1995 Chevrolet Blazer fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 111, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Occasional smell of gasoline within the passenger compartment area, usually when max A/C is engaged. Smell goes away prior to having checked by dealer. Dealer advise that it can't be checked if it doesn't smell when brought to dealership. Occurs several times a year since purchase.
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, fuel injection system,cpi injector, freeze plugs.
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.
There was a hole in the fuel pressure regulator. Which caused fuel to leak onto the oil pan and blew out the engine.
There was a constant smell of gas while operating the vehicle. Consumer noticed fuel was "building" on top of engine. Dealer diagnosed problem as a defective fuel injection system. *ph the dealer installed a new central port injector.
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.
Cp injector said to be leaking internally causing engine to run rich. Experiencing very rough idle, poor gas mileage, foul smell and hard start. Egr valve needs replacing again (2nd time in less than 2 years). Dt
One injector was leaking fuel onto the engine resulting in a loud boom when the vehicle was started, damaging the engine (vortex engine). The check engine light never illuminated indicating there was a problem. The dealer has been notified. *mr

Vehicle stalls when coming to a stop, has stalled 5 times. Consumer received letter form chevrolet stating leg valve needs to be replaced. This has been done, but it did not remedy problem.*akthe fuel injection assembly was replaced in june of 2002.
This is the second time I've replaced injector. The first time was a few years back.

Dealer confirmed that upper and lower ball joints on each side needed replacing, and 1995 models were having a common problem. Service technician stated problem has caused accidents and referred consumer to personnel.*ak consumer also complains that gasoline was leaking out of the injection bulk head, causing the fuel injection to fail, consumer repaired at own expense, when consumer notified manufactuer hot line of condition, manufacturer was only aware of this condition in the state of california where there are recalls for the fuel injection system.
We have had repeated problems with this vehicle from approximately 4000 and going forward. The first indication of problems with electrical was when the emergency flashers were used the first time and it blew the electrical system at approximately 4000 miles we had owned the blazer less than 6 months at this time. We have had service engine check light indicator problems repeatedly and was told every time but 1 that it was "nothing" and later we have problems that are conveniently not covered under the warranty any more. The soft plugs blew in the engine in 9-1999 and we were told by the garage that repaired this that he had seen this before ... The antifreeze used deteriorates the plugs and they eventually leak and the engine overheats. The gm dealer that we took the blazer to on this occasions for a second opinion 11-2000 --this dealer had another 1995 blazer in the shop at the same time with the exact same problem. I thought this was odd for a town of 25,000 people and of course the 800 line to gm customer services advised me that it wan't anything that could be covered. We also had the leather seat replaced on driver side 2 times but continue to have problems with leather splitting and of course this is not covered.. All we are able to get from gm is the answer "no" whenever we feel that something should be covered... We have put over 2000 .00 in repairs in the engine and wipers and fuel injection system in the past from 9-1999 thru 11 28 2000.... And the problems continues.. The service engine soon lifht comes on and the air bag light goes off and on and stay s on for long periods of time... And of course when I called last week on the air bag... Lite it was.
Blazer was purchased in 1998, 1st problem in 1999-replaced mufflers.. 1999- replaced egr valve- 2000 replaced egr valve and catalytic con. & 2 oxygen sensors due to failure of egr valve...june 2000- another egr valve replaced & fuel injection system replaced- 2000 ; egr replaced and spark plugs and all wires replaced; 2001- need another egr valve -- all at cost to owner!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truck did start leaking gas from the tank, and am having that replaced now.
We have had this gas leak for sometime,not sure exactly how long because the gas odor was not very strong smelling or visibly leaking until 2days ago.
5 egr vlaves replaced, one every year. The cooling sysyem has failed having to be replaced and flushed twice in the last thirteen months and is still making the same noise we have heard for the last year and a half. The fuel injectors have been replaced twice in the last fourteen months ! The rotors have been resurfaced twice, replaced once and we still need to replace the pads every 8-12 months, regardless of milage. The extended warranty is up on this vehicle in one year. My question to chevrolet is who will incur these costs that both gm and the dealer admitted to being product problems !!!!
While driving on interstate vehicle started getting hot. When going up on incline and pressing on accelerator ,vehicle would not pick up speed. Also, a hole was burned in cargo area of vehicle, and metal part of seat belt got hot. Contacted dealer, and fuel line was replaced.
Vehicle showed a noticable decrease in gas mileage, also rough engine start and as many as six attempts to start engine, was advised by mechanic after performing diagnostic, found that the engine lost pressure at an accellerated rate, where it should have taken 25 to 30 minutes to loose 15 pounds of pressure, it took under 3 minutes, fuel pressire regulator has failed twice since ownership of vehicle-8-2-99 and 4-2-01.
Pulling into a parking lot, right ball joint broke. Also, when leaving a parking lot, fuel injector failed, causing hydraulic brakes are terrible.
Egr valve replaced. Cost over $400. Chevy only recalled 96 or newer and there has been over 60 complaints logged about this. When is there going to be a recall on the egr valve. I now need to replace it again. I have also complained to chevy regarding my brakes. I have had to replace my brakes every 6 months since I bought my car. The dealer told me brakes are not covered under warranty, that it is normal wear and tear of the vehicle. I have also been having problems with the fuel injection system. Other year vehicle have recalled these problems but not for the 1995 blazer.
Initially replaced egr valve in 1998, have replaced it 4 additional times (by chevy dealer) within two years. Build-up of carbon in the engine causing stalling, shaking and failure of engine in traffic. Brakes tend to stick as well. Erroneously charged for two fuel injectors that were not needed due to misdiagnosis of problem. Car has sat for last 3 weeks while attempting to contact chevy customer service at hq, was given promises of refunds, call backs and have not heard from anyone. Looked at this site and saw other owners with same problem, possible recall but we were not notified by the dealer or chevrolet. In addition both rear seat belts stopped working nearly two years ago where our young son often sits. Seeking possible legal action for reimbursement, replacement of vehicle or final repair of defects.
