1995 Chevrolet Blazer engine complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 216, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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, and the muffler tail pipe had fallen off and rusted due to carbon build-up. The egr valve was cleaned but the problem persisted. The mechanic stated that in order to perform a proper job, the excessive carbon build up in the upper and lower intake manifold which effected the egr pendel, and the 02 sensor could cause a problem with the exhaust system, catalytic converter, fuel pump, the brakes, etc. The brakes squeaked, there were no dash lights, no air conditioning, and no 4-wheel drive. The fuel injections needed to be checked, and there were two recall stickers on the engine. *scc the rear wiper motor, fuel injectors and brakes were replaced.
Egr valve & oxygen sensors problem the above mentioned items have been identified as a problem with these vehicles by dealer & private mechanics. A service bulletin was sent out in 1997 with a summary that provides if nothing else a temporary fix. I have spent several hundred dollars fixing this problem over the last 5 years and would like to have some type of reimbursement, preferably a recall to have it fixed permanently. I have viewed others comments on this vehicle and it is an overall problem. Seems like the manufacturer is not taking any responsibility. Since your questions below do not prvide room for explanation in the crash column, I would like to remind everyone that when these valves get clogged up the vehicle literally seizes. Just stops, nice thought! My personal mechanic has recommended that when the vehicle starts clugging (as it will), prior to seizing up & just stopping in the middle of the road, (as it has already done), bring it in, (we will clean it out). Who's fault will an accident be? That repair could be to the tune of $100.00 depending on if anything else was affected by this. This problem has been identified, and still nothing is done about it. Currently we are a two car family with 2 teenagers in the market. Chevrolet dealers will not be on my list to visit. For this problem you would need a reacurring incident date.
Oil hose assembly motor side; oil hose assembly from filter to radiator failure.
The engine failed without warning.
The oil line failed, which caused the engine to seize.
Egr has been replaced twice since 1999 when I bought the vehicle. I just had the egr valve replaced yesterday and today the check engine light is back on and the nasty smell of exhaust/fuel is back in my vehicle. I also had the catalytic converter. Replaced two weeks ago. Vehicle runs rough and stalls without notice. Safety hazard! I have two small baby's and fear for their safety because of breathing in exhaust/fuel and vehicle stalling whenever. Mdh in virginia.
The vehicles egr valve malfunctioned and caused the vehicle not to run properly.
The oil cooler line (4.3w) on my chevy s10 blazer came out of the crimp and caused considerable damage to my engine. The dealer who sold and does work on this vehicle says it is not their fault and the repair price tag is quite a large sum! I would like to know why and how can chevy let a "defect" of this magnitude go unnoticed! I do not feel it is my responsibility to pay for this repair!
The hose came off the oil filter. Which forced the driver to pull off the road.
The coolant line cracked, which caused coolant to leak.
Vehicle has a malfunction with the oil coolant lines,it keeps leaking oil. The dealership has replaced the line twice but the problem recurred. Ph
4 egr valves (and I have got to put the 5th one on now) in the last 3 years $200.00 each. 2 cmfi units because of the fuel pressure regulator leaking the whole unit has to be replaced $500.00 each. Fuel pumps $80.00 each transmission has slipped at different times. Cooling is a problem it has never overheated but it would like to in the summer. I am a mechanic and all of my cars are taken care of to the slightest detail but it is not normal to replace this stuff more than a couple of times in the life of a car much less a couple of times a year.
Gas recirculation valve (egr) failed 5 times since purchase of the vehicle. Brakes failed by the time vehicle got to dealership.
We purchased a 95 chevy blazer from a dealer used at the end of october 2002. Less than 60 days later, the oil cooler line fell apart and all oil drained from the engine in 30-60 seconds, causing complete engine failure. The vehicle seized up in trafic in a dangerous area and there was not time to drive to a safe area to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who told us that this was a factory defect and suggested that we contact the dealer as the engine must be replaced. The dealer contacted chevrolet who has declined all responsibility and knowledge of this problem, yet there are numerous consumer complaints about the oil hose. Despite the fact that the vehicle was purchased less than 60 days before, we now are facing a repair bill that is half the cost of the vehicle and the dealer's response was "too bad."
The vehicle was purchased in 1999, took in to dealer for a routine check and mechanic states that carbon is building in erg valve, causing vehicle to stall. Took to dealer and they replaced erg valve. Mr

Smoke coming from the engine and then soon after the vehicle caught on fire. Contacted dealer.
While traveling about 65mph on highway and without prior warning engine froze up, and vehicle lost all power. Dealership is aware of the problem.*ak consumer was informed that the oil cooler lines had completely separated and the oil must have pump out of the engine onto the freeway, which in turn caused the engine to seize up
Engine would start to hesitate after smelling gas fumes. Vehicle been to dealer on two occasions and problem has been reoccurring. *ak consumer states work also performed on exhaust gas recalculation and idler air control valve.

Main oil cooler line came apart from coupling, casuing oilto leak out very quickly without warning. Contacted dealer.
The oil lines are defective causing them to blow off resulting in engine seizure. The engine was rebuilt. Jlg
The speed control module turned on by itself, and the throttle opened wide. Pressing down on the brake did not release the speed control. I was forced to throw the car into neutral (which red-lined the motor at about 4,500 RPM) and shut it off. Only on the third restart of the motor did the module release. I was traveling at about 50 MPH, and began to accelerate to go up a small hill. The cruise control was not on when this problem occured. The other problem concerns the egr valve. In late 1999, I took the car to a local chevrolet dealer because it was running rough. They analyzed it as a stuck egr valve, and cleaned it. Two months later, I get a letter from chevrolet (not a recall notice) stating that my car may have an egr problem. I had to take the car back a few months later, and asked for a new valve to be installed. They refused, as they said they could not be reimbursed by gm anymore. Since that time, the same problem has manifested itself 4 times, and each time, the dealer maintains it isn't the egr valve. I believe that this is pure deception on the part of the dealer, and the ntsa should force gm to replace the egr valves asap. The car wants to die in traffic when this problem appears, which is sporadic and unpredicatable.
Eight freeze plugs assembly in engine compartment is leaking antifreeze.
Egr valve is failing ,and causing vehicle to run rough. They have cleaned it, but problem is still there.
Consumer states while driving 65 MPH check engine light illuminated about three min after there was a noise that came from under the hood and the vehicle gave out. Nlm
