2023 Chevrolet Blazer — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 66 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Engine12 (18.2%)
• Driver-assistance systems10 (15.2%)
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)10 (15.2%)Official recall records for this system: 6, covering model years 2019–2023.
• Brakes9 (13.6%)Official recall records for this system: 10, covering model years 1995–2000.
• Electrical system6 (9.1%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 1997–2002.
• Steering6 (9.1%)

Other / uncategorized: 2 classifications (3.0%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (12,586 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: brakes, visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors) and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
• Safety recalls (88 records, model years 1995–2025) are most frequently classified under: lights, brakes and suspension.
• Transport Canada recalls (52 records, model years 1995–2023) are most frequently classified under: seat belts, brakes and electrical system.
• Manufacturer communications (9,179 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
