2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I could turn off the engine after driving, but the key stays in the position between the engine being on and the car being off (for example when you can listen to music but your car isn’t running). The battery light came on after the issue started and so the car service place charged us to replace the battery, because they had to turn on and of the car a lot and the car had to continue to run. I took it to a car service place and they ran tests and called Chevy test support to run diagnosis tests. They can’t figure it out. They think it might be the body control module. Not sure what that is. The car only has 31,000 miles on it and this is a safety issue because what if this happens and the steering wheel locks or it becomes a rolling hazard. This would affect the driver and others. There were no lights or errors indicating a problem before this happened.

Engine power reduced came on after I was driving from a patient’s home. My car started driving very rough. I had to pull over because I was in danger of being hit from behind. I took my car to a mechanic and was diagnosed with the code DTC P2714. I looked online and there are a lot of people having this issue and being put in dangerous situations when we drive. Chevy knows about the issue and has not issued any recalls. Unfortunately for me my vehicle is past the limited warranty so now I have to save up money to get my transmission serviced. I’m never buying American again. I could’ve been really hurt when my engine cut off.

Found standing water in spare tire well. Back seat constantly wet, growing mold. The whole back area is moldy, mold under driver seat. My back passenger door seal has mold and water. Seat belts in back, MOLD. I had to wear a mask just to drive to the store. The mold turning black the day I took it to a shop for a water test. It's been two days and I still haven't heard anything about the water test.

2021 Chevy Trailblazer When I go to park my car, there is a constant error of 'Shift to Park'. The car is already in park. I must wiggle the shifting knob, restart my car, or drive around before my car will turn off and recognize that it is in park. My safety is compromised each time I get in the car. If the car cannot recognize it is in park, what happens when it can't recognize it is in drive as I am on the road? Or reverse? Or any gear? My safety is also affected because my car does not realize it is in park, and at times I cannot exit my car. I am highly concerned that the car does not truly know which gear it is in and it compromises not only my safety, but the safety of my family/other passengers, and other drivers on the road. The problem is a known problem and there is an active fix bulletin for the problem. GM cannot get the part in stock - it has been 5 weeks. It affects not only my year, make, and model, but many others too. GM continues to sell the cars with this known safety defect. This defect has been confirmed by the dealership, and GM has sent out a known fix for the issue (TSB PIT5616A). There is also a class action lawsuit for this specific issue with GM. GM's solution to me is to trade in my car for a newer model rather than waiting for the part. In addition, many cars of my year, make, and model require a whole new transmission, but GM will only replace the shifter harness to start with, if and when they receive the part. I was told that the part could take up to six months to receive. For an issue that has been happening since at least 2019, this is unacceptable. The only warning that I receive is when I am trying to shut off my car and it will not shut off due to this error. This has been happening to my car for 2 months, but there seems to be a history of this defect since at least 2019.

When I place my car in park, a "shift to park" message appears on the dashboard. I am unable to fully turn my car off and the car will ding at me. I have tried driving around the parking lot, pushing the shifter from side to side and into another gear then park again, going forward and backward, but the problem still exists. It started to occur more frequently, until it occurred every time I drove the car. I'm not sure if the car is actually in park, so when I finally get it to turn off, I place the emergency brake on. I can not physically turn the car off when this message appears on the dashboard. I took the vehicle to the service center of the dealer on 11/12/2024. I was told this has been a big problem with GM cars and they have had many cars coming in with the same problem. Currently the part is on backorder, and there is not an ETA as to when it will be available due to high demand for this part.

Our 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer was purchased last December in 2023. For at least a week now the "shift to park" alarm goes off, practically every time we put it in park & turn the engine off. It wont shut up. The lights stay on, and it won't let you turn the alarm on. Sometimes if I wait and go back & jiggle the gear shifter through different gears, and turn the engine on & off it might stop, show me a "check the rear seat" warning, and be alright( until the next time I drive it and try to park it). It's becoming more & more persistent. I checked with the Chevrolet dealer, and they said the vin number isn't listed under the recall, so GMC won't cover it. We don't have the money to take care of it ourselves, and don't know what to do.

I was driving on the highway and out of nowhere the exhaust pipe after the converter had fallen on the road at highway speed. It happened to be the rear pipe leading to the muffler, which is behind the rear bumper, so when the pipe fell, it fell facing the front of the vehicle. The fact that I was able to get the vehicle to a nearby rest stop safely was amazing in itself, that nothing more tragic happened at highway speed with the exhaust pipe facing forward on the ground is a miracle. How does this happen to a 3 year old vehicle? The flatbed driver said he thought there was a recall on the Trailblazer, as he had towed several with the same problem. I called GM, they assured me that there was no recall and could schedule me a service appt to have the vehicle assessed and repaired, I declined, I already have an estimate from my local repair facility, which is still quite a bit of money.

My key gets stuck in the ignition almost every time I turn the car off. In order to get it unstuck I have to restart the car, put the car in drive or reverse, put the car back in park and then try to take the key out again. This has to be repeated sometimes as many as 10 times for it to finally release the key. I have read about many other people having this same problem and eventually the key not coming out at all and they've had to have it cut out. I have an appointment at a dealership for August 1st (the first available appointment) and my vehicle is just out of warranty so I'm told I have to pay to have this fixed. This is clearly a manufacturers defect and first starting happening before my vehicle was out of warranty, I just didn't realize that it would become a much bigger issue the longer it kept happening.
