2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer

All 3 bolts that connect my tailpipe underneath my car failed. This caused the tailpipe to disconnect from the car, meaning I was pushing the pipe as I drove. Luckily it failed when I was at an intersection, and I heard the noise. I was able to drive slowly into a parking lot and disconnect the exhaust for a repair. However, if I had been traveling down a highway when it occurred the pipe surely would've hit a bump and then jammed the rest of the exhaust back up into the under carriage of the vehicle and perhaps causing an accident. I did email the dealership I purchased the vehicle from, but they were unaware of an issues on the vehicle. However, from searching online, there are other 2022 Trailblazer owners experiencing the same issue. There were no warning lights before during or after.

Shift to park warning/beeping when already in park. Happening multiple times and different days

Vehicle stalled and shut off while driving in moving traffic on multiple occasions, resulting in sudden loss of power steering and brake assist — a significant safety hazard. Battery failed at 32,860 miles (September 2025) with all low voltage codes. Battery replaced by dealer. Vehicle continued to exhibit stalling, no-start, and Battery Saver Active warnings. Dealer has been unable to resolve the recurring issue across three visits (RO 510659, RO 518708, RO 523715) at Chevrolet of Culver City, Culver City CA.

When putting the vehicle in park and turning off, a warning message will appear that states "Shift to Park" and initially a nudge of the gear shift would clear the message, after one week, a simple nudge does not clear the message. The vehicle will not turn off and continues to beep, you have to put vehicle in gear (D or R) move a few feet, return to P, press very firmly on the brake and press the ignition button, this may or may not clear the message and it could take a few attempts of these steps to clear.

The two components that failed were the water pump and the coolant control valve which caused the engine to overheat, resulting in me having to pull over along the side of a busy highway putting me at risk for injury while the vehicle cooled down. It would be available for inspection upon request. This was dangerous mostly to myself due to having to pull over on the side of a busy highway and wait until the vehicle could be somewhat ok to be driven the rest of the way home. I had to drive very slowly home with my hazards on at a very low speed. Vehicle was brought to a nearby Chevy dealership the following morning. They had the vehicle for two days and claimed they could not get the problem to present itself, however, within five minutes of me driving it off the lot it overheated resulting in having to pull over again on a busy highway. An independent service center had the vehicle and diagnosed it initially as an intermittently failing water pump. This repair did not resolve the issue 100% as the vehicle began to slowly overheat again within 18 minutes of highway speed driving. Car was towed back to repair shop from my place of employment. They were able to get it to present the issue and diagnosed it as the coolant control valve. This has so far appeared to resolve the overheating issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance rep/others. The only warning that came up was on the info screen above the steering column advising me the engine was overheating and was in idle. Immediately upon seeing this I pulled over to prevent any damage. Temp gauge was all the way in the red. Fan was blowing hard. This has never happened previously and there were no other warning lights of any kind on the dash to indicate an issue. This incident happened on 6/2. Please be advised, this vehicle has since been repaired and has ran me $2300 as it is out of warranty.

I used the jack for the first time of buying the vehicle new. I jacked the vehicle up to put the spare on and the scissor jack folded up and the car dropped. So I looked up if there was a recall on it and there isn't but there is on other vehicles. Note: the car was on level hard surface ground and I placed the jack in the correct location.

I am having issues with putting car in park. Keeps showing not in park and will not shut off until I yank on handle. Getting worse & taking so long. Took to dealership and they said probably the harness and would cost $400 to $600 to fix. My research shows they have had this issue since 2018!! Only recall I could find was in Ohio. I feel angry they still keep using a defective part and expect us to pay to fix. I am older and on fixed income & don't have the money. Also why should I when it's their ongoing issue. I'm scared of this not letting me shut off car till I run out of gas!!

When car is shifted to park it doesn't let the car turn off. There is a message to shift the car to park when it is in park

For approximately a year, my vehicle sporadically gives a message when I shut it off staying it is not in park. It can take up to 5 minutes turning it back on, shifting through all gears, and turning it back off before it registers that it is in park.

I keep receiving a “shift to park,” message after putting the car in park and shutting it off.

Shift to park error randomly pops up.

My shift to park was broken last September 9-25, and I took it to the dealers I bought it from (the month prior, in august) and they fixed it. I was never informed what they did to fix it. I didn't have any issues with it after that up until recently. I will put my car into park, press the engine button to turn it off, and then it displays the shift to park message and beeps. the light next to my gear shift will be on "P" and my screen also says my car is in park. I have to mess with the gear shifter until it recognizes that it's parked so I can actually leave my car. I have taken it to an auto shop local to me and they had it all day and couldn't figure out what caused it. I typically am stuck in my car for over 5 minutes because of this issue. My lane departure warning worked for about 2-3 months after I purchased the car. Out of nowhere it stopped working and when I press the button to turn it on, it says it's unavailable. I've tried cleaning the sensor, turning it on when I'm not accelerating/braking, and turning it on while in cruise control and it will not work.

Unknown cause but Timeline: -Delayed push start (5 -15second delay from electrical system starting) -Early battery failure (3 years old) attributed to operating voltage ranging between 12-13 -Camshaft replacement 4 months later the delayed engine turnover began again. All diagnostic testing shows no error

My vehicle has 2 issues that are known but only recalled for another year. My car will say shift to park when in park and will not power off. My vin shows no open recalls for this issue for my vehicle but there is a service bulletin for this issue with my year vehicle. The dealer will not cover the cost of repair since my vin is not listed in the recall. Also I just had to replace the vaper cannister purge pump and vaper cannister valve and extended warrenty was offered on the purge pump and valves for 2021 trailblazer for this known issue but not 2022. Dealerships refuse to address my concerns to assist/investigate/return phone calls to help to see how to add the 2022 trailblazer to the recall

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into park(P) as needed. The contact attempted to turn off the vehicle, and the message "Shift to Park(P)” was displayed. The contact jiggled the gear shift lever and the vehicle shifted to park(P and then turned off. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent, but was a recurring failure. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the shift lever assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact researched online and stated that it was a known failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was 47,304.

The park switch inside the transmission control assemblies shifter control assembly fail to detect when shifting gear into park

Unknown. This was a certified preowned vehicle that was purchased on December 18, 2024. We have had NUMEROUS issues with the car since purchase but the most concerning has been the door actuators. The front door actuators on both sides failed in less than a year from date of purchase. I was told by the dealership where it was repaired that this was a common problem and to expect the rear ones to not be far behind. 4 months later, the rear ones are now not working. This creates a safety hazard, especially since this is the primary vehicle that my teenager drives with his younger brother. A malfunctioning door lock actuator can create dangerous situations, including the possibility that a door may fail to unlock or open, potentially trapping passengers in the vehicle during an emergency or out of the vehicle when my underage children are by themselves. Conversely, the door may appear to be locked when the mechanism has not actually engaged, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to unauthorized access. Faulty actuators may also cause erratic locking or unlocking behavior while the vehicle is in motion, which can create a safety distraction for the driver as well as a security risk. There were no warnings that this was an issue. My son thought the doors were locking (and unlocking). I am aware GM is already "tacking" this issue as I could find stats on how many people have reported, so it is enough that they are taking notice.

The studs that connect the front exhaust to the rear exhaust and muffler rusted and the exhaust fell down and crumpled up. Basically tore the exhaust off of the car when this happened.

The exhaust system and muffler fell off the bottom of my vehicle. The bolts holding the exhaust together failed and broke which led to this. This is a common failure with the newer trailblazer that GM is failing to acknowledge. There have been multiple reports of this. I had my vehicle inspected by Webb Chevy in oak Lawn IL and all the mechanic could say is “they don’t make them like they used to” which means they know this problem exists. This 100% put me at risk as I could’ve crashed with my daughter in the car when the muffler disconnected causing it to scrape and lose power. This was extremely dangerous and should’ve been a recall. There was no warning lights or anything. My vehicle just ran into issues mid traffic and this was extremely scary. There’s multiple online forums of people with this same issue: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
