2024 Chevrolet Blazer service brakes problems

“I entered my vehicle started like normal was heading home when I got in the highway while gaining speed to get on the highway I hit about 60-65mph when my entire car went black my odometer screen went black my entertainment system went black all lights shut off and my car was just rolling I immediately tried to get off the highway and take a video when I got off the roadway everything came back on”

“Auto hold was on, radar cruise control was set and as I was merging in traffic a sharp smell of burning started. The cruise control refused to disengage until I parked the car in garage. Eventually burn smell ended but seems like brake was stuck while acceleration causing a burn smell. It seems like brake could get stuck to wheels perhaps when auto hold is on even when driving? Auto break hold is a feature which keeps the break on while car is stopped.”

“On October 2, 2026, while driving my 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV AWD at approximately 55 miles per hour, I approached a stop sign while traveling downhill on a wet road. I had let off the gas and had slowed to about 35 mls per hour before I applied the break. The road was wet from rain, but I did not believe the vehicle was hydroplaning. They rain had stopped and roads were only moderately wet. I applied the brake pedal normally and continuously held the pedal down. I did not pump or release the brake pedal. The vehicle appeared to activate ABS. I could feel what seemed like repeated braking and releasing/pulsing while I continued holding the brake pedal down. Despite continuously applying the brake, the vehicle did not slow and stop as I expected and continued moving toward the stop sign. The car continued through the stop sign and the brake failure almost caused me to hit another vehicle. Once I was past the other car I turned onto Lakeview Heights and drove at about the same speed (35) and it did the same thing at the next stop sign. I did not intentionally test the ABS or attempt an emergency maneuver. This occurred during normal braking for a stop sign. The…”

“The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 15-20 MPH and pulling into the driveway, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle entered the garage, and struck equipment along with the garage wall, causing structural damage. The contact stated that the front driver's side air bag failed to deploy and the Forward Collision Avoidance system failed to engage as expected. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the contact was informed that no braking system failure was found; however, the contact believed that the failure was not identified because the system had rebooted prior to arrival at the dealer. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired at the dealer's body service center. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Action Number: EA26006 (Service Brakes). The failure mileage was approximately 20,800.”

“Since buying the car in 2024 I have experienced multiple incidents where the system hard brakes for no reason, including times while driving. The emergency recall on this vehicle was repaired last year and since that repair this issue has occurred 2 more times, once earlier in 2026 and then most recently as yesterday despite claims by GM the issue has been fixed. My daughter currently drives this vehicle and is afraid she is going to get into an accident because of this issue. I tried to initiate a buyback but due to the miles on the vehicle GM would only settle for 4k.”

“While driving my 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, the vehicle suffered a sudden, complete failure of the power braking assist system. The failure was accompanied by a rapid cascade of three sequential dashboard warning messages in immediate succession: First Warning: "Service ESC" illuminated alongside the "Brake Park" warning light. Second Warning: "Brake Assist Failure. Press Hard to Brake. Speed Limited" illuminated with "Brake Park" remaining on. Third Warning: "Brake System Failure. 62 MPH Top Speed" illuminated with "Brake Park" remaining on. Immediately upon these warnings triggering, the power braking assist and emergency mechanical reserve failed completely. When pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not slow down, and the pedal failed to engage the brakes. To avoid a catastrophic intersection collision and bring the vehicle to a halt, I was forced to deliberately steer the vehicle into a concrete curb to use friction to stop the car. The vehicle is a total loss of braking safety and cannot be driven. Safety Risk: The sudden loss of braking assist creates an immediate crash hazard, as stopping distances are severely multiplied.
