Power trainAutomatic transmissionMay 16, 1994, Campaign 94V093000
SIGNIFICANT WEAR CAN DEVELOP ON THE LOW AND REVERSE CLUTCH PREVENTING THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING. THIS CAN PREVENT A "NO PARK" CONDITION TO OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OPERATOR ACTION. (THE "NO PARK" CONDITION WILL NOT OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF.)
Risk
UNINTENTIONAL VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR CONTAMINATION WHICH WILL INDICATE IF THE LOW OR REVERSE CLUTCH IS WORN. IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWS CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED.
All recalls issued for this model year. To see whether any are still unrepaired on a specific vehicle, check its VIN at NHTSA.

IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE OF BREAKING THEN WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER IF THEY ARE 6 OR 8 LUG.

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TAKE EFFECT. I READ IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1999 TO 2003 GM SUV'S. MY QUESTION IS, WAS THERE EVER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1993 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZERS AND IF NOT IS THERE A CHANCE OF GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED BY GM AT THEIR EXPENSE CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE.*JB

THE DOORS AND LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. I BOUGHT A NEW 1993 CHEV BLAZER. IN 1995 THE BACK STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPEN. I COULD OPEN THE WINDOW BUT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. NEXT IN 1997 THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ANY MORE. IT IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. NOW THE DRIVER DOOR IS STICKING. OUT OF 5 DOORS ONLY 2 WORK CORRECTLY.

I HAVE A 93 S10 BLAZER AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. THE ECMB FUSE WAS BLOWN AND WOULD BLOW OUT WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD BE TURNED ON. I FINALLY TRACKED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN I REMOVED THE GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT THE FUEL PUMP, THE WIRE INSIDE THE TANK WERE WELDED TOGETHER AND THE PLUG ON THE END OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS MELTED (FUSED) TOGETHER. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT THESE INTERNAL COMPONENTS CAN GET HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THEY COULD EASILY CAUSE THE TANK TO EXPLODE. ALSO THE WIRING IS ATTACHED TO THE SENDING UNIT AND TO REPLACE BOTH OF THESE COMPONENTS IT WILL COST OVER $600 JUST FOR PARTS. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND A NASTY HAZARD, SOMEBODY MAY BE KILLED. *JB
