Owner report 10185001 · 2007-03-13 (March 13, 2007)
BOUGHT A 95' T10 BLAZER TO PULL MY LITTLE BOAT BUT EVERY TIME I TAKE IT ABOVE 55 MPH THE EGR VALVE GETS CARBON STUCK IN IT AND MY BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS. I HAVE TALKED TO CHEVY AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME EXCEPT TAKE THE INTAKES OFF AND BLOW THEM OUT (500$). BUT I HAVE READ COUNTLESS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO BLAZER OWNERS AFTER THERE 95' WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. I WISH CHEVY WOULD FELL SOME REMORSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.*JB
