“This is a safety issue in that the shifter wire harness malfunctions and will not let the electrical system to confirm that the car is in park and won’t let it cut off. I have had this repaired once, and it is now beginning to show the same thing. 1) you can’t cut the car off. 2). Letting it run until the automatic cut-off kicks in can run the battery down.”
Owner complaint, filed Jul 23, 2024
“I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS with 12,350 miles on it. As you can tell I use it locally. A month ago I pulled into my garage, put the car into park, shut the car off & a warning came across the dash saying "Shift to Park". I started the car back up, put the car in neutral then park & shut it off. The message was gone so I blamed it on something I must have done. Two weeks later the same thing happened.”

Shift to park displays on dash when put in park after I turn the car off. Have to turn the car back on shift from park to drive several times before it finally goes off. Something going on with backup camera when backing up it not always comes up on interior display monitor. The outlet in the console dc outlet not working had it looked at several times the mechanics can't figure out what the issue is all fuses are good And a few times couldn't stat the car after shift to park display pops up had to try several times before it started. Can't understand why GM hasn't ordered recalls on these matters and I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with these issues. It's a same that in 2026 dealing with issues that I have to pay out of pocket to try to find out what is the problem is.When GM knows these issues are the with the 2019 Chevy Blazer. GM needs to start addressing the issues my car wasn't a cheap car I pay a high price to have the issues that I have .

Electronically controlled thermostat and sensor fail or get stuck at a much lower coolant temperature causing the dash to display the “steering assist is reduced drive with care.” It isn’t just a message, the steering is much harder to use potentially causing an accident. The ac completely doesn’t work causing potential for sensitive, elderly, or young children and pets to overheat inside, it’s significant risk of injury or death from the hot summer temperatures. The engine coolant temperature gauge is all the way down on C position which isn’t registering how hot/cold the engine gets potentially causing damage to the vehicle and a total loss of the vehicle entirely due to damage from the engine overheating. After doing research online, this problem is affecting all years of the 2019+ blazers with the 3.6L V6 engine AND other known problems with other models and years of their other lineup of cars, it’s very widespread across their platforms. So what are people supposed to do when it isn’t? Pay an $3800+ repair bill to GM when they KNOW it’s more widespread than just this year/make? This is a scam. I’m reporting this complaint to raise awareness and hopefully GM will do the right thing.

The vehicle will not shut off when you shift to park. You are forced to sit in the vehicle for extended periods of time attempting to get the vehicle turned off. Apparently Chevy is familiar with eat problem and there are pending class action law suits in Ohio. According to the dealership Chevy has acknowledged there is a defect but no recall has been issued. We have had this issue for about two months and it is getting worse.

2019 Chevy Blazer. Car would not turn off the electrical components when parked. Put car in park and walked away and there is a warning note that says, "Shift to Park." But the car was in park. Called Chevy and they know about the issue on the 2019-2023 vehicles. They sent me the Technical Service Bulletin. Back in 2020, the car had the shifting harness and button replaced and we just had to have it replaced again because it is a consistent issue with the vehicle. Except this time, the dealer charged us $668.40 to fix it! It is a known issue by the company and THEY sent me the service bulletin to get it fixed. It should have been covered by Chevy, or, at least a recall should be instituted. The power to the car wouldn't shut off. We were able to jump the car to get it started again.

I believe my thermostat is a problem. I keep getting "P012B" "coolant under operating temperature" codes on my obd2 meter. This seems to coincide with "driver assist reduced" on my instrument cluster on my dash board. I researched it and on a forum it sounds to be a very common problem. Someone said to report it on here. I can clear the "p012b" error code with my obd2 and my thermostat instantly becomes responsive however it comes back within 2 days or so.

The shift-to-park sensor in my 2019 Chevy Blazer RS is malfunctioning. After shifting into park, the vehicle does not detect that it is in park and displays a “Shift to Park” message. The issue is/has been ongoing and now it is almost impossible to bypass with wiggling the shifter. Safety Risk: The vehicle cannot be fully shut off or locked, increasing the risk of battery drain or unintended movement. This poses a safety risk if the vehicle is left in public or on an incline. Inspection History: The vehicle was taken in to the dealership in November/December 2025 due to MULTIPLE Warning Lights: “Shift to Park”, "Steering Assist", "Stabilink" and the usb-C charging port under the radio screen will stop working all together when this happens as well. This started around September 2025 and has occurred regularly since.

At the same time this happens the temp gauge stays on cold, the ac quits working, the engine fan is on high, and most of the time I get code PO128.

At startup, I would receive a message that said, steering assist reduced. There were no check engine lights or warning lights. My air conditioning stopped working, and my temperature gauge on the dash remained at cold. I also noticed the radiator fans were on full blast, continuously. I called the dealer, and they weren't sure what was causing that. I told them I was getting codes #U0401 & P0128. They asked me to clear the codes to see if they returned. I cleared the codes, but they returned immediately on restart of the engine. I'm going to replace the thermostat but i didn't understand the #U0401 code, so did further research. I found 2017 Bulletin #17-NA-158 which seamed relevent to my issues, and Vehicle Fitment that confirmed my 2019 Chevy Blazer is included. I then came to find that the un-shielded low voltage wires for the coolant temperature sensor are routed through the same harness as high voltage coil wiring. Some of us know that EMI will affect low voltage signals. As an HVAC system designer, I know that un-shielded low voltage communication wiring cannot run parallel two line voltage power wiring. The effects are not continuous, but definitely reoccurring. I also understand there has not been a recall for this issue which surprises me. I can replace the thermostat even in its difficult position, but I don't feel comfortable in separating the low voltage wiring from the harness. I understand that dealers who are aware of this issue, charge a hefty fee to do so. It

Complaints 1-50 of 189, newest first, reproduced as filed.
It is one of the better Blazer years on record: 189 complaints, fewer than most Blazer years, without an unusual share of serious ones. The most common complaint is about the electrical system (23%). In NHTSA crash tests it scored 5 stars overall.
What is the most common problem with the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer?
The electrical system: 44 of the 189 complaints (23%) are about it. Owners most often say it drops into neutral (7%), turns on the check engine light (7%) and sets off warning lights on the dash (7%). The typical report comes at 33,000 miles.
How many recalls does the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer have?
2 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Feb 25, 2021. The largest, 20V668000, covered 194,105 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2019 Chevrolet Blazer problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 26,700 miles. For the electrical system the midpoint is 33,000 miles.
Are there service bulletins for the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer?
The manufacturer filed 848 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the engine (131), the electrical system (120) and the transmission (74). They include a service campaign, N252494770-01, filed Jun 20, 2025. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: Feb 25, 2021. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
