Engine check light problem is an ongoing issue with both current and former owner. 3 different mechanics put ther scanners on the vehicle and keep bringing up the oxygen sensor as the problem. Had one bad sensor at the wiring harness plug which was poorly assembled at the factor causing water to get to the contacts and contaminated the connector. Replaced all 4 O2 sensors and still cannot get the check engine light to go away. Vehicle performs perfect along with 24 mpg gas one highway driving. This is an issues other Blazer owners are experiencing. GM should be held accountable to fix this issue.

The engine continues to cut off if the vehicle has been drived for more that 30 minutes and the A/C is running. The engine light does not come on nor are there any warnings that the vehicle is going to die. Dealer cannot identify any problem because computer isn't registering any issues. The egr valve was replaced but problem continues.
