2022 Chevrolet Blazer problems

“1. Vehicle completely shut off at a stoplight during the nighttime. The vehicle lost all power including lights, hazard lights, horn and electrical system. Would not start back up for several minutes while sitting in the middle of the highway during the nighttime, creating an immediate safety hazard in traffic. Vehicle self-corrected after a few minutes.”

“I had no warning or indication whatsoever that my battery was going bad. I was at a major red light and my car shut down, then started back on its on with the entire panel lite up. The light changed and when I tried to turn I had hardly any stirring and almost no brakes. I almost ran into the car in front of me. I was able to get it into a parking spot and then it still gave me no light or notice of a battery issue. Because it had a recall on it that was repaired four days prior I had it towed to the dealership. They told me it was the battery but even when I picked up the car (for AAA to install the battery), it still showed 13.6% power on a 14 volt battery. This issue almost caused me to have an accident and caused me to waste $168 for a tow.”

“I am reporting a severe powertrain safety hazard involving my 2022 Chevrolet Blazer at approximately 69,000 miles. The vehicle's 9-speed transmission is experiencing a critical internal hydraulic failure that causes unpredictable and violent lurching. Specifically, there is a severe delayed engagement when shifting into Reverse. The engine revs without moving until the hydraulic pressure suddenly spikes, causing the vehicle to violently slam backwards and catch the gear. Furthermore, the transmission exhibits harsh and slipping shifts while driving forward, specifically violently jerking during the 2nd-to-3rd gear upshift. ​These exact symptoms align with widely documented hydraulic control and valve body defects in the GM 9T50/9T65 transmissions, which are known to cause harsh shifts, delayed engagement, and flaring between gears. Concurrent with these transmission failures, the ABS warning light illuminated. An independent shop misdiagnosed the severe drivability issue as a standard ABS fault, while a local Chevrolet dealership denied Goodwill assistance despite this being a premature internal transmission failure. ​This creates a severe safety hazard.

“The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated, and after turning off the vehicle, the fan continued running, causing the battery to drain. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the thermostat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that recently while operating the vehicle, the steering assist warning light remained illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under an extended warranty coverage associated with the thermostat. The failure mileage was 51,000.”

“My 2022 Chevrolet Blazer abruptly Shut down all power for about five seconds while I was stopped at a red light. The vehicle restarted after I pressed the push-button ignition, but the dashboard displayed a brake system error warning with no explanation of the cause or instructions for next steps. No other warning lights preceded the shutdown. The vehicle appeared to resume normal operation after restart, but the brake system warning remained. This appears consistent with complaints filed by other 2022 Blazer owners describing simultaneous electrical and brake system failures.”

“As I accelerated after the traffic light turned green the vehicle stalled. I was able to move the vehicle to the curb on XXX [XXX] is a two-way road. The vehicle stalled while on an active road which could have led to my vehicle being rear ended causing potential injuries to myself and other drivers. The engine turned over and there was fuel in the gas tank, however, the vehicle wouldn't start. A warning light showed: "low battery", but since the engine was trying to start, it seems unlikely that the battery was low. A second warning light showed: "battery saving" mode. These lights appeared once the vehicle was parked on the curb of the road. The vehicle was towed to David Chevrolet, a GM dealership on [XXX] about 2 miles away.”
