Vehicle safety defect complaint – 2023 Chevrolet Blazer to whom it may concern, I am submitting a formal safety defect complaint regarding my 2023 Chevrolet Blazer. This vehicle has exhibited multiple system failures that present a serious risk to driver safety and public roadway safety. The vehicle was purchased new on July 20, 2023. Beginning on April 21, 2025, at approximately 27,610 miles, the vehicle developed a progressive defect initially presenting as oil-related issues. Despite multiple repair attempts, the condition worsened and required a full engine replacement in January 2026. Following the engine replacement, the vehicle continued to experience critical safety failures, including engine stalling, reduced engine power warnings, and electronic stability control (esc) alerts. On April 26, 2026, the vehicle experienced a driver assistance system malfunction in which it attempted to steer off the roadway. I was forced to manually disable the system to maintain control of the vehicle. On April 27, 2026, the vehicle exhibited a fuel system failure, including fuel leakage and fuel odor, along with multiple simultaneous warning indicators: • reduced engine power • service esc • steering assist reduced / drive with care • power assist driver system disabled this combination of failures presents both a fire hazard and a loss-of-control risk. Additionally, I was informed by the dealership that a high-pressure fuel line, a one-time-use component, was not replaced during the engine installation. This raises concerns regarding improper repair and continued unsafe operation of the vehicle. The vehicle has undergone multiple repair attempts and a major powertrain replacement, yet continues to present serious safety concerns. Due to these ongoing issues, I do not feel safe operating this vehicle. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter for potential safety defects that may impact other vehicles of the same make and model.
My vehicle makes a clunk noise when the vehicle is in motion and I press on the accelerator it also makes a little jerk. This mainly happens @ low speeds and on a incline hill. There some type of oil or grease stains where the cv axle goes into transmission. Ive felt my vehicle with less power and pulls to the left. Took the vehicle to Chevrolet and they said they couldnt duplicate the issue or the oil leak.
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the lane keep assist feature steered the vehicle to the left while the vehicle was driving inside the lane. The lane keep assist warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle also experienced a loss of power steering assist. The contact stated that the failure occurred after the vehicle drove over a pothole. The contact also stated that the dealer had previously replaced the front-end bracket after another vehicle struck the front end while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied in a parking lot. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, escude Chevrolet of easley (5010 old easley bridge rd, easley, SC 29642), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact was informed that the tires were the incorrect size for the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,500.
Vehicle having multiple stalls with abs light on while driving vehicle been at the dealership technician tried to repair it did not get fixed. Returned again stated that it was a wheel speed sensor. My vehicles been at the dealership for over two months now with no part eta. Multiple instrument cluster lights and vehicle stalls while driving.
Since I’ve got the vehicle I experienced issues with it not going in drive or reverse sporadically. I was air to obtain this in video and show it to the dealer for the first time Dec 2023. In addition and overtime it’s seems this issue may go hand and hand with the lane assist issue that had been known on chevy models where they either don’t work of they don’t recognize the lanes correctly and they pull although your in the correct lane. I have specifically taken the car in on 3 or more occasions about it disengaging and not driving forward or backwards. More recently it started to seem as if while u was actually driving the car did not want to accelerate forward and then while trying to accelerate the steering wheel pulled and caused the car to spin out of control on the freeway. The car was just in the shop from end of April till may and the issues are unable to be duplicated so I just keep getting pushed off with the car. The car radio constantly malfunctions and glitches I several different forms, black screen no sound or not allow bluetooth capabilities. My most main concern is this power train issue and me getting stuck with a car that is going to be it of warranty and the issue has never been resolved even though I have showed the dealership a live video of the occurring issue that there is something wrong here.
