Chevy is aware that this vehicle has a fuel pump failure issue. We were not. The vehicle lost all power while my wife was driving on a very busy Fla highway. She attempted to pull the car over to the shoulder. She was in the far-left lane. It had no shoulder. She was unable to make it completely over to the right shoulder due to having no power. Her car was still in part of the right traveling lane of traffic. This put her at great risk of being rear ended by vehicles going 70 mph and possibly killed. She was 60 miles from home, and I could not…

To whom it may concern; my son's fiancé was driving on the highway and the vehicle had a sudden loss of power. Afterward, it turned off and would not re-start. After towing the vehicle to a repair facility (out of warranty by mileage, 45K) were advised they retrieved DTC P023F and advised the fuel pump control module failed. I did some checking and found that GM is aware of the issue and has released T.S.B. #PIP5964C, which states "CRANK NO START, STALLING, LOSS OF POWER, FUEL GAUGE INOPERATIVE/ERRATIC, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINA…

While driving, the vehicle displayed a “Service Power Steering” warning message, and shortly after, the steering became noticeably heavier and less responsive. The issue occurs intermittently but has worsened over time, creating a serious safety concern because loss of steering assist could occur at any speed. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a failure of the electronic power steering module and rack-and-pinion assembly, quoting an estimated repair cost of approximately $2,500. The vehicle has only around 56,000 miles and has been maintaine…

The engine fan has been running and the check engine light has come on and upon further inspection I discovered that this is a common issue with this vehicle. I have had my vehicle inspected and serviced by Chevrolet since I purchased it and I informed the technician that there was water under my vehicle if it ran idle on several occasions and was told that it was a non issue and now that my vehicle is out of warranty there is an issue with the same thing I have been concerned about.

Driving the vehicle when all of a sudden the engine shut off. All electrical systems continued to function. Luckily this occurred at low speed in a parking lot but had it happened at high speed on the freeway it could have been a huge safety risk.

There is an open GM recall that includes the 2021 Chevy Blazer (and a suite of other GM vehicles), but not the 2022 Chevy Blazer.
