New 2020 Chevy Blazer AWD Premier with OEM Continental CrossContact LX Sport tires in size 265/45R21. Car has 18,000 miles on it and tires have been rotated and inflated correctly. All 4 tires have tread depth near 2/32 and need to be replaced per tire shop. Come to find out this Continental brand of tires has no treadlife warranty at all so they don't even believe in their product. How can Chevy and Continental be allowed to put this tire on new cars to rip off the consumer. I'm going to have to buy 4 new tires on a car that has 18,000 miles on it. This should not be happening. It's also a safety concern for others on the road that aren't aware they need to check their tire tread depth so soon with these tires.
The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. In addition, the check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle failed to operate. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
REARVIEW CAMERA AND BACK UP CAMERA CONSTANTLY NOT FUNCTIONING AND GOING BLACK WHILE AND MOTION OR BACKING UP. CAR ACTS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING IN FRONT OF IT (LIKE A WALL) ON CERTAIN ROADS AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE TO TURN/PULL OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD A CAR PRIOR TO THIS THAT DID THIS BEFORE AND STOPPED AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON A BUSY ROAD AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CAR IS ACTING LIKE THIS!
IN 2 OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURNED OFF ON ME. I WAS THINKING IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE BUT AFTER THE 2ND TIME I WAS CONCERNED. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL GOT SUPER HARD AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TURN THE WHEEL. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, ACCORDING TO THEM TRUCK WAS PERFECTLY FINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING. THE CONTACT THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET OF COLUMBUS (2825 MERCHANT MILE, COLUMBUS, IN 47201) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RODENT DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXPENSES WOULD NOT BE COVERED EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 300.
AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR RANDOM PERIODS OF TIME AND AT RANDOM SPEEDS, ALL THE TPMS SENSORS WILL GIVE ALARMS AND THEN REGISTER AS DASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. IT GIVES ALARMS FOR EACH TIRE AS EACH TIRE GOES OUT UNTIL ALL OF THEM GO OUT. THEY WILL RESET AFTER A RANDOM PERIOD OF TIME AND START TO SHOW THE PRESSURE AGAIN.
TWICE WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK. IN MOTION.
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH GOING STRAIGHT WHEN MY CHEVY BLAZER ACTED AS IF IT 'HIT A BRICK WALL' AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I GOT OUT AND NOTICED MY RIGHT, FRONT WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED INTO MY CAR. SOMETHING HAD COME LOOSE INTERNALLY AND LOCKED UP MY WHEEL. IT DAMAGED MY CAR SO BAD WHERE MY SUSPENSION WAS DAMAGED. IT HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS NON DRIVABLE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1300 MILES ON IT. I DECIDED AT LAST MINUTE TO NOT GET ON HIGHWAY.
WITH APPROXIMATELY 1500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE BLAZER'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED SLOWLY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IN A LEFT TURN. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE INTERSECTION, JUST AS THE VEHICLE WOULD TYPICALLY UP-SHIFT, THE RPM SPIKED, THE VEHICLE JOLTED FORWARD, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THE INITIAL JOLT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK AND STOPPED THE ENGINE. UPON RESTARTING, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND, THOUGH I COULD PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. MOREOVER, WHEN I TRIED TO ENGAGE REVERSE, THE CAR REMAINED IN NEUTRAL. I HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHICH INFORMED ME GM HAS A BULLETIN ON THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRING TECHNICIANS NOT TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT, BUT TO INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION.
