The starter and flex plate failed (cracked) on the vehicle while on the road due to the auto start stop feature. When I stopped for a red light, the car made a loud grinding noise and would not restart leaving me stranded in traffic. The 2019 Blazer has the auto start stop feature which cannot be disabled and likely results in excess wear and tear. GM updated the 2020 model to allow the function to be disabled. GM has a number of technical bulletins highlighting both starter and flex plate issues, the first being in 2020. Both the starter and flex plate failures were verified by Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville TN. I've asked for the flex plate to be provided when repair is complete. There were no warnings via check engine lights or any strange noises prior to the failure.
