The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 23,000.

The brakes squeal and make an odd chirping noise. They grab too. The dealership refused to even look at it unless if I paid for a service. The car is under warranty.

I recently bought a new Trailblazer 2023 last year. I have had problems with a squeaking noise when I apply the brakes. The problems have gotten considerably worse. I have taken it to the dealership and they claim there are no problems. I made an appointment to take it to the dealership again because the squeaking while applying the brakes sounds terrible. I was instructed that there was nothing that could be done until Trailblazer did a recall on the type of brake pads installed in Trailblazers. I was also told that there have been numerous complaints about the same problem I am experiencing. I LOVE my trailblazer and just want the problem corrected.

-The airbag(s) did not deploy. (**Attached police report says it did, but I have pictures showing it didn't, and they are currently in process of correcting the report) I have to pay to get the police report, so since I just obtained it on 3/13, I will wait a few days to get the corrected copy, to ensure it's complete. -The vehicle is either at the towing company or at the insurance company being inspected, but I'm sure it can be available. -I was in a traffic accident with injuries where if the airbags had deployed the injuries could have been prevented. -Unknown if it has been reproduced or confirmed, but I would guess no. -Insurance company was going to pick the vehicle up from the towing company and bring it to their venue to inspect. I'm unsure if that has happened yet. -No

While driving 65-70 MPH cruise control will continuously "bog" down and act like it is wanting to cut off the whole vehicle. transmission is starting to act like it is slipping to the point where I am going all the way to the steering wheel before it catches again. Vehicle is under 36,000 miles and should not be having transmission issues. Radio has been replaced once before but is now doing the same thing where it is not recognizing my phone, directions given to it by touch on screen, and will even completely turn off while in the middle of driving. Will freeze and then act like the screen has 'water' damage. back up camera is not calibrated correctly. It states that I have more than enough room to make a turn but when looking into my mirrors, it is off by almost a foot and a half. I was in a car accident due to the back up camera malfunction with the difference in distance and with the screen malfunctioning. I have had the vehicle inspected by the chevy dealership multiple times and they have stated that there is nothing coming up on the code reader. The vehicle is available for inspection. My children ride in this vehicle and after the accident, I do not deem it quite safe with the malfunctioning parts. There has not been any lights coming on for the issues but the issues are there.

My brand new 2023 Chevrolet trailblazer started having squeaky brakes when it was not even a year old. When brought to the dealership the first time, they changed the pads. This did not help the squeaking. When brought back the second time, the dealership told me that GM told them, “If vehicle returns after the bulletin has been performed, DO NOT attempt any further repairs. Engineering is working on an improvement”. I was told that I have to deal with the squeaking until GM engineers figure out a fix. This has been an issue for this car since 2020. They are NOT trying to fix the problem. Chevrolet customer service also tells me there is not a safety issue. When I asked them, “how do you know for sure this is not a safety issue? If the brakes are squeaking there is obviously a malfunction of some sort.” They could not answer this question.

1-Cracked Coil caused breakdown and gas flooded engine on a road trip 109mi from home, stranded, no accommodations for replacement vehicle during service-May 12-19, 2023 2-Faulty Purge Solenoid Valve-December 4, 2023, serviced and repaired December 7, 2023 3-Engine light same code for evap leak that was repaired, waiting on contact for repair December 9,2023. The first issue caused major safety concerns for myself and my partner, stranded on the side of the highway over 100 miles from home. No police or insurance reports. This will be the 3rd time the vehicle will be serviced for engine repair in the 7 months that it's been driven.

I purchased a 2023 trailblazer in February. And had noticed that the doors hold water in the front of the doors. After a rain or car washing the doors will drain when opened. But after a rain or washing and you leave the doors closed even a couple days later then open the doors water will drain out of each front hole on each door. I took it back to the dealership and the washed it and said that the doors drain while they are open. So I contacted Chevrolet main office and they asked me to take it back to the dealership. So I did while I was walking to the door a salesman came out and I asked him to open the doors on a 2023 trailblazer setting in front of the store. It had rained earlier that day and we watched water leaking out of all the doors. So I asked him to get a couple more trailblazer keys to other ones on the lot and they all leaked water out of the doors. I spoke to the customer service person and he said another owner of the 2023 trailblazer had came in with the same complaint. I spoke again to the main office of Chevrolet and he told me to come here and file a complaint. Since this is a engineering flaw design. So I am hoping to find out what can be done to fix this issue? And what do I do now?

The vehicle lit on fire under the hood while driving. It is only 6 months old and has just 5300 miles on it. No service had been needed nor done on the vehicle yet nor did any of the diagnostic gauges or software alert me to any issues before it happened

Repeat issues with the transmission, ongoing issue for about two months. Initially experienced the vehicle not shifting in drive or reverse, which was resolved in drive. The issue persists when in reverse, where I will put it in gear but it will rev without moving, as if the vehicle is in neutral . The dealership has replaced the valve body three times and is now awaiting other parts to attempt to resolve the issue.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the rear-view camera was displaying a distorted, fuzzy image while in activated. The dealer was notified of the failure and compared the camera image to another vehicle and found no defect with the camera. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

The vehicle almost caused me to collide with another vehicle when I was trying to get into right lane it kept pushing back into left fast lane, this happened throughout the drive to and from Northern California. car got horrible gas mileage, wasn’t operating correctly at times, my radio screen scrambling, going blank, stop working, static cracking sounds coming out. Every time I started the car it would not connect to iphone by any means. ignition button wouldn’t turn off, I had to push numerous times to turn off. There was an update for the lane departure issue, the radio issue there is no current fix as per manufacturer the service advisor informed me. I have looked up online recalls and see that there are many manufacturer correspondence for problems with this vehicle.Today there’s knocking coming from engine like there’s something wrong with lifters also burning smell inside vehicle.

Steering warning light comes on while driving and steering locks up. Dealer inspected the vehicle and states the steering unit did pull a code, however is not serviceable and will need replaced. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle as the steering locks up and cause a serious accident. The dealer advised it may take several weeks for the parts to arrive. I am reading other reports of Trailblazer owners facing the same service issue. I am requesting a rental car from GM and/or the dealer until my car is fixed, however they told me I have to pay out of pocket myself. I am disgusted this brand new car is facing such a serious safety issue. This needs investigated ASAP before someone is killed on the highway.

Brakes have been squeaking since about 2,000 miles at lower speeds (parking, drive-thru, stop-and-go street traffic, etc.). Took my car into the dealership at around 7,000 miles. Dealer acknowledged the issue and says that it's due to the material that the brakes are made of. They also stated that Chevy is aware, but isn't doing anything to correct the issue. The dealership did nothing to help me. Now I'm at around 9,000 miles and the squeaking is happening at all speeds whenever I'm braking. It also sounds like there's metal grinding along with the constant squeaking.

The brakes on my 2023 Chevy Trailblazer LT. At slow speeds the brakes sound like they are metal on metal and make horrible noise. I have only had this vehicle for 6 months. I did notify the dealer they said they can grease them and they would do it again. And that the only recall fix was for 2021 and 2022 trailblazer having this issue not the 2023 yet

Vehicle will not shift when needed or suddenly shift when it shouldn’t be, causing a lurching motion of the car. Then, the vehicle would not be able to be put into reverse. Appears to be a transmission issue.

Brakes squeal & jerks

My 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is about 3 months old and it’s been making squeaky noises when I break. The squeaky sound is getting worse over time and I have an appointment scheduled with Chevrolet to get this resolved. My concern is a 2022 recall on this same vehicle due to the break system. Therefore, I am reporting this for the year or 2023 because my car is brand new and making screech noises every time I break. Also, my electric system randomly stops working. For example, my touch screen Car play system pixelates and sometimes doesn’t even work. I turned off my car and the radio stayed on and the volume wasn’t going down. The car was off and the radio was still playing! After about 15 mins the radio stopped playing while the car was off. Something isn’t right with my trailblazer, electric and breaks. Lastly, in the images you will see as my millage goes up so does the remaining fuel miles I have left. The fuel miles left are suppose to go down as I’m using the car. Therefore, something is also wrong with my electric dashboard system and fuel meter. Please consider a recall, this is dangerous.

The sunroof shattered/exploded while driving. Sounded like an explosion. Nothing hit it. Shards of glass fell inside before I was able to close the material part.

My vehicle was struck on the left front drivers side while traveling 55 mph. My car flipped multiple times, but when it came to a rest on the drivers side, my head was trapped between the driver's window and the side curtain airbag. I couldn't move the airbag, so I had to move my seat back and bend my neck/head back and down out to get free. My face/head/neck/upper shoulder suffered bruising on the RIGHT SIDE of my body from impact of the airbag. This shouldn't have been the case - the deployment should have impacted the left side of my face. I am in belief that the deployment of this side curtain airbag was late in protecting me in this collision.

The breaks on this car squeal and grid awful. The dealership said they put metal brake pads on the car and that it's "supposed" to grind and make noise" and told me there is nothing they can do about it. I know this was an issue with their 2020-2022 Trailblazers. I can't believe that it's normal for a $30,000 dollar car.

I was driving west on I90 near Belvidere IL, through a construction zone. All of sudden the vehicle stopped by its self. I had no control except for the steering. Once on the left shoulder of a four lane hwy(one way), another four lanes on the other side. There was a cement barrier blocking from the other side traffic. I smelled like burnt rubber, now I now it was the brakes. I checked under the hood did not see or smell something burning. After a few minutes the SUV was able to move. I was afraid for my life, just waiting on a vehicle to hit me.

When I start my car my car play will not connect. When I start my car and put my car in reverse to use the back up camera and then put in drive the back up camera will remain on. The speakers are static sometimes. The screen will not work and it will be slow or shut off completely. I have pulled over and shut off my car and opened my door to shut off screen and it remains on for a couple mins playing music even when I shut it off.

I have noticed that when it's very cold, the vehicle will not shift to the two highest gears (I think) until 20+ minutes into my trip, and that's with having auto-started the vehicle 10 minutes prior to getting in it. So it takes about 30 minutes for the vehicle to shift into whatever the two highest (I think) gears are. This morning, 20+ minutes into my trip, I was going 71mph while pushing 4,000rpms, and it wouldn't shift. The temperature outside is 1 degree fahrenheit. The same thing was happening when it was cold in December. That day I don't think it got above 0 degrees fahrenheit.
