Lighting-headlights - while driving at night, my headlights (both low and highbeam) will go off altogether a few seconds after I switch to my highbeams. After emergency stopping due to lack of vision, it comes back on after sitting a few moments only to happen again and again. This is a very serious defect that almost caused a head on collision and my family to loose our lives. 2) parking brake - while parked in 4 wheel drive, motor off, on a close to flat surface, my Blazer's emergency brake disengages and my vehicle has to be moved back into its paking place. Electrical system:battery - battery goes dead if I leave my door open for 10 minutes to sweep out the inside. Even after factory battery was replaced for the same reason. Exhauste system: cvs valve replaced soon after driving off the showroom floor at dealership. …
ABS braking problems. Tt consumer experienced braking problems when go to apply brakes they will grab and there is some delay and lack of control this has happened on four different occasion in which two of the resulted in accidents, also rear windshield wiper was replaced, and rivets on the fan belt were replaced as part of a recall, also head rest has a split, and when engine is warm engine runs at 3000 RPM.
Consumer stated that while driving and without warning, the EGR valve failed, which caused the brakes to fail. Dealer notified. 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 …
On 8/31/99 I tried to put on my windshield wipers in a heavy rain storm and they did not work. I waited for a while and they finally started. I brought the car to my mechanic after an inspection they said it was the windshield wiper motor. They pull up a recall from Chevy dated 9/98 for this same problem. I contact steve moore who look up my VIN number and said that even though this was the exact thing as the recall called for, my vehicle was not in that VIN batch. I find this hard to believe the exact same thing and they would do nothing about this. I have sent them a letter requesting a refund of the amount of repair and have had no response. What would have happen if I was with my 2 children it a heavy storm and these wipers just quit. I feel this is a real unjustice to anyone in my position. All I want is for them to pay for this repair. …
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.
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 windshied wipers fails to work properly. When in use, would be sometimey. Causes driver to have poor visibility. The ABS brakes would lock up when applied. Would feel like they're sticking. Causes extended stopping distance. Vehicle is also leaking fuel from rear end pump shaft. The engine would roar & feels like its racing. Will be taking vehicle to dealer to have all problems dealt with.
Windshield wipers malfunction from time to time and problem is intermittent. Owner took vehicle to dealers, and problem was found in windshield wiper module. Problem has been fixed. Rear glass would not open, dealer found fuse blown and replaced faulty fuse, courtesy light and lighter fuse also blew, possible problem with electrical fuses, dealer installed ecc valve.
