Vehicle stalls while in traffic. Engine check light comes on. Mechanic said it was the egr valve that was known to be defective. Defective part only guaranteed for up to 75000 miles, so gm will not pay for defective part to be replaced. *ak

The federal safety agency mandated that gm waranty the legr on 1995 blazers. When my blazer experienced this problem, I took it into the dealer to have the legr replaced. I was told they couldn't replace the parts under waranty because the federal safety agency only mandated the warranty for cars with less than 75,000 miles. My blazer had the problem at 80,000 miles. The mileage dictation is ridiculous! This failure is a safety hazard at any mileage and should be repaired regardless!
