2021 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

there are no tethering clips at the base of the rear seat to secure a child's car seat. The bottom of the rear seat shows they should be there but the dealer confirms they are not . This is an immediate and dangerous problem and puts any child in a car seat in a chevy trail blazer at risk. Not sure how I'm going to secure the granddaughter's car seat safely .

My issue is with the vehicle's car seat latches. The latches in the Chevy Trailblazer (Manufactured) are designed in a way that is unsafe and also hard to install a car seat for children who are 2 and under or under 40 pounds. Car seat safety is important for all children as it could lead to damages of the head, neck, and or spine. I have installed 4 car seats in my vehicle (Chevy Trailblazer) with it being difficult but overcoming the problem. However, the car seat detaches itself due to the location of the latch (Vertically Slanted). After using the car seat multiple times, it cannot withstand the tension due to the location of the latch which then releases itself from the latch, potentially allowing for more problems to occur and is concerning for the safety of a child. I have, as of now, not have to deal with this problem with other manufacturers like Toyota, Kia, Tesla, Volkswagen, and Honda, where the latch is horizontal. The latch on GMs Vehicles is Vertically Slanted and located left or right of the manufacturers noted car seat latch display/button on the seat. I have only seen the Chevy Trailblazer (My Vehicle) and the GMC Yukon with this problem. I am sure there are others.

Whenever I accelerate over 65 miles per hour the engine and transmission light comes on and the car goes into reduced engine speed. I get a message to service my engine I took it to the dealership, they could not figure out the problem because the engine light only stays on for a day or so and then goes out again. This issue has been happening more frequently over the last few weeks.

The radio screen is constantly going black or glitching, the music will silence, the back up camera will stop working. Carplay does not connect often, also glitches in and out when driving. There is little to no air or heat coming from the floor panel when feet option is pressed for climate. In order to feel heat or A/C have to be on face option.

Shortly after purchase, one of the factory tires had a side bulge. The dealer indicated in their opinion, was from a pot hole. However when they checked the rim, it was not damaged. I had tire replaced. Then at 39K miles, all the the other tires were already getting worn out. I've NEVER had tires wear about pre-40K miles in all my life. At local belle tire, they told me that the Hankook tires that come with new cars are not the same quality as those you would buy at tire store. But I submitted a replacement claim to Hankook, as the belle tire rep suggested, but they would not honor anything. Simply said need tire insurance. I notice when buying the car new, the dealers offer extra (cost) tire insurance. Must be because the are lousy, compared to buying at a local tire store. Now at 42K I'm replacing tires already. New cars should come with same quality tires as you buy at tire stores. And I will tell everyone about poor quality of Hankook brand.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle at night, while reversing the vehicle, the back-up camera image became extremely bright creating a visibility hazard for the driver. The contact stated that the display screen was too bright to see images at the rear of the vehicle. Additionally, while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an extremely loud audible squealing sound inside the cabin of the vehicle. The contact stated that after a while, the vehicle ceased. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.

Very strong gas smells coming from under the hood. After driving a few miles, fumes enter the passenger compartment. Had to stop parking it in our garage for fear of a fire before I could get it into the dealer. I've been told it's a fuel leak associated with the fuel rail system. I'm 20 days past my warranty and only at 29,000 miles. It's a nearly $2000 fix. GM was aware of the problem in 2021 as there is a service bulletin for this item. I should have been notified in 2021 that there was a possible problem which could lead to a fire or explosion.

The car will all of a sudden make a loud popping noise through the radio. It is enough to scare someone while they are driving and have a wreck. The brakes are very touchy to the point of almost giving you whiplash

When putting the vehicle in park I receive a messege saying "shift to park" this means the vehicle is not recognizing I put the vehicle in park. This is a safety issue my truck is not even off when this message pops up. GMc knows about this issue and their is not a recall on it. Dealer will not fix the issue becazue it actually has to say that messege when they are diagnosing the problem. It does it randomly but more frequent now. I call gmc the only thing they can tell me is record it when it does it as a paper trail I guess. They are saying the same thing the dealership is saying they can't diagnose the problem without the shift to park messege. Been having this problem when I hit 20,000 miles
