The oil cooler line (4.3W) on my Chevy S10 Blazer came out of the crimp and caused considerable damage to my engine. The dealer who sold and does work on this vehicle says it is not their fault and the repair price tag is quite a large sum! I would like to know why and how can Chevy let a "defect" of this magnitude go unnoticed! I do not feel it is my responsibility to pay for this repair!

We've gone through 4 egr valves now. Every time we drive for extended highway miles, the valve sticks open causing the vehicle to run rough at low speeds. The vehicle, in a nearly stalled state, hesitates when I accelerate - making a merge into oncoming traffic very dangerous. Our vehicle hasn't stalled yet but that's because we avoid driving the vehicle whenever this happens. Tapping on the egr valve with a wrench unclogs the valve but it only sticks again the next time we go on the highway. We're afraid that vehicle may stall during an emergency breaking situation.
