Automatic Emergency Braking problems of the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced repeated phantom braking while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the automatic emergency braking system activated erroneously. The automatic emergency braking system was deactivated to prevent the failure; however, after a software update at the dealer during a radio repair, the feature automatically activated. After the update, the phantom braking reoccurred on several occasions. The contact had successfully disabled the feature again but remained concerned that the system might activate unexpectedly while turned off. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that a gm inspector had inspected the vehicle due to phantom braking. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 35 mph, with her daughter in the front passenger’s seat and the contact seated in the rear seat, the brakes independently engaged, and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. The failure had occurred three times. The contact had undergone cervical spine surgery six months before the failure, and the failure caused the injury to return. The contact's husband reviewed the owner's manual and discovered that the vehicle was equipped with the automatic emergency braking (aeb) system and associated the failure with the aeb feature. The manufacturer was notified of the issue, and a gm inspector inspected the vehicle. The vehicle was also taken to a local dealer; however, the dealer was unable to repair the vehicle and suggested that the feature was deactivated.

I was driving down a road. Vehicle slammed on the brakes and then accelerated in it own causing me to hit a guardrail.

I am concerned about a significant safety issue with my 2025 Chevrolet Blazer ev. On at least four separate occasions, the vehicle has unexpectedly applied extremely hard rear automatic braking while I was backing up, despite there being no object, vehicle, person, or obstacle behind the vehicle. The braking is so abrupt and forceful that it feels as though the vehicle has collided with something. Because the driver is typically looking over their shoulder while reversing, the sudden stop causes a violent jolt. This has resulted in neck pain and headaches for me and my son on multiple occasions. One of these incidents also occurred while my son was driving the vehicle. We discussed the event afterward and both experienced the same sudden, aggressive braking with nothing present behind the vehicle. The system appears to be activating falsely. This is a serious safety concern. The unexpected braking could potentially cause injury to the driver or passengers and may also create a hazardous situation if another vehicle is following behind. I am requesting that this issue be investigated and repaired as soon as possible.

At a low speed, between 10 and 15 mph, the forward collision system automatically triggered and brought the car to an immediate stop. While we were lucky that no car was following behind us, the passenger and I experienced significant whiplash and lasting back pain as a result of this. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone, and not been reproduced. The forward collision system flashed (red warning light, alert).
