2020 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

Steering assist reduced warning is on all the time. Fan is on overdrive and thermostat needle on cool all the time. Leaking camshaft actuator solenoids

I purchased this vehicle in March, 2025 from a used dealer. When I got it, I noticed the vehicle was leaking oil on my garage floor. I took it back to used dealer who also agreed there is a leak but couldn't detect it. They sent me to Chevy Dealer. It has been 3 months now and dealer states the transmission has a seal leak. It seems like a similar recall on same year and model, however my vehicle is not listed as a recall. Why isn't there one?

I am experiencing the well known "shift to park message" while the shifter is in park. I cannot turn the vehicle off and I am worried the battery will die. This is a well documented issue with this vehicle, and several other models outlined in TSB 19-NA-206, for years and yet they refuse to issue a recall to repair the faulty design or component . I have reached out to them via email, but no action has been taken, see email below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GM Customer Care, I am writing to request assistance regarding an issue with my 2020 Chevy Blazer VIN# [XXX] . This is my fourth new GM vehicle, and while it is currently outside the 36-month warranty period, the vehicle has only 18,800 miles on it. Recently, the vehicle began displaying a persistent "Shift to Park" message on the Driver Information Center, despite the gearshift being in the Park position. As a result, the vehicle remains in the ON position and cannot be turned off. This is a well-documented issue affecting several GM models, including the Blazer, Acadia, Malibu, Traverse, and Volt. For reference, please see TSB 19-NA-206 attached. Repair costs for this issue appear to vary widely, sometimes exceeding $1,000 depending on location and dealership. Given that this appears to be a known design or component issue, I do not believe this should be an out-of-pocket expense for the customer. As a long-time GM customer, I respectfully request that GM cover the cost of this repair. I am disappointed that there has been no proactive recall or service campaign, especially considering the volume of customer complaints reported online. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response and hope GM will stand behind its products in this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The message "Shift to neutral and press the start button" was displayed. The police assisted with traffic control while the vehicle was pushed to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to start.

The contact stated that the failure recurred several times, and the vehicle responded as needed after several attempts. After several attempts, the check engine light was illuminated.

The approximate failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

When I come to a stop, in an attempt to park, I will shift into park but a message will appear on my dash saying to shift to park this prevents me from shutting off the vehicle. The issue is persistent at times, but happens intermittently.

Shift to park message began appearing even after the shifter knob was in park. I cannot turn the vehicle off and it rolled backwards due to the vehicle not recognizing it was in park. This has now cost $700 to repair when its been a known issue with these vehicles for over 6 years and yet they refuse to issue a recall. This is dangerous and disgusting practice for a vehicle manufacturer to avoid keeping their customers safe.

My vehicle has been throwing an error code related to the thermostat. The temperature gauge will remain on C resulting in the fan running loudly, the air conditioner not cooling the cabin of the vehicle well, and a message displaying "steering assist is reduced drive with care". When I check the fluid levels everything is fine without issue. I'm VERY frustrated and want to get rid of my Blazer ASAP.

A few months ago had Blazer in for oil change. That same day check engine light came on. Was told thermostat needed to be replaced. Needed to order part. Check engine light went out then steering maybe reduced just a week ago eventually check engine light came on. Took to dealership and thermostat needed to be replaced also radiator developed a leak. Just over 60000 miles
