This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The egr system continualy failed numerous times. When this failure happened, the idle would flucuate wildly resulting in the loss of the engine vacuum and the loss of power brakes. This happened over 5 times, thankfully on uncrowded streets. The car would often have little to no stopping power when below 20-25 mph. Often I would have to apply the emergency brake to stop the car. The problem was fixed with a replacement of the egr valve, but hopefully this horrible problem wil not occur again. Currently I am in the process of trying to get Chevrolet to pay for the replacement, since apparantly this is a result of their bad fuel injectors. Chevrolet has just issued a recall on their fuel injectors which apparantly failed, and lead to carbon buildup on the egr, which causes this tremendous safety problem. Through my own research on other website, such as msn carpoint, it states the the 94-96 models with this enginer report egr and fuel injector replacement. This is a huge safety issue Chevrolet should take responsibility for. Thank you.
