The required back up camera got water inside the housing, worked for a little while, and then ultimately failed. There is a Recall for other trailblazers with this exact issue, however it seems my VIN was not included in said recall.

2021 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER
Filed Oct 20, 2026
While driving on the interstate on October 17, 2026, my 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer (1.2L turbo) suddenly lost engine power and would not accelerate, with the check engine light on. I had to coast to the shoulder and have the vehicle towed. The dealer diagnosed a failed turbocharger and a failed timing belt at 110,904 miles ā far below GM's own 150,000-mile replacement interval for this belt. A timing belt that fails early can cause sudden, total loss of power at highway speed with no warning.ā¦

When using the gear shifter to put car into park, it does not register that the car has been parked at all. It is available for inspection upon request. The car says it was in park but had to use the parking brake to ensure the car was parked. The manufacturer has been notified of the issue and even settled a class action lawsuit regarding the issue without issuing a recall.

2024 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

When accelerating forward, the front wheel is almost locked up, and I was violently thrown forward into the seat belt and steering wheel. The transmission seemed like it jammed and the car was bucking. there is a known GM technical service bulletin on this, but no recall. The car was towed to the dealer and not drivable. Iām glad this did not happen on the highway or with other cars around or it would have caused an accident and injury.
