1999 Chevrolet Blazer fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Oil lines are leaking. Seems this is a very big problem with gm over the past decade. Why has there never been a recall for this problem.. And why are the newer models (after 2000) coming out with the same defect ?!
The vehicles fuel injection system did not work.
While driving on clear dry express, the gas line blew off at the gas tank. On my 1999 chevrolet blazer VIN # [xxx].

Dealer stated on 9/26/200 that fuel pump was faulty. Replaced this...auto still did not work. Dealer stated maybe a faulty fuel pump was sent, ordered a 2nd, put this one in. Again, auto did not run. After the 1st one was installed, vehicle was released to me, 1.5 hours later, I was again stranded. Dealership said it was a cpi, something within the fuel injector system. That was replaced. It wasn't the problem. They finally stated it was 3 injectors within this unit. Those were replaced and my vehicle returned to me. Auto was in the shop from 9/26/2000 until 10/10/2000. On 10/12/2000, on route 33 westbound, my accerlerator stuck, my brakes did not work, vehicle was doing 95 MPH. I gained control of vehicle and got it stopped. It was towed from logan, ohio to columbus where I leased it from. As of right now, it's driveable, but not fixed. The dealership did secure the cruise control cable away from accerlerator so that I could drive it. I had to pay for a rental from 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. They refused to give me a loner car or rental from them. I am still afraid to drive this, I've had too much bad luck the last few weeks with it. I'm fighting with gm to be reimbursed for the rental, total amount is $533. I would like to get out of this lease, have my lease transferred to something else. As far as I know, there are no recalls on the 1999 chevrolet blazers, but I would like to know if there is any. It just seems its falling apart on me!!
Once again, vehicle stopped running and low fuel light came on and gas indicator was on 'e'. Diagnosis: fuel pump shorted out. This left my wife and I stranded for the entire weekend.
Low fuel light came on and gas indicator was on 'e'. Diagnosis: fuel pump shorted out. This left my wife and I stranded in nc for 1 day.
When filling completely gas tank with fuel there is a very strong odor within the passenger compartment. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer unable to determine the cause.
Complete brake failure, due to turning steering wheel all the way to the left over a period of time which caused damage to brake hose and loss of fluid. Mjs
2 months into owning this vehicle the upper console digital temperature read out went bad. Upon replacing it twice it is still malfunctioning. They have even replaced the sensor on the front grill to no avail. At one oil change the vehicle was returned to me with a crooked hood. The lock assembly had slid over 1/2 inch. It caused the hood and the fender to meet and the two metals slammed together caused a scratch on both parts in the paint. The lock assembly was returned to it's original position. Upon informing the dealer that the vehicle was "slipping" when in gear I was given a verbal driving lesson. I have been driving the chevrolet s-10 blazer since 1992 and this is the 3rd one I have aquired. After bringing in a third party the locking differential, all fluids, and seals were replaced, thus fixing the issue. At 4000 miles my engine "burned out" 3 of 6 fuel injectors with no explaination. I have been made aware of several other vehicles of the same year and model being brought in for the same issues. There are several other small issues, little buttons falling out, cover plates popping out of place, etc. But you do not have a box for these issues. The owner of this dealership is very aware of the issues I have come across as I have been a customer of this dealership for 3 years and have removed 3 vehicles from this dealership. Thank you for your time.
Fuel injectors fouled and vehicle would not run. One injector was replaced, others were cleaned. Dealer stated it was bad fuel and to use only mobil gas, chevron was no good. Chevron was contacted and they said it was a known defect in the injection system. Chevrolet was contacted and they said there was no problem. Fuel mileage started going down after repairs. Car was again towed at 8,900 miles, dealer stated that it was out of fuel, which would mean the car is now only getting 10-miles per gallon. Dealer stated that this was okay and the computer would tell them if anything was wrong. No solution offered, no test other than checking the computer for codes was performed. This dealer stated to only run shell gas, all others present a problem. Again, chevron states that this is a known problem with the injectors. The epa allows a car to get this kind of mileage without reporting it to the public?
My blazer has stalled repeatedly during the six months I have owned it. There appear to be no commonalities between the incidents. Sometimes it's in an intersection. At other times I'm driving. At other times I am sitting in park. This is a major safety hazard, and my dealership has still not isolated the problem, although it has already been in at least four times for this. They did replace a fuel pump the last time, but that apparently wasn't the problem.
Vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to a independent repair shop. Fuel pump and sending unit had melted. Fuel pump and the sending unit were replaced. Dealer and manufcturer have been notified.
Vehicle is sold as having 18 gallon tank. When gauge is on empty (and low fuel warning is on) takes only 13 gallons to fill tank. Dealer has previously replace fuel sensor. I suspect vehicle has 15 gallon tank.
