1995 Chevrolet Blazer electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 70, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at state speed limit vehicle was stalling. Was capable of parking vehicle at home. Hours later, tried to start vehicle, and without warning vehicle did not start.
On several occasions rear hatch window opens by itself, wipers stop in rain, door locks jam shut, exterior mirrors work intermittently, windows do not open at times, and interior lights work intermittently, possible electrical problem.
While driving at night all lights in vehicle will go out by themselves for about 10 seconds. This happens intermittently. Dealer contacted.
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.
A small amount of smoke comes out from the dash (near the blower switch) when the blower motor switch is in the number 2nd low position. There is also a burning smell when this occurs.
Suv lost total electrical system. Lights, power steering, gauges, all electrical while driving on city street. Aaa tow driver indicated that my positve battery terminal was leaking down onto to the cable harness causing the cable to break. He said he sees this problem (leaking + terminal) once a week. Gm truck chasis with an AC delco battery and always the positive cable. Repair facility confirmed diagnosis and said to hang onto my receipt because gm may be doing a recall. Both parties said that gm has known about this problem for some time. Luckily no one was injured, but imagine if I were on the freeway doing 65 MPH with my wife and kids in the car? How much would a refund mean to me then? I plan on sending a copy of this to senator fred upton (r -mich) in support of the "thread" act. .
While driving vehicle & would need to hit horn to warn other drivers & predestrians. Location of horn was hard to find. Then, would not operate properly if hit.

Fuse blew & was replaced. Fuse box sparked & sunvisor on the driver side with a vanity mirror started smoking near the hinge. Wires melted down & the sunvisor was disconnected.

Consumer has continuous problem with brakes locking up. Dealer & mechanic shops can't remedy problem. Brakes have been replaced 7 times. Also, door locks, automatic windows, and windshield wiper motor have failed. Check engine light comes on for unknown reason. *ak
Egr valve replaced,oxygen sensor replaced,ignition coil replaced to no avail. On certain occasions engine check light comes on & there is a smell of gas. Truck acts like it will stall out.
In june of 1999, while in texas, the battery exploded/leaked when I started the engine. The acid went everywhere in the right side of the engine compartment and corroded some cables and hoses. The dealership said that everything looked alright, but I can't tell if it is. Today I read an article about general motors vehicles for 1995 to 1997 model years with a battery leakage/break safety problem. Do I need to be concerned with this. Can you let me know one way or another. Thank you, mark oden.
While parked engine caught fire, causing the wiring harness and the ABS to burn. The dealer has inspected the vehicle.
Vehicle won't start up and their is a smell of gas within the vehicle due to the central port injector that went out within the vehicle.
After long distance travel engine check light came on and will stay on. Dealer has looked into the problem, and said that it was a computer problem. They have replaced computer twice, but problem still occurs.
There is an anti-freeze leak. Also, freeze plugs on engine block had to be replaced, battery died out/vehicle wouldn't start, and egr valve had to be replaced. Dealer says they can't find anything wrong. Problems started with the egr valve. *ak
While vehicle was parked a short circuit occurred in the fuse recepticle that resulted in a fire with the interior lights being burned, fire was put out by the fire department, and they made the determination that fire was caused by a short circuit in fuse recepticle. Dealer has been contacted.

While traveling the vehicle would stall without indications, blowing a fuse. Dealer has been contacted . Please provide futher information.
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.
Failed fuel pump replaced, fuel filter replaced, vehicle is still extremely difficult to start. Egr failed causing rough running and stalling. Spark plugs failed causing rough running and stalling. High pressure oil hose failed causing potential loss of engine oil. Left door remote lock failed causing door to remain locked when remote unlock is attempted. Crankshaft rear main seal was replaced under warranty but still leaks.
While trying to start the vehicle after two times it did not start, and a third attempt lead to a burst of smoke in the passenger's compartment and under the hood. Consumer then opened the hood and noticed flames at the back drivers side of the compartment. Fire department put the flames out, and said it was an electrical fire. Manufacturer has been contacted.
