TIRES
265 ./ 45 R21 on our 2022 Blazer AWD Premier. I have the tires rotated every 10,000 miles and the vehicle only has 30,600 miles and all 4 tires have worn out, down to 2/32 or 3/32. I have owned 20+ GM vehicles over the past 25 years and I have never had to replace a tire due to tread wear before 45,000-50,000 miles. This is an expensive mid-range SUV and should not have junk tires. It is also my first GM vehicle that has Continental tires. The replacement Continental tire is $370 each. These are expensive tires and the SUV costs more that $55K, this is not ok. I see there is one other complaint filled for tires, but most consumers don’t know this web site exists. I would not except we I called Chevy customer service, they recommend that i file a complaint. I also don’t think most Blazers have 21 tires, i order this vehicle from Chevy with this as an upgrade option. Please research this tire brand and model as well as 2022 Blazer AWD Premiers with 21 tires an i think you will see this is a pervasive problem. Thank you.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
To whom it may concern; my son's fiancé was driving on the highway and the vehicle had a sudden loss of power. Afterward, it turned off and would not re-start. After towing the vehicle to a repair facility (out of warranty by mileage, 45K) were advised they retrieved DTC P023F and advised the fuel pump control module failed. I did some checking and found that GM is aware of the issue and has released T.S.B. #PIP5964C, which states "CRANK NO START, STALLING, LOSS OF POWER, FUEL GAUGE INOPERATIVE/ERRATIC, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATED P023F P129F". Fortunately nothing happened, she is young and smart and was able to handle the situation without incident. However, I shutter to think if my father in-law would have been driving, and/or any individual who would have panicked.

The lift gate on my vehicle closed suddenly and for no apparent reason as I was loading groceries into the vehicle. The lift gate hit me in the back of the head and did NOT retract/open upon contact. I had to quickly lift the lift gate with both hands to get out of the way and press the button for the lift gate to open. A couple of minutes later, the lift gate again closed suddenly and for no apparent reason; however, I was not hurt the second time and was able to move out of the way and press the button to stop/open the lift gate.

POWER TRAIN
My transmission started slipping really badly. Had never happened before, and then suddenly wouldn’t shift above 3rd gear. My reverse gear stopped working. I had to have my valve body replaced which fixed the drive gears but the reverse still didn’t work. After months without my car, my dealership had to replace the transmission.

Started smelling radiator fluid, took to dealership and the radiator had a hole in it. Dealership put a new one in. I drove it home and on my way home the transmission cooler line tapped out and the fluid drained all over the road. Dealership picked it up and repaired it the next day.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Upon inspection when repairing a flat at a tire service center, I was alerted to the fact that my tread on all 4 tires was low almost to the wear markings. The tires only had at the time 15,000 miles on them and the car is less than 3 years old. I would have not known to check this as it is not in the usual lifespan of a tire, especially on a new car. When reviewing my past inspections at service appointments with my Chevrolet dealership, I can see that they have noted the wear but not alerted me. My tire size is 235/65 R18.

ENGINE
Chevy is aware that this vehicle has a fuel pump failure issue. We were not. The vehicle lost all power while my wife was driving on a very busy Fla highway. She attempted to pull the car over to the shoulder. She was in the far-left lane. It had no shoulder. She was unable to make it completely over to the right shoulder due to having no power. Her car was still in part of the right traveling lane of traffic. This put her at great risk of being rear ended by vehicles going 70 mph and possibly killed. She was 60 miles from home, and I could not reach her intime, so a friend nearby helped. When I visited my chevy dealer and expressed my anger over what just happened they informed me that the same thing happened to another customer. Fuel pump failure. Chevy tells us that the fuel pump is on back order over 2 weeks. Chevy is aware of this very dangerous defect and has done nothing about it. Some maybe killed as a result. Losing power on a busy high going 70 mph is very dangerous. Information on the fuel pump failure for this vehicle can be found online. Thank you

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
I am not sure I picked the correct ADAS, however, on 3/4/23 we purchased this auto from Beck Nissian in Palatka Florida. When we purchased this auto it was a used car that had not been owned for very long. We were never told that there were factory recalls that were necessary so that all of the options this auto would work correctly. On July 14 I was in a very busy parking lot and back into a truck damaging my auto. I understand backing up is my responsibility but this auto needed a recall for the back up alert to be put on this auto. I believe if this auto had the options it was suppose to have I could of avoided this accident. This accident cost me a 600 deductible plus extra rental as I needed a larger vehicle because my husband is in a wheelchair. I truly feel that either the dealer or manufacturer should help with these expenses. I have contacted both to no avail. Your help would be appreciated.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The DIC (Driver Information Center) keeps failing since I bought the car. The volume shoots up, the controls will not work, the screen freezes and then goes black, the rear camera stays on in forward motion, it does not always reset after turning off vehicle and opening door. My dealership replaced the module and reprogrammed it. This did not work and it failed shortly after. It went back in the shop again - GM did not have an update for my vin to correct the issue. The dealer is ordering another new DIC this month. It is alarming to be driving the veh and have the volume shoot up to the max and the controls on screen, button or steering wheel will not allow you to fix it. You have to pull over quickly, turn off veh and open door for it to reset. It occurs regularly in my veh. This is a safety issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Two different events, first on the highway press the accelerator to pass, and the accelerator stuck tried to tap the brake did not change, had to repress the accelerator for it to return to normal. Second event pulling the car out of garage, to park in the driveway, when stopped to shift into park, the accelerator was stuck and the motor starting revving up, this time, I just turned the engine off. Also there is nothing to interfere with the accelerator, such as floor mat carpet nothing. My daughter has 2021 Blazer she said the same issues. I know this is just hear say, but on the local news, a lady's car ran out of control and ended up on the railroad tracks, she just made it out before the train hit her car, police report stated she was having problems with the accelerator, another GM product in the same year as our car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
1. the car allow driver to push power off ( engine off) when car is not in P. which is a hazard since driver always want to brake off and get off the car when push power off button. The incident is when I push power off button and open the driver door and almost ready to get off and realize the car is moving since Shifter is not in P which is very dangerous that might hit surrounding and injure drive 2. when car driver door is open, allow driver shift to R or D with the alarm( sound) off. the insident is when I was backing up my car with door not fully closed. I see the door open indication light shows on cluster with 2s alarm then alarm went off and car start moving back. it is really a safety hazard that driver may on the road or freeway with door not fully closed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Dashboard randomly goes black and does not work. This has happened one time while driving and I was unable to determine my speed since the speedometer is digital. I was also unable to see important information like service lights due to the faulty dashboard. Other times it happens right after I start the car in the garage. Also noticed when the dash goes black the climate control system starts to act weird and turns on and off randomly

We were sold a new vehicle with known computer problems. The dealership knew of the defects but sold it to us anyway. They consider it a warranty issue. Chevrolet doesn’t seem to care.
