The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration and the speed increased to over 70 MPH. The contact indicated that while depressing the brake pedal the vehicle failed to slow as needed and the parking brake was activated to eventually stop the vehicle. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who was unable to determine or confirm the unintended acceleration failure. The contact was informed that the brake rotors and brake pads needed to be replaced due to excessive wear. The contact stated that during a previous unintended acceleration failure, the speed was reduced while depressing the brake pedal; however, the vehicle would accelerate when the brake pedal was released. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.
