2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV Complaints

I have had the car for 3 weeks and twice it has slammed on the brakes for an instant at slow speed. Both times I was at least 20 feet behind another vehicle travelling at less than 10mph when the brakes locked up for an instant throwing me against the seatbelt very hard and bringing me to an emergency stop. The first time the stop was so hard I thought the car behind me had hit me but it had not. I thought maybe it was the emergency braking but there was no alert or warning as there usually is when the car warns me of possible collision. The last time I contacted OnStar and asked the run a diagnostic which they said came back with no errors. I have not taken the car to the dealer since i cannot reproduce the problem.

Complete brake failure 4 times in the first 450 miles. Can turns on and power brakes and not functioning. Clears after a restart.

This vehicle massively underperforming based on what was told to me at the time of sale (250–300-mile range), I have never come even close to that range. I am averaging about 125 miles using about 70% of the fully charged battery. I WAS informed that during colder temperatures I would experience faster battery degradation but it was not mentioned that it could be as dramatic as losing 50% of my range. I feel the mileage has been massively inflated to seem better situated to compete in today's EV market at the direct expense of consumers. In addition to the blatant falsehoods I have been told, the automatic emergency braking is seriously dangerous and primed to get people killed. In 6 months of driving, I have had no less than 4 separate experiences in which the AEB system engaged when there was not a vehicle or pedestrian infront or around my vehicle, engaging a full locked braked at speeds between 15 - 25 mph.

The Blazer EV 2024 completely SHUT OFF while I was driving at an incline while motorist were accelerating behind me I was about .05 miles from the freeway where I was headed delivering the vehicle due to warnings firing off the day before the incident there was also a significant drop in Battery from 80% to 73% within a 5 mile drive. I was unable to connect to OnStar unable to put Hazards on , it started upon its own with multiple warnings and was non operational however I was able to reach to on Star who sent police and a tow truck to take to Camino Real Chevy. It was terrifying and to think I was almost on the highway! This is a FATAL SAFETY CONCERN. The GM never contacted me regarding the incident . I leased it on 11/01:2024. It was towed in non operational on 11/22/2024. It has been in the service Department since with no response as to what is going on with the vehicle or any attempts in appropriately rectifying a SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT in the vehicle they sold me. There was NO warnings that came on before the vehicle shut off. The vehicle skidded forward I was thrusted forward . I am terrified to be placed back into this defective vehicle . I do not wish to allow this to occurred once or twice more to be considered a lemon . My LIFE AND OTHERS ARE AT HIGH RISK for a FATAL INCIDENT to occur .. I have photos videos and have filed complaints to GM Corporate ,BBB AUTOLINE Consumer Affairs , and the Attorney General of California.

There is an interment issue with my passenger, rear turn signal. Once activated, it will flash three times, and then display a "Check Right Rear Turn Lamp" message. My front and mirror light still flash, but flash rapidly to indicate an issue with the rear signal. The rear signal does not flash, but periodically will flash quickly for 2-3 flashes and go out again. The dealership stated it "...could be a list of things..." and are currently trying to find a resolution. The vehicle had a stored "low amperage" code when the dealership pulled the codes. This first happened early morning on 11/13/24 and again happened early morning on 11/14/24. Obviously having an interment rear turn signal is a safety issue.

This may or may not be a true safety issue depending on definition. The charge door will not open some of the time. It starts to open and then closes right a way. Depending on where you are this could be a safety issue in that you could get stuck somewhere not close to any kind of service to get the door open. You could just be in a place that is just not safe to be stranded for a period of time. This problem is preventable. I my case it appears to be dust getting in a switch that causes it not to lower when the door starts to open. It takes me put to 20 times so far to get the door open when I am home with plowing air in side the door during the short time it is partly open. You will find many variations of complained on the issue on the Blazer EV Forum. Here is an example. [XXX] . I am not aware of GM recognizing this problem. This has happened to me 3 times now while at home. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Automatic emergency braking engages violently on occasions when there is no obstruction present. It has left me at times with my vehicle stationary half way into a high speed traffic lane with the parking brake engaged. The time it takes to disengage the brakes leaves the vehicle in a dangerous position in the roadway.

I’ve had intermittent issues where the one pedal driving feature would disable itself. Last night I narrowly avoided a T-bone collision as the OPD deactivated and as I approached a junction it took me a second to realize the car was not stopping and it was only by sheer luck that the other vehicle stopped abruptly so we didn’t collide.

The collision avoidance and automatic breaking is know. To be defective enough that employees on the forum suggest changing to alert only. But it goes off so much that I tend to ignore it subconsciously which could lead to a serious accident

Vehicle lost electrical functions while driving. Brakes and power steering failed.
