CHEVROLET BLAZER EV

PARKING BRAKE

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV vehicles. The rear parking brake wiring harness may become damaged or corroded, resulting in unintended activation of the parking brake or loss of the parking brake function.

Risk: Unintended activation of the parking brake while driving increases the risk of a crash. Loss of the parking brake function while parked can result in a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Hummer EV SUV, and GMC Sierra EV vehicles. The electric motors in the rear drive units may have insufficiently insulated wires that can contact each other, resulting in a loss of drive power.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV vehicles. The right front lower control arm may contain a manufacturing defect that can cause it to fracture.

Risk: A lower control arm fracture can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

There is a glare from the dashboard of the vehicle that shines onto the windshield and causes visibility to be nearly impossible. I am unable to see certain things on the roadway as a result. This happens every single time the sun happens to be out and is an extreme safety issue. This vehicle is not safe to operate or be on the roadway in any way shape or form

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently came to an abrupt stop, with the "Service Parking Brake" message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where an attempt to duplicate the failure was unsuccessful. The contact was informed that the failure was likely a user error and that no issues were found with the vehicle. The failure persisted, and the contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (PARKING BRAKE); which the contact linked to the failure. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer for the recall repair. The contact stated that the repair involved the installation of an anti-abrasive tape around the wiring harness. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a representative was sent to inspect the vehicle. The Chevrolet Representative was later informed by the dealer that the brake lines were already taped prior to the recall and that no additional repairs were needed. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer because the contact was concerned about the safe operation of the vehicle. The failure mileage was unknown.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Glossy components on the Blazer EV dashboard reflect onto the windshield in most daylight driving conditions. The glare is excessive and makes it difficult to discern pedestrians and other obstructions. Chevrolet acknowledged the design flaw when they recently started providing free dash covers for the Equinox EV. The Equinox and Blazer EV dashboards are essentially the same. A dash cover is not a permanent solution though, and Chevrolet should replace the glossy dashboard components with a material that is less reflective.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

This has happened to me numerous times where I’m driving and out of nowhere the car shortstops it is a danger to drive this car. And I have called Gm over and over and they don’t want to do anything about it.
