SIX ATTEMPTS TO START ENGINE, WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC AFTER PERFORMING DIAGNOSTIC, FOUND THAT THE ENGINE LOST PRESSURE AT AN ACCELLERATED RATE, WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN 25 TO 30 MINUTES TO LOOSE 15 POUNDS OF PRESSURE, IT TOOK UNDER 3 MINUTES, FUEL PRESSIRE REGULATOR HAS FAILED TWICE SINCE OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE-8-2-99 AND 4-2-01. *JB

PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, RIGHT BALL JOINT BROKE. ALSO, WHEN LEAVING A PARKING LOT, FUEL INJECTOR FAILED, CAUSING HYDRAULIC BRAKES ARE TERRIBLE.*AK

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. *AK

THE CENTRAL PORT INJECTION SYSTEM FAILED AND WAS REPLACED, THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A HARD START, ROUGH IDLE, AND APPEARED NOT TO BE FEEDING GAS PROPERLY. *SLC

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 10 MONTHS OF ONE ANOTHER. WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR REPLACED ONCE AT MY EXPENSE THEN AGAIN AFTER IT FAILED A SECOND TIME FINALLY THROUGH A RECALL CAMPAIGN I FEEL IT WILL FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE SAME SOLDERING PROBLEM. *AK

CPI UNIT IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, CPI UNIT IS PART OF THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. *MJS

THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY FAILURE,CAUSING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO BECOME FLOODED WITH GASOLINE ,CREATING A POTENTIALY VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, DUE TO THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE,AS I HAVE DISCOVERED AT LEAST 6 OTHER INSTANCES INVOLVING THE SAME VEHICLE,WITH THE SAME HAZARDOUS CONDITION, RIGHT IN MY IMMEDIATE VICINITY. *AK

THE MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION UNIT FAILED WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO START WHEN COLD. *MJS

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN CAR WAS NOT IN USE , AFTER AN ACCIDENT .THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES AND THEY DO THESE REPAIRS 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK.*AK

CP INJECTOR FAILED AT 70000. LEAKING CAUSING ENGINE TO RUN POORLY/RICH. *AK

VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO START AND RUNS ROUGH ON IDLE. THIS IS DUE TO A BAD DIAPHRAGM IN THE FUEL INJECTOR. DEALER HAS NOT FIXED VEHICLE. *AK

FUEL INJECTOR AND REGULATOR FAILED CAUSING UNBURNED GASOLINE TO FILTER INTO THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, THIS CAUSED EXTREME SHAKING AND POWER LOSS. *MJS

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING BLAZER BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHEN BLAZER WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT FUEL INJECTION REGULATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. PART WAS REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

APPEARS FUEL INJECTION IS FAILING AGAIN AFTER 12000 MILES. . *AK

THE CPI VALVE IS LEAKING WITHIN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM,CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

POSSIBLE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM LEAK IS CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE BAD ON GAS AND A FUEL SMELL TO BE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. NLM

10/98 WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS PART FAILED. AROUND 2/23/00 66000 MILES WAS THE SECOND. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

CENTRAL PORT INJECTOR UNIT IS LEAKING. YH

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR LEAKS FUEL INTO ENGINE WHEN ENGINE OFF AND IDLE. MUST CRANK ENGINE WITH PEDAL TO FLOORBOARD TO CLEAR FUEL FOR STARTING. ENTIRE MANIFOLD FUEL SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED TO CORRECT REGULATOR (COST OF APPROXIMATELY $700.00)

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.

PREMATURE FAILURE OF FUEL-INJECTION SYSTEM RESULTED IN $1,150 REPAIR COST. OWNER IS FAMILIAR WITH OTHER BLAZER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. POSSIBLE LEMON CANDIDATE.*AK

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...

NONE

ELECTRICAL FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCITON.

FUEL INJECTION; SECOND TIME ENTIRE INJECTION REPLACED DUE TO NO FUEL GETTING TO ENGINE. OWNER IS AWARE OF OTHERS WITH 4.3 SAME FAILURE WHEN CONDITIONS ARE COLD.
