Blazer 6-cyl

I leased this car October 2019 and I had to tow the car to the dealership on December 12, 2019 for an electrical issue, as the car would not start. In June 2023 with 35,700 miles, I was driving the car when an error messages flashed on the dashboard. First message was to put the car in shift/neutral and immediately I was unable to move the shifter, the break got hard under my foot and the car "STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD". Then it kept flashing the following messages "SERVICE ESC" and "INFORMATION - ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF" and the starter light remained "GREEN". I towed the car to the dealership, however, it took them a week to check the car and as a result the battery died and they missed the "Error Messages and CODES". Without the accurate codes, I was told I had to replace the battery and starter. When I picked up the car the air condition wasn't working, so I had to replace the compressor!!! I was very afraid to drive the car and I had it parked at home for some time. My husband and friends kept encouraging me to drive it etc. Eventually, I gave in and I started to drive the car, but still stressed and afraid and praying the car will not shut off again. The trauma of the car stopping so suddenly in the middle of the road and there was nothing I could have done - is very SCARY. I am just thankful that I was not on a highway when this happened - I could have been killed. However, I decided to drive the car and I now have 38,119 miles on the car. I had to take it to the dealership again on October 24, 2023, as when I park the car, although the shifter is in Park, the dashboard is telling me to put in in park and the Starter button will not turn off. I was advised by the dealership that I need to change the "Shifter Assembly" No one can tell me why the car stopped while driving in the middle of the road and I do not feel safe in this car anymore. I am just changing all the parts in this car one by one!!!

Here are the problems I've been facing: 1. Shift to Park Error: My Blazer often displays a "Shift to Park" message, even when the vehicle is already in the park position. This happens randomly and has no discernible pattern. As a result, the vehicle won't turn off, and I'm forced to repeatedly shift back and forth and apply excessive force to engage the park mode. 2. Steering Assist Reduced Message and Cold Temperature Gauge: Another recurring issue is the appearance of a "Steering Assist Reduced" message. At the same time, the temperature gauge gets stuck at the cold position, and the check engine light remains on. This seems to be a common problem among Blazer owners and requires immediate attention through a recall. 3. Fuel-Related Acceleration Problem: I've noticed a fuel-related problem that affects acceleration. The vehicle experiences sudden slowdowns, with the RPMs dropping, even when I maintain a steady throttle position. Then, out of nowhere, the Blazer regains speed and accelerates. This unpredictable behavior is dangerous and needs to be addressed immediately. 4. Random Loss of Power Steering and Power Brakes: On several occasions, my Blazer has lost power steering and power brakes without any warning. It's incredibly unnerving and puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. It's important to note that my Blazer is well-maintained and has less than 60,000 miles on it. These issues should not be happening under these circumstances. I strongly believe that these problems require the attention of the manufacturer, and I urge them to initiate recalls to rectify these safety concerns.

Bulletin on problem came out in 2019, Chevy did not inform me of this Safety issue, Grandchildren in vehicle at least 2 times. Chevy charged me for the fix, Chevy was aware of problem before warranty expired !

I am experiencing the well know -??shift to park-?? issue. When I move the shifter to the park position and turn off the vehicle, I receive a message stating -??shift to park-?? and I-??m unable to fully power the car off or lock the doors. This is only overcome by trying to wiggle the shifter. The issue is intermittent and the remedy is not always successful. It seems to be happening more frequently. The issue began around 40,000 miles. I have contacted the dealership to diagnose the issue but the repair has not been completed yet.

My 2019 blazer when stopped and put into the park position would say on the dash shift into park so you didn-??t know if it was in park or not, also it would not turn off the motor would stop but none of the electric would turn off until the battery ran down. Not knowing if your car is in park or not is a big safety issue and GM is well aware of this problem on many of its vehicles.

Initially received Stabilitrak dash warning when brakes were applied for longer than 30 seconds (ie., stop light) for several days with no SEL. Then, while driving along a secondary highway at approximately 60mph, all dash lights lit up, power steering failed, power brake assist failed, and vehicle started stumbling. Pulled to side of road and vehicle shut off. Performed restart and was able to complete drive home (approx 3 miles). Upon arrival and shutting off vehicle, all dash lights illuminated then shut off. Vehicle would not start after (no click, no turnover, indicating failed battery). Attempted to charge/maintain battery but battery charger indicated sulfated battery. Multimeter showd 7.5V. Replaced battery and car started normally but all computer functions were reset to factory defaults. The failure of the power steering and brakes due to a faulty battery is an extreme safety issue. The fact that the battery is only 3 years old and internally corroded to the point it can't be charged is both disappointing and an additional safety hazard.

The TBS sensor or switch that tells the vehicle when it has been put in park is malfunctioning. It is not allowing me to park the vehicle correctly and forcing me to start and stop the car multiple times before registering that it is in park. Also, while driving it causes the doors to lock or unlock due to sensing the vehicle is in park or not. To my knowledge this is a widespread issue with GM from 2013-2020. The vehicle has less than 70,000 miles and should not be creating a safety concern for my wife or baby. This needs to be looked into and fixed via a recall. The consumer should not have to pay for the cheap part GM used and should not be failing within 3 years of purchasing the vehicle.
