I am reporting a potential safety defect involving unintended automatic emergency braking/forward collision warning/brake-control behavior, reverse automatic braking, parking brake behavior, and driver-assistance/sensor calibration. Incident xxx ~11:15 am, [xxx] driving 2024 Chevrolet Blazer ev ~20–25 mph on/near [xxx]. Vehicle displayed red collision alert and abruptly braked hard although the lane was clear; only a car was parked in a driveway on the right. Sudden braking created serious risk of rear-end collision/loss of control. Vehicle used for family transportation; toddler (~30. 8 lb) had been in vehicle ~10 minutes before and family includes blind/visually impaired passenger. History of unwanted reverse emergency braking ~every 45 days: Jan 2026 near crust pizza woodforest (backing up) and March 2026 at h-e-b 7988 fm 1488 magnolia (backing out), jolting child in rear-facing car seat. Prior service at keating Chevrolet Nov 12, 2025 (including recall/service for unintended parking brake engagement n252503010 and missing chassis harness plugs update) did not resolve unwanted braking. After June 10, aeb/front pedestrian braking/intersection collision braking were disabled as temporary safety mitigation. Vehicle removed from daily family use, available for inspection, and I request NHTSA review. Any inspection should preserve relevant braking/parking/aeb/forward collision/sensor data before any reset/update/repair. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
While driving in a plaza parking lot at approximately 18mph the aeb engaged for no reason. There were not any objects near our car to activate the system. The aeb activated so quickly and abruptly that my spouse and I needed to seek medical attention due to whiplash.
Chevy of wasilla, ak did not properly inspect a safety recall for the rear parking brake harness. After I showed the dealership the pictures of the holes in the brake harness, I was told that the holes in the brake harness is a feature to let water out. Pictures are attached of said holes in brake harness and text message with dealership representative.
I was pulling out of my parents' driveway with my sister, who is almost 7 months pregnant in the passenger seat. Before we could get down the driveway, my car violently slammed itself into park to the point that I was convinced I had to have hit someone. No warnings no nothing, just wham, causing my lower back to feel tweaked now. After jumping out and seeing nothing, I immediately brought my car to the dealership for inspection. When I arrived, I was told that the sensors are just too sensitive, and the gentleman helping me also has the same vehicle. He said his wife hates the car and turns off all safety features in order to drive the car. You want me to turn off all the safety features to prevent a crash because it is turning itself on and could cause one? I do not feel comfortable operating this vehicle with myself in the car, let alone the two very young nephews and my pregnant sister, who I frequently drive around. I have already brought the car in for this reason and they claim there is nothing they can do.
The auto emergency braking engaged while making a left turn. No cars in front. Had someone been behind me, they could have easily hit me. The seat belt locked as well resulting in being able to feel the seat belt inprint hours afterwards. This incident just happened on 11/24/25 and has not be inspected by any dealership or service center. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident.
The front camera lens cover — located in the grille below the chevy bowtie logo — has developed a spiderwebbed/shattered crack pattern. There is no impact damage to the surrounding grille or bodywork. The vehicle was garaged and not in use when the damage was discovered. The camera appears to still be working and parts of the image are crystal clear but the cracks in the cover distort the picture and make it impossible to use reliably. This is consistent with a material defect, not road damage. I have opened a case with gm customer care regarding this defect. My case number xxx. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
After getting the recall repaired (which I was never informed of and I had the parking brake engage as I was travelling 30 mph causing me to skid down the road) I got the vehicle back and the very next day it was the same issue and the abs and traction control light came on and it began making loud clicking noises every time I would engage the brake.
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.
On April 7, 2025 while backing out of the driveway, my son's car abruptly stopped. The manhole cover at the end of our driveway triggered the emergency braking system. My head was slammed against the headrest and caused a great deal of pain in my head. On April 15, 2025, I went to kaiser and was told that I have a concussion.
When making left hand turn the aeb activated for no obvious reason almost causing rear end collision chain reaction for traffic behind making same left hand turn.
