2020 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

Shift to park message on display when car is already in park, preventing the car from turning off completely draining the battery completely.

When I try to park the car, it says shift to park. Sometimes I can’t get the car to go into park to exit the vehicle or other times. I’ve shut the door and it has stayed on with the accessories because it won’t shut off

"Steering Assist Reduced” warning message appears on dashboard display and temperature gauge stuck on cold on the dashboard display. I understand this such a common issue with the 2019 and 2020 Blazer that General Motors has issued Technical Service Bulletins but refuses to repair these vehicles for free. This is unacceptable! Issue a mandatory recall therefore GM must perform the repairs for free.

Warning message indicating steering assist system reduced, engine fan running non-stop, AC blowing hot air, temperature gauge not registering/stuck on cold. Faulty engine temperature sensor and thermostat.

I backed my vehicle out of the garage and put it in park and stepped out of the Driver's door. I was going to put my son in his car seat in the rear seat when the vehicle started moving backwards and the opened driver's door knocked us down. I was able to push my son out of the way, but the vehicle continued and the front left tire rolled over both of my legs. The vehicle continued in reverse along the driveway, struck a trash container and went up the incline at the main road. It crossed a busy two lane road and into my neighbors yard. The vehicle came to a stop about 10 feet from our neighbor's house without striking anything else. We purchased this car used with just under 300 mile on it. During the time that we've owned it, it has randomly flashed a "Shift to Park" warning lamp on the dash when I shift it to park and turn it off. It has never done what happened to me today. A few months ago, my husband and I took the car to the GM dealership to have it checked out before the warranty expired. We told them about the "Shift to Park" warning lamp and that the car was shifting hard while driving it. They kept the car a few days and told us they were unable to find anything wrong with it.

Similar to the Bulletin No.: PIP5681C The flex pipe bracket is cracked on my 2020 chevy blazer this causes rattling and whining noises due to the part rubbing against where it was previously connected.

Vehicle thermostat would read cold while operating and the AC was not working. A message would populate in the dash stating "steering assist is reduced drive with care." Multiple forums stated it was a thermostat issue or temperature sensor. Also attempted to disconnect the battery for several minutes which would in turn clear the message and all would be working fine. This has been done multiple times and is at random when the message and AC stop working

The original issue was that the temperature gauge was pegged on cold and the A/C was inoperative. The vehicle’s fans would run continuously even when the engine was cold. This created a safety concern since the engine’s actual temperature could not be monitored, and loss of A/C affected drivability in hot conditions. The issue appears related to the engine’s coolant temperature sensor or thermostat system, which causes incorrect signals to the temperature gauge and HVAC system. The condition has been reported by multiple owners of the 2020 Chevy Blazer 3.6L. In my case, the malfunction happened suddenly and has been repeatable. There were no prior warning lamps until the issue occurred, at which point the temperature gauge stopped working properly and the air conditioning failed.

After the vehicle has been put into parked and attempted to shut off, a message displays “Action Required Shift To Park”. Although the vehicle is in parked there is some kind of sensor that is not reading it is in park. Vehicle first started doing this when parked on an incline but frequently happens since the first occurrence. One temporary solution is to shift into different gear or shake the gear shift.
