Tl*the contact owns a 1995 chevrolet blazer. While driving 63 MPH, the fuel injector stopped working and the engine began to stall. There were no warning indicators before the failure occurred. There was a loss of power steering and the engine eventually shut off when the contact pulled to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive it to the mechanic. The weather was not a factor. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number 06e041000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The mechanic stated that the fuel injection valve failed and the vehicle was repaired with the new parts. The incident occurred again several months later. The contact received an invoice. The current mileage was 219,000 and failure mileage was 206,000.

Vehicle had a no start condition. Mechanic thought issue was the fuel pump and replaced it. Vehicle started, but about 2 weeks later vehicle stalled out in the middle of traffic. Consumer notified chevy and was told there was a special recall on the cmfi unit, but vehicle was over the mileage to qualify. It seemed that the problem resulted from the fuel used in california. Consumer was never made aware of special recall. California owners should be made aware of the problem.

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.
