1995 CHEVROLET Blazer

i have had the Blazer for only 1 month and the transmission went out..

Wiring Harness caught fire in dashboard,due to substandard OEM wiring.Took out the computer,ignition and fuel pump.This is the 2nd time in 2 years this has happened.

Took 95 Blazer in for a standard brake job. Upon going home from work in the heat of the day, my brakes were locked up. I could not push down the brake pedal AT ALL. Almost hit 3 cars before able to pull over and call a tow. Was told they put on the wrong brake pads and shoes and they were replaced at no charge. Two days later, (things seemed OK), I was driving in the mountains of colorado (hwy) and turned off to a curving steep road. All of a sudden I had no brakes. I could not push down on the bake pedal AT ALL, again. I stoped the vehicle by downshifting and finally, the emergency brake. 5 minutes earlier and I would have been on a major curvey highway, packed with Saturday travelers. I calmed down and within a few minutes I had brake pedal action and my friend drove the car back to the shop knowing we did have emergency brakes. The mechanic couldn’t believe it and checked everything that could be associated with a brake problem and replaced my master cylinder at no charge. He kept the vehicle 2 days and drove it to make sure everything was OK. He had no problems. I got the vehicle back, assurred that EVERYTHING possible was checked out and nothing could be found wrong. The following day, I drove to work and on my way home, again in the heat of the day and about 20 minutes into the drive, my brakes failed for the 3rd time in 8 days, again with absolutely no pedal movement. I stopped using my emergency brake in 6 lane traffic going 40+ MPH. The car was towed back to the mechanic. Absolutley everything checks out including the ABS system computer sensors. I will never drive this vehicle again and am absolutely terrified of it (3 failures in 8 days). It is sitting in my garage because I don’t (and the mechanic) have no idea what could be causing this. I cannot sell it as is and desperately want this fixed.

The car surged and lost oxygen to brakes, etc. I have had exhaust system replaced, new tires, new computer e prom, egr valve cleaned numerous times, new injector unit installed, brakes replaced, total tuneup to try and rectify the problem. I still continue to have to have the carbon cleaned out of the EGR valve as the car will not run properly. I purchased the Blazer from Ricko Ent. Inc. 16 Moulton Rd, Rochester, NH, 03867.Also known as First City Motor Sales in Rochester NH. The owner, Richard Ottino agreed to cover the cost of repairs but never did. The total of repairs that I have paid to date is $1,266.00. I sent the Dealership a certified letter with all copies of the repair bills.

The brake pedal goes to floor unexpectedly the transmision seems to have broplems in shiftinhg and while driving it shifts from 2wd to 4wd on its own without touching anything

After driving my car continuosly for about 45 minutes, my windows were fogging up from conversation in the car. I turned on my rear defroster and within one minute of doing so, my rear window exploded.

Since there were so many failures, I cannot list all ther dates, I went through this before and all GM did was lie and con their way of lawsuits. They even(LOST) my records,how convenient! MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM is with the brakes! I bought this vehicle new and had problems since day one. My wife and I almost got killed when we dove across a busy highway(Cal 138-death highway)) when the brakes failed and did not hold. Somehow all the tractor trailors missed us. All GM did was hurt themselves in the long run. I have never purchased another GM vehicle since. I am now looking at the new Cadillac SRX, but have reservations. Besides, the Rally maintenance division is pure crap(2002). This vehicle has only 62,000 miles on it and has never been dependable.

Abs failure. all three abs isolation valves closed either at start of breaking or prior to braking cycle, resulting in no possible depression of the brake petal and absolutely no braking what so ever, literally none. the vehicle continues at whatever speed the vehicle was at before initiation of braking. this no brake condition happened intermittently as speeds from 15mph to highway speeds. upon releasing break pressure (taking one's foot of the petal) and reapplying the breaks the left front abs isolation valve would de-energize and give the driver the left front break only. this failure was intermittent over the last year and not witnessed by me until 1/13/2018. the abs fuse was removed and the brakes remain without abs function. this is a major failure that could have caused a deadly accident and most probably has. but, since it is intermittent and dead people can't testify you probably do not have much of a data base. also, as an engineer myself, this is a catastrophic failure that should precipitate the complete deactivation of automated functions of all vehicles worldwide until such time as all automated functions can be overridden by manual inputs without failure to comply with manual inputs.

Background: purchased used blazer approx 2 years ago. "anti-lock brakes" dash light has always been on. i am good diy and very experienced mechanic with appropriate tools. i have tried off and on since i purchased the vehicle to solve this issue. i even have replaced all brakes and master cylinder. problem: i came upon safecar.gov last night and found several recall notices on my type of vehicle, to include anti-lock brakes. i called the chevy customer service number for recalls and explained the above paragraph. after i stated i found the recalls on safecar.gov and wanted to check if my specific vehicle had any outstanding recalls, i was promptly told that safecar.gov is not an authorized or approved chevy website. it was inferred to me by the operator by her tone (though very polite) and language that safecar.gov is some rogue website that should be paid no mind. this had me concerned because obviously safecar.gov is a nhtsa website and i am sure the recalls listed are accurate. the operator then looked up my vin and stated there were no outstanding recalls on my vehicle. this truck me as odd because the recalls on brakes i found described how my vehicle reacts with the braking system. i am not trying to get something for nothing. if there were/are really no recalls on my vehicle¦.than so be it, no problem. however, with the way safecar.gov was brushed aside by the operator, it makes me wonder if in fact there were recalls and chevy is just trying to save from repairing older model vehicles that were not brought in by previous owners. thank you. *tr

Gas tank failure-- corrosion

Two occurrences: car was started when warm, and quickly throttled up to high rpms. mechanic disconnected electrical connections, and replaced alternator. six months later, car started normally when warm, and throttled to high rpms after traveling 30 feet, headed toward pedestrians. applying both brakes stopped the car, but motor continued to throttle, until ignition turned off. car started normally a minute later, and i parked after driving uneventfully two blocks with hand on ignition key. i'm afraid to drive it again, until diagnosed. *jb

I have had extreme braking problems that are still not fixed. under normal city driving conditions, brakes are very slow to stop regardless of how much pressure i put on them and occasionally lock up. i must release the brake pedal and pump it to catch so the car will come to a stop. 2 months ago, a woman stopped at the last minute in front of me. i hit my brakes with more than enough room to stop (2-3 car lengths). they locked up and made their normal grinding noise. i hit her car causing damage to both vehicles. last month, while trying to slow down to pay at a toll booth, i had to literally stand on my brake pedal to stop the truck. the toll booth attendant jumped out of the booth in fear that i was going to crash. the same thing happens coming off the highway at 45 miles per hour. i can't get another vehicle, but this one is going to kill my children and i. i have replaced the booster, pads twice, rotors, and the thing attached to the booster. have i missed a recall? help me!!*jb

I had the egr valve replaced because there was problems with my vehicle running terrible and killing in traffic. it was replaced free because there was a bulletin, i really wonder if it was replaced on 10/01 because almost 1 year later 9/02 i started having the same problems again and it cost me $272 to have it fixed and once again as of 10/11/05 computer diagnostic reveals that the egr is sticking again and it's going to cost $375,could i have possible gotten a defective egr on 10/01. also, i have had this problem with my blazer shortly after i purchased it . when driving on uneven surface it sounds as if something is cracking and trying to fall to pieces in the front and the steering is loose and pulls to one side, even after a front end alignment and rotation and balance, the problem is not corrected. i actually had 1 of many front end alignment and rotation done on 10/07/05 and my front end problem has gotten much,much worse than usually. i am almost scared to drive it. *jb

Dt: 1995 chevrolet trailblazer. the consumer states the insurance adjuster told him the cable that holds the spare tire underneath the vehicle broke. when it broke the tire bounced on the road and landed in the weeds. the consumer was trying to have this fixed. the consumer has not contacted the manufacturer about the problem.*ak

One of the oil cooler hoses came off the crimp causing the vehicle to lose all oil and pressure. vehicle shut down in the middle of a curve, causing owner to lose control of the vehicle (but luckily regain it). engine is a complete loss and will be costing us thousands of dollars to replace. this really seems to be a manufacturer issue, as the crimp method used for this high pressure (and highly important) hose is of a type that does not seem reliable. the shop that is holding our car, pending our decision on what we can do about this problem, has indicated they have had one or two other blazers in their shop in the last year with the same problem occurring - and that they noted at the time that the crimp method, without barbs to give extra grab to the hose - seems to be the contributing factor. i would really like to see chevrolet take responsibility for this manufacturing defect - if the hose had been attached in a reliable method, this problem would not have occurred. this is very dangerous.*ak

The brake pedal pivot bolt was started in the weld nut, but was not torqued correctly causing the bolt to disengage from the weld nut. however, this is a recall. the recall # is 94v242000. please provide any further information. also, please provide correct date of incident.*ak

Took 95 blazer in for a standard brake job. upon going home from work in the heat of the day, my brakes were locked up. i could not push down the brake pedal at all. almost hit 3 cars before able to pull over and call a tow. was told they put on the wrong brake pads and shoes and they were replaced at no charge. two days later, (things seemed ok), i was driving in the mountains of colorado (hwy) and turned off to a curving steep road. all of a sudden i had no brakes. i could not push down on the bake pedal at all, again. i stoped the vehicle by downshifting and finally, the emergency brake. 5 minutes earlier and i would have been on a major curvey highway, packed with saturday travelers. i calmed down and within a few minutes i had brake pedal action and my friend drove the car back to the shop knowing we did have emergency brakes. the mechanic couldn't believe it and checked everything that could be associated with a brake problem and replaced my master cylinder at no charge. he kept the vehicle 2 days and drove it to make sure everything was ok. he had no problems. i got the vehicle back, assurred that everything possible was checked out and nothing could be found wrong. the following day, i drove to work and on my way home, again in the heat of the day and about 20 minutes into the drive, my brakes failed for the 3rd time in 8 days, again with absolutely no pedal movement. i stopped using my emergency brake in 6 lane traffic going 40+ mph. the car was towed back to the mechanic. absolutley everything checks out including the abs system computer sensors. i will never drive this vehicle again and am absolutely terrified of it (3 failures in 8 days). it is sitting in my garage because i don't (and the mechanic) have no idea what could be causing this. i cannot sell it as is and desperately want this fixed.

Soy propietario de una blazer 95 traccion de dos ruedas, automatica. vivo en guatemala, centro america. el domingo 22 de junio a eso de las17:00 hrs, era una tarde lluviosa y transitaba por la autopista interamericana aia (la que atraviesa america) en direccion a la ciudad de guatemala, a una velocidad aproximada de 80 kms/h (50 miles/h) cuando al tomar una curva facil y abierta perdi la direccion del timon como si el carro estuviera flotando, el carro empezo a rigar como un trompo, en el sentido de las agujas del reloj, se salio de la carretera del lado derecho, se volco sobre el costado derecho y se arrastro 10 mts en esa posicion. viajaba con mi esposa, una empleada y mis tres hijos (8 a?os, 4 a?os y 9meses) afortunadamente solo hubo golpes y dolores de cuello. on sunday, june 22, at 5:00 p.m., there was an afternoon rain and i was traveling on the transamerica highway aia (which crosses america) going towards guatemala city, at approximately 80 kilometers/hour (50 miles/h). when taking a gentle and open curve, i lost control of the wheel, as if the vehicle was floating. the vehicle began to spin like a top, clockwise, and went off the right side of the highway. it turned over on its right side and slid for 10 meters in this position. i was traveling with my wife, an employee, and my three children (8 years, 4 years, and 9 months). fortunately, we only suffered bruises and neck pains. i've always been aware that the blazer is an extremely unstable vehicle; i've also experienced the brake pedal inexplicably going to the floor; and that the alternator of these vehicles goes out before 40,000 kilometers. my theory of the accident: a dangerous and unstable vehicle encounters all of the necessary elements: water on the pavement, and small curve, and a speed that the vehicle does not tolerate, precisely because of the vehicle's instability.

The car surged and lost oxygen to brakes, etc. i have had exhaust system replaced, new tires, new computer e prom, egr valve cleaned numerous times, new injector unit installed, brakes replaced, total tuneup to try and rectify the problem. i still continue to have to have the carbon cleaned out of the egr valve as the car will not run properly. i purchased the blazer from ricko ent. inc. 16 moulton rd, rochester, nh, 03867.also known as first city motor sales in rochester nh. the owner, richard ottino agreed to cover the cost of repairs but never did. the total of repairs that i have paid to date is $1,266.00. i sent the dealership a certified letter with all copies of the repair bills.

Abs malfunctioned, resulting in extended stopping distance. abs recall 99i006000 was issued, but this vehicle was not included in the recall due to vin. *ak the consumer was involved in an accident on 4/16/04 because he was not able to stop the vehicle. he spent alot of money trying to repair the vehicle but the brakes are still not functioning properly. *nm

We have had numerous problems with the egr valve being clogged!now we have had problems with the fuel system.we have had the fuel pump changed, and now it's back in the shop due to the spider.the abs brakes also don't work properly.are there recalls due to the fuel system?*ak

I bought the vehicle new in 95, within the first two years the transmission went out on a cross country trip in the middle of nowhere over a weekend no less. i had to wait till monday for the dealership to open. i was told that the vacuum seal for the reverse casing was thrown into the other gears leaving me only with 1st & i was on an interstate in the middle of a tunnel under the bay when it went out, not a good place to be. i have since rebuilt the tranmission again. yes 2 transmissons. i have had 2 egr valves go out a few hundred $ each time. the transmisson mounts and motor mounts have busted (maybe due to a car wreck but not sure). i have also had to replace the combo switch (for hazards, gear shift, blinkers and wipers) twice and now have to due it for a third time. the part alone is $250-$300. the first two times i had to replace it was for the hazard light button braking. the 3rd time the button broke again (just by turning on the hazards) and i have been getting by without replacing it by taping it down (otherwise the hazards are on 24/7) but know i have to replace it because there was a short in it that make my brake lights stop working when i press on the brake pedal. i also can't count how many times the abs have locked on me. it seems that any time i turn the wheel or hit a bump in the road while braking the abs locks. i have been blessed to have avoided collisions on these cases but not by much. while looking on this site i have found that there has been a recall on the abs brakes and a few other things, yet i have never been notified by gmc for any of the recalls listed here. the only thing i ever received was a recall on the back seat belt which i don't even see listed here. i have found that when ever something goes wrong with my car that it is never a simple thing to fix, it is always a major thing. i think that gmc really needs to take more time in effort to test there vehicles. there's a lot of the same complaints on this site alone.

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. *nlm

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. *jb

Egr valve & oxygen sensors problem the above mentioned items have been identified as a problem with these vehicles by dealer & private mechanics. a service bulletin was sent out in 1997 with a summary that provides if nothing else a temporary fix. i have spent several hundred dollars fixing this problem over the last 5 years and would like to have some type of reimbursement, preferably a recall to have it fixed permanently. i have viewed others comments on this vehicle and it is an overall problem. seems like the manufacturer is not taking any responsibility. since your questions below do not prvide room for explanation in the crash column, i would like to remind everyone that when these valves get clogged up the vehicle literally seizes. just stops, nice thought! my personal mechanic has recommended that when the vehicle starts clugging (as it will), prior to seizing up & just stopping in the middle of the road, (as it has already done), bring it in, (we will clean it out). who's fault will an accident be? that repair could be to the tune of $100.00 depending on if anything else was affected by this. this problem has been identified, and still nothing is done about it. currently we are a two car family with 2 teenagers in the market. chevrolet dealers will not be on my list to visit. for this problem you would need a reacurring incident date.*ak

While driving, the vehicle's service lights comes on, and the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. this results in extended stopping distance. the dealership have replaced several parts and bleed the brakes, but the problem still exit. ph

On three separate occasions when we were coming to a stop at a light ---- as we pressed on the brake pedal the engine revved up to approximately 2500 rpm. this made stopping the vehicle a lot more difficult & could feel the anti-lock breaks working to stop the car. luckily, there was never a vehicle in front of us in each of the instances ---- but we're not sure if this could eventually lead to a future accident. my confidence with the dealerships is not very high in diagnosing this problem if they can't re-create it or if it didn't sent a check engine light code. they would just charge me for their diagnostic efforts. note: i also recently has high revving problems with this vehicle within the last few months, but they were at start-up & it sent a trouble code. after three trips to the dealership with a iac valve and pcm replacement bill --- they alleviated the problem. this seems to be something else & much more dangerous. *nlm

We purchased a 95 chevy blazer from a dealer used at the end of october 2002. less than 60 days later, the oil cooler line fell apart and all oil drained from the engine in 30-60 seconds, causing complete engine failure. the vehicle seized up in trafic in a dangerous area and there was not time to drive to a safe area to inspect the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who told us that this was a factory defect and suggested that we contact the dealer as the engine must be replaced. the dealer contacted chevrolet who has declined all responsibility and knowledge of this problem, yet there are numerous consumer complaints about the oil hose. despite the fact that the vehicle was purchased less than 60 days before, we now are facing a repair bill that is half the cost of the vehicle and the dealer's response was "too bad."
