At the same time, the air conditioning stopped functioning properly and the vehicle began displaying a warning message indicating that steering assist is unavailable or reduced. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This condition creates a safety concern because the steering assist warning indicates a potential reduction or loss of power steering assistance, which could increase steering effort and make the vehicle more difficult to control, particularly during low-speed maneuvers or emergency situations. The warning appears during normal vehicle operation and can distract the driver. The ongoing failure of multiple vehicle systems raises concerns about the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle. The problem has been present continuously since first appearing at approximately 40,000 miles and is fully reproducible. The condition occurs every time the vehicle is driven and has not corrected itself. Symptoms include the engine cooling fan running continuously, loss of air conditioning, and a steering assist warning message.

My vehicle has fewer than 100,000 miles and has experienced significant transmission failure symptoms, including hard shifting, jerking during acceleration, RPM fluctuations, slipping, loss of normal power, and inability to safely reach highway speeds. The vehicle struggles to accelerate properly and at times will not shift correctly into higher gears. Diagnostic trouble codes related to transmission operation have been present, including pressure control solenoid and transmission control faults. Repairs have already been attempted, including replacement of transmission-related components, but the transmission continues to malfunction. Through online owner groups, forums, and discussions with other Chevrolet Blazer owners, I have found numerous reports from owners experiencing similar transmission problems in 2019-2022 Chevrolet Blazers. Many owners report transmission slipping, harsh shifting, torque converter issues, valve body failures, pressure control solenoid failures, and complete transmission replacement at relatively low mileage. These failures create a serious safety concern because the vehicle may hesitate, lose power, fail to accelerate properly when entering traffic, or be unable to maintain safe highway speeds. Drivers and passengers are placed at risk when a vehicle cannot respond normally during merging, passing, or other traffic situations. Owners are frequently being quoted between $7,000 and $12,000 for transmission replacement or repair despite the vehicles being relatively new and often having less than 100,000 miles. Many consumers believe these failures indicate a widespread defect rather than normal wear and tear. I request that NHTSA investigate transmission failures in the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer and related model years to determine whether a manufacturing or design defect exists and whether a recall or other corrective action is warranted.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11744808,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/11/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"06/17/2026","vin":"3GNKBCRS3LS","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEAT BELTS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL","summary":"The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Blazer.

My vehicle has developed a coolant smell outside the vehicle, which raises concerns about a coolant leak from the radiator. After researching the issue, I discovered that numerous Chevrolet Blazer owners have reported similar coolant-related problems, including radiator failures, coolant leaks, and persistent coolant odors. These complaints are widely discussed across online forums, social media, and owner groups. General Motors appears to be aware of this recurring issue, yet many owners continue to experience failures within and outside of warranty coverage. The coolant smell is concerning because it may indicate a leak within the cooling system, which could lead to overheating, engine damage, loss of vehicle reliability, and potential safety risks while driving. Owners should not be experiencing major cooling system failures on relatively modern vehicles. I request that NHTSA investigate the cooling system and radiator issues affecting the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer and determine whether a defect exists that warrants a recall or other corrective action. The number of similar complaints suggests this may be a systemic issue rather than isolated incidents. General Motors should be held accountable for addressing this widespread problem and providing a permanent repair solution for affected owners.

The vehicle came to a stop about 10 feet from our neighbor's house without striking anything else. We purchased this car used with just under 300 mile on it. During the time that we've owned it, it has randomly flashed a \"Shift to Park\" warning lamp on the dash when I shift it to park and turn it off. It has never done what happened to me today. A few months ago, my husband and I took the car to the GM dealership to have it checked out before the warranty expired. We told them about the \"Shift to Park\" warning lamp and that the car was shifting hard while driving it. They kept the car a few days and told us they were unable to find anything wrong with it.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11692227,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/05/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"10/08/2025","vin":"3GNKBKRS5LS","components":"ENGINE","summary":"Engine light on, power steering assist, air conditioning stop working diagnostic tool read p0128 coolant thermostat","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11691458,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/08/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"10/05/2025","vin":"3GNKBCRS4LS","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Similar to the Bulletin No.: PIP5681C The flex pipe bracket is cracked on my 2020 chevy blazer this causes rattling and whining noises due to the part rubbing against where it was previously connected.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11691268,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/03/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"10/03/2025","vin":"3GNKBJRS2LS","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Vehicle thermostat would read cold while operating and the AC was not working.

I have reached out to them via email, but no action has been taken, see email below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GM Customer Care, I am writing to request assistance regarding an issue with my 2020 Chevy Blazer VIN# [XXX] . This is my fourth new GM vehicle, and while it is currently outside the 36-month warranty period, the vehicle has only 18,800 miles on it. Recently, the vehicle began displaying a persistent \"Shift to Park\" message on the Driver Information Center, despite the gearshift being in the Park position. As a result, the vehicle remains in the ON position and cannot be turned off. This is a well-documented issue affecting several GM models, including the Blazer, Acadia, Malibu, Traverse, and Volt. For reference, please see TSB 19-NA-206 attached. Repair costs for this issue appear to vary widely, sometimes exceeding $1,000 depending on location and dealership. Given that this appears to be a known design or component issue, I do not believe this should be an out-of-pocket expense for the customer. As a long-time GM customer, I respectfully request that GM cover the cost of this repair. I am disappointed that there has been no proactive recall or service campaign, especially considering the volume of customer complaints reported online. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response and hope GM will stand behind its products in this matter.

Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced the check engine light turning on and off repeatedly, without consistent resolution. The following issues have occurred over time, all seemingly related to the engine or control systems: Engine Cooling System Failure: The first major issue involved the engine cooling system. This caused the vehicle to overheat and required service. I was concerned about the potential for engine damage or fire risk due to excessive heat. Variable Valve Timing (VVT) System Malfunction: Shortly after the cooling system issue, the vehicle began experiencing problems with the variable valve timing system. This not only affected performance and fuel efficiency but also caused the check engine light to illuminate again. Steering Control Assist Sensor Warnings: Most recently, the steering control assist sensor has started to malfunction, with warnings frequently popping up on the dashboard. This has impacted steering feel and raises serious safety concerns. Despite multiple service appointments and repairs, these problems persist or reappear. This cycle of temporary fixes without a lasting resolution is both frustrating and concerning from a safety standpoint.

The vehicle is at a GM Dealership now and is available for inspection. I have not authorized repairs as of yet.

The dealership has suggested: Mechanical repair costs $1,850, Plus an additional $2,000 due to wheel well damage caused by the failure. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I am being told by the dealership: The ball joint on the control arm on the left side seized snapping the axle shaft - causing the tire to to turn out. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Due to my slow speed turning out of the parking lot ~10 mph - the vehicle came to a sudden halt. However, had this occurred while driving any faster - it would have been very dangerous and put myself and others at significant risk. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? It was towed by AAA and has been inspected by the GM Dealership. That is the only inspection thus far. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Earlier in the day while pulling out of a parking spot and turning the wheel to the left I thought I felt some type of resistance then it went away as I started driving.

It has a little over 63,000 miles on it. I took it to a private service garage where they diagnosed the code as P0128, or coolant system issue. They concluded that it was the thermostat. I did some checking on the warranty and it turns out that the warranty on this car expired at 61,066 miles. I then took it to Serra Chevrolet in Grand Blanc, MI where they diagnosed the same error code, or P0128. They took the car back to give me a service estimate and when they returned they diagnosed not only the thermostat as defective. This has become a common problem with this car and the 3.6 liter engine in particular. We have been told that this is a \"known issue\" by two different General Motors dealerships, specifically in their respective service departments. However, the owners are now having to pay for the complete replacement, both parts and labor, for these issues. Given the fact that these are a known issue, it seems to me that these need to be elevated to at least a bulletin, if not a full recall. The repair and replacement for the thermostat and sensor is in excess of $1,000. Again, since this is a known issue, it is my belief that General Motors should pay these expenses.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11587976,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/05/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"05/10/2024","vin":"3GNKBHRS3LS","components":"STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Message pops up saying steering assist is reduced please drive with care.

These were the original tires that came with our 2020 Chevrolet Blazer. While driving on dry roads the car felt like it was on marbles, wanting to wiggle on the road. We took it to our locale Chevy dealership, they took a short look at the tires, and told us to have them replaced very soon. I started do research on new tires and also found out that Continental had put out a Voluntary tire recall there, this was for 93,959 of their passenger tires. But only certain mold dates and serial numbers were on this list. We had only one of our four tires on their list. All four tires had the same wear pattern, the outside tread of each tire had worn down to approximately 0.150\", with the inside of tire tread at approximately 0.205\". Probably near normal wear for a 22,800 mile tire. To me the malfunction was with the outside tire breaking down and becoming weak, causing the excessive wear and unstable driving experience, putting the car at risk of accident and all passengers in it. We replaced them with Goodyear Maxlife tires. One of the tires with the serial #[XXX] was on the recall list, Continental paid for it to be returned to them, and verified that it was on recall, they are to pay us for 1/2 of its life. Contacting them again, I told them again that all the tires had the same wear pattern. They then asked for the other 3 remaining tires to inspect. After they inspected the other 3 tires they have denied any other claims of defects on those tires. I do not have any tire to show you now, but Continental's records should show the tire wear as I have stated. Of the 3 tires, 2 of the tires not recalled were A3LM WD30 dated 08-20, serial #[XXX] and [XXX], and the third tire A3LM WD30 dated 12-20 with serial #[XXX].

The earliest my Chevy dealer can look at it is next week.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11482839,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/03/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"09/04/2022","vin":"3GNKBERS6LS","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"On Tuesday August 9, 2022 at 0800, I dropped off my 2020 Blazer. I informed the staff that the seat base was not cooling as well as when I bought it, something is wrong with the transmission, and the screen keeps freezing. I was informed at that time by Amanda Carroll that it may take up to 72 hours to perform a diagnostic on the Blazer due to only one diagnostic tech at this time. The diagnostic had not been performed. We then told her that I had to return to work on Monday August 15th, can we get a loaner vehicle. We were told that due to the shortage in microchips, they did not have any vehicles available. \u201cI am sorry\u201d. We had not heard anything from anyone in regards to the status of the Blazer, so we went in person to the Service department on Saturday August 13, 2022 at 1130. My husband then asked about the status of the Blazer, was a diagnostic performed? She informed us, that a diagnostic was not performed. The only diagnostic tech called out, but he did come in on his day off to help. They know something is wrong with the Blazer, but were not able to perform the diagnostic. I then informed her that it has been over 96 hours since I dropped off the Blazer, and nothing had been done. I have to make a choice of driving a possibly dangerous vehicle or lose my job. But since a diagnostic was not performed, who knows what is wrong with the Blazer. I was informed from the BBB to contact Sean Jordan at All American Chevrolet of Killeen to discuss this matter. I contacted Mr. Jordan and we made arrangements to have the Blazer brought in on September 3rd at 0800. I took the Blazer into Chevrolet at 0800 and was informed by the employee, that I only had 45 miles until my warrantee was out. I told the staff employee, when I turned in the Blazer last month, I still had a warrantee and that Mr. Jordan would have to take care of that issue. Nothing was done and we left. I am out of characters to finish the complaint.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BLAZER","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11478119,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/08/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"08/08/2022","vin":"3GNKBCRS9LS","components":"POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"Shift to park displays despite being in park.
