NHTSA recall 99 V 193 000/manufacturer's recall 99041 concerning ABS: Vehicle does not stop when brakes are applied, consumer received a recall notice, and was informed by dealer nothing was wrong after test driving vehicle.. consumer also stated that the first problem that she encountered was that the 4-wheel drive did not work, the power booster was replaced, however consumer is still experiencing braking problems.
While driving at a high speed vehicle will suddenly engage into 4 wheel driving, causing a sudden decrease in speed and jerking. Dealer has been contacted.
The engine loses power while driving. I almost hit the vehicle in front of me because I could not stop the car. The vacuum to the brakes is lost. The RPM changes rapidly and the engine sputters. I called Chevrolet's customer service center and they had no knowledge of this problem for this make/model. I took the car to the dealership after just bringing in the repair for a recall notice for the ABS brake system transfer case switch and vacuum switch repair and they hooked up a computer to the code reader slot and saw that there was problems with the egr valve. The technician gunned the engine a few to times claiming that he was clearing the valve of a piece of stuck carbon. It went away at the dealership but the problem showed up on the road 5 minutes later. They claim that they have seen this problem in numerous S10 Chevrolet Blazer and they recommend replacing the part. I claim that this is a danger to all 1995 S10 Blazer owners and the part should be re-designed to prevent this from occurring if they have so many issues with it. The part by the way cost around $300~400 in the chicagoland area.
While driving in two wheel drive vehicle would shift by itself into four- wheel drive. Dealer notified. Some repairs and part replacements were made. Condition still reoccurring.
Transfer motor failed then the transfer case seal between the transmission failed with no warning or noise. Fluid level in the transmission dropped to below the dipstick and damage occured to the transmission and transfer case. Drivers sealt belt does not fully retract when released causing it to often get caught in the door. Over the past few years the belt shows tears from getting caught in the door.

The component allowing you to change to 4- wheel drive failed. When it did, it caused the vehicle wheels to lock at slow speed, and the vehicle to slide through stop signs. I have the part if someone wants to test it.
Vehicle shifted out of park while running, cosumer was informed by manufacturer/dealer that the vehicle could not shift unless brake pedal was depressed.
