After having recall's c 98043, c 99046, and 95020 cross 95c31 completed, returning home from the dealer 1/2 mile away, stopped at a traffic light, our blazer lurched forward and smashed into the rear of the vehicle in front of my wife who was driving. The vehicle had to be towed because of damaged grill,radiator, hood and fenders. Is there a way this incident could have been caused by any of these recall's? Also after the recalls were fixed the dealer had to fix a stuck egr valve, because the truck ran really bad after the recalls were fixed. The dealer said he had to remove many components to fix/clean the egr valve billing us 202.53.
While driving with the cruise control set at 60 MPH, driver turned off cruise control which activated again, and caused vehicle to acclerate 80. Driver had to place vehicle in neutral in order to stop vehicle. Please provide further information.
Ea 3561, ongoing intermittent problem with vehicle acceleration. Whenever foot is removed from accelerator pedal, vehicle would accelerate for a few second or more before returning to normal.

Vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. Was unable to stop with foot on brakes (ABS). Had to shift into park to stop. Had vehicle towed to dealership & mechanic was unable to determine the cause of sudden acceleration.
Sudden acceleration; went to apply brakes, and the brakes jammed.consumer contacted dealer and manufacturer.
When the brakes are applied pedal goes all the way to the floor, vehicle seems to accelerate before the brakes start to work , also if they are pressed to hard the vehicle will slide and the brakes make a grinding sound. Dealer has been contacted.
Defective throttle plate got stuck, causing the vehicle to suddenly accelerate.also, braking system would not work. Had to turn off the vehicle in order to stop. Please provide further information.
When consumer put cruise control on, setting at 60 MPH, vehicle began to speed faster and faster, losing control. Vehicle crashed into a hill side.
This vehicle has had multiple problems since purchase. The front hub and brakes had to be replaced at 9000 miles and the front brakes have been replaced 3 times since for safety. Mjs
Unintended acceleration: vehicle suddenly, and without warning, began to accelerate at maximum engine RPM when shifted from drive (not od) to reverse. Continued, even though foot pressure on brake was extreme, when shifted from drive to '1'. Did not stop until transmission was jammed into park. Foot on brake entire time. Thank god vehicle was on snow at the time: rear wheels just spun, rather than propel vehicle back or forward. Scared the @#%& out of me. Please investigate. Thank-you. Edward w. Suor, (716) 624 - 8365.
At 2 1/2 years old, my car developed an engine surge problem at start up. This eventually affects braking since the engine will surge when cold and if I'm trying to stop (I.e., the stop sign at the end of my block where kids are waiting for the school bus) and the extra power of the engine surge causes the car to lunge forward and I must apply extra pressure to the brake pedal to stop the car. I have had the car to the dealership over 10 ten times. They initially told me they couldn't find the problem although they could witness the symptoms. Recently I received a letter describing the exact symptoms and identifying the problem where the linear exhaust gas recirculation valve sticks. The letter said this was not a recall but if I experienced the problem to make an appointment. When I took it in and they checked against the VIN # they said I didn't qualify even though my problems for the past 1 1/2 years match exactly. When I contacted gm directly, they changed the story and said my car was eligible.
