2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV

See attached document for complaint.

Incident Nov 13, 2025

I was pulling out of my parents' driveway with my sister, who is almost 7 months pregnant in the passenger seat. Before we could get down the driveway, my car VIOLENTLY slammed itself into park to the point that I was convinced I had to have hit someone. No warnings no nothing, just WHAM, causing my lower back to feel tweaked now. After jumping out and seeing nothing, I immediately brought my car to the dealership for inspection. When I arrived, I was told that the sensors are just too sensitive, and the gentleman helping me also has the same vehicle. He said his wife hates the car and turns off all safety features in order to drive the car. You want me to turn off all the safety features to prevent a crash because it is turning itself on and could cause one? I do not feel comfortable operating this vehicle with myself in the car, let alone the two very young nephews and my pregnant sister, who I frequently drive around. I have already brought the car in for this reason and they claim there is nothing they can do.

Incident Dec 1, 2025

This forward collision system will engage at inappropriate times when there is no crash concern. This vehicle has routinely engaged in a highway setting locking up the brakes and forcing the vehicle to a full stop on the highway with vehicles at speeds of 60+mph causing a grave safety risk and an immanent risk of serious injury or death from a serious highspeed crash. This software simply does not work and is not designed and programmed properly. It should not be on the road and shouldnt be used in a public setting. Each instance of my safety concern there was not a vehicle withing the proper distance that a crash was going to occur.

Incident Nov 26, 2025

Vehicle suddenly braking on its own by fifth time since May 2025

Incident Nov 3, 2025

My son was driving in stop and go traffic on I-95 and he rear-ended another car. No safety features activated: i.e. dash warning lights, audible noise, auto breaking. Last week I was at teh dealer for the recall that effected the Emergency Breaking system. Talking with the dealer some updated turns the auto system off, or otherwise adjust the settings that I have prior. Backing out of the driveway the car lock up the breaks when it sees my trash can, but not on the highway? The dash warning lights randomly light up with nothing in front of me. I know the system does not prevent every accident, but it seems to pick and chose what it warns about. It is more a hazard then a help in its present state.

Incident Oct 4, 2025

Recall N252503010 / 25V433 – 2024 Chevy Blazer EV. Dealer cleared my VIN after only a visual “inspection” and later applied software updates. The official remedy requires rerouting/taping or replacing the brake harness, not software. My VIN was falsely marked “recall complete” while the safety defect remains unresolved.

Incident Aug 28, 2025

The glare on the windshield for the Blazer EV is terrible when driving toward the sun. It makes it hard to see and unsafe.

Incident Jun 1, 2025

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that the front driver’s side seat failed to move forward or backward. The contact stated that while attempting to move the seat, the seat failed to operate as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the seat was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

Incident Sep 1, 2025

Blinker arm often bounces back to the opposite direction when the blinker automatically cancels once you have made your turn. As an example if I have left blinker on after I complete my turn it often bounces back over to the right side turning the right blinker for a few flashes.

Incident Oct 31, 2024

The vehicle has engaged the brake on multiple occasions unexpectedly. This is related to the recent recall that GM announced and is unable to repair. I have made multiple attempts to reach GM through written mail, phone, X and the BBB and have not received a satisfactory resolution as the safety issue persists.

Incident Aug 1, 2025

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to formally notify you, pursuant to the California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Civil Code§§ 1790 et seq.), that my 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, VIN 3GNKDHRK4RSXXXXXX is subject to an active safety recall N252503010 for the parking brake system. GM has acknowledged the defect, but no genuine repair or remedy Is available. I have already experienced problems with the parking brake, which substantially impair the safety, use and value of the vehicle. Due to the severity of this defect, I have placed the vehicle at the dealership, Woodland Motors, and it will remain there until GM completes the buyback process. I refuse to drive it because it is unsafe. I further understand that GM has instructed the dealership to adjust the depth sensor as so-called remedy. This adjustment has no bearing on the parking brake defect and cannot be reasonably be considered a repair nor the taping of brake lines that they also instructed to do. It does not address the safety risk or brake failure or unintended activation. Under California Civil Code§ 1793.2, the manufacturer must repair any defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle within a reasonable number of attempts and within a reasonable period of time. Since GM has no remedy and cannot provide a repair, it is impossible to comply with this requirement. Accordingly, I hereby demand that GM immediately: Repurchase my vehicle for the full purchase price, including sales tax, registration, finance charges, and any incidental or consequential damages. In addition, I request GM immediately provide me with a loaner vehicle or GM-paid rental until this matter is resolved, as it is unsafe to operate my current vehicle. If GM fails to resolve this matter promptly, I will retain legal counsel and pursue all available remedies, including attorney's fees, court costs and civil penalties under California Civil Code §1794.

Incident Aug 19, 2025

Left turn signal can activate by itself after right turn. Details: Driving and making a right turn with the right turn signal active, after the turn when the signal cancels, the signal sometimes activates the left blink-to-pass feature causing the left signal to blink 3 times. This appears to be because the turn signal arm falls too hard. When turning onto a multi lane road this causes confusion to drivers coming up behind where they think I am moving into the left lane, but I am not. GM has loaded software to reduce this but it still happens. They replaced my turn signal arm and it still happens (much less often now). I can prevent it from happening by using my finger to dampen the turn signal arm when it cancels by catching it and slowing it down. I stopped using my turn signal completely as it is embarrassing when it does this.

Incident Sep 14, 2025

The glare reflecting from the dashboard on to the windshield is many times blinding and obstructs a lot of the front view. Also randomly the side mirrors tilt up while driving giving me a view of the sky but not the road behind me.

Incident May 14, 2025

There is a glare from the dashboard of the vehicle that shines onto the windshield and causes visibility to be nearly impossible. I am unable to see certain things on the roadway as a result. This happens every single time the sun happens to be out and is an extreme safety issue. This vehicle is not safe to operate or be on the roadway in any way shape or form

Incident Aug 23, 2025

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop, with the "Service Parking Brake" message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where an attempt to duplicate the failure was unsuccessful. The contact was informed that the failure was likely a user error and that no issues were found with the vehicle. The failure persisted, and the contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (PARKING BRAKE); which the contact linked to the failure. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer for the recall repair. The contact stated that the repair involved the installation of an anti-abrasive tape around the wiring harness. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a representative was sent to inspect the vehicle. The Chevrolet Representative was later informed by the dealer that the brake lines were already taped prior to the recall and that no additional repairs were needed. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer because the contact was concerned about the safe operation of the vehicle. The failure mileage was unknown.

Incident Oct 1, 2024

Glossy components on the Blazer EV dashboard reflect onto the windshield in most daylight driving conditions. The glare is excessive and makes it difficult to discern pedestrians and other obstructions. Chevrolet acknowledged the design flaw when they recently started providing free dash covers for the Equinox EV. The Equinox and Blazer EV dashboards are essentially the same. A dash cover is not a permanent solution though, and Chevrolet should replace the glossy dashboard components with a material that is less reflective.

Incident Aug 18, 2025

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact received a notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (Parking Brake); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while reversing at 5 MPH, the rear parking brake independently engaged. No warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle had jerked with a sudden acceleration before the rear brakes had independently locked. Injuries were sustained. The contact sought medical attention for injuries sustained to his back, neck, and spine. The front passenger sought medical attention for whiplash and head injuries. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure occurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,989.

Incident Aug 16, 2025

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (Parking Brake); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Incident Aug 18, 2025

This has happened to me numerous times where I’m driving and out of nowhere the car shortstops it is a danger to drive this car. And I have called Gm over and over and they don’t want to do anything about it.

Incident Apr 16, 2025

Yesterday afternoon the front wipers stopped working during down pouring rain. I had to drive home 10 miles with no wipers.

Incident Aug 13, 2025

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle abruptly came to a complete stop, after which the contact became aware that the parking brake had been engaged. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (Parking Brake); the VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Incident Aug 11, 2025

Car can spontaneously activate the Parking park. Recall has been ongoing and Chevy has yet to tell me how to repair it. They said risk for a severe accident is high.

Incident Jul 30, 2025

Multiple safety-critical systems have malfunctioned since shortly after purchase, continuing to this day. The most serious is the forward collision braking, which has triggered randomly during normal driving. These braking events have occurred on highways and surface streets, posing a serious risk if a vehicle were following closely. During arbitration, the manufacturer admitted this is a known defect with no current fix, yet continues to return the vehicle marked as “repaired.” Additional issues include: Adaptive cruise control failure Intermittent charging failures (won’t initiate or randomly stops mid-charge) Infotainment screen freezing or going blank Inconsistent air conditioning performance Rear hatch failing to open/close and requiring physical force Bluetooth audio that disconnects unless the vehicle is powered off for 15+ minutes These problems have been reported to two GM-authorized dealerships. One repair attempt at a second location was ignored in arbitration. I also contacted GM corporate multiple times directly, requesting support. My attempts were either unanswered or dismissed, with no action taken. Many concerns were labeled “unable to duplicate,” even when I provided documentation. No warning lights appear with braking or charging failures. Most issues temporarily resolve after a full power-down, suggesting a software or control system fault. The manufacturer participated in arbitration and acknowledged the unresolved defects, but refused to provide further oversight or assign a factory technician. The vehicle is available for inspection. I am reporting this because the problems are ongoing and impact safety, reliability, and functionality.

Incident Nov 13, 2023

While driving the vehicle loses power to the instrument panel and gauges and infotainment system. The vehicle remains under power however the driver looses the ability to see how fast the vehicle is moving or any information as the entire dashboard loses power. The safety to both myself and my family as well as other drivers is at risk if I am unable to see how fast I am going or control any equipment in my vehicle. This is a known issue online with many other drivers of the blazer EV experiencing the same issue with no remedy from the manufacturer.

Incident Aug 4, 2025

Car slams on brakes randomly. If the cannot sell or dealer trade these vehicles, why r they permitted to allow us to keep driving a dangerous vehicle. My Service manager is at a total loss , and this auto is dangerous.

Incident Jun 3, 2025

After getting the recall repaired (which I was never informed of and I had the parking brake engage as I was travelling 30 mph causing me to skid down the road) I got the vehicle back and the very next day it was the same issue and the abs and traction control light came on and it began making loud clicking noises every time I would engage the brake.

Incident Jul 9, 2025

I am not comfortable with this car, I took this car to the dealership to get fixed and checked on recalls but they could not fix the most important and most dangerous recall. They worked on recall#N252492430 and recall #N242468490 from [XXX] # [XXX] . When I got there, no one gave me an update of the car they only gave me a receipt with 3 pieces of paper and that is it. What can i do in this case? I can not drive this car knowing the brakes will go out and I might have an accident and crash. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Incident Jul 11, 2025

When driving during the day, specifically facing the sun, there is a glare on the windshield from the dashboard which decreases visibility. it makes it very difficult to see anything to the right of center for the driver and almost impossible for the passenger to see anything directly in front of the vehicle at times.

Incident May 1, 2025

The right side tail signal light module needs to be replaced. I was having intermittent issues with the right turn signal, I took the car to the dealership and they told me that the module needed to be replaced. The car has been in the dealership since March 19th, more than a month ago waiting for the part. I contacted Chevrolet and they keep telling me that no ETA for part is available, and they do not provide any more details on what is causing this delay.

Incident Mar 19, 2025

On April 7, 2025 while backing out of the driveway, my son's car abruptly stopped. The manhole cover at the end of our driveway triggered the emergency braking system. My head was slammed against the headrest and caused a great deal of pain in my head. On April 15, 2025, I went to Kaiser and was told that I have a concussion.

Incident Apr 7, 2025

Windshield has terrible glare and reflects the dashboard as to limit visibility. Front collision and auto braking including rear collision and braking are a safety hazard as they create hard braking events for no reason. Car will stop sudden for no reason. These are both serious safety issues. These are problems we have had with the car since purchase and have had the dealership shop work on the problem and were told just to leave it turned off. This is not the correct way to fix a problem with a vehicle.

Incident Nov 30, 2024

While driving the vehicle the reflection from the dashboard onto the windshield on a sunny day causes vision to be impaired to where sometimes you cannot see pedestrians or animals at certain angles. This happens constantly while day driving and increases in impaired vision depending on the direction of travel relative to the sun.

Incident Apr 1, 2025

I am writing to report a serious safety concern regarding the adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert systems in my Chevrolet Blazer. These systems are malfunctioning in unpredictable and potentially dangerous ways. On multiple occasions while driving on the expressway, the adaptive cruise control has abruptly and forcefully applied the brakes without any apparent reason. There have been no vehicles directly in front of me posing an immediate threat. While there may be traffic in adjacent lanes, my lane has been clear. This sudden deceleration is alarming and dangerous, creating a significant risk of rear-end collisions from vehicles following too closely. The red lights will come on and indicate an imminent problem but it is a malfunction. The abrupt stops are frightening for all passengers, and the frequency of this occurrence is troubling though on rare occasions since I have first owned the car. I have observed similar complaints from other Blazer owners on online forums, reinforcing my concern that this is not an isolated incident. The dealer has not being able to reproduce but acknowledges that other drivers have a similar issue. Further compounding this issue is the malfunctioning rear cross-traffic alert system. While backing up at low speeds, the system will unexpectedly and forcefully engage the brakes, even when there are no vehicles present in the surrounding area. While less dangerous than the expressway issue, this erratic behavior still indicates a significant system flaw. I understand that adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert are intended as safety features, but their current malfunctioning poses a substantial safety risk. I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly. I expect these features to function correctly and reliably. I request immediate action to address these defects and ensure the safety of myself and other drivers.

Incident Nov 20, 2024

The signal continues to bounce back too hard after many right turns and light up my left signal about three times. Additionally, it's sometimes difficult to engage the right turn signal at all.

Incident Mar 3, 2025

Right rear tail light failure. Does not light up with headlamps on or when braking and flashes very fast when signal is turned on. Get a warning message on the info screen stating "Right Rear lamp failure" every time I signal a right turn. Dealer documented issue but states that this is a known issue with no fix at this time and GM instructed dealer to not attempt any repairs at this time. This is a known issue in the GM forums about this vehicle and it is always the right rear LED lamp that has this problem. Potential safety issue when no brake light lights on that side of the car and the fast flashing directional may be confusing to traffic.

Incident Dec 27, 2024

On several occasions (10+) the windshield wiper would not activate when turning the dial on the stalk. On all but one occasion, the stalk worked on the next drive. That one occasion, the stalk worked on the following drive. There are no lights or warnings, the wipers just fail to work. This is more problematic

Incident Jan 29, 2025

On one occasion, the doors locks failed to respond to multiple unlock attempts (using the buttons on 3 of the handles and using the remote). After 5 minutes or so, the door locks finally responded to a command from the key fob to unlock.

Incident Jan 10, 2025

I’ve been in pain for 3 days since the last time my auto braking slammed on the brakes. The situation this time was in the school pick up line, where there are 3 rows of cars and I was in the middle lane. This is a very slow progressing line bc each lane has one car move forward at a time and we then move forward and stop It slammed on the brakes so much harder than I would even have been braking in that scenario and I thought I’d been rear ended. It’s happened another time when I was in moving traffic and created a very dangerous situation which fortunately we did not end up causing a crash. I’ll be disabling the feature immediately as it’s much more dangerous than useful and I am in so much whiplash pain this time around it’s insane

Incident Feb 5, 2025

The vehicle will automatically extremely hard brake while moving for no apparent reason, with no obstructions present. This problem startles driver and passenger and can present a danger to vehicle of being hit by other vehicles not expecting a hard braking situation for no apparent reason. Please investigate and make manufacturer responsible to fix the issue. Thank You

Incident Jan 31, 2025

When the Automatic Emergency Braking system is enabled, it will suddenly brake when in reverse even though there is no obstacle at the back. The braking is so sudden that it is painful. I reported it to the dealership but they never got back to me about a solution. I have disabled the AEB for now.
