Passenger side mirror fell off door while driving, and was hanging by the electrical wires. I am aware of another newer model blazer which had the same thing happen. I also have noticed several blazers in my area with no mirror on the passenger side door and have even seen both mirrors gone. Currently I'm noticing the driver's side mirror beginning to shake while driving. I called the dealership to investigate and was told there were no recalls or recorded related incidents. That same person then told me a call just came in prior to mine asking about the same problem.

The windshield wipers failed intermittently while in use. There was a recall for this problem (03v15900) but the trucks VIN number was outside the remedy scope.
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.

Windshield wipers intermittently work, causing consumer to lose visibility there is a recall, 98v150001, for this problem, but this VIN is not included.*ak
Windshield wipers work only sporadically. They regularly stop at all settings. I have had to pull over and manually start them by moving them with my hands. I understand there has been a recall on other blazers for this problem but mine is not included. I would like to find out if my vehicle is included or why it is not.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
Windshield wipers were working intermittently and then finally stopped working all together. I took the vehicle in to have it checked and they tried to fix it with a part and that didn't fix the problem. They then input my information into alldata and saw a recall for most 1995 blazers for the windshield wiper motor. Unfortunately chevrolet is saying that it does not include my VIN #. They say this particular recall starts with 103 and mine is 102. I would like to have this information updated to include my vehicle. I am getting my car fixed but would like to have a reimbursement happen at some point.
