5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant complaint pattern on the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer centers on the forward collision avoidance system behaving unexpectedly. Owners frequently report the automatic emergency braking activating with no obstacle present, both while driving forward and while reversing, sometimes displaying a "Approaching Person" warning when no pedestrian is nearby. Several owners describe the braking happening without any audible alert or dashboard warning ahead of the event. A related complaint involves cruise control failing to disengage when the brake pedal is pressed. Electrical system issues are the second most-reported category, with owners describing failures in the telematics module that knock out navigation, remote start, and connected-app functions simultaneously, with dealers confirming the part needs replacement. Visibility and wiper complaints round out the top three reported systems, though at lower volume.

By System
The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer has 3 recalls, including a door striker that can break and allow a door to swing open while driving, and a parking brake wiring issue on Blazer EV models that can either lock the rear brakes unexpectedly or leave the vehicle unable to hold on a slope.
The parking brake concern affects only Blazer EV trims: the rear parking brake wiring harness can corrode or sustain damage, triggering the parking brake without warning while driving or preventing it from holding the vehicle when parked. Prior repair attempts for this issue did not fully resolve it for some vehicles, which is why a second recall was issued. The door striker recall applies more broadly and involves strikers that can fracture and fail to keep the door latched.
