The radio may not have been set to the correct status to download the electronic owner's manual during production. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, “Occupant Protection.”
Consequence: Without an owner's manual to consult, owners may not know how to safely use and operate the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will reset the vehicle radio, which will facilitate automatic download of the electronic owner’s manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2026. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-866-467-9700, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223.

|---|---|---|---|
| Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking | 2228.2%ODI 11609909The 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 jus… | 526.3%ODI 11704018At a low speed, between 10 and 15 mph, the forward collision system automatically triggered and brought the car to an immediate stop. While we were lucky that no car was following behind us, the passenger and I experienced significant whiplash and lasting back pain as a result of this. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone, and not been reproduced. The forward collision system flashed (red warning light, alert). | 0UnavailableNo examples available for this selection. |
| Electrical System | 2126.9%ODI 11557697Although 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 manua… | 526.3%ODI 11634217The motorized charge port door no longer opens. There is no manual operation rendering the vehicle unable to charge. This presents a potential hazardous situation if the error occurred during a road trip where there are greater distances between charging stations and services. GM customer service and OnStar could not resolve the issue when contacted. | 0UnavailableNo examples available for this selection. |
| Service Brakes | 1823.1%ODI 11592832Ecs failure, brake assist failure. Car upon starting would not brake. Gave above stated error codes. Restarting car resolved issue temporarily. Video available of incident. Braking did not stop vehicle | 631.6%ODI 11687679My windshield is defected with no real time when a replacement can be ordered..the interior lining is not sealed properly which is causing a buckling effect by drivers and passengers visors.. Rain is getting inside and soaking into the dashboard causing the electrical system on screens to blink in and out Finally my brake harness is still on recall and my car has been shifting into park which could cause severe problems if I am on the highway.. | 0UnavailableNo examples available for this selection. |
| Visibility/Wiper | 1012.8%ODI 11633984Wipers, Yes available for inspection Wipers would not operate regardless of control speed setting while driving on interstate, could not clean windshield and visibility was dangerously diminished The windshield solvent sprayer did NOT work as well Once I parked, turned off car, started car 30 minutes later and the Wipers were back to operating normally. Not confirmed, because it happens intermittently No Inspections No warning lights or indicators | 210.5%ODI 11683926At certain times of day it is nearly impossible to see through the windshield as the glare from the dashboard reflection is very bright. The attached pictures do not really show the extent of the glare. | 0UnavailableNo examples available for this selection. |
| Forward Collision Avoidance: Warnings | 67.7%ODI 11623547The collision avoidance and automatic breaking is know. To be defective enough that employees on the forum suggest changing to alert only. But it goes off so much that I tend to ignore it subconsciously which could lead to a serious accident | 526.3%ODI 11699144Multiple safety-critical malfunctions have occurred on this vehicle involving unintended braking, unintended acceleration, and false activation of driver-assist systems. These events did not happen at the same time and occurred under normal driving conditions. At various points, the vehicle has suddenly applied the brakes without driver input, including hard braking events that felt like an automatic emergency braking activation when no hazard was present. In separate incidents, the parking brake has engaged while the vehicle was in motion, cau… | 0UnavailableNo examples available for this selection. |
| Unknown Or Other | 1012.8%ODI 11607384Dear 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 parti… | 15.3%ODI 11691483There is a really bad rattling noise that comes from the dash. The dash at the windshield you can push down very easily. Whem driving on rough road the ratteling noise is very loud and distracting. During daylight driving you get a very bad glare from the dash board in the windsheild. I havent found a dash mat yet to fox the problem temporarily but some people have mentioned trying felt. | 0UnavailableNo examples available for this selection. |
| Fuel/Propulsion System | 810.3%ODI 11606480The High Voltage System failed three separate times within the first 3 months of ownership. Has spent total almost 30 days in the shop getting repairs. It happened at 400 miles, 800 miles, and 2200 miles. The car was unable to charge, unable to drive at full Highway speeds, and was a safety hazard because it could shut down at any moment according to the manual. The last time it happened was while I was driving home from a work trip. I had to drive 100 miles in 100° heat without functional AC and at limited speeds, hoping that the car wouldn’… | 15.3%ODI 11634217The motorized charge port door no longer opens.

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.
No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
