The car would tell me to "shift to park" when my car is in park. I was unable to turn my car completely off if this message was flashing on the dash. I have had to leave my car unlocked and with the system on for periods of time when I had to get out of my car. There wasn't a way to be able to lock my car when this system was on, not even when I had turned the car off. I am always unaware if my car is actually in park or not. Very worrisome to think that my car would roll into an object, or even a person just because my car wouldn't register that I was in park.
Brakes continuously squeak and has been taken to dealer on several occasions to address but was told nothing wrong. The collision avoidance reacts to vehicles parked on side of road which has also been taken to dealer but told nothing wrong. Apple car play works intermittently.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated while driving approximately 62 MPH, the vehicle started shaking abnormally. The brakes, ABS, engine, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. Upon pulling over, the brake pedal was depressed but the brake pedal was firm, and the vehicle was slow to respond. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that an unknown software update was needed, and the brake control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 17,714.
2022 Trailblazer with approximately 21,000 miles on it. Cruise control fails to engage unless you put your foot behind the break pedal and pull the break pedal forward. This causes safety issues because a person thinks the cruise is engaged but it doesn't actually engage and causes a person to slow on the freeway. Driver also gets distracted trying to troubleshoot the issue because cruise fails to engage without an obvious reason for failure. The fix also causes the driver to operate the vehicle in an unsafe manner because they have to remove their foot from the correct position and place it behind the break pedal to fix the problem. This issue is highly reproducible and was lived with for approximately a year until the solution of pulling the break pedal towards the driver was discovered just last month. Dealer said the issue is nonexistent.
Check engine light keeps coming on. Hard shifting. Takes too long for brake to engage. Fuel injector replaced. This car is only 3 months into service.
My brakes squeal on occasion. At slow speeds when stopping the brake pedal goes soft. The suv pulls to the left slightly and a metal on metal sound begins to emit from the drivers side braking system. The sound changes to something I can only describe as from a video game or a raptor from The Jurassic Park movies. I have videos of the sound, although they do it no justice. The dealership couldn't reproduce the sound. It happens when it wants. No warning lamps come on. It feels like the car won't stop on time when this happens. The vehicle is available for inspection.

I called the dealership when my car had less than 10,000 miles complaining of the brakes squealing very loudly almost sounding like grinding I took the car in they said the brakes were just dirty they cleaned them the very next day the brakes were making the same noise I call them again they say next time I come in for oil change they will look at them I go in they say they are dirty to drive fast on the interstate and stop really fast and it will loosen the dirt. Again I call again complaining about the brakes they say they will look again this time they say they have looked to see if there is any recalls and don’t see any so they grease the brakes they said if this don’t fix it then I would say that you just have very good brakes that’s what good brakes sound like. I’m fixing to have a baby and I’m worried that this could be potentially harmful with me one of these days not being able to stop because the brakes go bad. This has been going on for over a year and the delearship also informed they have it on record everytime I have called and complained
