My 2019 Blazer gave a Steering Assist warning on 2 Nov 2024. I was aware of a recall for other Blazers but for some reason my VIN was not among those recalled. I took it to the dealership on 6 Nov 2024. The dealership has determined that the issue is indeed the same issue with those other Blazers that have been recalled but refuses to include my car in the recall because the VIN number wasn't originally among that recall. I was told that the car needed anew temperature gage and that they would have to order it, however, the component was available outside of the dealership. I paid for the diagnostics and the part, being told that the light(s) would stay on, I would still be able to drive it and that I would receive a call when the part came in. It is my understanding that the steering assist reduced can affect the power steering and essentially revert back to manual power steering, potentially causing a loss of control while driving and increasing the risk of accidents. There were no warnings of the steering failure assist warning. It just appeared on Nov 2, 2024 at 1130am. About 1240pm I noticed that the temp gage was inop and the check engine light was now illuminated. I contend that because GM has already identified the thermostat issue serious enough to do a recall, then all Blazers with that recall issue, VIN number aside, should be given the same consideration and not have to pay for something that GM has already taken responsibility for. The dealership however does not agree for the simple fact that the VIN was not identified in the original recall.

The starter and flex plate failed (cracked) on the vehicle while on the road due to the auto start stop feature. When I stopped for a red light, the car made a loud grinding noise and would not restart leaving me stranded in traffic. The 2019 Blazer has the auto start stop feature which cannot be disabled and likely results in excess wear and tear. GM updated the 2020 model to allow the function to be disabled. GM has a number of technical bulletins highlighting both starter and flex plate issues, the first being in 2020. Both the starter and flex plate failures were verified by Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville TN. I've asked for the flex plate to be provided when repair is complete. There were no warnings via check engine lights or any strange noises prior to the failure.

While driving the Blazer the vehicle lost power. It was missing and didn't want to go. The warning lights came on. I had to call the tow truck to come pick it up. I had it delivered to the shop where I bought it. That was on Sunday, October 6, 2019. On Monday, October 7, 2019 I was called and the conclusion was made that I had a dead injector. They replaced injector #5. picked it up on Tuesday, October 8, 2019. Drove it home and on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 on the way to work, I ended up on the side of the road again. The car did the exact same thing as on Sunday. The car went down to 20 mph. I was able to limp it to a parking lot. I called a tow truck again and took it back to the shop. I am still waiting on the diagnosis as of Friday, October 11, 2019.
