2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV Complaints

Right rear tail light failure. Does not light up with headlamps on or when braking and flashes very fast when signal is turned on. Get a warning message on the info screen stating "Right Rear lamp failure" every time I signal a right turn. Dealer documented issue but states that this is a known issue with no fix at this time and GM instructed dealer to not attempt any repairs at this time. This is a known issue in the GM forums about this vehicle and it is always the right rear LED lamp that has this problem. Potential safety issue when no brake light lights on that side of the car and the fast flashing directional may be confusing to traffic.

On one occasion, the doors locks failed to respond to multiple unlock attempts (using the buttons on 3 of the handles and using the remote). After 5 minutes or so, the door locks finally responded to a command from the key fob to unlock.

On several occasions (10+) the windshield wiper would not activate when turning the dial on the stalk. On all but one occasion, the stalk worked on the next drive. That one occasion, the stalk worked on the following drive. There are no lights or warnings, the wipers just fail to work. This is more problematic

I’ve been in pain for 3 days since the last time my auto braking slammed on the brakes. The situation this time was in the school pick up line, where there are 3 rows of cars and I was in the middle lane. This is a very slow progressing line bc each lane has one car move forward at a time and we then move forward and stop It slammed on the brakes so much harder than I would even have been braking in that scenario and I thought I’d been rear ended. It’s happened another time when I was in moving traffic and created a very dangerous situation which fortunately we did not end up causing a crash. I’ll be disabling the feature immediately as it’s much more dangerous than useful and I am in so much whiplash pain this time around it’s insane

The vehicle will automatically extremely hard brake while moving for no apparent reason, with no obstructions present. This problem startles driver and passenger and can present a danger to vehicle of being hit by other vehicles not expecting a hard braking situation for no apparent reason. Please investigate and make manufacturer responsible to fix the issue. Thank You

When the Automatic Emergency Braking system is enabled, it will suddenly brake when in reverse even though there is no obstacle at the back. The braking is so sudden that it is painful. I reported it to the dealership but they never got back to me about a solution. I have disabled the AEB for now.

Rear suspension was always a little noisy, but ~1,850 miles the driver's side rear sounded like it was detached and breaking through the strut tower. I quit driving the car and make an appointment to drop it off at the dealership on 12/5/24. Dealership confirmed that "fasteners" were broken on the rear strut, in a place that cannot be easily accessed, and confirmed multiple times that it is definitely a problem that existed from the factory. There are two pins on the rear struts that are broken off on my vehicle, and the dealer _strongly_ advised against driving it. My car has now been at the dealership for 51 days as they are awaiting inspection by GM as well as instructions and approval to fix, and the dealership noted that they need to figure out how many cars this affects as well as what the fix will be.

This vehicle with a total of 700 miles on the odometer, gave several warning notifications this morning on my way to work. Service high voltage system, reduced acceleration notification. I was on the interstate and suddenly became unable to accelerate to keep up with traffic, creating a dangerous situation for my safety. This is a know problem with the Blazer EV, as GM had previously issued a stop sale order in December of 2023, a supposed software update was issued and they continue to sell the dangerous vehicles, as the software update did not fix the problem as I just experienced it today, on a car I bought brand new 2 weeks ago with 700 miles on the odometer.

Wipers, Yes available for inspection Wipers would not operate regardless of control speed setting while driving on interstate, could not clean windshield and visibility was dangerously diminished The windshield solvent sprayer did NOT work as well Once I parked, turned off car, started car 30 minutes later and the Wipers were back to operating normally. Not confirmed, because it happens intermittently No Inspections No warning lights or indicators

The emergency brakes engaging in reverse and while in drive. Not available for inspection as the vehicle is now totaled. It was involved in a rollover accident. I believe the emergency brakes caused the rollover. If the rollover was in fact due to the emergency brakes engaging, the accident could have happened on the highway, or a busier street putting several lives in danger. Thankfully, there were no other vehicles involved. The dealership as well as GM were notified of the issue. The dealership was unable to reproduce the issue, and returned the vehicle backed to us. Upon researching online, this is a known issue for the Blazer EVs. After the accident, the vehicle was towed as it was not drivable. The vehicle was then picked up by my insurance company, Progressive, and evaluated if the vehicle was repairable. It is not. The emergency brakes engaged previously to this event. Several times in reverse, then a handful of times in drive.
