Windshield has terrible glare and reflects the dashboard as to limit visibility. Front collision and auto braking including rear collision and braking are a safety hazard as they create hard braking events for no reason. Car will stop sudden for no reason. These are both serious safety issues. These are problems we have had with the car since purchase and have had the dealership shop work on the problem and were told just to leave it turned off. This is not the correct way to fix a problem with a vehicle.

On April 7, 2025 while backing out of the driveway, my son's car abruptly stopped. The manhole cover at the end of our driveway triggered the emergency braking system. My head was slammed against the headrest and caused a great deal of pain in my head. On April 15, 2025, I went to Kaiser and was told that I have a concussion.

I am writing to report a serious safety concern regarding the adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert systems in my Chevrolet Blazer. These systems are malfunctioning in unpredictable and potentially dangerous ways. On multiple occasions while driving on the expressway, the adaptive cruise control has abruptly and forcefully applied the brakes without any apparent reason. There have been no vehicles directly in front of me posing an immediate threat. While there may be traffic in adjacent lanes, my lane has been clear. This sudden deceleration is alarming and dangerous, creating a significant risk of rear-end collisions from vehicles following too closely. The red lights will come on and indicate an imminent problem but it is a malfunction. The abrupt stops are frightening for all passengers, and the frequency of this occurrence is troubling though on rare occasions since I have first owned the car. I have observed similar complaints from other Blazer owners on online forums, reinforcing my concern that this is not an isolated incident. The dealer has not being able to reproduce but acknowledges that other drivers have a similar issue. Further compounding this issue is the malfunctioning rear cross-traffic alert system. While backing up at low speeds, the system will unexpectedly and forcefully engage the brakes, even when there are no vehicles present in the surrounding area. While less dangerous than the expressway issue, this erratic behavior still indicates a significant system flaw. I understand that adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert are intended as safety features, but their current malfunctioning poses a substantial safety risk. I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly. I expect these features to function correctly and reliably. I request immediate action to address these defects and ensure the safety of myself and other drivers.

I’ve been in pain for 3 days since the last time my auto braking slammed on the brakes. The situation this time was in the school pick up line, where there are 3 rows of cars and I was in the middle lane. This is a very slow progressing line bc each lane has one car move forward at a time and we then move forward and stop It slammed on the brakes so much harder than I would even have been braking in that scenario and I thought I’d been rear ended. It’s happened another time when I was in moving traffic and created a very dangerous situation which fortunately we did not end up causing a crash. I’ll be disabling the feature immediately as it’s much more dangerous than useful and I am in so much whiplash pain this time around it’s insane

When the Automatic Emergency Braking system is enabled, it will suddenly brake when in reverse even though there is no obstacle at the back. The braking is so sudden that it is painful. I reported it to the dealership but they never got back to me about a solution. I have disabled the AEB for now.

The emergency brakes engaging in reverse and while in drive. Not available for inspection as the vehicle is now totaled. It was involved in a rollover accident. I believe the emergency brakes caused the rollover. If the rollover was in fact due to the emergency brakes engaging, the accident could have happened on the highway, or a busier street putting several lives in danger. Thankfully, there were no other vehicles involved. The dealership as well as GM were notified of the issue. The dealership was unable to reproduce the issue, and returned the vehicle backed to us. Upon researching online, this is a known issue for the Blazer EVs. After the accident, the vehicle was towed as it was not drivable. The vehicle was then picked up by my insurance company, Progressive, and evaluated if the vehicle was repairable. It is not. The emergency brakes engaged previously to this event. Several times in reverse, then a handful of times in drive.

I have had the car for 3 weeks and twice it has slammed on the brakes for an instant at slow speed. Both times I was at least 20 feet behind another vehicle travelling at less than 10mph when the brakes locked up for an instant throwing me against the seatbelt very hard and bringing me to an emergency stop. The first time the stop was so hard I thought the car behind me had hit me but it had not. I thought maybe it was the emergency braking but there was no alert or warning as there usually is when the car warns me of possible collision. The last time I contacted OnStar and asked the run a diagnostic which they said came back with no errors. I have not taken the car to the dealer since i cannot reproduce the problem.

This vehicle massively underperforming based on what was told to me at the time of sale (250–300-mile range), I have never come even close to that range. I am averaging about 125 miles using about 70% of the fully charged battery. I WAS informed that during colder temperatures I would experience faster battery degradation but it was not mentioned that it could be as dramatic as losing 50% of my range. I feel the mileage has been massively inflated to seem better situated to compete in today's EV market at the direct expense of consumers. In addition to the blatant falsehoods I have been told, the automatic emergency braking is seriously dangerous and primed to get people killed. In 6 months of driving, I have had no less than 4 separate experiences in which the AEB system engaged when there was not a vehicle or pedestrian infront or around my vehicle, engaging a full locked braked at speeds between 15 - 25 mph.

EA26006 · Electronic Brake Module Component Failure

Opened Aug 21, 2026 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes

On April 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE24011 after receiving complaints concerning a loss of brake assist in 2023 MY Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. These complaints allege a hard brake pedal, followed by a “Brake System Failure” message at start up or while driving. GM shared records regarding several internal investigations for loss of brake assist due to alleged spindle fractures in the eBoost system. GM has stated that in the event of a spindle fracture, anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and traction control remain functional until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. At this point, ABS, brake assist, stability control, and traction control functions are lost. The loss of these functions causes the vehicle to set one of three Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) based on failed performance criteria for the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). These DTCs, in turn, activate several driver alerts: an audible chime, a visual “Service Brake System” message in the display, and multiple illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lights (MILs) for the ABS, Traction Control, and Brakes informing the driver of loss of functionality. The vehicle speed will also be limited to 70 KPH (43 MPH). Since opening PE24011, ODI has continued to receive reports of loss of brake assist. Some of these reports describe symptoms inconsistent with GM’s description of a spindle failure. These reports allege an immediate loss of brake assist functionality as opposed to the loss occurring after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The sudden loss of brake assist during a braking event could result in extended braking distance, which increases the risk of a crash or injury. ODI believes further analysis is necessary to assess the potential for failures in GM’s eBoost system to resulting in safety-related outcomes. At this time, ODI is aware of the following vehicles that are equipped with this eBoost system: 2023-2026 MY Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon; 2024-2026 MY Buick Enclave, Envision; Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Traverse; Cruise Origin; and GMC Acadia; 2025-2026 MY Cadillac Celestiq and Optiq. ODI is also aware of 2024-2026 MY Acura ZDX and 2024-2026 MY Honda Prologue vehicles that were built with this system. The Acura and Honda vehicles were manufactured by GM in a joint venture with Honda, and will be included in the Engineering Analysis as peer vehicles. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis to further assess the safety-related consequences of a failed eBoost system. In addition, ODI is expanding the scope of the investigation to encompass all GM vehicles that share this eBoost system.
