I have gas leak that come from the back of the car and that is when I get out of the blazer, and it seem to be wheel problem.
I had the egr valve replaced because there was problems with my vehicle running terrible and killing in traffic. It was replaced free because there was a bulletin, I really wonder if it was replaced on 10/01 because almost 1 year later 9/02 I started having the same problems again and it cost me $272 to have it fixed and once again as of 10/11/05 computer diagnostic reveals that the egr is sticking again and it's going to cost $375,could I have possible gotten a defective egr on 10/01. Also, I have had this problem with my blazer shortly after I purchased it . When driving on uneven surface it sounds as if something is cracking and trying to fall to pieces in the front and the steering is loose and pulls to one side, even after a front end alignment and rotation and balance, the problem is not corrected. I actually had 1 of many front end alignment and rotation done on 10/07/05 and my front end problem has gotten much,much worse than usually. I am almost scared to drive it.
While driving vehicle caught on fire. Investigation showed that fluid was overflowing out of the transfer case and traveling to the catalytic converter and exhaust system.*ak the fluid overflowed to the hot manifold and exhaust system causing the fire. The consumer stated that the transmission was replaced and the seal that connects the transfer case was not replaced. The consumer stated that when the flammable liquid from the transmission went into the transfer case the seal gave way. The consumer stated that the placement of the vent tube over the hot exhaust is a dangerous design flaw and should be recalled due to fire hazard. The consumer stated the seal was replaced and she was overcharged. The consumer would like to be reimbursed for the cost of the repair. The consumer stated that if she does not hear the public address of this problem on the news she will take the issue to the news wire personally.
Engine compartment plastic shield disintegrated. As a result, water leaked into the vehicle. *ak
One of the oil cooler hoses came off the crimp causing the vehicle to lose all oil and pressure. Vehicle shut down in the middle of a curve, causing owner to lose control of the vehicle (but luckily regain it). Engine is a complete loss and will be costing us thousands of dollars to replace. This really seems to be a manufacturer issue, as the crimp method used for this high pressure (and highly important) hose is of a type that does not seem reliable. The shop that is holding our car, pending our decision on what we can do about this problem, has indicated they have had one or two other blazers in their shop in the last year with the same problem occurring - and that they noted at the time that the crimp method, without barbs to give extra grab to the hose - seems to be the contributing factor. I would really like to see chevrolet take responsibility for this manufacturing defect - if the hose had been attached in a reliable method, this problem would not have occurred. This is very dangerous.
The car surged and lost oxygen to brakes, etc. I have had exhaust system replaced, new tires, new computer e prom, egr valve cleaned numerous times, new injector unit installed, brakes replaced, total tuneup to try and rectify the problem. I still continue to have to have the carbon cleaned out of the egr valve as the car will not run properly. I purchased the blazer from ricko ent. Inc. 16 moulton rd, rochester, nh, 03867.also known as first city motor sales in rochester nh. The owner, richard ottino agreed to cover the cost of repairs but never did. The total of repairs that I have paid to date is $1,266.00. I sent the dealership a certified letter with all copies of the repair bills.
We have had numerous problems with the egr valve being clogged!now we have had problems with the fuel system.we have had the fuel pump changed, and now it's back in the shop due to the spider.the ABS brakes also don't work properly.are there recalls due to the fuel system?
Egr valve needs to be replaced for the third time. Seems like this is becoming regular maintenance.
Car stalled numerous times at any speed. Independent shop stated that vehicle stalled due to a faulty egr valve. Dealer notified.
