While driving at any speed transmission disengages from overdrive without any warning,cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Dealership stated linkage arm from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive probably froze up.
The evaporator housing is brittle and is cracking due to mold and poor drainage, this causes a bad odor to come from the vents.

While driving at a high speed vehicle will suddenly engage into 4 wheel driving, causing a sudden decrease in speed and jerking. Dealer has been contacted.
Consumer noticed a whining noise, dealer said transmission would have to be replaced due to the metal being scored from the gears grinding into it.
Problems with the dip stick has corroded and has gotten into the transmission and is causing problems with the transmission
The engine loses power while driving. I almost hit the vehicle in front of me because I could not stop the car. The vacuum to the brakes is lost. The RPM changes rapidly and the engine sputters. I called chevrolet's customer service center and they had no knowledge of this problem for this make/model. I took the car to the dealership after just bringing in the repair for a recall notice for the ABS brake system transfer case switch and vacuum switch repair and they hooked up a computer to the code reader slot and saw that there was problems with the egr valve. The technician gunned the engine a few to times claiming that he was clearing the valve of a piece of stuck carbon. It went away at the dealership but the problem showed up on the road 5 minutes later. They claim that they have seen this problem in numerous s10 chevrolet blazers and they recommend replacing the part. I claim that this is a danger to all 1995 s10 blazer owners and the part should be re-designed to prevent this from occurring if they have so many issues with it. The part by the way cost around $300~400 in the chicagoland area.
Brake linings had to be replaced at 30,000 miles and just about every 30,000 miles after that. The rear end went out at about 72,000 miles and had to be replaced at a cost of about $1800. We were on a trip from kentucky to alabama on june 23,2000, and the power brake booster went out. We were forced to travel with brakes that sounded like there was a horrible air leak every time you applied them, and the pedal went to the floor. The ABS light had come on in june, 1999, but we had recently paid $1800 for replacement of the rear end, and were told that our regular brakes would do fine, so we waited. When we heard that a recall had been called on that ABS system we called the dealer numerous times, but they always said that they hadn't received any information from gm about it yet. We finally got a recall notice in the mail about 2 weeks ago, almost a year after it was announced. When the rear end went out, we had been hearing a strange rumbling noise that got progressively louder. We took the car to severral local mechanics, but they couldn't find anything wrong. After a few weeks we took it to the dealer and they had to replace the whole rear end. Now it is beginning to make the same sound, and they will check that tomorrow. They took my car today to check the brakes and said that the power brake booster was bad and the master cylinder was bad. That alone will cost over $700. They said that the whole ABS module was bad, and if we want that fixed it will be about $1000 dollars more. If they decide that the rear end is bad again, that will add another $1800 dollars again, I guess. This vehicle has been driven mainly by me and my husband (51 & 52 yrs old)-- around town and on the highway to visit our kids and pick up grandkids. It has not been misused, and has had all maintenance work done.
While using the high beams, the headlights go off completely intermittently.
Auto transmission seized up. Nlm
Was dragging and clunking its' way into auto-2nd gear - lurching at any speed, and wouldn't go over 50 or 55 even on highway. Had to have the engine re-built.

When starting vehicle starts in too high of gear. No power, no pickup.
While driving in two wheel drive vehicle would shift by itself into four- wheel drive. Dealer notified. Some repairs and part replacements were made. Condition still reoccurring. *ak
Transmission will slip out of gear causing engine to freely rev with no acceleration. Taken to 3 dealers and 1 independent shop with no one able to determine what is wrong. Vehicle is only able to hold 2nd gear up to 30 MPH before it slips out ,causing the speedometer to drop to 10 and the ABS light to activate
While travelling at normal highway speed on I-44, right rear wheel snapped off vehicle. Upon inspection, it was apparent that the lug studs sheared at the axleshaft. Note that wheel had been on vehicle for about 6000 miles prior to this incident; thus I
Transmission failed due to dipstick tube being too close to A/C evaporator core which causes condensation inside dipstick tube. This in turn caused rust inside the transmission causing my transmission to go out. We had to have transmission rebuilt which was very expensive!! Mechanic said he sees a lot of blazer come in with transmission failure due to the same problem I had. I think something needs to be done about this. Why should I have to pay for something when the problem is due to poor design?!? I've seen several new commercials for chevrolet say "we'll be there" well I think you should do something about this problem!! It cost me a good bit of money to correct the mistake chevrolet made. Something needs to be done.
Consumer experiencing ongoing problem with two transmission experiencing failure. Dealer was notified and refusd to repair unless cost goes to consumer.
Rust has developed in the dip stick and in the dip stick tube which has caused dirt to get into the transmission fluid, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Transfer motor failed then the transfer case seal between the transmission failed with no warning or noise. Fluid level in the transmission dropped to below the dipstick and damage occured to the transmission and transfer case. Drivers sealt belt does not fully retract when released causing it to often get caught in the door. Over the past few years the belt shows tears from getting caught in the door. Belt will only fully retract if you manualy assist it.

The component allowing you to change to 4- wheel drive failed. When it did, it caused the vehicle wheels to lock at slow speed, and the vehicle to slide through stop signs. I have the part if someone wants to test it.
This vehicle needed 2 transmission replacements. We purchased the car used with 25,000 miles on the odometer. When the transmission failed at 73,000 miles on the odometer, the mechanic that completed replacing the transmission, informed us that the transmission had already been replaced once. The vehicle has had 2 major transmission problems, and the transmissions seemed to fail with only 25,000 to 50,000 miles on them! Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
