20260204PARKING BRAKE

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

20260103FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

While driving, most often at dawn/dusk and commonly with cruise control engaged, the vehicle will falsely detect a vehicle ahead when none is present. It then triggers sudden Automatic Emergency Braking along with a crash/forward-collision indicator, causing an abrupt speed drop of 15–20 mph. This is a major safety concern for my family and me while commuting in our family vehicle. If a vehicle behind us follows too closely and does not brake as rapidly as this faulty feature activates, it could cause a severe rear-end collision, or the driver may swerve into the other lane and collide with other vehicles to avoid hitting my vehicle, which has suddenly decreased speed. Other safety concerns related to this faulty braking feature include passenger whiplash and strains when the vehicle suddenly decelerates, instability on wet/snowy/icy roads, and the loss of an important safety feature. This vehicle safety feature cannot be used due to faulty braking.

20251203FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

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

20251126FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

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.

20251006CrashSERVICE BRAKES

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.

20251005UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

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.

20250918SERVICE BRAKES

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.

20250918PARKING BRAKE

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
