SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Without warning, the brake pedal on my 2019 Chevy Blazer became hard, almost as if the car was turned off. I was unable to stop and slowly rolled into the back of a semi stopped at a stoplight. This was moments after exiting off of a major highway and could have been much worse. The car was taken to a mechanic and it was determined to be a failure with the brake booster. GM has issued recalls for this problem in several other models but the Blazer has been excluded. Based on online forums and complaints of multiple other Blazer owners, it seems obvious that Blazers should have been included in the recall.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
8 out of 10 times I put the vehicle in park I receive a "shift to park" alert. I have to put it in another gear several times before it recognizes it is parked. Sometimes flicking the shifter push-in piece on the bottom will work. I am unsure if the car is officially parked when I don't get this message.

I’m stuck in vehicle which will not stop alerts and runs down battery. This is a hazardous situation. I can’t tell if car is actually engaged in park or not. This started happening intermittently over the last month but now it happens 8 times out of 10 when I try to shut off the vehicle.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
While using my vehicle, twice in one day, my vehicle failed to recognize that it was in park. My 2019 Chevrolet Blazer essentially malfunctioned, and was unable to recognize that it was in park, which left me unable to leave the car to go into my office building. The car was in fact in park, but did not recognize this fact. I tried exiting the vehicle and closing the door, but the car still would not turn off. I was left to essentially babysit my car, while attempting to work the gear shifter back and forth between drive, reverse, and park, until it eventually finally accepted that it was set to park, and allowed me to fully power the car down. If I am unable to have the car recognize that it is in park, I am unable to leave it, as it can be started and driven without the FOB due to the potential safety hazard of the vehicle thinking it is not properly shifted into park. The battery will also be drained, effectively leaving me with an inoperable vehicle. In the image I attached, please view the bottom right corner of the dashboard which indicates "P" for park, while the vehicle still states that I am not shifted into park. I have a video of this incident, and it appears many consumers with select models of Chevrolet and GMC cars also have this issue. I find it appalling that many have already discovered this issue, yet no recall has been placed to fix this widely known issue (even by GM according to their bulleting regarding this).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS with 12,350 miles on it. As you can tell I use it locally. A month ago I pulled into my garage, put the car into park, shut the car off & a warning came across the dash saying "Shift to Park". I started the car back up, put the car in neutral then park & shut it off. The message was gone so I blamed it on something I must have done. Two weeks later the same thing happened. I did the same routine and it fixed itself. This time I started taking notice. Last week it did it again. Today was the worse. I was at the grocery store and it took 3-5 minutes to fix it. I already have an appointment at the dealership on 3/20/24 for an oil change, tire rotation & 12-point check up. I'll be bringing this malfunction to their attention. I'll also be bringing a credit card with me because I have a feeling after doing some investigation that I might be getting [XXX] in the pocket book. I see some places say it takes an hour and costs a couple hundred & others are charging $500 & keeping the car over night. I also see GM has known about this since 2016 with the Malibu and Volt. How sad a recall hasn't been ordered for this issue. I've read it could be a $9 wire harness that can be bought at GM Parts Direct. So GM doing nothing over a possible $9 part? That's a sin! The constant chiming wears the battery down not to mention being the only person in the car who knows nothing about mechanics is a scary position to be put in. I saw 3 class action law suits have been filed so isn't it time for the Federal Government to step in and do something about this? It's absolutely absurd to allow this to continue now going on 9 years. I can't buy a winning lottery ticket, but boy if there's a faulty product out there I'll buy that. What are the chances of me, after fighting to finally getting an SUV for decades, I finally get the only Chevy in 2019 to end up with a problem GM won't acknowledge.

I did the same routine and it fixed itself. This time I started taking notice. Last week it did it again. Today was the worse. I was at the grocery store and it took 3-5 minutes to fix it. I already have an appointment at the dealership on 3/20/24 for an oil change, tire rotation & 12-point check up. I'll be bringing this malfunction to their attention. I'll also be bringing a credit card with me because I have a feeling after doing some investigation that I might be getting [XXX] in the pocket book. I see some places say it takes an hour and costs a couple hundred & others are charging $500 & keeping the car over night. I also see GM has known about this since 2016 with the Malibu and Volt. How sad a recall hasn't been ordered for this issue. I've read it could be a $9 wire harness that can be bought at GM Parts Direct. So GM doing nothing over a possible $9 part? That's a sin! The constant chiming wears the battery down not to mention being the only person in the car who knows nothing about mechanics is a scary position to be put in. I saw 3 class action law suits have been filed so isn't it time for the Federal Government to step in and do something about this? It's absolutely absurd to allow this to continue now going on 9 years. I can't buy a winning lottery ticket, but boy if there's a faulty product out there I'll buy that. What are the chances of me, after fighting to finally getting an SUV for decades, I finally get the only Chevy in 2019 to end up with a problem GM won't acknowledge.

Additional Notes:
I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS with 12,350 miles on it. As you can tell I use it locally. A month ago I pulled into my garage, put the car into park, shut the car off & a warning came across the dash saying "Shift to Park". I started the car back up, put the car in neutral then park & shut it off. The message was gone so I blamed it on something I must have done. Two weeks later the same thing happened. I did the same routine and it fixed itself. This time I started taking notice. Last week it did it again. Today was the worse. I was at the grocery store and it took 3-5 minutes to fix it. I already have an appointment at the dealership on 3/20/24 for an oil change, tire rotation & 12-point check up. I'll be bringing this malfunction to their attention.
