There seems to be a constant problem with the service driver assist error code popping up and check engine light coming on. The ac heating keeps losing temperature. I've looked for support for this issue and it seems to be a common problem for chevy owners. Why isn't there a recall on this.

The shift-to-park sensor in my 2019 chevy Blazer rs is malfunctioning. After shifting into park, the vehicle does not detect that it is in park and displays a “shift to park” message. The issue is/has been ongoing and now it is almost impossible to bypass with wiggling the shifter. Safety risk: the vehicle cannot be fully shut off or locked, increasing the risk of battery drain or unintended movement. This poses a safety risk if the vehicle is left in public or on an incline. Inspection history: the vehicle was taken in to the dealership in November/December 2025 due to multiple warning lights: “shift to park”, "steering assist", "stabilink" and the usb-c charging port under the radio screen will stop working all together when this happens as well. This started around September 2025 and has occurred regularly since.

Telematics control module failure.

Thermostat gauge isnt moving along side a message saying "steering assis is reduced drive with care".

Incident description: while my wife was driving our 2022 chevy Blazer at approximately 40 miles per hour, the vehicle’s dashboard suddenly went dark and became unresponsive. Multiple warning lights illuminated simultaneously, including the check engine light, abs light, and other system alerts. The dashboard appeared to flicker as though it was repeatedly shutting down and restarting. When the brake pedal was applied, it offered no resistance and traveled completely to the floor without slowing the vehicle. To bring the vehicle to a stop, my wife shifted into neutral and allowed it to coast until it came to a complete stop. Fortunately, there were no intersections or other vehicles in front of her at the time, preventing a potential accident. This incident raises serious safety concerns, as both electrical and braking systems appeared to fail simultaneously.

I got into my vehicle and it said “steering assist reduced. Drive with care”. The a/c stops working and refuses to cool as well as the cooled seats. The thermostat for the coolant reads “c” despite driving it 40+ miles in 83 degree weather. Tried disconnecting battery upon research and finding out many other people are having the same problem. The light turned off and came right back on the following morning.

Shift to park issue. Vehicle shifts into park but does not register as such. Therefore, the vehicle keeps running and will not turn off or allow you to exist the vehicle. This is already a know issue with certain gm vehicles as is evident by a recall and service bulletins. However, none of those include the 2020 chevy Blazer.

Published date: 09/6/2024 preliminary information pit6231 poor sound quality on a phone call gm dealers are not recognizing this service bulletin to remedy the microphone issue. This is a life safety issue and a formal recall notice should be issued. Reason if the driver or passenger is injured in the vehicle the same microphone is used to communicate with the sos and on start. When some one is incapacitated or suffered an injury they would not normally be able to speak in such a loud volume for the recipient to hear and when the person speaking who has been injured is forced to yell into the microphone (if able) the receiving end only will her distorted audio,. It is for the reasons set forth above I respectively ask that this be considered a recall and not addressed by a service bulletin.

Component/system involved: the electric power steering system in my 2020 chevy Blazer is malfunctioning. A warning appears on the dashboard: “steering assist is reduced – drive with care. ” when this happens, steering becomes very stiff and difficult. The issue is ongoing, and the component is available for inspection if requested. Safety risk: this creates a serious safety hazard. The sudden loss of steering assist makes it hard to turn the wheel, especially at low speeds or when maneuvering. It puts me and others at risk, especially if it happens in traffic or while turning. Problem confirmed by dealer: no, the issue has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer or service center. Inspection history: the vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership, manufacturer, police, or insurance. Warning signs: the only warning is the “steering assist is reduced – drive with care” message, which appears randomly—sometimes at startup, sometimes while driving. The issue began around 10/15/2024 and continues to be an on going issue.

When I try to park the car, it says shift to park. Sometimes I can’t get the car to go into park to exit the vehicle or other times. I’ve shut the door and it has stayed on with the accessories because it won’t shut off.

Vehicle thermostat would read cold while operating and the ac was not working. A message would populate in the dash stating "steering assist is reduced drive with care. " multiple forums stated it was a thermostat issue or temperature sensor. Also attempted to disconnect the battery for several minutes which would in turn clear the message and all would be working fine. This has been done multiple times and is at random when the message and ac stop working.

The infotainment system of a brand new 2025 Blazer ev is doing blackouts, flickers, and changing commands and requests. While this may sound trivial - and if this system just did the radio - I would agree. However it controls most all the sub-systems of the car from charging, to display, to gps, environmental, etc. While at home it is just annoying and frustrating - we traveled to va from FL this past week. Traffic was horrendous due to a closure of i95 in SC - all traffic was forced onto 2 lane country roads. Attempting to use the controls, adjust gps for alternatives, and adjusting displays - the glitches were causing either unexpected actions - or distracting longer than expected and causing near accidents. In addition I report that the "collision avoidance" is marginal or dangerous. Dangerous with it engaging maximum braking for a marker-barrel that no where near my path - to not engaging well enough when vehicles were rapidly braking (and they did not have brake lights). Finally - the gps system "changes" destinations on its own. Again with the display flashing and blacking out - it is difficult to notice these "changes" when travelling on back-roads with insanely heavy traffic.

My bright lights do not go off when oncoming vehicles or vehicles in front of me are close and when they do dim they go on and off. People flash their brights at me causing me not to be able to sleep and this happens even when they turned off of auto. Another item of concern is that the car would lock and unlock and the interior lights would go on and off. This was fixed but it was a line under the front that was not soldered together at the manufacturer is what the chevy dealership stated.

Dashboard goes on like a christmas tree (almost all lights turn on abs gas light traction control parking service light) check engine stays on then disappears after a few days. Transmission won’t gear into shifts only stays in one shift.

Request for recall review – 2021 Chevrolet Blazer steering assist and cooling fan issue hello, I am writing to report a recurring issue with my 2021 Chevrolet Blazer and to request that this concern be reviewed for possible recall or warranty coverage. The vehicle frequently displays an “action required: steering assist is reduced. Drive with care” message while driving. Additionally, after shutting off the vehicle, the engine cooling fan continues to run for up to 20 minutes, as if the vehicle is overheating. This issue has occurred multiple times and raises concerns about potential problems with the steering assist system, cooling system, or electrical sensors. I’ve noticed that other Blazer owners have reported similar experiences online, which suggests this could be a broader issue. Could you please confirm whether there are any existing recalls, technical service bulletins (tsbs), or warranty programs addressing this condition? I would also appreciate guidance on the next steps for inspection or documentation. Vehicle information: year/model: 2021 Chevrolet Blazer.

Action required "steering assist warning" drive with caution, temp gage reads cold, a/c stops working, engine cooling fan runs on high speed (even after the engine is shut off), pending p2018 code, with no check engine light (cel). Replaced engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor, problem did not go away. Several reviews suggest to replace the thermostat, check fuses for proper insertion, reroute ect wiring, and possibly replace radiator. Most of these repairs can be very expensive. Chevy Blazer forum states that the issue is a out of range detection of ect sensor reading. Gm needs to determine a true solution and stop guessing at owner expense/frustration.

Accelerating without pressing gas pedal and gas pedal won't release with braking. Brakes overheated and this went on 10 minutes before I got it to release the gas pedal so I could safely stop. I almost hit 4 vehicles on the interstate because the gas pedal went to the floor all the sudden.

Left turn signal can activate by itself after right turn. Details: driving and making a right turn with the right turn signal active, after the turn when the signal cancels, the signal sometimes activates the left blink-to-pass feature causing the left signal to blink 3 times. This appears to be because the turn signal arm falls too hard. When turning onto a multi lane road this causes confusion to drivers coming up behind where they think I am moving into the left lane, but I am not. Gm has loaded software to reduce this but it still happens. They replaced my turn signal arm and it still happens (much less often now). I can prevent it from happening by using my finger to dampen the turn signal arm when it cancels by catching it and slowing it down. I stopped using my turn signal completely as it is embarrassing when it does this.

Check engine light on, message saying "steering assist reduced drive with care", engine temperature gauge not moving from c, and ac not working. I have taken it in to be fixed 3x, and they have fixed it 2/3 times but the message has come back again. It is a big issue in 2019/2020 Blazers according to my research.

Thermostat not working. Causing fan to run as if the vehicle is overheating.

1. Fuse array has failed, and yes it is available for inspection upon request 2. The car overheats, posing a threat to passengers lives due to having to pull over on the side of the road and being struck by other drivers. 3. Yes it has been confirmed by a dealer/service center. 4. Yes it has been inspected by certified service technicians. 5. Yes, the engine light comes on and the dash says “engine power reduced” and then “vehicle overheating, please pull off the side of the road and turn engine off”. There were no symptoms leading up to the vehicle overheating. This first occurred in April 2025, and occurred again September 6, 2025. When speaking to the dealership, they stated that this is a widespread issue with Chevrolet Blazers and because of how big this issue is, new parts are on back order until middle to end of October. I cannot drive the vehicle to go grocery shopping or bring my daughter to daycare. Because this is a widespread problem, there needs to be a recall issued. Chevrolet installed faulty fuse arrays in their vehicles and this is their fault for this happening at such a large scale.

Shift to park warning comes on when car is in park, car electrical will not shut off until the shifter is shaken or car is turned back on and shifted into gear and back to park, may take several times.

My vehicle lost complete power while I was sitting at red light. The dashboard went completely out and pop back on stating to put the vehicle in park and push the brake to start. After following those instructions the vehicle failed to start and I left disability until onstar notified mpd to assist. While waiting for assistance I was almost hit 3 times. When mpd arrived on the scene they were able to push the vehicle out of traffic. After my vehicle arrived at the shop I was told the power failure was caused by the malfunction of the DC/DC converter output voltage. I see a bulletin was put out but a recall was my made available. I feel this is a major issue due to the vehicle losing power.

This is a report of defective software that could increase the chances of an accident, injury and or death. This vehicle features a built-in garage door remote which is utilized exclusively through the touch screen. However, when the vehicle is in reverse the backup cameras restrict access to the needed menu. After backing up and putting the car in drive there is a delay before the back up camera turns off. This creates a situation in which the driver must wait in the middle of the road after placing the car in drive before being able to close the garage door. In seeking solutions from online forums, some drivers have reported their Blazer evs allow the button to be accessed while others report they do not, so I speculated perhaps I missed a software update, but per the car's ota system, the vehicle's software is current as of the time of this submission. I have recorded a video that I am happy to share , however it exceeds the size limit allowed for uploads in this report.

My windshield is defected with no real time when a replacement can be ordered. . The interior lining is not sealed properly which is causing a buckling effect by drivers and passengers visors. . Rain is getting inside and soaking into the dashboard causing the electrical system on screens to blink in and out finally my brake harness is still on recall and my car has been shifting into park which could cause severe problems if I am on the highway. .

1. The vehicle does not recognize it's in park periodically and will not shut off 2. Thermostat housing and thermostat failure 3. Tint covered chrome on exterior of body peeling off only had the car 3 weeks currently at dealership repairing thermostat out of pocket.

I am currently receiving a shift to park message displayed while my vehicle has been put in park and after I turn the vehicle off. While the message is displayed, the doors will not lock and a bell will not stop dinging, notifying me of the error. I have to start the vehicle, shift into gear, shift into park, and turn off several times before the error disappears. I have an appointment to have the dealer look at it this week.

The well known shift to park issue where the park sensor is off and my vehicle won’t shut off without being able to register it’s in park. Auto garage quoted $600+ to replace the entire shift assembly. There’s a service bulletin out for this issue and the specific 2019 Blazer but no recall.
