2023 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

The brakes squeal and make an odd chirping noise. They grab too. The dealership refused to even look at it unless if I paid for a service. The car is under warranty.

I recently bought a new Trailblazer 2023 last year. I have had problems with a squeaking noise when I apply the brakes. The problems have gotten considerably worse. I have taken it to the dealership and they claim there are no problems. I made an appointment to take it to the dealership again because the squeaking while applying the brakes sounds terrible. I was instructed that there was nothing that could be done until Trailblazer did a recall on the type of brake pads installed in Trailblazers. I was also told that there have been numerous complaints about the same problem I am experiencing. I LOVE my trailblazer and just want the problem corrected.

-The airbag(s) did not deploy. (**Attached police report says it did, but I have pictures showing it didn't, and they are currently in process of correcting the report) I have to pay to get the police report, so since I just obtained it on 3/13, I will wait a few days to get the corrected copy, to ensure it's complete. -The vehicle is either at the towing company or at the insurance company being inspected, but I'm sure it can be available. -I was in a traffic accident with injuries where if the airbags had deployed the injuries could have been prevented. -Unknown if it has been reproduced or confirmed, but I would guess no. -Insurance company was going to pick the vehicle up from the towing company and bring it to their venue to inspect. I'm unsure if that has happened yet. -No

While driving 65-70 MPH cruise control will continuously "bog" down and act like it is wanting to cut off the whole vehicle. transmission is starting to act like it is slipping to the point where I am going all the way to the steering wheel before it catches again. Vehicle is under 36,000 miles and should not be having transmission issues. Radio has been replaced once before but is now doing the same thing where it is not recognizing my phone, directions given to it by touch on screen, and will even completely turn off while in the middle of driving. Will freeze and then act like the screen has 'water' damage. back up camera is not calibrated correctly. It states that I have more than enough room to make a turn but when looking into my mirrors, it is off by almost a foot and a half. I was in a car accident due to the back up camera malfunction with the difference in distance and with the screen malfunctioning. I have had the vehicle inspected by the chevy dealership multiple times and they have stated that there is nothing coming up on the code reader. The vehicle is available for inspection. My children ride in this vehicle and after the accident, I do not deem it quite safe with the malfunctioning parts. There has not been any lights coming on for the issues but the issues are there.

My brand new 2023 Chevrolet trailblazer started having squeaky brakes when it was not even a year old. When brought to the dealership the first time, they changed the pads. This did not help the squeaking. When brought back the second time, the dealership told me that GM told them, “If vehicle returns after the bulletin has been performed, DO NOT attempt any further repairs. Engineering is working on an improvement”. I was told that I have to deal with the squeaking until GM engineers figure out a fix. This has been an issue for this car since 2020. They are NOT trying to fix the problem. Chevrolet customer service also tells me there is not a safety issue. When I asked them, “how do you know for sure this is not a safety issue? If the brakes are squeaking there is obviously a malfunction of some sort.” They could not answer this question.

1-Cracked Coil caused breakdown and gas flooded engine on a road trip 109mi from home, stranded, no accommodations for replacement vehicle during service-May 12-19, 2023 2-Faulty Purge Solenoid Valve-December 4, 2023, serviced and repaired December 7, 2023 3-Engine light same code for evap leak that was repaired, waiting on contact for repair December 9,2023. The first issue caused major safety concerns for myself and my partner, stranded on the side of the highway over 100 miles from home. No police or insurance reports. This will be the 3rd time the vehicle will be serviced for engine repair in the 7 months that it's been driven.

I purchased a 2023 trailblazer in February. And had noticed that the doors hold water in the front of the doors. After a rain or car washing the doors will drain when opened. But after a rain or washing and you leave the doors closed even a couple days later then open the doors water will drain out of each front hole on each door. I took it back to the dealership and the washed it and said that the doors drain while they are open. So I contacted Chevrolet main office and they asked me to take it back to the dealership. So I did while I was walking to the door a salesman came out and I asked him to open the doors on a 2023 trailblazer setting in front of the store. It had rained earlier that day and we watched water leaking out of all the doors. So I asked him to get a couple more trailblazer keys to other ones on the lot and they all leaked water out of the doors. I spoke to the customer service person and he said another owner of the 2023 trailblazer had came in with the same complaint. I spoke again to the main office of Chevrolet and he told me to come here and file a complaint. Since this is a engineering flaw design. So I am hoping to find out what can be done to fix this issue? And what do I do now?

The vehicle lit on fire under the hood while driving. It is only 6 months old and has just 5300 miles on it. No service had been needed nor done on the vehicle yet nor did any of the diagnostic gauges or software alert me to any issues before it happened

Repeat issues with the transmission, ongoing issue for about two months. Initially experienced the vehicle not shifting in drive or reverse, which was resolved in drive. The issue persists when in reverse, where I will put it in gear but it will rev without moving, as if the vehicle is in neutral . The dealership has replaced the valve body three times and is now awaiting other parts to attempt to resolve the issue.
