I was driving into a parking lot when my back passenger side window imploded like a rock was thrown at it, but no rock and nobody in sight. I looked all around for a cause but believe it somehow spontaneous shattered. Thankfully 3 minutes prior I had dropped my kids at school otherwise there would have been injury I am sure.

SteeringMay 2026 · ODI 11739939Details +

Electronically controlled thermostat and sensor fail or get stuck at a much lower coolant temperature causing the dash to display the “steering assist is reduced drive with care.” It isn’t just a message, the steering is much harder to use potentially causing an accident. The ac completely doesn’t work causing potential for sensitive, elderly, or young children and pets to overheat inside, it’s significant risk of injury or death from the hot summer temperatures. The engine coolant temperature gauge is all the way down on C position which isn’t registering how hot/cold the engine gets potentially causing damage to the vehicle and a total loss of the vehicle entirely due to damage from the engine overheating. GM sent out letters to 2021 blazer owners which included a special coverage number N252508350 applying to people with this year having this problem and they have until 2036 or 150,009 mi to get the repairs made free of charge, they just bring the document with the special repair codes to the dealer and they fix it free of charge. After doing research online, this problem is affecting all years of the 2019+ blazers with the 3.6L V6 engine AND other known problems with other models and years of their other lineup of cars, it’s very widespread across their platforms. So what are people supposed to do when it isn’t the 2021 year? Pay an $800+ repair bill to GM when they KNOW it’s more widespread than just this year/make? This is a scam. I can’t even do the repair myself because I’m having trouble finding the correct parts online and not only that the repair is extensive, the whole top half of the engine needs to be taken apart just to get to the thermostat, we’re talking the airbox and intake manifold, all the plastic parts and shrouds and sensors covering engine, the fuel rail and injectors, pipes and clamps, engine coolant needs drained and refilled. It’s a major fix. I’m reporting this complaint to raise awareness and hopefully GM will do the right thing.

The vehicle will not shut off when you shift to park. You are forced to sit in the vehicle for extended periods of time attempting to get the vehicle turned off. Apparently Chevy is familiar with eat problem and there are pending class action law suits in Ohio. According to the dealership Chevy has acknowledged there is a defect but no recall has been issued. We have had this issue for about two months and it is getting worse.

2019 Chevy Blazer. Car would not turn off the electrical components when parked. Put car in park and walked away and there is a warning note that says, "Shift to Park." But the car was in park. Called Chevy and they know about the issue on the 2019-2023 vehicles. They sent me the Technical Service Bulletin. Back in 2020, the car had the shifting harness and button replaced and we just had to have it replaced again because it is a consistent issue with the vehicle. Except this time, the dealer charged us $668.40 to fix it! It is a known issue by the company and THEY sent me the service bulletin to get it fixed. It should have been covered by Chevy, or, at least a recall should be instituted. The power to the car wouldn't shut off. We were able to jump the car to get it started again.

I believe my thermostat is a problem. I keep getting "P012B" "coolant under operating temperature" codes on my obd2 meter. This seems to coincide with "driver assist reduced" on my instrument cluster on my dash board. I researched it and on a forum it sounds to be a very common problem. Someone said to report it on here. I can clear the "p012b" error code with my obd2 and my thermostat instantly becomes responsive however it comes back within 2 days or so.

The shift-to-park sensor in my 2019 Chevy Blazer RS is malfunctioning. After shifting into park, the vehicle does not detect that it is in park and displays a “Shift to Park” message. The issue is/has been ongoing and now it is almost impossible to bypass with wiggling the shifter. Safety Risk: The vehicle cannot be fully shut off or locked, increasing the risk of battery drain or unintended movement. This poses a safety risk if the vehicle is left in public or on an incline. Inspection History: The vehicle was taken in to the dealership in November/December 2025 due to MULTIPLE Warning Lights: “Shift to Park”, "Steering Assist", "Stabilink" and the usb-C charging port under the radio screen will stop working all together when this happens as well. This started around September 2025 and has occurred regularly since.

At the same time this happens the temp gauge stays on cold, the ac quits working, the engine fan is on high, and most of the time I get code PO128. We have had it in to the dealer and they said the its the thermostat or the temp sensor. From what I am reading it could be a factory issue with the EMI issue from sensitive ECT circuitry.

At startup, I would receive a message that said, steering assist reduced. There were no check engine lights or warning lights. My air conditioning stopped working, and my temperature gauge on the dash remained at cold. I also noticed the radiator fans were on full blast, continuously. I called the dealer, and they weren't sure what was causing that. I told them I was getting codes #U0401 & P0128. They asked me to clear the codes to see if they returned. I cleared the codes, but they returned immediately on restart of the engine. I'm going to replace the thermostat but i didn't understand the #U0401 code, so did further research. I found 2017 Bulletin #17-NA-158 which seamed relevent to my issues, and Vehicle Fitment that confirmed my 2019 Chevy Blazer is included. I then came to find that the un-shielded low voltage wires for the coolant temperature sensor are routed through the same harness as high voltage coil wiring. Some of us know that EMI will affect low voltage signals. As an HVAC system designer, I know that un-shielded low voltage communication wiring cannot run parallel two line voltage power wiring. The effects are not continuous, but definitely reoccurring. I also understand there has not been a recall for this issue which surprises me. I can replace the thermostat even in its difficult position, but I don't feel comfortable in separating the low voltage wiring from the harness. I understand that dealers who are aware of this issue, charge a hefty fee to do so. It's definitely one that I can't afford.

"shift to park" message appears when parked (even if safety brake is engaged) and attempting to turn off the vehicle. The vehicle does not turn off and remains running for various periods of time. Unable to turn the vehicle off, leaving it unsecure and drains the battery. This happens consistently. I contacted my local dealership and they confirmed getting several of these reports through their shop, but no recall has been made.

My check engine light came on (solid) and my AC stopped blowing cold air and my auto start stopped working. I used a diagnostic tool to read the code and it said "P0128 Coolant Thermostat $07e8". The same thing happens with my heat when it gets too cold out.

The start/stop accumulator endcap may have missing bolts.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the start-stop transmission accumulator and replace it if any bolts are missing, free of charge. The recall began December 15, 2020. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267, Buick Customer service at 1-866-608-8080, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.
