The engine stutters which causes a loss in power brakes. Also, egr valve needs to be replaced.
1995 Chevrolet Blazer engine complaints
Page 6 of 8: complaints 131 to 160 of 216, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Vehicle experienced failure of the engine due to contamination of the oil pan (metal found), consumer feels this failure is related to recall (98v‑150), however refused recall repair for engine components in this specific recall. Mjs
While driving suddenly vehicle will come to a dead stop without any kind of warning. Vehicle has been in and out of dealer's shop several times for this problem. The solutions to solve this problem has not been successfull. Please provide any further details.
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.
Check engine light keeps coming on. Vehicle would shut off when coming to a stop. Also, brakes would fail when applied & would not stop vehicle.
Vehicle will stall when braking hard if fuel tank has less than 1/4 tank of gas. Originally reported to dealer while vehicle still under warranty, dealer said this was 'normal' for this vehicle. The dealer explained that when the fuel tank is low it is possible for the fuel pump to go 'dry' under certain braking conditions causing the engine to be starved of fuel thereby stalling the engine. To date vehicle has stalled a total of five times under these circumstances, I do not feel that it is 'normal' for a vehicle to stall when there is fuel left in the tank. The incident reported here almost caused an accident, I was braking and making a right turn at the time, when the engine stalled I lost power steering and power brakes, this made the vehicle almost impossible to control in the turn. Fortunately the vehicle behind me was able to maneuver around my stalled vehicle.
Egr valve failed causing vehicle to stall resulting in loss of power steering and braking ability. Nlm
Erg valve failed 5 times.causes brake failure while driving.dealer unable to correct.
Engine had blow seal causing oil to contaminate the engine cooling system, causing vehicle to overheat.
Failure of 100,000-mile "dex-cool" cooling system at 59,000 miles resulted in vehicle overheating. The "dex-cool" system failure has also resulted in massive electrolysis/rust within the cooling system. Neither dealer nor gm wants to stand behind the 100,000-mile dex-cool system life expectancy. Numerous gm certified technicians and service writers at other dealers have informed me that this is a common problem with the "dex-cool" system and is the result of an inferior product, and gm admits that there is a problem but refuses to address the issue.
Engine coolant line separated from engine, resulting in loss of engine oil, causing the motor to seize. The dealer has replaced the motor at the owner's expense. Manufacturer has been notified. However, new motor is currently leaking oil.
In february 1999 I received a letter from chevrolet stating that they are aware of the engine problem causing the egr valve to "stick(s), or foreign material holds the valve open or closed." I received this letter after my third replacement of the egr valve. They are not recalling the vehicle, but merely providing a warranty for the egr valve replacement up to 7 yrs./75000 miles. This does not fixed the actual defect of the vehicle. Inherently, after 75000 miles the vehicle will still be defective and they are refusing replacement or reimbursement of a defective vehicle. The letter is coded with c98066 above the date. I would be happy to fax a copy at your request. And I will continue to pursue justice from general motors. Jeri aanonson.
Vehicle experienced failure of the egr valve which stuck causing rough idle, replacement stuck also, manufacturer has a special warranty for component failure. Mjs
This is a followup to a previously reported problem. The service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle since the 40k range . The egr valve,an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in november,1998 at 78000 miles during two separate service visits . The vehicle again experience identical problems in april 1999 at 84000 miles which include rough running and stalling at slow speeds and the service engine light again coming during the rough running periods. The veihcle was returned to the dealer who first replaced the sensor-ox(part #102) this did not correct the problem and 3 days latter a new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. Due to these repeated problems I feel it is dangerous to drive this vehicle since you never know when the problem will reoccur and the vecle will again stall and run rough, making it an adventure when you are slowing or attempting to merge in traffic.
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
Consumer was pulling boat or load, the carbon broke loose from engine, creating a vacum leak which got into the egr valve, sending false message through check engine light. Also it threw the brakes out. Dealership replaced the egr valve on july 10-98. Afterwards, it five happened five other times.
Due to defective egr valve oxygen builds up and causes a seal to detach, resulting in loss of braking power and stalling, which may result in an accident. Chevrolet has an improvement campaign for the egr valve. But after 75,000 miles, manufacturer will no longer fix the egr valve which needs to be cleaned every 3 days. Please provide further information.
Oil lines are leaking heavy on the exhaust pipes which can result in a fire and cause loss of oil pressure. Dealer has been contacted.gm denies responsibility for problem.
I received a recall notice from chevrolet motors division and it said that they would repair the egr valve at no charge as long as the vehicle had less than 75,000 miles on it. The faulty egr valve causes the engine to run rough, idle poorly and possibly quit running altogether. We now have over 75, 000 miles on the vehicle and we have contacted chevrolet co. And they said that they will not take care of the problen even though they admit that the egr valve is faulty. This is really a safety issue because when the egr valve sticks, the vehicle brakes do not work and neither does the steering! A rough or poor idle will cause a decrease in vacuum and this causes the brakes not to function. Steering is also affected because when the engine does not run, the power steering belt does not move, therfore we lose power steering. My wife has had numerous problems with this and our dealer, and chevrolet motors division admit that the egr valve is at fault. We have had a lot of trouble with this and most of it occurred before the vehicle had 75,000 miles on it. We feel that if chevrolet can replace them in vehicles with less that 75,000 miles on them, they should replace them on vehicles with more than 75,000 on them also since they admit that the valves are faulty.
The oil cooling line came out of the coupling & fell apart. This caused the engine to lock up.
Vehicle experiences intermittent stalling, fumes from ventillation and service engine light illumination, these conditions are mentioned in service bulletin to be caused by the egr valve sticking. Repairs to the engine light switch did not rectify conditions.
Several stalls due to egr valve failure, dealer failed to find problem with egr valve at 47,000 miles, now chevy refusing to cover part as warranty unless under 75,000 miles
The egr valve failed causing the vehicle engine to surge and nearly stall while in traffic. At times during surging the brakes would fail. Driver was barely able to maintain control, mainly due to the low operating apeed.
Gas recirculation valve (egr) is defective, causing the vehicle to buck & jerk. Would lose braking power whenever it happens.
Windshield wiper motor failed prior to recall notice 98v‑150. Mjs
Ie98077, the egr valve had too much carbon which made it malfunction, causing brakes to have extended stopping distance. No power steering and shaking in the vehicle which may cause an accident. Dealer replaced egr valve 3 times. Please provide further information.
While driving at 15 MPH and stopping at a stop sign heard some knocking and ticking noise coming from the front of the vehicle , the engine blew out, causing the consumer to get a new engine. Vehicle has been in the shop 5 to 6 times for repair work, and replaced engine two to three times. Problem has returned again with knocking and ticking noise.
Consumer has been experiencing problems with freeze plugs. Freeze plugs leak anti-freeze. The manufacturer has yet to be contacted.
Bearing in engine defective causing damage to entire engine on three occasions.
