Eco stop/ start died three times since I bought car. I am unable to turn off this option and the accident feature starts to break when I’m not near another car. Any Electrical issues cause the car not to start.
When placing the vehicle in park and turning off the vehicle there is a message on the dashboard saying ‘shift to park’ and the vehicle will not shut off, and you cannot lock the vehicle due to the error message.
Shift to Park message on display displayed when shifted into Park and the ignition has been turned off.
When slowing down (at the end of a street for example) foot is on the brake but the car will jerk and engine revs as if it is trying to still accelerate forward without moving the gas pedal. The rpms increase. No warning lights, vehicle has been inspected. No issue found by dealership.
“Shift to park” message comes up on the dashboard when the vehicle is already in park
I looked online and a lot of Chevy products are having this issue. Something will pop up saying limited driving assistance then your cold hot gauge doesn’t work is get stuck your air conditioning quits working your oil gauge quit working your battery how much voltage you have quits working it falls your whole window up where you can’t see. This is an ongoing issue with most of GMC vehicles, especially blazers. This is a safety issue that could cause your car to blow up or your windows. The fog over where you can’t see and you have a wreck and I could kill you.
I purchased this vehicle on June 26, 2020. When the vehicle was serviced on May 13, 2021 it had 8,366 miles on it and the tread wear was recorded at 6/32". In late June/early July 2021, I noticed the rear end of the vehicle seemed to slide around corners which lead me to research on the internet the Michelin tires that were on the vehicle. I found a GM Service Bulletin 19-NA-078 dated January 2020 that found issues with these tires. The vehicle's alignment was fixed and that problem seemed to go away. The vehicle was serviced on October 29, 2021 and I was told new tires were needed before winter driving. The tread measurement was 5/32". I told the service department that I wanted to talk to Michelin about this because I felt their tires should last longer. On October 29, the vehicle had 13,332 miles on it. I spoke to a Michelin representative on Monday, November 8th after scanning and emailing in the service records from October 29th showing the tread measurement to be 5/32". The Michelin representative acknowledged that they did have the service records and the only thing needed was a phone call from Bergstrom - Middleton WI, an authorized Michelin dealer. Bergstrom was confident additional information would be needed on the tires and asked that I schedule an appointment to come back in with the vehicle. I did that today. Today I was told by Bergstrom that nothing could be done because the tires were at 5/32". The current mileage on my vehicle is less than 14,000 miles and all 4 of these tires need to be replaced. It appears from what I could find on the internet, a "safe tire" is one that has at least 6/32" tire tread so these tires, which I might add should not have worn out at 14,000 miles, are no longer safe. What boggles my mind is that this has been a known issue with these tires since January 2020, before I even purchased the vehicle. I feel mislead and given the run-around by GM and Michelin. Consumer stated Michelin has agreed to cover 70% of new tires. Consumer would like to close the case.
On mutiple occasions I have lost power steering and power brakes. The Brake and Traction Control lights will illuminate on the dash, but the physical buttons do not and are unresponsive.
1. The power steering (confirmed by dealership) is causing vehicle to pull very hard in one direction 2. Something fuel related does not allow my car to accelerate properly. Foot will be on the throttle and accelerating and without moving the throttle the vehicle will slow, RPMS will drop then suddenly begins to accelerate again. 3. Car states it’s not in park after I shift into park.
Everyday my vehicle locks up the brakes while going to my home. I live on a dirt road and my drive way is also dirt. Also, once after stopping at a red-light and preceding to drive forward they locked up again.
When car is placed into park and try to turn off engine, warning chime with screen notification stating place car into park. When this happens, car is already in park.

We had the shift to park issue 3 years ago and fixed it. Cost near $300. Now we are taking it back in for the same exact issue. In addition to this issue all the lights on the dash board keep coming sporadically and on star sent us report with a ton of engine and transmission issues.
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AN AIRBAG ALERT GOES OFF RECOMMENDING SERVICE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING, OR NECESSARILY THE WEATHER. BUT IT DOES TEND TO GO OFF MORE FREQUENTLY IF IT'S HOT OR COLD OUT. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, AN ADAPTIVE CRUISE ALERT GOES OFF AT TIMES. I HAVE SERVICED THE VEHICLE AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR THIS. IT IS HAPPENING LESS, BUT STILL HAPPENING.
Snow/Ice build up inside tire rim's, causing improper tire balance. And also brake to freeze up when vehicle is parked, during driving in winter snow conditions. When driving on interstate roads at speed limit, the vehicle start's to shake a lot , like a flat tire. I talked to a Chevy dealer service manager about it and he said that their wasn't any safety massage out on that problem. I've never had a wheel snow/ice up like that before !! So now during the winter I check and clean out the snow/ice out of the wheel rim to prevent the vibration and driving problem. No warning light came on. It just shook the car real badly while driving on the highway.

MY CAR HAS A SHUDDER WHEN IT IS CRUISING AT 1500RPMS. IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO DRIVE WHEN IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT OR WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM AND I AM HOPING TO GET IT RESOLVED THAT WAY.
I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A COUNTRY ROAD ON THE EVENING OF JANUARY 21ST. THIS IS A NON-LIT, TAR AND CHIP WITH A SOFT SHOULDER ROAD. I HIT SOME BLACK ICE AND THE CAR SWERVED RIGHT, LEFT AND I GOT IT STRAIGHT AGAIN. DURING THE SWERVE, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND THE CAR NEVER LEFT THE ROAD. I MADE A CASE WITH GM. THEY DROPPED THE CASE BECAUSE THEY SAID THE VEHICLE NEARLY ROLLED OVER. I TOLD HER THAT I AM APPEALING THE CASE BECAUSE I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION AND IF THAT IS THE REASON THEY DROPPED THE CASE, THE REPORT HAS FALSE INFORMATION. THE VEHICLE NEVER NEARLY ROLLED OVER. I AM GETTING NO COOPERATION WITH GM. MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS SITTING IN A BODY SHOP WAITING ON AIRBAGS THAT ARE BACK ORDERED. HOW CAN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAVE PARTS ON BACK ORDER ALREADY? MY INSURANCE IS PAYING THE 11,000.00 REPAIR AND THEN WILL MOST LIKELY DROP US. I AM BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP. EVERY LAWYER I HAVE SPOKEN TO WILL NOT TAKE THE CASE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO ONE WANT TO TAKE ON A MONSTER COMPANY LIKE GENERAL MOTORS.
