Owner report 11692763 · 2025-10-11 (October 11, 2025)
There is something wrong with the battery charging system, this is a known issue for GM. I've brought it to the dealership to address the issue and they do not know what is wrong or how to fix it. Sixteen times since I got this vehicle it has flashed a warning "service charging system: your vehicle may stall because the battery is not charging properly. Schedule service soon." I obtained this vehicle April 30th with 5 miles on it. They still do not have a fix for this, the dealership stated they would contact me when there is a recall....

The incident involved a 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer, purchased new in late February 2025.

The vehicle was towed by GM Roadside Assistance and is currently at an authorized Chevrolet dealership, where it is available for inspection upon request. While driving in Cambria, New York, the dashboard illuminated with multiple warning indicators and the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power…

Owner report 11702070 · 2025-11-30 (November 30, 2025)
The vehicle displayed a warning on the dash that the battery was not charging properly and vehicle may stall. The vehicle was checked at dealership and issue was disregarded. 3 days later the vehicle showed the same warning and the battery light flickered, there was a chane in the power and lights dimmed. This was evaluated by dealership, apparently it is a known issue but no resolution available. When the battery light flashed during the second event there was no control over the vehicle (power/steering) creating a very concerning safety issue…

Owner report 11661889 · 2025-05-19 (May 19, 2025)
On 4/14 with only 21 miles on the odometer in this newly purchased car the entire transmission failed, per the dealership because of a “leaking valve”. The check engine light came on after the car was jumpy and then the car refused to speed up on an extremely busy street and began locking up, putting us at serious risk of an accident. It was barely able to reach a parking lot and at that point all of the transmission fluid leaked out all over the parking lot.
