UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
When I shift the gear from PARK to DRIVE & step on the GAS, the vehicle hesitates to DRIVE. I have to turn off my vehicle, play with the gear shift, then shift again to get it to move. The other day I put my vehicle in DRIVE and it rolled back and REVERSED. Nobody can figure out what’s wrong with my vehicle. The check engine light comes on then goes off. Nobody can get the problem to duplicate. A ticket to GMC was submitted and from them, my vehicle seems fine on paper. This is a safety hazard. I’ve taken my vehicle to a Chevy dealer and also to a GMC dealer multiple times.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Took to mechanic due to strong fuel smell coming from engine area. Mechanic said not safe to drive - fuel rail leaking and must be replaced - vehicle could catch fire or explode! I drive grandchildren in this vehicle and was shook up! Vehicle towed to GM dealer who said I was 3400 miles passed my warranty but they would start work on my $3k repair. I’m outraged that GM cares so little about this known issue from the GM bulletin PIP 5765 which was published 11/18/20. All this time they have known about faulty and dangerous part but only send recalls for minor issues like possible faulty tire jack.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While traveling down the road at approximatly 35-40 mph with my two minor children, the steering was not responding properly and the car kept attempting to veer to the right. I let off the gas to slow down since the brakes were also not seeming to respond well. Upon attempting to brake and execute a left hand turn, the car would not turn at all despite the steering wheel being as turned as far to the left as possible, the lights began flashing on the dashboard for "PowerSteering" ESC warning. We ended up going through the intersection without stopping and narrowly missed another car in intersection and went completely off the road into a snowbank. Fortunately we were not injured. We drove the vehicle back home (approximately one mile) by overpowering the steering and manually forcing the car to stay on the road. Throughout the lane assist kept attempting to autocorrect and drive us off the road. The car was damaged by the impact and the mechanic said that the tie rod is bent and has no idea what could have caused this to happen. I am somehow now responsible for the situation. I have asked what caused the power steering to fail, and Chevy claims that they have no record of any power steering issues (which research has shown to be untrue) and in order to determine IF it failed and/or why, they need to make the repair and then run additional tests to re-create the issue. This car only has 21,000 miles on it, and has never been in an accident before this.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Shortly after purchasing my trailblazer in 2020 I noticed a glitch in the speakers where it would make a crackling noise (mainly when the car is off). it hasn’t been consistent when it happens, but since observing the issue I notice the issue happens most often when I close the trunk (by pressing the button on the trunk door.) no warning lights shows when this happens. Although this doesn’t seem to be a harmful safety issue, anything electrical can result to something more serious. I plan to bring this issue up at my next oil change at the dealership.

Additional Notes:
Shortly after purchasing my trailblazer in 2020 I noticed a glitch in the speakers where it would make a crackling noise (mainly when the car is off). it hasn’t been consistent when it happens, but since observing the issue I notice the issue happens most often when I close the trunk (by pressing the button on the trunk door.) no warning lights shows when this happens. Although this doesn’t seem to be a harmful safety issue, anything electrical can result to something more serious. I plan to bring this issue up at my next oil change at the dealership.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle began to give the error Shift to Park when the vehicle was in park and after the power was shut off. Because of this I cannot safely turn off the vehicle because it cannot recognize it's in park and will run the battery down whenever I use the vehicle. This problem has been previously presented in other models manufactured by GM. I am taking the vehicle in for inspection at a local Chevrolet dealership on 9/24/22 at 8 am. This issue first started around the second week of September this year with one or two errors here and there. Now, it happens every time I drive the vehicle.
Corrective Action:

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I have had the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer since May 2021, it has been 15 months, not even a year and a half off the lot and i have had wayyyy too many problems. I have has service the stabilitrak stability control system, service the antilock breaking system multiple times within the first 8-10 months. I had to get a part replaced due to that. The dealership had my vehicle literally for a month after i bought it, had an open tak report through Gm due to my engine light coming on. Gm did not know why it was happening. Had 2 service engine and transmission system alerts. I have had a fuel injector and line replaced as well within the first 6 months. I have had to get the system updated 2 times also. Now August 2022 im having service battery, or starter. Have had my vehicle shut off on me at an intersection then come back on two different times. My breaks have been squealing ever since i got this vehicle. Dealership confirms everything is in good standing. I have not had a vehicle where breaks squeal when i am coming to a stop or backing out of my driveway constantly. Dealership keeps saying oh its just probably dust or dirt, spray them out and it should stop. But, it has not for about a year now! Unbelievable! I am going it to trade this vehicle in. This is wayyy too much to be dealing with when you pay $30 grand on a vehicle!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
3 times in the last year while we were driving the acceleration wen very high like from 50 to all of a sudden went up to about 80. I had to stand on the brake and try to pull over. Still accelerating I put it in park and shut it off. When you restart it it drive fine again. This has happened three times and the dealership says they can't find a problem. We are stuck driving a death trap. Please help. They wanna charge diagnosis everything I take it in. Then they say they can't find nothing. Now I am finding others that have had same issue and dealership says there is no problem. This has got to be destroying the engine reving at such high speeds.
