2019 Chevrolet Blazer

This is less an incident and more like a concern. I noticed a slight shudder upon accelerating. It started at lower speeds, approximately 25-30 mph, and shifting between second and third gear. Now with daily driving, the shudder has progressively gotten worse. It now happens at higher speeds, approximately 50-55 mph, and has become more violent. There is also now an acceleration and deceleration issue whether my foot is on the accelerator or I have the vehicle on cruise control. After some research, reading several service bulletins and forum posts, I have learned that the problem component is the torque converter in the transmission. Chevrolet is aware of the problem and has issued a service bulletin, PIP560C, recommending a drain and fill claiming that will fix the problem. I had this done in accordance with the bulletin, and it only made the problem worse. After talking with more than one mechanic, I was told that if this problem is not fixed, the vehicle could stall and the transmission could lock/seize up. This could present a safety issue by posing a potential cause of an accident if the vehicle stalls in the middle of a highway or busy street. This issue also can potentially cause further transmission failure.

Snow/Ice build up inside tire rim's, causing improper tire balance. And also brake to freeze up when vehicle is parked, during driving in winter snow conditions. When driving on interstate roads at speed limit, the vehicle start's to shake a lot , like a flat tire. I talked to a Chevy dealer service manager about it and he said that their wasn't any safety massage out on that problem. I've never had a wheel snow/ice up like that before !! So now during the winter I check and clean out the snow/ice out of the wheel rim to prevent the vibration and driving problem. No warning light came on. It just shook the car real badly while driving on the highway.

When Driving the vehicle, usually around 1500 rpm, you feel the transmission start to stutter, and during this stuttering, the whole car shakes violently. this violent shaking occurs on the highway with speeds of 70mph and over. the shaking causes the steering wheel and lane centering function to become disoriented, hence almost causing me to get into an accident on the highway. This is not an isolated incident for my vehicle only. I am in a chevy 2019 blazer group on facebook and dozens of members have experienced this same exact issue. the members that got it repaired had to have the entire transmission replaced. apparently it is an issue with the gears not fitting properly and grinding causing shavings to get into the the transmission fluid causing the danger. I have addressed this issue with the chevy dealership i bought it from but the refused to document it or take accountability for the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the engine remained idling; however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact was able to navigate the vehicle off the roadway. The check engine warning light then illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the connecting transmission coolant hose had disconnected due to a missing clip, and that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

My complaint is with the standard HID headlights in the 2019 Blazer and the very poor mounting system. The headlights are mounted TOO LOW to be effective in lighting the roadway, particularly where no shoulder stripping is on the roadway. Too, at unlighted intersections the lighting so poor that safe left or right turns cannot be accomplished. The HID lights themselves are a poor design in that they do not offer any useable peripheral lighting to add vision to the road shoulders. Due to the low mounting, the HID do not adequately shine light onto the road surface. Rather the available light shines across the surface and not down on it had the lights been mounted at the top of the fenders as most lights are mounted and designed. This has been an ongoing issue with the vehicle since purchasing the car new in November of 2018.

Shift To Park message displays while vehicle is already in Park! Incident began increasing in frequency in late 2022 . Vehicle would not Shut Off! Bulletin on problem came out in 2019, Chevy did not inform me of this Safety issue , Grandchildren in vehicle at least 2 times . Chevy charged me for the fix , Chevy was aware of problem before warranty expired !
