While driving on the highway in light traffic at approximately 70 mph and changing lanes, the side airbags in my vehicle suddenly deployed without warning. There was no collision, no contact with another vehicle, no road debris, and no apparent external cause for deployment. I did not strike anything before, during, or after the deployment. There were no vehicles within several car lengths of my vehicle at the time. Highway Patrol was dispatched to the scene. Officer TJ Carter with Guilford County responded. Upon inspection of the vehicle at the scene, we found no evidence of impact or contact with another vehicle, object, or debris. The vehicle was covered in yellow pollen at the time, and even light contact would have left visible marks or disturbance in the pollen. After examining the vehicle, no signs of contact were identified. The vehicle does have unrelated prior body damage from over a year ago on one side, but that damage predates this incident and was not caused by this event. The responding officer can confirm there was no collision or new impact associated with the airbag deployment. There was no accident associated with this airbag deployment. The airbags deployed while I was traveling at highway speed, which caused a sudden and dangerous driving event and required me to quickly maneuver to the side of the roadway. This created a serious safety risk to me and to surrounding traffic. Prior to this incident, there were no warning lights, safety alerts, or service notifications indicating an issue with the airbag system or vehicle safety systems. However, a notification did appear in the My Chevrolet app at or around the time of the incident. The vehicle has not yet been fully inspected following the incident. A safety claim has been submitted to General Motors. I also have video footage of the Highway Patrol Officer cutting down the airbags on-site but cannot add that below so I have added a screenshot.

The bolts holding the exhaust to the catalytic converter broke while I was driving my car. The car could have flipped, the exhaust could have busted through the vehicle, or I could have caused an accident and died. This comes on the heels of the EXACT SAME THING happening to my wife's Chevy Trailblazer with nearly the same mileage as mine. I have 97K miles and she 96K. This is a KNOWN ISSUE to them and it is NOT THE FIRST time this has occurred. There are thousands of similar instances that have occurred and one can easily find the anecdotes through an online search.

The Onstar module has went out on my car and while researching the issue I found out that it is a very common problem with Chevrolet/GM vehicles years 2021-2025 and although Chevrolet and GM are wwll aware that there's an issue and that the onstar modules are faulty there's been no recall. Mind you the module doesn't just affect onstar features it also is connected to bluetooth microphone and remote start and now none of them work at all.

Screen in car goes black.no radio,no noise,no back up camera-Apple car play won’t hook up anymore-I see others models around mine having exactly the same issues I am experiencing-I have reset radio/screen multiple times,it works anywhere from a few mins to hours then it blacks out again and there is nothing on screen.i have replaced the battery,key fine battery’s,and fuse.and I am still experiencing this issues.i have made an appointment at a Chevy dealer to have it diagnosed March 2,2026.that is $169.00 out of my pocket.again I am seeing plenty of other checks around my make and model having the same issues being recalled. My incident started about January 30,2026.

My family and I was I involved in a hit and run accident. My minor child is still suffering from shoulder/rotator cuff injuries. Hewas in the process to start conditioning for football. The seatbelt on the day of the accident did not lock. GM sent a criminal investigator not a trained engineer for the vehicle. The seatbelts needs to be inspected. The motor/transmission is making a ticking sound.

Had p1098 code come up on car at 67000 issue coolant control valve assembly went bad. This a commons issue with trailblazers and other cars similar to it. Bad design cause extremely expensive repair for this component.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the ignition switch was locked and failed to release the key. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the cause of the failure could not be determined; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was determined that the ignition switch had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that while driving at 68 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The message "Shift to Park" was displayed.

The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it remained for further investigation. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the same local dealer on several occasions. The dealer had previously replaced the battery and the turbo boost. Additionally, the dealer had performed an unknown software update and other unknown repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,962.

Exhaust fell off under normal operating conditions. Dealership (Dekalb Sycamore Chevrolet- Sycamore Illinois) stated this has been a common issue with this year group of Chevrolet Trailblazer SUVs. Dealership stated the bolts/exhaust pipe junction between the catalytic converter and pipe that goes to the muffler rusts through and the entire exhaust system from the cat back falls out of the undercarriage of the vehicle, which is what happened here.

I was in a collision. Traveling a four lane highway during daylight ours with no in-climate weather. The car in front of a line of approximately 4 cars missed their exit and slammed on his breaks to make a right turn from the driving lane. The line of cars in front of me stopped and/or left the roadway to avoid a collision. I was unable to stop in time and had nowhere to go and I rear-ended the car in front of me, which was fully stopped in the lane. According to my dash camera my speed on Impact was approximately 45 mph. No front end collision warning alarms went off. No automatic breaking occurred. No airbag deployed. None of the vehicle safety and anti collision measures performed as I had expected. $10,000 worth of damage to my car alone.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that after shifting into park(P), there was an abnormal beeping sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact shifted into neutral(N) and then back into park(P) to stop the beeping sound. The contact stated that while the vehicle was shut off and in park(P); the gear shifter independently shifted out of park(P) into reverse(R). The vehicle did not move backwards; however, the contact was able to shift back to the park(P) without further failures. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was provided with the cost for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure, despite multiple attempts for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

1/ while at the stop site, the car suddenly stopped and went black. Stereo turn off and screen went black. 2/ sometime I can’t unlock the car from inside. The lock works but not the unlock button. While backing or stopping there is a high noise that seems like I have a bad brake , took it to the dealership and they said the brake is good but they can’t figure out where the noise coming from. I took the car to the dealership 3 times in 1 month since the problem started and they still can not fix it.

Coolant Vavle malfunction Engine could overheat Yes Manufacturer No warning lights..check engine light came and I had the car diagnosed

When I shift my vehicle into park and hit the button to shut it off, a "shift to park" message appears on the DIC screen. I then am required to start my vehicle again, shift into gear, and then put it back into park and attempt to shut the vehicle off again. It has taken me up to 15 minutes to be able to get it to recognize that my vehicle is in park and for the message to not pop up. If I get out of the car while the message is still on the DIC screen, I cannot lock my vehicle and it drains the battery. I contacted my local Chevrolet dealer and they are saying that although this is a known issue which has had more than one GM Service Bulletin on this issue which includes my year and model, there is not an actual recall for this, so I have to pay out of pocket, because my bumper to bumper warranty expired at 36,000 miles and I am currently just shy of 39,000 miles. Of note, there is also a class action lawsuit for this exact issue so I am confused as to why a recall would not have been issued, or why it would not still be covered despite the expired bumper to bumper warranty.

Onstar module that is supposed to working in case of a crash or another emergency stopped working back in November 2024. It also is attached to other operations such as the vehicles microphone. I took it to the dealership Chevrolet said they would pay half of the replacement. My vehicle is not the only one. There is a forum online and other GM vehicles are having the same issue.

at around 42,000 miles my Trailblazer displayed a message that engine power had been reduced and the check engine light came on. I took it to my dealer who diagnosed as a problem with the engine turbo fixed it and returned the car to me. I drove for 2 weeks and the same thing happened. I traded it in on an Equinox after the service manager said the turbo was a know issued. I did not want to be driving on the interstate with reduced power. Also I took a financial hit on the trade.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that on several occasions, while the Forward Collision Avoidance: Adaptive Cruise Control was activated, and the brakes were inadvertently activated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and it was determined that three software updates needed to be completed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.

I reported my first issue back in late 2024 of the brakes squealing they took my car in and resurface the rotors. It stopped squealing for about a few months and now we are in summer of 2025 and they are squealing again. I took my car to the dealership because they told me that my car would be under warranty for 30,000 miles with the brakes. First started when they told me that the guy that told me I would have a rental car waiting for me did not set me up for a rental car. I live 45 minutes to an hour away from the dealership. When I pulled into the garage, I could hear the squealing of my car. When I went up to the counter the guy told me he couldn’t hear anything. They then tried to tell me that I would have to take my car back home and call back in the morning to talk to the rep I was talking to in the service department as he had already left for the day along with his associate. I was determined that I was not leaving there without a rental car and my car to be looked. I finally went in on my own to find the gentleman who sold me the vehicle who I really do appreciate and have no issues with him(Keith Keys) he’s a very good sales person at Weber Chevrolet. As they were getting me a rental the guy from the service department pulled around with my car and asked me to get in. He then told me that he had fixed the issue by slamming on my brakes a few times and that it was OK for me to take it home. I then let him know that it was staying to be looked at and I was going to take the rental. The next day when I called the service rep, he stated that they were going to replace the front brakes and it would be available the following day to pick up. When I went to go pick up my vehicle and leave the parking lot I didn’t even get out of the parking space and it was still squealing. I went back in and they told me it was normal and I would have to call the service rep the following day I’m still waiting to hear. I have owned many Chevy’s to know breaks don’t do that

The turbo went out on the car for absolutely no reason. Message popped up on dash board saying "Engine power reduced". I have seen this happen to many many many other card across the country. It does not many how many miles are on the car. some Ive seen 25k and some ive seen at 60k. Shouldn't Chevy be recalling and fixing the part? Seems unfair to me as a consumer. Who has thousands of dollars to get that repaired?

My car key keeps getting stuck in the ignition and won’t come out until we unhook the negative on the battery.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local Auto Zone where a diagnostic scanner was used to retrieve DTC: P146D.

The ABS system in this vehicle flashes warnings at quick restarts and while holding the brake down, it has no “sponge” when this happens. The brakes squeal constantly. I’ve had them inspected at every single maintenance and there can be no flaw found. When driving on the interstate, the engine is very “jerky” almost like the transmission can’t keep up with the speed of 70-80mph (not always, but it is noticeable when it happens). At first I didn’t think much of it but with the mass recall of chevys identified, I believe it needs to go on record - particularly about the brakes.

Engine failure. “Low engine power” mechanic read code as turbo failure.

The sunroof fabric roll came off of the track when attempting to open the sunroof. Yes it is still off the track I have yet to get it fixed due to time restraints. It poses a risk because of the loud noise it makes until you stop the opening of the sunroof. As many individuals open their sunroof while driving it poses a risk of being a major distraction if and when this happens. I have not taken it to get repaired yet but I did report it to the customer service via the my Chevrolet app. It did not give off any warnings or lights prior to the failure .. it was a sudden failure that shocked me when it occurred as I couldn’t figure out how to stop it to begin with

The brakes have been making a loud squeeling when I slow down. This has occurred since I bought the vehicle. The dealership has reviewed it multiple times and state they do not know what is causing it or how to fix it. The last time the tech stated there is nothing they can do. Now the brakes aren't performing as well as they did and it is concerning.

I have a 2023 trailblazer rs bought brand new. Currently has 12776 miles on it and for atleast the last 5000 miles I've noticed the breaks squeeling. Esp when I'm going slow speeds. I first thought maybe it was the weather or something. Moisture..whatever because this car is so new I just brushed it off. But it has progressively gotten worse and louder. Which is super frustrating when I'm picking my kids up in the pick up line and my car sounds 15+ years old when I'm rolling through and have to keep breaking. Squeeling in mine and everyone else's ear. I want this looked into a fixed. I had 2 kias before this that the engines blew from recalls they didn't wanna fix until it was to late. I'm a single mom who pays way to much to have a nice reliable car for there to be having issues already. I will be bringing it up to the dealership at my upcoming oil change. I refuse to be worried about the safety or reliability of this expensive new car..hauling my kids around.

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.
