Defect Description:
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Multiple components in the engine timing and transmission system have failed. These include: Camshaft actuator solenoid valve failed twice (at ~30,000 and ~60,000 miles), each time with different DTC codes. Camshaft positioning sensor failed, triggering P0024 (“timing advanced and bouncing around”). Timing chain tensioner spring failed, requiring re-timing. Camshaft carrier case gasket experienced a major oil leak at 59,000 miles. Thermostat failed. Battery was replaced, but no diagnostic testing was performed—only code clearing. At 82,000 miles: Torque converter has failed, transmission fluid is tarnished, and the radiator is leaking internally. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request and has been registered as non-operational. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle exhibited repeated hesitation, delays when accelerating, and revving while braking. In stop-and-go traffic, it now sputters as if it may stall. These behaviors create unsafe driving conditions, especially at intersections and in congested areas, putting both myself and other drivers at risk. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The torque converter failure and transmission issues were confirmed by National Transmission in Long Beach, CA. Prior component failures were confirmed by Martin Chevrolet, who performed both camshaft actuator solenoid valve replacements under warranty. Multiple DTC codes were recorded and cleared, but no electrical testing was performed. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been serviced by authorized GM dealerships, but GM did not escalate the issue to their TAC (Technical Assistance Center) or assign a field engineer, in violation of GM's internal escalation policy. No inspections

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Failure of either coolant temperature sensor or thermostat or both. The A/C is disabled, the temperature gauge does not function, and a message appears on the dash display regarding steering assist not working. With all these issues, it’s impossible to feel safe driving any distances, not knowing whether the vehicle will overheat and damage the engine or other components, or if the steering will actually fail. Both parts have been replaced, at the time, May 4, 2025.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
In March 2025 a Steering assist reduced warning came on briefly. Over the next several weeks intermittent. April 2025 Engine warning light came on. 4-14-25 Went to ToddWenzel Chevrolet for diagnosis to be told the Thermostat needs to be changed and due to a small amount of crystallization on the radiator that as well. I had just had oil changed and fluid levels topped off that morning at Parkway express who did not identify concerns. 4-15-25 brought to Parker Brake who diagnosed and identified there was a glitch that prompted the warning and they can tell that fired when not driving, temp 125Degrees. "it may have been parked cooling down". They noted not need for additional service. Thermostat fine and no evidence of radiator leak. They cleared codes/engine warning. After about a week experiencing intermittent assist reduced warning again. I am understanding that this is a known problem w/ these Blazers and changing thermostat for many does not work. Where does this leave me? GM needs to help with the cost and figuring this out. I am concerned about sudden failure of something while driving that could be unsafe for myself/others.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
To whom it may concern, I purchased a new 2020 Chevy Blazer from the dealership five years ago. Since then I have had to replace my battery twice, radiator and now the thermostat all of which have been done at the dealership. The car and all receipts of the repairs are available for inspection if requested. This most recent mechanical issue with the thermostat included the following; fans blowing on high, no AC, check engine light, steering assist reduced message, and temp gauge on C. The car was immediately (same day) taken to the dealership for investigation. Upon inspecting the car the mechanic found the thermostat sticking open and indicated that it would need to be replaced as it was unsafe to drive. A total cost of $1400. It seemed odd that my car is only 5 years old with 75k miles and needing to have the thermostat replaced so I started researching this issue further. I found several complaints on the www.chevyblazer.org forum from other 2020 Chevy Blazer owners with the same mechanical issue. There is one comment on the forum from a mechanic stating that this issue is caused by a faulty wire harness and will continue to cause similar issues until the wiring is fixed. You can find those comments in the forum on www.chevyblazer.org This continues to be an ongoing issue with this make and model of Blazer with no consistent fix from the dealer. I believe my previous battery and radiator issues are all related. I am reaching out to you for assistance and/or guidance to help get this mechanical issue reported as a recall by the dealer and properly fixed at dealer cost. I am happy to provide any additional support you may need to research this further. Thank you in advance.

You can find those comments in the forum on www.chevyblazer.org This continues to be an ongoing issue with this make and model of Blazer with no consistent fix from the dealer. I believe my previous battery and radiator issues are all related. I am reaching out to you for assistance and/or guidance to help get this mechanical issue reported as a recall by the dealer and properly fixed at dealer cost. I am happy to provide any additional support you may need to research this further. Thank you in advance.
Additional Notes:
To whom it may concern, I purchased a new 2020 Chevy Blazer from the dealership five years ago. Since then I have had to replace my battery twice, radiator and now the thermostat all of which have been done at the dealership. The car and all receipts of the repairs are available for inspection if requested. This most recent mechanical issue with the thermostat included the following; fans blowing on high, no AC, check engine light, steering assist reduced message, and temp gauge on C. The car was immediately (same day) taken to the dealership for investigation. Upon inspecting the car the mechanic found the thermostat sticking open and indicated that it would need to be replaced as it was unsafe to drive. A total cost of $1400. It seemed odd that my car is only 5 years old with 75k miles and needing to have the thermostat replaced so I started researching this issue further. I found several complaints on the www.chevyblazer.org forum from other 2020 Chevy Blazer owners with the same mechanical issue. There is one comment on the forum from a mechanic stating that this issue is caused by a faulty wire harness and will continue to cause similar issues until the wiring is fixed.

I have had to replace the radiator 3 times since I've owned this vehicle. I see where there are others with the same issue. Now I have to replace the thermostat my first radiator was replaced at 16k miles. This is a safety issue because my car over heated and broke down on the highway left me stranded
