Recall Date: Feb 25, 2021
Safety Issue:

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020 Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT4, XT5, Escalade, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, 2018-2021 Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, 2019-2020 Chevrolet Blazer, Silverado 1500, GMC Acadia, Sierra 1500, and certain Continental tires sold to the aftermarket for various model year 2018-2021 vehicles.

Potential Consequences:

Chronic code P0128, causes cooling fans to go on high, AC doesn't work and steering assist reduced. GM calls for the thermostat to be replaced, at the cost of $1400 at my local Chevrolet dealer. Worked fine for two months then code and issues come back. Online forums are full of people with the same problem. Clearly there is an issue with these vehicles with the 3.6l motor.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

Cooling ran would never shut off, 'Steering Assist Reduced Drive with Care', the smell of sweet syrup (coolant), and the temp gauge would not leave 'C'. All of this happened at once. Brought it in as it was subsequently throwing codes. Chevy Heiderbrecht dealership said that the radiator seal at 53k is completely eroded away and needs to be replaced. They said this is a very common issue with these cars (2020 Blazer/Original Owner), and looking online there is a plethora of people with the exact same issue (low mileage, complete radiator replacement due to seal going bad on upper driver side). This is insane, you spend 40k on a car, maintain it well, and the parts fail this prematurely with no available recall? Now I am stuck with an $1,800 bill with no legal recourse? I mean the dealership said it is a widely known issue, and GM has admitted that the seal is bad, but there's no consumer protection from this big of a company? Only thing covered under powertrain warranty is the thermostat (wow thanks GM!) Thanks for any help you can provide.

On Saturday, March 8, 2025 I was crossing a busy intersection when my car shut off completely and accelerated into oncoming traffic almost causing a collision or fatality. My brakes locked and steering wheel locked. I had to put the emergency brake on in order for the car to come to a stop. We got out of the car in the middle of the street and ran for safety. Scariest experience I’ve ever been in especially with my family in the car!!

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

At around 55,000 miles my Blazer began to show error codes for “Steering Assist Reduced” and “ESC”. After 60,000 it began to intermittently populate the Check Engine Light paired with the "Steering Assist Reduced" message. Then, the engine fan would turn on high, auto-start when breaking would disable, and the steering would become more stiff. Finally, I was able to get a scan on the code and found out that it was my thermostat. After taking it to my local Chevy dealer I was quoted $1100 to repair. When I called my local mechanic I was told they could fix it for cheaper, but they were unable to find an OEM thermostat in stock which usually means there's a widespread issue with that part. Upon further research, I've found a plethora of complaints online where others with Chevy vehicles are experiencing the same issue. This causes: -Greater fuel consumption -Risk for the engine to overheat -Stiffened steering which could cause accidents

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Radiator was found to be leaking. Now thermostat is sticking. This could have caused my engine to overheat and catch fire. I have had a mechanical shop replace the radiator but could not afford to replace the thermostat yet. I had been seeing warning lights and still see warnings after radiator was replaced. They said “Steering Assist Reduced” and “ESC” and the engine light came on. I went to Auto Zone Dec 9th to have them tell me what was wrong. I took to shop on Dec 13th. I have googled several complaints about Chevy blazers having this particular problems. This is apparently a widespread issue that needs to be recalled.

Corrective Action:

Radiator was found to be leaking. Now thermostat is sticking. This could have caused my engine to overheat and catch fire.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

When I parked and tried to turn off car it would continue to run. I had to put it in park and drive back to park several times before car would turn off. There’s a recall for this issue on other blazers and I feel 2020 blazers should be included. The dealer replaced the shifter assembly, cleared OTC

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

We have experienced 2 issues that are very well known issues, I will list them here. First, is the Shift to Park issue, that involves an electrical switch and wiring harness on the shifter assembly. Second, is regarding a "driver assist reduced drive with care" alert message that includes Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0128, but is actually related to either the engine cooling sensor or the cooling thermostat housing assembly. Both issues are very well known, and many owners have had these issues.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Steering assist warning and engine check light are on. I had an scan done and was told it was the thermostat and coolant temperature sensor which seems to be a common problem. There are no safety concerns to my knowledge. I feel this problem needs to be addressed as repairs are very costly.
