What 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When using the gear shifter to put car into park, it does not register that the car has been parked at all. It is available for inspection upon request. The car says it was in park but had to use the parking brake to ensure the car was parked. The manufacturer has been notified of the issue and even settled a class action lawsuit regarding the issue without issuing a recall.
Unkown~ I find my antenna to pose a safety risks due to the antenna base has allowed moisture , water, affecting navigation system/radio, everytime it rains, radio stops working n navigation system water ingress can damage critical electrical system ,including radio manfuctuer and dealership in that antenna design is poorly designed failure during car washes and rain, I would like the whole unit to be replaced and locatiion is replaced and relocated in a safe place.where rain does not go in lemon law/ I was not aware that antennas needs to be removed at every car wash therefore its fraudelence. I was not disclosure of vulnerabilities of antenna going through car washes and having exteme moisture .
When putting the gear shift into park there is a constant SHIFT TO PARK message that plays even when shifted to park and forces the car to stay in accessory mode. This drains the battery and does not allow car to shut down fully. This is a known issue with this make and model of vehicle and GM refuses to make any changes or recall any vehicles. I will have to pay out of pocket for this repair with only 29,000 miles on the vehicle.
When entering onto the freeway, I accelerated to the speed of the freeway traffic and the turbo system failed and the message was ENGINE POWER REDUCED and the check engine light came on. During the time of the turbo failure, I was almost hit by another vehicle that had to suddenly brake to avoid hitting me. This turbo failure happens frequently.
The shifter doesn't recognize when it is shifted into park. Shift to park keeps flashing on dash.
When I shut off the engine, it says “Shift to park” and the car will not turn off. To get it to turn off, I have to turn the car back on (usually multiple times), until it recognizes that it IS in park.
I was driving down the highway when the 3 bolts holding the exhaust under the car broke off. My exhaust was dragging down the highway until I could safely get pulled over. The bolts are welded in of course so you can’t just put new bolts in you have to replace the whole catalytic converter, which is a pain to do unless you take it to the dealer and pay $2000.
Shifter does not recognize its in park, from what I read this affects thousands. Why am I having to sit in my car for minutes at a time? is Chevy not required to handle the fixing of that switch. What a subpar design team they have. I just had to cough up over $800 to fix rusting because of shit wheel design that doesn't protect those components. Absolutely unacceptable to have consumers not only buy a car but then not issue a recall over the switch just inside the console I guess they want to con thousands to pay for a new shifter?
The car showed an error message saying shift to park when trying to turn the car off. The car was in park and showed in park on the dashboard & shifter but the error message still said it wasn’t in park. While this error is showing it will not allow the car to shut off or lock doors. I have a little over 19k miles on this car and should not have this issue. After researching this has been a know issue with their vehicles for years and it still has not been addressed.
