When Driving the vehicle, usually around 1500 rpm, you feel the transmission start to stutter, and during this stuttering, the whole car shakes violently. this violent shaking occurs on the highway with speeds of 70mph and over. the shaking causes the steering wheel and lane centering function to become disoriented, hence almost causing me to get into an accident on the highway. This is not an isolated incident for my vehicle only. I am in a chevy 2019 blazer group on facebook and dozens of members have experienced this same exact issue. the members that got it repaired had to have the entire transmission replaced. apparently it is an issue with the gears not fitting properly and grinding causing shavings to get into the the transmission fluid causing the danger. I have addressed this issue with the chevy dealership i bought it from but the refused to document it or take accountability for the issue.

I am experiencing the well know “shift to park” issue. When I move the shifter to the park position and turn off the vehicle, I receive a message stating “shift to park” and I’m unable to fully power the car off or lock the doors. This is only overcome by trying to wiggle the shifter. The issue is intermittent and the remedy is not always successful. It seems to be happening more frequently. The issue began around 40,000 miles. I have contacted the dealership to diagnose the issue but the repair has not been completed yet.

The sensor or cable mechanism that tells the vehicle when it has been put in park is malfunctioning. It is not allowing me to park the vehicle correctly and forcing me to start and stop the car multiple times before registering that it is in park. Sometimes getting very frustrated and slamming into Park. I have seen many complaints about this error. The vehicle has less than 65,000 miles. This needs to be looked into and fixed by a recall. We've been very loyal to the Chevy brand and I believe we should not have to pay for the cheap part GM used and should not be failing within 3 years of purchasing the vehicle.
