1995 Chevrolet Blazer 2WD

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1995 Blazer 2WD.

Transmission Automatic 4-spd

The 1995 Chevrolet Blazer 2WD arrived with a 4-speed automatic transmission, EPA ratings of 15/20/17 mpg, and a specified 4-quart fill of 5W-30 API engine oil. Within the 1990–2004 model run, this year stands as the most complained-about example of the generation, with 1,418 total owner complaints, 11 recalls, and a leading complaint area in Service Brakes, Hydraulic. That volume makes 1995 the peak reporting year in the model’s documented history, meaning researchers should treat it as the upper benchmark of owner concern rather than a typical reference point for the era.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 1995 Chevrolet Blazer 2WD dominate in one area — the service brakes, hydraulic, 467 of 1,418 reports (33%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 11 recall campaigns target the service brakes, hydraulic, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 165 of the reports describe a crash and 26 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the service brakes, hydraulic pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
