There are 2 owner-reported driver assist & adas complaints for the 2021 Chevrolet Blazerin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Auto braking system went off when I was at stop light & began to move forward (was 2nd in line of cars) and I accelerated. On the roadway, there are construction 'steel plates' laying on the ground in the area that all cars must drive over (I have driven over them in my same Blazer before) because we have no choice. One I pressed on gas & began moving over those plates, the Blazer stopped itself VERY abruptly & jerked my head forward & dash said I had to press on brake let off or something in order to move again - it was all very fast & I had a line of traffic behind me at 5:15 pm on a Friday (9/5/25). I'm very luck I did not get hit from behind & car behind me paid attention! That is the 3rd time my car has stopped suddenly; 2 times before it was when going up my very steep driveway so I had no one behind me & I wasn't as shook up - Chevy needs to REALLY look at this! It is a hazzard!!
The radio and all the sound notifications such as turn signals, emergency flashers, crash avoidance, cross traffic, lane departure, and the use of the emergency OnStar system do not work. this has been addressed in GM service information #PIT5971B: Loss OF Audio and OnStar LED is Red - (Apr 3, 2023) GM appears to be addressing this as an inconvenience of not having the entertainment of the radio and not the safety features associated with it. This also includes the use of hands-free cell phone.
