2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV Recalls, Complaints & Safety

This vehicle experiences multiple recurring safety-critical system failures while driving, creating a dangerous operating condition for both the driver and the public. 1. Dashboard / Instrument Cluster Failure While Driving While the vehicle is in motion, the dashboard display intermittently shuts off completely. When this occurs, I cannot see my speed, warning lights, battery status, or any other gauges. This creates a severe safety risk because I am effectively driving without any instrument information. The issue occurs while actively operating the vehicle on public roads. 2. Navigation / GPS Location Failure The vehicle’s built-in mapping system frequently shows my location several states away from my actual position. Even though the location is incorrect, the system continues to provide turn-by-turn navigation instructions based on the incorrect location. If these directions were followed, it could cause a driver to make unsafe maneuvers or become distracted while attempting to correct the navigation error. 3. False Automatic Emergency Braking Activation The automatic braking system frequently activates even when there are no vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles present. The vehicle abruptly slows or brakes on open roads with nothing nearby. This creates a significant safety hazard because it could cause a rear-end collision if another vehicle is following. Repair History / Ongoing Issue: This vehicle has been taken in for repair multiple times for these issues. Despite attempted repairs, the problems continue to occur. The recurring nature of these failures indicates a systemic defect that has not been corrected. Safety Concern: These failures create multiple hazardous driving conditions: Loss of dashboard information while driving Incorrect navigation location and directions Unintended automatic braking events Allowing this vehicle to remain in service with these unresolved defects places both the driver and the public at risk. Request: I am requesti

I recently purchased this EV Blazer and one day I went to charge it at a fast charging station. It would not charge and so I got it to the Chevy dealership in Yakima, WA. They told me that the battery itself had been physically damaged due to the location of the battery and it not being protected. I have no recollection of ever hitting anything and there was no visible or damage to any other part of the Blazer. It seem to me that the location of the battery and it being unprotected is a major design flaw.

The keyless entry and start system intermittently fails to detect the key fob, preventing the vehicle from starting, locking, or unlocking. On one occasion, a "Service Keyless Start System" warning appeared on the dashboard while the vehicle was being driven at 75 MPH on a highway. The driver was unable to safely stop and feared the vehicle would become inoperable in traffic if turned off. The issue first occurred on January 1, 2026. Both key fobs were tested with new batteries — both exhibited the same failure, indicating the defect is in the vehicle's key detection system, not the fobs. Roadside assistance confirmed this was an EV-specific system issue they could not resolve. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Chevrolet dealership for repair. It was in the shop for approximately 5 days. The dealership performed a full system upgrade and completed safety recalls but stated they could not replicate the key detection issue. Within approximately 30 minutes of picking up the vehicle after the first repair, the "Service Keyless Start System" warning reappeared while driving at highway speed. Two days later, the vehicle completely failed to start, lock, or unlock, displaying "No Key Found" with the battery at 100% charge. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealership for a second repair attempt. During the second escalation, the manufacturer's EV support team noted that the manufacturer's internal system showed safety recalls still appearing as open, which appeared inconsistent with the dealership's paperwork from the first visit claiming those recalls were completed. The vehicle has been serviced twice for this defect. The component — the keyless entry/start detection system is available for inspection. The intermittent nature of the failure makes it especially dangerous, as the driver cannot predict when the vehicle will become inoperable. This defect poses a serious safety risk if the vehicle loses key detection while being driven at highway speeds in traffic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Vehicle suddenly braking on its own by fifth time since May 2025

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.

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.

The glare on the windshield for the Blazer EV is terrible when driving toward the sun. It makes it hard to see and unsafe.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that the front driver’s side seat failed to move forward or backward. The contact stated that while attempting to move the seat, the seat failed to operate as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the seat was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The glare reflecting from the dashboard on to the windshield is many times blinding and obstructs a lot of the front view. Also randomly the side mirrors tilt up while driving giving me a view of the sky but not the road behind me.

There is a glare from the dashboard of the vehicle that shines onto the windshield and causes visibility to be nearly impossible. I am unable to see certain things on the roadway as a result. This happens every single time the sun happens to be out and is an extreme safety issue. This vehicle is not safe to operate or be on the roadway in any way shape or form

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop, with the "Service Parking Brake" message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where an attempt to duplicate the failure was unsuccessful. The contact was informed that the failure was likely a user error and that no issues were found with the vehicle. The failure persisted, and the contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (PARKING BRAKE); which the contact linked to the failure. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer for the recall repair. The contact stated that the repair involved the installation of an anti-abrasive tape around the wiring harness. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a representative was sent to inspect the vehicle. The Chevrolet Representative was later informed by the dealer that the brake lines were already taped prior to the recall and that no additional repairs were needed. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer because the contact was concerned about the safe operation of the vehicle. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

This has happened to me numerous times where I’m driving and out of nowhere the car shortstops it is a danger to drive this car. And I have called Gm over and over and they don’t want to do anything about it.

Yesterday afternoon the front wipers stopped working during down pouring rain. I had to drive home 10 miles with no wipers.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle abruptly came to a complete stop, after which the contact became aware that the parking brake had been engaged. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (Parking Brake); the VIN was included, but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car can spontaneously activate the Parking park. Recall has been ongoing and Chevy has yet to tell me how to repair it. They said risk for a severe accident is high.

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.

While driving the vehicle loses power to the instrument panel and gauges and infotainment system. The vehicle remains under power however the driver looses the ability to see how fast the vehicle is moving or any information as the entire dashboard loses power. The safety to both myself and my family as well as other drivers is at risk if I am unable to see how fast I am going or control any equipment in my vehicle. This is a known issue online with many other drivers of the blazer EV experiencing the same issue with no remedy from the manufacturer.

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.
