ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
Shift to park has came on the dash. Can not shut the car off. This will mean I will have to unplug the battery and not be able to lock the car. This is the first that it has occurred. Will have to schedule an appointment with the dealership on Monday.

This is less an incident and more like a concern. I noticed a slight shudder upon accelerating. It started at lower speeds, approximately 25-30 mph, and shifting between second and third gear. Now with daily driving, the shudder has progressively gotten worse. It now happens at higher speeds, approximately 50-55 mph, and has become more violent. There is also now an acceleration and deceleration issue whether my foot is on the accelerator or I have the vehicle on cruise control. After some research, reading several service bulletins and forum posts, I have learned that the problem component is the torque converter in the transmission. Chevrolet is aware of the problem and has issued a service bulletin, PIP560C, recommending a drain and fill claiming that will fix the problem. I had this done in accordance with the bulletin, and it only made the problem worse. After talking with more than one mechanic, I was told that if this problem is not fixed, the vehicle could stall and the transmission could lock/seize up. This could present a safety issue by posing a potential cause of an accident if the vehicle stalls in the middle of a highway or busy street. This issue also can potentially cause further transmission failure.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
Snow/Ice build up inside tire rim's, causing improper tire balance. And also brake to freeze up when vehicle is parked, during driving in winter snow conditions. When driving on interstate roads at speed limit, the vehicle start's to shake a lot , like a flat tire. I talked to a Chevy dealer service manager about it and he said that their wasn't any safety massage out on that problem. I've never had a wheel snow/ice up like that before !! So now during the winter I check and clean out the snow/ice out of the wheel rim to prevent the vibration and driving problem. No warning light came on. It just shook the car real badly while driving on the highway.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When Driving the vehicle, usually around 1500 rpm, you feel the transmission start to stutter, and during this stuttering, the whole car shakes violently. this violent shaking occurs on the highway with speeds of 70mph and over. the shaking causes the steering wheel and lane centering function to become disoriented, hence almost causing me to get into an accident on the highway. This is not an isolated incident for my vehicle only. I am in a chevy 2019 blazer group on facebook and dozens of members have experienced this same exact issue. the members that got it repaired had to have the entire transmission replaced. apparently it is an issue with the gears not fitting properly and grinding causing shavings to get into the the transmission fluid causing the danger. I have addressed this issue with the chevy dealership i bought it from but the refused to document it or take accountability for the issue.

POWER TRAIN
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the engine remained idling; however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact was able to navigate the vehicle off the roadway. The check engine warning light then illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the connecting transmission coolant hose had disconnected due to a missing clip, and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My complaint is with the standard HID headlights in the 2019 Blazer and the very poor mounting system. The headlights are mounted TOO LOW to be effective in lighting the roadway, particularly where no shoulder stripping is on the roadway. Too, at unlighted intersections the lighting so poor that safe left or right turns cannot be accomplished. The HID lights themselves are a poor design in that they do not offer any useable peripheral lighting to add vision to the road shoulders. Due to the low mounting, the HID do not adequately shine light onto the road surface. Rather the available light shines across the surface and not down on it had the lights been mounted at the top of the fenders as most lights are mounted and designed. This has been an ongoing issue with the vehicle since purchasing the car new in November of 2018.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I am experiencing the well know “shift to park” issue. When I move the shifter to the park position and turn off the vehicle, I receive a message stating “shift to park” and I’m unable to fully power the car off or lock the doors. This is only overcome by trying to wiggle the shifter. The issue is intermittent and the remedy is not always successful. It seems to be happening more frequently. The issue began around 40,000 miles. I have contacted the dealership to diagnose the issue but the repair has not been completed yet.

SEATS
The front passenger seat belt was not clicking in. There was no damage done to the seat belt it just stopped working. The car is only 3 years old the seatbelt should not fail this is a safety issue. I had to pay $366 to fix it at the dealer. They said it was no longer under warranty and since there was not a recall they would not pay for it.

I have had problems with my 2019 chevrolet blazer since I bought it. Incidents as follows: computer screen stated fuck off...took car to dealership and I was told they never saw anything like that. They suggested to set back to manufacturer radiodefault. SD card has been removed is what the vehicle was telling me . Took to dealer,I was told they could set radio back to factory settings...On star was not on star,at one point I said to on star ...you are lying you are not really on star and the person on the other end laughed I have many police reports about this issue. Continental tire burst, so I replaced tire not knowing what caused this incident.I replaced with another continental tire.car bucks sometimes when shifting...took to dealer , I was told because of incline, there are no hills mountains or anything like this where I live.when I turn the car off a bell will sound...and displays shift to park...I am in park,so I will have to turn car off and restart 5 or 6 times. I have issue after issue since I purchased this vehicle in 2019 off the showroom floor .and today's date is 11-10-22 Also rear camera will come on when the vehicle is turned off this has been an ongoing problem. An app was downloaded on my vehicles computer, called manufacturer and I asked if a satellite flewover my my vehicle because the app was not on the screen before.she stated she never heard of that. An app on my computer screen was deleted as I sat in the car looking at the screen.

My 2019 blazer when stopped and put into the park position would say on the dash shift into park so you didn’t know if it was in park or not , also it would not turn off the motor would stop but none of the electric would turn off until the battery ran down . Not knowing if your car is in park or not is a big safety issue and GM is well aware of this problem on many of its vehicles .

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Initially received Stabilitrak dash warning when brakes were applied for longer than 30 seconds (ie., stop light) for several days with no SEL. Then, while driving along a secondary highway at approximately 60mph, all dash lights lit up, power steering failed, power brake assist failed, and vehicle started stumbling. Pulled to side of road and vehicle shut off. Performed restart and was able to complete drive home (approx 3 miles). Upon arrival and shutting off vehicle, all dash lights illuminated then shut off. Vehicle would not start after (no click, no turnover, indicating failed battery). Attempted to charge/maintain battery but battery charger indicated sulfated battery. Multimeter showd 7.5V. Replaced battery and car started normally but all computer functions were reset to factory defaults. The failure of the power steering and brakes due to a faulty battery is an extreme safety issue. The fact that the battery is only 3 years old and internally corroded to the point it can't be charged is both disappointing and an additional safety hazard.
