SERVICE BRAKES
While this vehicle was in motion the brakes suddenly stopped working. The brake pedal went to the floor with no braking. The screen read brake assist failure. Safety was at risk due to being unable to stop the vehicle until it slowed itself down. This could have resulted in a fatality. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle was towed to the dealership today and no answers have been provided. There were no symptoms or signs prior to the total brake failure. Other messages on screen read: one pedal driving disabled, parking brake disabled, rear parking assist disabled.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
The 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’t shut down on the freeway in the middle of nowhere because the charging system failed while I was charging to complete my trip. Fortunately I made it home with 2% battery remaining, but if my house was another 10 miles away, I would’ve been stuck on the side of the road. The Blazer EV is a safety hazard, and multiple other people online are reporting similar problems enough that it could warrant a recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On the evening of [XXX], I was making a left hand turn onto [XXX] from [XXX]. I was the second car in line on the left turn green arrow. The first car went to the right lane. I went into the left lane. My car immediately flashed the light in the front window, the alarm went off, and slammed the brakes as if something was in front of me. Nothing was in front of my car in the left lane. Luckily there wasn't a car on my rear bumper otherwise I would have been rear-ended. This is the 2nd time at the same intersection making the same turn that my Blazer has done that. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN
Vehicle has only 1650 miles on it. It is driven conservatively especially so during the first 1000 miles of use “break in period”. Was leaving our neighborhood and the vehicle was searching for a gear, revving and jerking. Check Engine light came on. Limped the vehicle slowly back home and contacted dealer. Had vehicle towed to dealer and they diagnosed the issue as a faulty valve body. Part is on national backorder.

STEERING
Telescoping adjustable steering wheel would not lock into place. If adjusted to multiple different positions, the steering wheel would fall out of position and drop in height as well as in towards the dashboard without warning. This occurred several times while driving as well as while parked. Took back to the dealership and was told initially that it was just the locking mechanism that needed to be replaced. Now the dealership is telling me that the entire steering column needs to be replaced.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I had problems with my 2024 Chevrolet Blazer RS EV since the first week I purchased it a few months ago. The display would go blank while driving. I was unable to turn the vehicle off due to the controls not being accessible on the display. There is a grinding noise inside my dash and the service vehicle soon light on. The climate controls are unavailable resulting in high heat on defrost. There is a vibration periodically when driving on a smooth road. I have brought the car to the dealership several times and it has been there this time for almost two weeks. They are not able to address the issues stating that parts are on back order. My complaints to GM have not resulted in my request to return the vehicle for a full refund. The GM concierge has called me four times and keeps telling me they will need to call me back after asking questions I have already replied to. GM put a stop sale on this vehicle after selling any about 500 and they have not addressed my concerns.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Although 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 manual is just wrong. The same one pedal drive verbiage appears in both the Chevy Bolt and Cadillac Lyriq owner's manuals.
