2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer

My vehicle has 2 issues that are known but only recalled for another year. My car will say shift to park when in park and will not power off. My vin shows no open recalls for this issue for my vehicle but there is a service bulletin for this issue with my year vehicle. The dealer will not cover the cost of repair since my vin is not listed in the recall. Also I just had to replace the vaper cannister purge pump and vaper cannister valve and extended warrenty was offered on the purge pump and valves for 2021 trailblazer for this known issue but not 2022. Dealerships refuse to address my concerns to assist/investigate/return phone calls to help to see how to add the 2022 trailblazer to the recall

The studs that connect the front exhaust to the rear exhaust and muffler rusted and the exhaust fell down and crumpled up. Basically tore the exhaust off of the car when this happened.

The exhaust system and muffler fell off the bottom of my vehicle. The bolts holding the exhaust together failed and broke which led to this. This is a common failure with the newer trailblazer that GM is failing to acknowledge. There have been multiple reports of this. I had my vehicle inspected by Webb Chevy in oak Lawn IL and all the mechanic could say is “they don’t make them like they used to” which means they know this problem exists. This 100% put me at risk as I could’ve crashed with my daughter in the car when the muffler disconnected causing it to scrape and lose power. This was extremely dangerous and should’ve been a recall. There was no warning lights or anything. My vehicle just ran into issues mid traffic and this was extremely scary. There’s multiple online forums of people with this same issue: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Shift to park message when car is in park - cannot turn off vehicle until message goes away. Car can roll if message is not off. Brakes: intense squeaking

“Shift to Park” message came on the dashboard. Car would not change gear or go into reverse or drive. Basically stuck in Park position. Car kept peeping sound nonstop for over 20 minutes. And it drained the battery. Car would not drive. Had to have it towed to the dealership I brought it from 45 miles away. I had to pay $656.72 at dealership to get it fixed. The dealership removed and replaces the shifter assembly which cost $656.72.

The three bolts at the flange attaching the muffler to the upper muffler sheared off due to rust and the whole rear muffler fell off when driving the car on an interstate. Car is 3 years old and at the time had 65,000 miles. The bolts used are of poor quality, and to make matters worse, there is no exhaust hanger near this flange so the muffler is supported at the front by just this flange. Poorly designed by GM.

Unknown. This was a certified preowned vehicle that was purchased on December 18, 2024. We have had NUMEROUS issues with the car since purchase but the most concerning has been the door actuators. The front door actuators on both sides failed in less than a year from date of purchase. I was told by the dealership where it was repaired that this was a common problem and to expect the rear ones to not be far behind. 4 months later, the rear ones are now not working. This creates a safety hazard, especially since this is the primary vehicle that my teenager drives with his younger brother. A malfunctioning door lock actuator can create dangerous situations, including the possibility that a door may fail to unlock or open, potentially trapping passengers in the vehicle during an emergency or out of the vehicle when my underage children are by themselves. Conversely, the door may appear to be locked when the mechanism has not actually engaged, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to unauthorized access. Faulty actuators may also cause erratic locking or unlocking behavior while the vehicle is in motion, which can create a safety distraction for the driver as well as a security risk. There were no warnings that this was an issue. My son thought the doors were locking (and unlocking). I am aware GM is already "tacking" this issue as I could find stats on how many people have reported, so it is enough that they are taking notice.

Vehicle experiences intermittent loss of acceleration at highway speeds. While driving at highway speed or going uphill, up ramp, down hill, down ramp the engine loses power and enters reduce power mode, making it difficult or impossible to maintain speed or safely merge with traffic. The issue is unpredictable and has occurred despite prior repair attempts. Vehicle is covered under a GM special turbo warranty for a known defect. Warranty came out Oct 2022, Due to the loss of power the vehicle is unsafe to operate and is currently at the dealer.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into park(P) as needed. The contact attempted to turn off the vehicle, and the message "Shift to Park(P)” was displayed. The contact jiggled the gear shift lever and the vehicle shifted to park(P and then turned off. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent, but was a recurring failure. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the shift lever assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact researched online and stated that it was a known failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was 47,304.

Vehicle displayed "Shift to Park" error and would not shut off. This occurs after the shifter is placed in the park position. By any standard, a defective component that prevents the car from being shut off is an extreme safety concern and needs immediate attention. Additionally, the instrument panel remains illuminated and the aux power items continue to function. This has happened multiple times and has drained the battery on several occasions.

The exhaust and muffler completely detached from the catalytic converter/exhaust manifold while driving down the road. If we were driving at a higher rate of speed, the exhaust pipe could've caught on any imperfection on the roadway and shot the rear end of the vehicle up and then potentially caused an accident/death. This has happened to many I have discovered upon further research and is a common problem with the vehicle according to the dealership. Vehicle has been towed to the dealership to be inspected and/or repaired. Zero warning signals, lamps, or messages.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that while in park(P), the gear failed to shift into the intended gear. The contact wiggled the gear shifter for the vehicle to recognize that the gear shifter was shifted out of park. The shift to park error was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 32,700.

The bolts attaching my muffler to my exhaust pipe sheared off of my 30,000 mile 2022 chevy trailblazer at highway speed, launching them into my muffler. My exhaust pipe dropped-at 70 miles an hour it could have ripped off, and I am lucky the bolts went into my muffler and not something more vital. Also, If the pipe or muffler had fallen, I-or someone behind me- could have run over it causing potential control issues. I am seeing that this is a common problem on various consumer forums. There was NO warning- didn't even get a check engine light after the fact- things just got REALLY loud. I was fortunate to be close to an exit (as I was in a construction zone) and was able to get a tow to the nearest dealership.

My car has been well maintained and always taken for service according to recommendations from the manufacturer. My brakes have ALWAYS squealed since I first bought it new but apparently there’s nothing they can do about it so I’ve just dealt with it. Now a more serious concern I am having after manufacturer warranty is my dash is displaying a shift to park message every time I shift into park and turn off my car. I also might add that this has been going on with others! Chevy doesn’t think it’s a concern when it is a very serious issue. I have children and once when I went to get gas after almost being on empty my car wouldn’t turn off because of that error and I couldn’t get gas. I tried turning it off and on multiple times to fix but it just didn’t want to work when I needed it most. I have to aggressively charge gears go get it to work most of the time. It’s a serious issue that has been brought to their attention and shouldn’t be happening to a vehicle under 50,000 miles and well maintained. These issues need to be addressed there’s no reason I should have to pay to fix an issue this extensive and costly in a 2022 vehicle.
