The emergency brakes engaging in reverse and while in drive. Not available for inspection as the vehicle is now totaled. It was involved in a rollover accident. I believe the emergency brakes caused the rollover. If the rollover was in fact due to the emergency brakes engaging, the accident could have happened on the highway, or a busier street putting several lives in danger. Thankfully, there were no other vehicles involved. The dealership as well as GM were notified of the issue. The dealership was unable to reproduce the issue, and returned the vehicle backed to us. Upon researching online, this is a known issue for the Blazer EVs. After the accident, the vehicle was towed as it was not drivable. The vehicle was then picked up by my insurance company, Progressive, and evaluated if the vehicle was repairable. It is not. The emergency brakes engaged previously to this event. Several times in reverse, then a handful of times in drive.

I have had the car for 3 weeks and twice it has slammed on the brakes for an instant at slow speed. Both times I was at least 20 feet behind another vehicle travelling at less than 10mph when the brakes locked up for an instant throwing me against the seatbelt very hard and bringing me to an emergency stop. The first time the stop was so hard I thought the car behind me had hit me but it had not. I thought maybe it was the emergency braking but there was no alert or warning as there usually is when the car warns me of possible collision. The last time I contacted OnStar and asked the run a diagnostic which they said came back with no errors. I have not taken the car to the dealer since i cannot reproduce the problem.

This vehicle massively underperforming based on what was told to me at the time of sale (250–300-mile range), I have never come even close to that range. I am averaging about 125 miles using about 70% of the fully charged battery. I WAS informed that during colder temperatures I would experience faster battery degradation but it was not mentioned that it could be as dramatic as losing 50% of my range. I feel the mileage has been massively inflated to seem better situated to compete in today's EV market at the direct expense of consumers. In addition to the blatant falsehoods I have been told, the automatic emergency braking is seriously dangerous and primed to get people killed. In 6 months of driving, I have had no less than 4 separate experiences in which the AEB system engaged when there was not a vehicle or pedestrian infront or around my vehicle, engaging a full locked braked at speeds between 15 - 25 mph.

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.

I was unable to connect to OnStar unable to put Hazards on , it started upon its own with multiple warnings and was non operational however I was able to reach to on Star who sent police and a tow truck to take to Camino Real Chevy. It was terrifying and to think I was almost on the highway! This is a FATAL SAFETY CONCERN. The GM never contacted me regarding the incident . I leased it on 11/01:2024. It was towed in non operational on 11/22/2024. It has been in the service Department since with no response as to what is going on with the vehicle or any attempts in appropriately rectifying a SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT in the vehicle they sold me.

Although the owner's manual specifically states "When enabled, One-Pedal Driving applies in R (Reverse) and D (Drive). This feature remains enabled until manually disabled by the driver." One pedal drive does not work in reverse. Car does not creep in reverse like an ICE vehicle, but quickly lurches backward, surprising an experienced or forgetful driver and possibly endangering pedestrians walking or standing behind the car. Dealer service has checked it and consulted with Chevrolet, who refuses to address the issue, saying the owner's manual is just wrong. The same one pedal drive verbiage appears in both the Chevy Bolt and Cadillac Lyriq owner's manuals.
- 11/26/2025· FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
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.

There is an interment issue with my passenger, rear turn signal. Once activated, it will flash three times, and then display a "Check Right Rear Turn Lamp" message. My front and mirror light still flash, but flash rapidly to indicate an issue with the rear signal. The rear signal does not flash, but periodically will flash quickly for 2-3 flashes and go out again. The dealership stated it "...could be a list of things..." and are currently trying to find a resolution. The vehicle had a stored "low amperage" code when the dealership pulled the codes. This first happened early morning on 11/13/24 and again happened early morning on 11/14/24. Obviously having an interment rear turn signal is a safety issue.

This may or may not be a true safety issue depending on definition. The charge door will not open some of the time. It starts to open and then closes right a way. Depending on where you are this could be a safety issue in that you could get stuck somewhere not close to any kind of service to get the door open. You could just be in a place that is just not safe to be stranded for a period of time. This problem is preventable. I my case it appears to be dust getting in a switch that causes it not to lower when the door starts to open. It takes me put to 20 times so far to get the door open when I am home with plowing air in side the door during the short time it is partly open. You will find many variations of complained on the issue on the Blazer EV Forum. Here is an example. [XXX] . I am not aware of GM recognizing this problem.

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.

On multiple occasions the electrical system of my car has gone completely haywire. Various error messages display on the dash referencing problems with almost all car systems including: high voltage battery warning, reduced acceleration, power steering failure, and others. These error message occur in conjunction with the display screens flickering, all the fixed dash warning lights coming on, and the heater turning on full blast without my input. The blinkers also stop working during these electrical events which is a safety hazard to other vehicles. I have taken the car into the dealer multiple times but they still don't know how to fix it. Software updates have not worked. I have pictures and videos of the events occurring. I have also read on message boards that other Blazer EV owners have this exact same problem.

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.

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.

I entered my vehicle, and began to reverse when I noticed that the backup camera did not show up. Then I saw that my instrument cluster was not appearing either. I did a reset on the infotainment and the entire instrument cluster and infotainment set of screens stayed black. I had to leave the area so I ended up driving a few miles with no gauge cluster, camera system, or dash indicator lights. Eventually this was rectified by leaving the vehicle off for several minutes, but now I fear this issue will return unexpectedly again.

It has spent almost 50 days in service for high voltage system issues in the 110 days that I’ve owned it. The manager at the dealership told me that a lot of the Blazer EVs that they have sold have had this exact issue and that GM doesn’t seem interested in actually fixing it. They change sensors in the car but don’t want to spend the money actually fixing the battery. Plenty of other owners online have had the exact same issue, many times in the first week of ownership, one before they even drove off the lot.

The emergency collision avoidance braking automatically activated for no reason. Twice it happened at highway speed, once at 65 mph, once at 55 mph. On the one occasion we were approaching a highway overpass, it was bright and sunny - I suspect the system saw a shadow that it thought was somehow going to be a crash and momentarily activated brakes. The other time at highway speeds - I didn't see anything in particular that it was reacting to. Once this happened at about 30 mph, I suspect it saw a dark patch of asphalt. All of the times was just a moment, it was kinda scarry.... glad there wasn't anybody closely following us - could have gotten rear-ended. I have now disabled the system.

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.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to express concern about the excessive noise generated by the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) on my 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV. While I understand the importance of these systems for pedestrian safety, the current volume level is unreasonably loud and intrusive. The PWS on this vehicle activates at low speeds, (below 25mph), creating significant noise pollution both inside and outside the vehicle. This excessive noise is not only irritating but also potentially harmful to the well-being of drivers, passengers, and particularly our furry friends. I have hearing aids, and it is painful to my ears! I request that the NHTSA investigate the volume levels of Blazers EV PWS systems to ensure they are both effective for pedestrian safety and considerate of vehicle occupants. They need to match combustion engine noise levels and no more. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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.

I had to drive 100 miles in 100° heat without functional AC and at limited speeds, hoping that the car wouldn’t shut down on the freeway in the middle of nowhere because the charging system failed while I was charging to complete my trip. Fortunately I made it home with 2% battery remaining, but if my house was another 10 miles away, I would’ve been stuck on the side of the road. The Blazer EV is a safety hazard, and multiple other people online are reporting similar problems enough that it could warrant a recall.

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.

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.

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.

- 06/10/2026· SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
I am reporting a potential safety defect involving unintended automatic emergency braking/forward collision warning/brake-control behavior, reverse automatic braking, parking brake behavior, and driver-assistance/sensor calibration. Incident XXX ~11:15 AM, [XXX] driving 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV ~20–25 mph on/near [XXX]. Vehicle displayed red collision alert and abruptly braked hard although the lane was clear; only a car was parked in a driveway on the right. Sudden braking created serious risk of rear-end collision/loss of control. Vehicle used for family transportation; toddler (~30.8 lb) had been in vehicle ~10 minutes before and family includes blind/visually impaired passenger. History of unwanted reverse emergency braking ~every 45 days: Jan 2026 near Crust Pizza Woodforest (backing up) and March 2026 at H-E-B 7988 FM 1488 Magnolia (backing out), jolting child in rear-facing car seat. Prior service at Keating Chevrolet Nov 12, 2025 (including recall/service for Unintended Parking Brake Engagement N252503010 and missing chassis harness plugs update) did not resolve unwanted braking. After June 10, AEB/front pedestrian braking/intersection collision braking were disabled as temporary safety mitigation. Vehicle removed from daily family use, available for inspection, and I request NHTSA review. Any inspection should preserve relevant braking/parking/AEB/forward collision/sensor data before any reset/update/repair.
