Three problems related to engine have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I had valve noise and took to local dealer to check. Dealer called and told me it needed a valve job. After the valve job dealer told me there was noise in lower part of engine and thought the motor needed to be replaced. This 1999 Blazer has 68,000 miles on it. I feel gm should cover part of this expense. Dealer would not help with this.
The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Blazer. While depressing the brake pedal at 5 mph, the vehicle surged forward without warning. The mechanic was unable to diagnose the cause of failure. The contact stated that she experienced the same failure immediately after leaving the mechanic. The vehicle was taken to another mechanic who stated that the multi-port fuel injection system needed to be replaced. He replaced the part, but the failure continued. The mechanic stated that the vehicle may need to have its spark plugs replaced or cleaned. The spark plugs have not been replaced. Approximately three days later, the vehicle failed to start. The mechanic stated that the multi-port fuel injection was defective and replaced the unit, but the failure continued. The vehicle surged forward and became increasingly worse. The current mileage is 150,000 and failure mileage was 130,000.
After noticing that I was loosing anifreeze in my vehicle, I recently had to replace the intake gaskets in my 1999 chevy Blazer. It has just over 40,000 miles. After doing research, I've found out that this is a commom problem w/ the gm vehicles and that there are thousands of people who have had to spend hundreds of dollars in repairs to have this fixed. It conveniently happens just after the warrenty period has expired. This is clearly unfair to the consumer and I would like to know why gm has not been forced to correct this problem.
