I was driving at approx 45 mph when my car lost all ability to accelerate and shut down in the street. Flashing check engine light and esc warning on the screen. It would try to start but wouldn't. I had it towed to a mechanic who diagnosed and informed me that it is the Fuel pump power control module. Upon review he I formed me that there was a recall posted in September 2025 for 2021 Blazer on this exact issue. My car has now been unusable for a week as my mechanic recommends it be repaired via recall at dealership.
Car wouldn’t crank
I was driving down 776 (a busy highway)Blazer completely shut off, so scary almost got hit by a semi, I don’t know how he managed to get around me , I jumped out of car! Sure thought it was my day to die! Called police for help! Had it towed home then to garage , was told it was the electrical fuel modular! Haven’t slept right in 3 days ! I’m still so shaken up!

Fuel pump module. Driving highway speeds lost all engine power as car sputtered to a stop. Luckily car srill ran enough to maintain power steering and brake function. No warning lights.Thought it was bad fuel as I had filled the tank the prior evening with little driving after that. Towed to dealership after spending 2 hours in 100 degree plus weather on the side of the highway. Dealership states it is the fuel pump module. Dealership is waiting on new unit to be installed.
The Transmission valve control body went out while I was on the freeway.I was able to pull off to the side safely but has rendered my vehicle inoperable until I get this repaired. I have confirmed this with the dealership. This is a large enough issue with vehicles that the necessary parts are on back order. Anecdotally, the dealership told me there was a vehicle that was waiting for almost 3 months for a replacement part. For context I have regularly maintained this vehicle and just 10000 miles ago got my transmission flushed.
On Friday, April 28, 2023, at about 11:30 am, my car, died as I was driving it out of the grocery store parking lot; luckily, it didn’t happen as I was crossing the busy highway. I attempted several times to restart it, with no luck. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of this problem. The vehicle was in the middle of an aisle, blocking the aisle and many cars in parking spots, so I managed to get it into neutral and it backed around into parking spaces where the left rear quarter stopped against the front tire of a Ford F-350. I was actually thankful for the truck as I had no steering or brakes, and I was on a slight hill heading towards the road. I had it towed to the dealership, which was unable to tell me what the problem was before I obtained a ride home at 3:30 pm and that they would call me when they had it figured out. When I returned home, my husband had searched the internet for recalls for the car and was unable to locate any. I called the service department the next day, Saturday April 29, and was told that the problem was the fuel pump control module, which was under warranty, and it could be 3 months before it was fixed as they didn’t have one, and there was a large backorder. The fuel pump module was recalled on other GM vehicles GM #N212382040 and NHTSA campaign #21V739000, and there was another recall by GM on February 6, 2023 Recall #N222372310 that did NOT include the Chevy Blazer.
