Oct 15, 2026Electrical system 1. Vehicle completely shut off at a stoplight during the nighttime. The vehicle lost all power including lights, hazard lights, horn and electrical system. Would not start back up for several minutes while sitting in the middle of the highway during the nighttime, creating an immediate safety hazard in traffic. Vehicle self-corrected after a few minutes.
Sep 9, 2026Service brakes I had no warning or indication whatsoever that my battery was going bad. I was at a major red light and my car shut down, then started back on its on with the entire panel lite up. The light changed and when I tried to turn I had hardly any stirring and almost no brakes. I almost ran into the car in front of me. I was able to get it into a parking spot and then it still gave me no light or notice of a battery issue. Because it had a recall on it that was repaired four days prior I had it towed to the dealership. They told me it was the battery but even when I picked up the car (for AAA to install the battery), it still showed 13.6% power on a 14 volt battery. This issue almost caused me to…
Sep 20, 2026 · 83,000 milesElectrical system The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that upon coming to a complete stop, the vehicle shut off. After several attempts, the vehicle was restarted, and the contact continued to drive. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the failure was not duplicated; however, the dealer suggested that the fuel pump driver control module be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 83,000.
Sep 30, 2026Power train I am reporting a severe powertrain safety hazard involving my 2022 Chevrolet Blazer at approximately 69,000 miles. The vehicle's 9-speed transmission is experiencing a critical internal hydraulic failure that causes unpredictable and violent lurching. Specifically, there is a severe delayed engagement when shifting into Reverse. The engine revs without moving until the hydraulic pressure suddenly spikes, causing the vehicle to violently slam backwards and catch the gear. Furthermore, the transmission exhibits harsh and slipping shifts while driving forward, specifically violently jerking during the 2nd-to-3rd gear upshift. âThese exact symptoms align with widely documented hydraulic…
Sep 17, 2026 · 12,000 milesElectrical system The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that after the dealer had performed a software update under TSB Number: N212355740, the computer blew up. The contact was informed of the failure, provided a loaner vehicle, and advised that the manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The dealer was awaiting a callback from the manufacturer before performing further repairs. The contact expressed concerns and dissatisfaction that the dealer had recently confirmed the vehicle was covered under the TSB, but the manufacturer had failed to send a notification of the TSB. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.
Aug 18, 2026Steering "Steering Assist is Reduced, Drive With Care" showed up on the dashboard. The temperature gauge dropped to dead cold. Once the car was parked and cut off, the fan still kept running for 5 minutes. From my research it seems these are the signs of a thermostat being stuck open. It also seems this is a very common problem with this car, according to the internet. This vehicle has around 70K miles. There were no other issues prior to this failure.
Jul 15, 2026Power train While driving on the road at/or about 45 mph to my workplace, the transmission gave out and lost forward momentum. I had the transmission serviced for its second serivce at 84705 miles just ten days before this happened. The first service occurred around 47k miles when I learned about this issue with Chevrolet transmissions.
Aug 21, 2026Fuel/propulsion system As I accelerated after the traffic light turned green the vehicle stalled. I was able to move the vehicle to the curb on XXX [XXX] is a two-way road. The vehicle stalled while on an active road which could have led to my vehicle being rear ended causing potential injuries to myself and other drivers. The engine turned over and there was fuel in the gas tank, however, the vehicle wouldn't start. A warning light showed: "low battery", but since the engine was trying to start, it seems unlikely that the battery was low. A second warning light showed: "battery saving" mode. These lights appeared once the vehicle was parked on the curb of the road. The vehicle was towed to David Chevrolet, a GM…
