36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2021

Purchased my 2021 chevy Trailblazer in August 2021 with less than 100 miles. After about 500 miles the lane assist, forward collision assistant and the automatic breaking features all stopped working. Factory reset has been set several times with no fix. The buttons on the steering wheel do not do anything when pressed. I have been told by the dealership they will need to keep my car for at least 3 days to disassemble and trouble shoot the issue, however they do not have a rental to provide me in the mean time. I am now at around 10k miles because this is my daily driving and only vehicle. I am not comfortable that some of the safety features have stopped working and fear that any day something else could stop working that is more important to the functioning of the car.

37 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/26/2021

Was in the middle of a 3 car collision. After about 5 min engine started smoking and a fire started. Fire slowly escalated and fully engulfed the entire car.

38 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2021

Within 3 months of owning the vehicle I started to hear a crackling sound coming from the passenger speaker in the door. At first it was loud and I thought someone hit me. It did it several times and then stopped. It has happened about a dozen times since I have owned the vehicle. When I took it in for my oil change I told them and they could not replicate it so they didn't know what it was and didn't see anything. It actually just happened again yesterday so when I take it in again I will tell them about this. We thought maybe it was only when it rained but that is not the case, it just happens and I can't think of anything that is consistent when it does. It comes out loud and scares me every time. I just want this fixed, I have only owned my car for 1 year now and like everything but this.
