The infotainment system of a brand new 2025 Blazer EV is doing blackouts, flickers, and changing commands and requests. While this may sound trivial - and if this system just did the radio - I would agree. However it controls most all the sub-systems of the car from Charging, to Display, to GPS, Environmental, etc. While at home it is just annoying and frustrating - we traveled to VA from FL this past week. Traffic was horrendous due to a closure of I95 in SC - ALL traffic was forced onto 2 lane country roads. Attempting to use the Control…

My retractable sunroof suddenly explosively broke. I was approaching a red stop light at low speed. I heard what I thought was a gunshot or vehicle backfiring. As I drove on, I heard wind whistling. I thought my passenger side window wasn’t closed. I lowered then jraised it. At that point, I heard my sunroof disintegrate. Luckily, the headliner kept the glass from raining down on me. If this had happened at highway speed, it could’ve been a real problem.

While my wife was pulling into park the car and pressing the brake, the car all of a sudden accelerated into the building. Pressing the brake failed to stop the car. No person was in the way of the car so no one other than my wife was at risk of injury. The problem has not been reproduced since the car was totaled. The car was inspected by the insurance for loss but that was it. Police and manufacturer have not inspected the car. No warnings were presented prior to the accident.

I’m just afraid one day the car may roll if it doesn’t recognize it’s in park.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

CONSUMER WAS HAVING FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM PROBLEMS. FUEL WAS BEING DUMPED INTO THE ENGINE. CONSUMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED VEHICLE JERKED AND BLACK SMOKE CAME FROM THE BACK. THEN, VEHICLE WILL NOT RUN. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS EXPERIENCING BRAKING PROBLEMS. BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT STOPPED. THIS MADE HER FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.*AK

VEHICLE HAD A NO START CONDITION. MECHANIC THOUGHT ISSUE WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. VEHICLE STARTED, BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER VEHICLE STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. CONSUMER NOTIFIED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SPECIAL RECALL ON THE CMFI UNIT, BUT VEHICLE WAS OVER THE MILEAGE TO QUALIFY. IT SEEMED THAT THE PROBLEM RESULTED FROM THE FUEL USED IN CALIFORNIA. CONSUMER WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF SPECIAL RECALL. CALIFORNIA OWNERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TT
