2025 Chevrolet Blazer Problems & Complaints

2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV AWD purchased 5/23/25 (under 3,100 miles) The vehicle's Telematics Control Module (TCM) has failed, disabling the built-in navigation system, OnStar services, remote start, and My Chevrolet app connectivity. The dealership confirmed the TCM needs replacement and the part is on backorder with no ETA. This is a known issue affecting this model. I am reporting this as a safety defect for the following reasons: The 2025 Blazer EV does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. With the built-in navigation disabled, the only way to navigate is by using a phone, which requires visual attention to a separate small screen while driving. Under Pennsylvania's hands-free law (75 Pa.C.S.A. § 3316.1), use of handheld devices while driving is a primary offense, making phone-based navigation both unsafe and legally problematic. On at least one occasion, the navigation system appeared to be functioning normally at the start of a trip but was providing materially inaccurate directions mid-route (e.g., instructing me to turn onto a road I had already been traveling on for miles). A system that displays as operational while delivering incorrect routing data is dangerous because the driver has no way to assess its reliability before departing. GM's EV Concierge characterized the loss of navigation as a non-safety feature issue and suggested using a phone holder. This response is inadequate given the vehicle's lack of CarPlay integration, which makes the built-in navigation the only safe, integrated means of route guidance. This vehicle has also required three prior unrelated warranty repairs in 10 months: a recall for a faulty rear parking brake harness (9/25), a 12V battery failure requiring flatbed towing (11/25), and a faulty tire pressure monitor (12/25). The pattern of recurring failures across unrelated systems at minimal mileage indicates a systemic quality issue with this vehicle.

The vehicle accelerated without input and the brakes failed to respond. I am notifying you that this vehicle is a life-threatening safety risk and should not be rented again until a master technician clears the electronic throttle control and breaking system. This condition presents a serious safety risk and could lead to a car crash or injury. Additionally, the vehicles, climate control system behaved erratically, alternating between extremely hot and extremely cold air without adjustment. This may indicate a broader electronic or system malfunction affecting vehicle city.

The onstar module is broken and on significant backorder. Without it, standard features in my car such as GPS, onstar safety, remote control, and other features do not work.

Bridgestone Alenza A/S 2.0 275/45R21 I stopped to charge my vehicle, and noticed a large bubble in the sidewall. The tire has just under 11,000 miles.

On two separate occasions the vehicle lost all power while driving. On December 5, 2025 turning on to a main road from parking lot the vehicle shut off with no prior warning lights. Shifted vehicle to park. No power to anything, unable to unlock doors, unable to turn on hazard flashers, stuck in the middle of the road at night. Waited a minute and pressed the start button and vehicle started with no problem. Again, on February 24 , 2026 making a left turn in intersection, without any warning the vehicle shut off… no power at all. Stuck in middle of road with no lights , no hazard flashers ,unable to get out of the car. Few minutes later vehicle started again. The vehicle did not stall while stopped, it completely lost power while moving. Reported problem to West Herr Chevrolet of Hamburg NY , brought vehicle in to dealership on February 25, 2026 and they were “unable to duplicate the concerns” The dealership paperwork states that the vehicle stalled while stopped, this vehicle lost all power while it was moving. We now have the vehicle back in our possession but are extremely concerned for our safety and the safety of others.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (PARKING BRAKE). The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The contact exited the freeway and the front passenger’s side tie rod detached from the vehicle and the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact was able to pull over to the curb. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was inspected the contact noticed that the front passenger’s side wheel was bent and the tire was deflated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle remained at the residence unrepaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

The engine started acting weird in traffic going down hill on freeway. Eventually turned off turning into my driveway. No warning or engine light. Towed to dealer and is in for inspection, not sure if they can repair or if they have to replace the engine. When it arrived to dealer the engine light was on with a couple misfires

On December 22, 2025, I purchased a brand-new Chevrolet Blazer EV SS from a dealership located approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes away from my home. Immediately after leaving the dealership lot, I noticed a grinding / grunting noise coming from the vehicle. This was not a minor rattle or normal “new car” sound—this was an alarming mechanical noise in a vehicle that had just been sold to me as new. Because the selling dealer is so far away, and because I was concerned about driving a potentially unsafe vehicle long distance, I took it to a closer Chevrolet dealer for evaluation. I first brought the vehicle to Ciocca Chevrolet in West Chester, PA. After assessing the issue, they advised me to open a ticket with General Motors (GM) because they believed there was a legitimate defect that required GM involvement. Shortly after that, I left for the Christmas holidays, but the issue did not go away and I remained extremely concerned that I had just bought a defective vehicle. When I returned, I took the Blazer EV to Del Chevrolet in Paoli, PA for a second opinion and a thorough evaluation. After keeping the car and spending an entire day assessing it, Del Chevrolet acknowledged the problem. Despite two separate dealers identifying and acknowledging the issue, I have been unable to get timely action toward a repair. I have been told that GM is requiring additional testing and, most importantly, that GM is not authorizing Del Chevrolet to order the necessary parts. The dealership has indicated they are essentially stuck waiting for GM approval, which means my brand-new vehicle is in limbo with no clear repair timeline. As of now, the vehicle has only about 140 miles on it. This is a brand-new car that developed a serious noise immediately upon delivery, and I have now been forced into a loaner vehicle. It is Jan 17th. The vehicle is still at Del Chevrolet service center. Del Chevrolet, Fred Beans Chevrolet and GM corporate are involved in resolving this issue.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V433000 (Parking Brake); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact had stopped driving the vehicle due to safety concerns. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Telecommunications module failed - no Onstar, no Navigation which means no help to find charging station, and Mychevrolet app remote connection is not functional. Local dealer states this is a known issue but there is a significant backlog to investigate, and no loaner vehicles available. Wide spread issue across many GM vehicles. Very disappointing experience including service repair. Due to lack of loaner i am unable to drop off as this is my primary driven vehicle.

This issue is about "OnStar Telematics Control Module", since last 3 months.. mutiple services in my car stopped working. No GPS, TPS warning messages.. No internet..This issue has been reported all across US and GM, NHSTA needs to investigate this.

Telematics control module failure

The visibity in sunlight is dangerously impaired with the reflection of the dashboard on the windshield . Hard to see and really distracting while driving .

the onstar is out, cant make a call to them, cant remote start on app, navigation doesnt work

I was driving on a rainy day, and noticed my windshield wipers were not working. I tried adjusting wiper speed and even the spray function, which sprayed but did not wipe. At this point I had driven over a mile and had to pull over because visibility through the windshield had gotten so bad. I restarted the car and the wipers functioned normally again. There were no warning lights of any kind or software notifications, and the wipers had worked previously that day.

Published date: 09/6/2024 Preliminary Information PIT6231 Poor Sound Quality On A Phone Call GM Dealers are not recognizing this service bulletin to remedy the microphone issue. This is a life safety issue and a formal recall notice should be issued. Reason if the driver or passenger is injured in the vehicle the same microphone is used to communicate with the SOS and On start. when some one is incapacitated or suffered an injury they would not normally be able to speak in such a loud volume for the recipient to hear and when the person speaking who has been injured is forced to yell into the microphone (if able) the receiving end only will her distorted audio,. It is for the reasons set forth above I respectively ask that this be considered a recall and not addressed by a service bulletin

The infotainment system of a brand new 2025 Blazer EV is doing blackouts, flickers, and changing commands and requests. While this may sound trivial - and if this system just did the radio - I would agree. However it controls most all the sub-systems of the car from Charging, to Display, to GPS, Environmental, etc. While at home it is just annoying and frustrating - we traveled to VA from FL this past week. Traffic was horrendous due to a closure of I95 in SC - ALL traffic was forced onto 2 lane country roads. Attempting to use the Controls, adjust GPS for alternatives, and adjusting displays - the glitches were causing either unexpected actions - or distracting longer than expected and causing near accidents. In addition I report that the "collision avoidance" is marginal or dangerous. Dangerous with it engaging maximum braking for a Marker-Barrel that no where near my path - to not engaging well enough when vehicles were rapidly braking (and they did not have brake lights). Finally - the GPS system "changes" destinations on its own. Again with the display flashing and blacking out - it is difficult to notice these "changes" when travelling on back-roads with insanely heavy traffic.

Driving home about 25 mph, front passenger tire blew. Put donut spare on,. Took to Dealer next morning. front control arm bushing torn out of control. This is dangerous and should not have happened.

1).Engine stopped on Interstate hiway with just 2024 miles. Towed to Chevy dealer. New engine installed. Upon return of car emission system failure. 2) Car delivered with defective windshield with major (crackle) throughout very distracting at sunrise/sunset. Replacement not much better.
