Owner-reported complaints naming the electrical system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Electrical reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Crash reported1 injury reported

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? On September 12, 2026, while parked at the top level of a parking garage, the vehicle unexpectedly began rolling forward after being parked and exited. The vehicle subsequently struck a concrete wall. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? On September 12, 2026, my son parked the vehicle on the top level of a parking garage. He exited the vehicle while I remained seated in the rear seat and his girlfriend remained in the front passenger seat. I later moved to the driver's seat to speak with her. As I exited the vehicle to meet my son, the vehicle unexpectedly started rolling forward on its own. Nothing was touched or intentionally activated prior to the vehicle moving. Because the vehicle began moving while I was exiting, I fell and suffered injuries including a scraped knee, swelling and injury to my foot, pain in my hands, and abrasions on my arm. The vehicle continued rolling and struck a concrete wall, causing damage to the front of the vehicle. The unexpected vehicle movement placed me, the passenger, and other nearby individuals at risk of serious injury. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I am reporting these incidents for investigation. The vehicle is available for inspection by Chevrolet, the dealer, NHTSA investigators, insurance representatives, or other authorized parties. No warning lamps, messages, or other alerts were observed prior to the Rear Automatic Braking events or the vehicle roll-away incident. The braking events and vehicle movement occurred unexpectedly and without warning. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle. Between the multiple false activations of the Rear Automatic Braking system and the incident on September 12, 2026, where the vehicle unexpectedly rolled forward and caused injury

Complete and total failure of the telematics module resulting in loss of self driving, onstar, WiFi, gps, and all connected services. Severe battery drain due to module forcing the vehicle to completely shut down while driving, resulting in loss of power steering and brakes.

The Telematics Module failed and is on backorder. This is a known issue across the U.S. This makes it so OnStar doesn't work and I am paying for it. Not just that the safety concern of it not working. GPS, Maps, Level 3 Tesla doesn't work. Car is really not usable as we can't charge on a level 3 when going over 100 miles. We have loss access to navigation, Google Built-In services, the myChevrolet apps, and even core safety and convenience features tied to connectivity, including OnStar and Super Cruise.

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.

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.

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.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
